Government Introduces Reforms to Streamline UPSC and SSC Recruitment Processes
The Indian government has implemented administrative and technology-driven reforms to improve recruitment through the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) and Staff Selection Commission (SSC). These changes include reducing recruitment cycles, discontinuing interviews for certain posts since 2016, issuing provisional appointment letters with self-attestation, and introducing AI-based verification and face authentication to enhance transparency and security. The reforms aim to make hiring faster, more efficient, and credible, with several lakh appointment letters distributed through National Rozgar Melas since October 2022, according to Union Minister Jitendra Singh.
