How the exam will ask it

ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್

  • The Chairman and members of a State Public Service Commission are appointed by the Governor of the State.
  • A State PSC chairman or member can be removed for misbehaviour only by the President, after an inquiry by the Supreme Court.
  • Article 315 provides for Public Service Commissions for the Union and for the States.

ಮೇನ್ಸ್

GS2 (Polity and Governance): recruitment to state services depends on independent Public Service Commissions. Article 315 creates them, Article 316 gives the Governor the power of appointment, and Article 317 protects them by letting only the President remove a member, after a Supreme Court inquiry. This secure tenure supports merit-based, impartial hiring; timely notifications, transparent exams and fewer litigation delays are the way forward.
