CHAPTER-II
FUNCTIONS AND ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE OF STAFF SELECTION COMMISSION
2.1 FUNCTIONS As per Article 320 of the Constitution, the examinations for recruitment to all posts and services of the Central Government are required to be conducted by the UPSC. The Estimates Committee of Parliament in its 47th Report (1967-68) recommended the setting up of a Service Selection Commission for taking over examinations for recruitment to lower category of posts from the UPSC. Pursuant to this, and as an interim measure, an Examination Wing was added to the Institute of Secretariat Training and Management of Government of India. 2.1(A) The Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC), in their Report on Personnel Administration, drew attention to the fact that the bulk of the staff of the Government at the Centre and in the States belonged to Class III and Class IV categories. Referring to the identical nature of qualifications stipulated for entry into such posts in various offices, the ARC advocated pooling of the requirements of the nontechnical posts by different departments and selection of personnel either by joint recruitment or through a Recruitment Board. After careful consideration of this recommendation, the Government of India decided to constitute the Subordinate Services Commission vide Resolution No. 46/1/(S)/74-Estt. 'B' dated the 4th November, 1975 (Appendix-I) of Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms. 2.1(B) A Commission called Subordinate Services Commission was constituted which was subsequently re-designated as Staff Selection Commission (SSC) on 26th September, 1977 to make recruitment to Class III (now Group 'C') non-technical posts in the various Ministries/Departments of the Government of India and their ANNUAL REPORT 2010-11 13
STAFF SELECTION COMMISION Subordinate / Attached Offices . The functions of the Staff Selection Commission have been enlarged from time to time. From May, 1999, this Commission took over recruitment to all Group 'B' posts (non-gazetted) in pay scales the maximum of which was less than Rs. 9300-34800 (Grade Pay Rs. 4600) from the Union Public Service Commission. From November 2003, the Central Government further authorized the Commission to make recruitment to all Group 'B' Non-Gazetted posts carrying scale of pay of Rs. 9300-34800(Grade Pay Rs. 4600). 2.1(C) The functions of the Staff Selection Commission as per Resolution No. 39018/1/98Estt (B) dated 21.05.1999 and its subsequent amendments vide Resolution No. 24012/8-A/2003-Estt (B) dated 13.11.2003, 29.09.2005 and January 14, 2011 are given as under :(a) (i) To make Recruitment to Group 'B' (Non-Gazetted) posts and Group 'C' (NonTechnical) posts under Government of India and their attached and subordinate offices, except those posts which are specifically exempt from the purview of Staff Selection Commissions in Pay Band-2 and Pay Band-1 carrying Grade Pay upto Rs. 4600/-and are filled through conduct of competitive examinations. To make recruitment to such posts under Government of India in Pay Band-2 and Pay Band-1 carrying Grade Pay upto Rs. 4600/- by selection through interviews, which may, at the discretion of the Commission, be preceded by a shortlisting or skill test.

14
STAFF SELECTION COMMISION the Commission through the Department of Personnel, Government of India, for making recruitment to the various posts of LDC / Steno (OG) / Accountant for them. The Commission has acceded to the request made by the Andaman & Nicobar Administration to hold the aforesaid examinations in order to assist the candidates from the remote Island population. Commission is assisting in the entire process of recruitment including the vetting of Notices, fixing up the date(s) of the examination, confirmation of contents and scheme of syllabus for the preparation of Question Papers, evaluation of answer sheets, conducting of examinations and preparation of final results of the above mentioned examinations. The Commission also provided assistance to BSF for conducting the Written Examination for recruitment to the post of Constable (GD) in BSF which was held on 21.2.2010. On the request of the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Commission has agreed to assist in recruitment of around 52000 Constables (GD) and Riflemen in the Central Police Organisations. The Recruitments, advertised in February 2011, elicited response from 21.68 Lakh candidates. A proposal to broaden the mandate of the Commission to include analogous posts in statutory and autonomous bodies is under consideration of the Government. 2.2 ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE OF STAFF SELECTION COMMISSION A Chairman, of the rank and status of Secretary to Government of India, heads the Commission assisted by two Members. A Secretary-cum-Controller of Examinations heads the Secretariat of the Commission. The sanctioned strength of Commission's staff in its Headquarters at New Delhi and Regional and SubRegional offices as on 31.3.2011 was 511.

15
STAFF SELECTION COMMISION A proposal has been mooted for organizational restructuring keeping in view manpower requirements vis--vis its mandate. The proposal broadly envisages upgradation of several posts and infusion of much needed professional expertise. 2.3 REGIONAL NETWORK
2.3(A) Unlike other Public Service Commissions, the Staff Selection Commission has a regional network of its own. This is a unique feature which facilitates effective links with the State Governments and Central Government Offices located in the states. The regional network has been of particular relevance in the conduct of the Commission's examinations at different centres. 2.3(B) The Resolution under which the Staff Selection Commission has been constituted provides for opening more Regional / Sub-Regional Offices of the Commission at such other places as it considers necessary with the approval of the Department of Personnel and Training. 2.3 (C)The Staff Selection Commission has nine Regional / Sub-Regional Offices in different parts of the country. These Regional / Sub-Regional Offices are responsible for smooth and peaceful conduct of the examinations. They provide administrative support to the Headquarters for performing various activities involved in the smooth conduct of examinations like receipt of applications from the candidates, Electronic Data processing of applications, issue of Admit Cards (ACs) to the candidates, booking of venues at various centres within their jurisdiction in consultation with the District Authorities, sending non-confidential examination material to the Centre Supervisors and appointment of Invigilators and Inspecting Officers at various examination centres. Further, Regional Offices are also responsible for holding interviews / Physical Endurance / Efficiency Test (PETs), wherever required. The Regional Offices are also responsible for contacting various Government of India offices located in the States within their jurisdiction, to collect and consolidate vacancies and communicate them to HQs. After declaration of the result by the HQs the Regional Offices are required to allocate the candidates to the user departments as per their requirement in accordance with objective and transparent criteria and after thorough scrutiny of their eligibility. Policy decisions taken by the HQs are required to be implemented by the Regional Offices in letter and spirit.
16
STAFF SELECTION COMMISION Operational problems and other related issues, if any, are referred to HQs by the Regional / Sub- Regional Offices. Prompt, smooth and continuous communication between Regional / Sub-Regional Offices and Headquarters has been ensured to facilitate resolution of the problems and issues. Details regarding setting up of Regional offices, their location / address, areas of jurisdiction are available in Appendix C and C-I. Upgradation of Sub-Regional offices at Chandigarh (NWR) and Raipur (MPR) is being contemplated by the Commission. A proposal received from Ministry of Home Affairs for opening a Sub-Regional Office at Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir is also under consideration of the Government. 2.4 EXPENDITURE INCURRED AND FEE CHARGED FROM CANDIDATES The Commission has its Budget allocation under Major Head 2051 "Public Service Commission; Minor Head 00.103 - Staff Selection Commission". The expenditure in the setting up of any Regional / Sub Regional Offices of the Commission and working of the Commission is met entirely by the Government of India. The Commission is, however, entitled to collect examination fee for the various examinations / selections conducted by it. Candidates belonging to SC, ST, PH, EXS and all women candidates are exempt from payment of the fee. The Commission, in consultation with the Government of India, determines the fee structure. The mode of collection of fee is through Central Recruitment Fee Stamps (CRFS). These stamps are available at all Post Offices of the country. Candidates are required to affix these stamps in the space earmarked for the purpose in the Application Form. The Commission introduced online applications in January, 2010 with provision for payment of the fee through challan in branches of State Bank of India or online payment through the SBI portal. In case of off-line applicants, collection of fee continues through CRFS. The Commission's proposal to allow payment through credit cards/debit cards in case of online applications without any financial loss to the exchequer is pending with the Controller General of Accounts for the past 18 months. Online applications, which are in the range of 30-40% of total applications, are cost-effective for the Commission and also for the candidates. The statement of income and expenditure of the Commission since its inception is presented at Appendices-E and E-I.

CHAPTER-III
THE YEAR 2010-2011 IN RETROSPECT
3.1 2010-11 was a pathbreaking year in the history of Staff Selection Commission. Effective steps taken in previous year started showing results during 2010-11. 23658 (23187 Open + 471 Selection Posts) candidates were selected from all India Examinations against vacancies in different grades reported by various Ministries, Departments, attached and subordinate offices as against 10249 candidates selected in 2009-10. 5952671 candidates applied in response to notices issued for All India Open Examinations. Compared to 288161 women candidates who applied in 2009-10, the number of female candidates who applied in 2010-11 rose to 1075015. Processing of the large number of applications would not have been possible with the limited manpower had initiative not been taken to introduce automation and modern technology in the previous year. The Combined Graduate Level Examination, 2010 was conducted in revised format which resulted in economy of time and expenditure and led to finalization of results within 12 months from the date of notification of the examination despite three-fold increase in number of applicants. Introduction of multiple-choice objective type question papers and OMR based answer sheets contributed to completion of the examination cycle in the least possible time. The Commission has now reached a position where it is possible to achieve its objective of declaration of results of singlestage, two-stage and multiplestage examinations in 6 to 9, 9 to 12, and 12 to 15 months respectively. Facility of online applications introduced by the Commission in January, 2010 was well accepted by the candidates both in rural and urban areas. The number of candidates who apply online is increasing steadily and has already reached about 40% of the total applications. Besides being simple and time saving, this has
3.2
18
STAFF SELECTION COMMISION resulted in considerable reduction in data processing cost for the Commission and postage etc. for the applicants. However, Commission's effort to obtain approval of Controller General of Accounts to allow credit / debit cards for payment of fee, without any reduction in fee transferred in the account of SSC has not met with success. Use of credit/debit cards for payment, without any financial loss for the Commission, will lead to increased use of online applications and further decrease the time taken in the recruitment cycle. 3.3 The schedule of examinations to be conducted by the Commission during the year was carefully planned and all examinations held on schedule. It is worth mentioning that in addition to regular examinations conducted by SSC, the following examinations were conducted on consultancy basis :1. 2. 3.4 Recruitment of Inspector (Prosecution) and Sub Inspector (Prosecution) in Railway Protection Force under Ministry of Railways. Recruitment of Assistant Sub Inspector in CISF.
The credibility of Staff Selection Commission reached such a level that other organizations, despite having their own recruitment agencies, approached Government and Staff Selection Commission for recruitment through Staff Selection Commission. Railway Board made specific request seeking help of Staff Selection Commission in selecting candidates for the post of Inspector (Prosecution) and Sub Inspector (Prosecution) in Railway Protection Force. The Commission, with the approval of DOPT conducted the written examination, evaluated answer sheets and prepared the list of candidates selected. The recruitment of Assistant Sub-Inspector in CISF was taken up on turnkey basis from advertisement to final result. On the request of Ministry of Home Affairs, notification for Recruitment of Constable (GD) in CISF, CRPF, SSB, ITBP , BSF and Rifleman (GD) in Assam Rifles was done in the last quarter of the year 2010-11 with publication of notice in February, 2011 and scheduling of the examination in May and June, 2011. Though this project was not within the mandate of the Commission, the Commission accepted the responsibility in public interest, to fill about 52,000 vacancies (since increased to 90,000) in aggregate which gave an opportunity to a very large section of unemployed youth all over the country to seek to serve in Central Paramilitary Forces.
3.5
19
STAFF SELECTION COMMISION 3.6. Moving towards sharing more and more information with stakeholders, Commission's decision to post marks of qualifying and non-qualifying candidates on its website resulted in greater transparency and interaction between the candidates and the Commission which led to boost in candidates' confidence in Commission's functioning apart from offering a quality check on the work of the Commission. The year was also a trend setter for the Commission with considerably large participation of youth of the country in the Examinations conducted by the Commission. In Combined Higher Secondary Level Examination-2010 alone, over 16 lakh candidates were registered. More importantly the large number of job applicants was handled in a very smooth manner inspite of constraints of existing manpower and infrastructure. Commission used Government and private educational institutions as venues for various examinations and most of the manpower engaged in the actual conduct of the examinations like invigilators, centre supervisors, etc. were sourced from such institutions and from among eligible Government employees. As accommodating such large number of candidates in one shift is not possible due to limited infrastructure and manpower availability, the examinations were conducted in 2-3 shifts spread over one or two days with separate question papers set for each shift. The Commission, with the help of experts, strived to set question papers of comparable difficulty level to provide for a level playing field for the candidates. Ensuring compliance with the objective of conducting all examinations in a fair and transparent manner, the Commission took additional measures to ensure that no attempt was made by any candidate to use any any unfair means. If found defaulting, deterrent action was taken against him. Measures taken included deputing flying squads from the Commission's Headquarters to select examination centres conducting various examinations. As a result of such measures, the examinations of the Commission were conducted in a smooth, fair and transparent manner. The website of the Commission (http://ssc.nic.in), revamped and inaugurated in October, 2009, is the single window through which information is provided to the applicants about schedules, examination notices, results, marks, etc. It is very

STAFF SELECTION COMMISION popular among candidates and as on 31.7.2011 has attracted over one crore hits, indicating its evergrowing popularity. It has consistently been ranked by different webhosts between 20000-30000 throughout the year and as on 31.7.2011 is ranked around 20,000 in the world. 3.10 The Commission's decision to utilize http://twitter.com, mainly a social networking site, as a forum of interaction has been appreciated by the candidate population which provides them an opportunity of giving feedback directly to the Commission, which in turn has been utilized for refining the examination processes and procedures. 3.11 Computer Proficiency Test was introduced in the Combined Graduate Level Examination, 2010 for the first time. Entire test was designed and developed in house and it was heartening to see high levels of proficiency in majority of the candidates. About 75% of the candidates selected from All India Open Examinations in 2010-11 possessed basic skills of working on the computer, which will augur well for total e-governance in the country. 3.12 The Commission, for the first time, organized the Multi Tasking Staff (NonTechnical) Examination during the year, which was smoothly held all over the country despite large number of applications -1615201. 3.12(i) 5952671 applications were received during 2010-11 for the 12 All India Open Examinations held. 3.12(ii) Results of 08 open examinations held either in the previous year or during the year were declared and a total of 23187 candidates were recommended for appointment. 471 candidates were recommended for appointments through Selection method. The details of Region-wise and Category-wise candidates recommended for appointment through All India Open Examinations and against the Selection posts during the year 2010-11 are given hereunder:

STAFF SELECTION COMMISION 3.13 The Commission takes note of socio-economic milieu of its candidates and tries to reach the candidates by opening centres of examinations easily accessible to the candidates. The examination centres are located at places that have large concentration of candidates and are well connected through Rail / Road so that candidates from far off rural areas have no problem in appearing in the examinations. During the year 2010-11, a network of 108 examination centres, consisting of 1418 examination venues, spread throughout the length and breadth of the country, was utilized by the Commission. Taking into consideration the difficult terrain etc, there are 2 examination centres in Jammu and Kashmir and 27 in the North-East beside one centre in Port Blair (A&N Islands). The location of examination centres is reviewed continuously and new centres are added as and when felt necessary. The Commission follows a broad-based approach to recruitment, with the view that proper evaluation of knowledge, aptitude and skill test are essential for successful performance in each job. In doing so, following are kept in view :i) It is to be ensured that the tools adopted for selection have high degree of reliability and validity; The system of recruitment should be in conformity with the national policies, socio-cultural and economic objectives, and meet the organizational needs; and The selection system is devised for speedy administration at optimal cost.

WELFARE OF SC/ST/OBC CANDIDATES 3.15 In order to ensure that the quotas reserved for SC/ST/OBC candidates are filled up to the required extent and SC/ST/OBC candidates take advantage of SSC Examinations, the following steps were taken: i) The Commission ensured that there was a wide dissemination of information regarding various recruitments by publishing 39 advertisements in the Employment News and Regional Newspapers with wide circulations. Examination centres were opened in areas having concentration of SC/ST population. A Sub-Regional office of the Commission is also located at Raipur, a belt predominately inhabited by tribal population. These steps

This is 44.16% of the total candidates recommended for appointment. SELECTION OF PHYSICALLY / VISUALLY HANDICAPPED CANDIDATES 3.16 While placing requisition with the Commission, the indenting Departments are required to indicate the number of vacancies exclusively reserved for Physically Handicapped. In order to ensure that the vacancies reserved for them are filled to the maximum extent, the Commission has decentralized the processing of their applications at Regional/Sub-Regional level and delegated powers to the Regional Directors/Sub-Regional Deputy Directors so that bottlenecks in getting medical clearance/certificates regarding the extent of physical disability are removed and clearance obtained at the earliest. Furthermore, close monitoring is done by the Commission at the Headquarters to ensure that the eligible candidates are nominated against the vacancies identified/notified for this category, at the earliest and all the posts reserved for physically handicapped are filled to the extent of availability. STEPS TAKEN BY THE COMMISSION TO MOTIVATE WOMEN CANDIDATES TO PARTICIPATE IN EXAMINATIONS CONDUCTED BY IT The Commission allowed fee exemption to women candidates cutting across all the categories with effect from 21.7.2009 to motivate them to participate in examinations conducted. Out of total applicants during the year, 28.42% were women candidates. Participation of women candidates has increased from 24.46% to 28.42% during the period under report.

STAFF SELECTION COMMISION STRENGTHENING OF EXAMINATION ADMINISTRATION 3.18 Due to qualitative change in the nature and composition of the clientele of the Commission, the main concern of the Commission is to conduct the examinations successfully, on schedule and free from incidents at all the centres. Since the number of posts available is limited, the competition has become fierce sometimes leading to display and use of unfair means for personal achievements. The Commission has been making concerted effort to see that such unhealthy practices are nipped in the bud. The system of appointing Invigilators, Supervisors and Inspecting Officers for the venues of the examinations has been strengthened. All information/complaints received regarding adoption of any unfair means is promptly looked into, investigated and brought to its logical end and stringent action taken against the wrong doers wherever required. Commission not only cancels the candidature of such candidates but also debars them from its future examinations. Inspecting officers drawn from other Central Government offices are also positioned in all venues and their reports analyzed for taking corrective action. The number of Inspecting Officers per venue was increased to two, wherever feasible during the year. Placing of scanned photographs and signatures of the candidates on the admission certificates is a recent innovative measure and has been successful. As a result of stepping up vigilance, strengthening of supervision, specialized screening of handwriting of doubtful cases by the office of the Examiner of Questioned Documents and requisite help from the State Governments and District Administration, salutary effects have been noticeable in holding of free and fair examinations. During 2010-11, the Commission started despatching flying squads from its headquarters and also introduced standard seating arrangements and distribution of question papers and answer sheets/booklets with the same serial numbers to each candidate. Analysis of performance of candidates was also done selectively to assess the extent of conformity with Commission's instructions.
STRUCTURED PERSONALITY TEST 3.19 For evaluating the personality traits of the candidates appearing for some of the recruitment examinations where the incumbents to the posts are more likely to come into contact with the public or are required to display special characteristics such as integrity and creativity, the Commission has made special efforts to ensure that prejudice and bias do not colour the assessment of the individual's personality traits. Notable among them are posts such as Inspectors of Income Tax/Central Excise and Sub Inspectors of CBI and other Central Police Organisations like CRPF,
27
STAFF SELECTION COMMISION CISF, BSF, ITBP etc. The candidates called for interview/personality test are informed well in advance through interview call letters about the scope of such interview in broad terms in order to provide them an opportunity to prepare properly. The interview schedule for Open Examinations is also placed on the Commission's website for information of the candidates. Selection of experts and advisors with appropriate and requisite professional qualifications and expertise in the relevant field continues to be emphasized. Uniformity of approach among various interview boards for the same category of posts and objectivity for different categories of posts have been ensured by introducing structured personality test. Moreover, the Commission keeps reviewing these guidelines on regular basis so as to ensure that they meet the test of time and judicial scrutiny. With a view to bring about further uniformity in the appraisal of candidates during the personality test, the Commission refined the guidelines further on award of marks during the year under report and also introduced random allocation of candidates to different boards and shuffling of experts and advisers. ADVISORY ROLE OF THE COMMISSION 3.20 Wherever it is noticed that the recruitment rules are rigid and unrealistic or have become redundant due to stipulation of unreasonably high educational qualification, the Commission suggests necessary amendments in the rules so as to attract the best available talent. Commission has also been suggesting amalgamation, rationalization and clubbing of posts which are similar, if not identical, in pay scales and other service conditions. The Commission also suggests to indenting departments to simplify the essential qualification clause in the respective recruitment rules in order to make the selection process more practicable and remove anomalies or unnecessary complications or ambiguity in the essential qualification requirements, vagueness in experience clause, length of service etc.
OPTICAL MARK READING (OMR) SYSTEM 3.21 For evaluation of answer scripts of objective type Question Papers, Optical Mark Reading System (OMR) is being used by the Staff Selection Commission in all its examinations. During 2010-11 evaluation of scripts of objective type Question Papers was done on OMR system in all major examinations. In this system, responses to questions are immediately and accurately captured and time taken for processing of results is reduced. Though short of officers qualified to perform such
28
STAFF SELECTION COMMISION analysis, the Commission initiated the process of item analysis in objective type question papers to provide post validation of individual questions and, therefore, the role of question papers in the entire selection process. QUESTION BANK PROJECT 3.22 (i) The Staff Selection Commission has developed a Question Bank which contains objective type questions for use in examinations conducted by the Commission. For replenishing the Question Bank and to facilitate selection of good quality and standard questions, the Commission organizes Question Bank Projects / Workshops on different Subjects / Component of testing viz, General Intelligence & Reasoning, General Awareness, Arithmetic & Numerical Ability, Comprehension & Writing Ability in English and Comprehension & Writing Ability in Hindi Language. In these workshops, organized in different parts of the country, a large number of Academicians, Scholars, Professors, & Experts on Objective Testing Techniques are invited from various Universities/ Institutions to participate. Commission also nominates eminent Education Specialists in the respective fields as Resource Faculty for such Workshops. In the Phase I of the Workshop, Item Writers are introduced to the principles of objective testing and techniques for writing good quality questions. Itemwriting exercise is conducted and group discussion held in the light of general guidelines issued by the Commission. Queries raised by the participants are clarified by Resource Faculty. In the two-day Phase II of the Workshop which follows after two months, group validation of question items submitted by the Item Writers takes place. The process includes scrutiny of each question regarding its thematic contents, language, grammar, difficulty level, responses and time taken etc. The Resource Persons and Senior Officers of the SSC (HQ) and Regional Office of Staff Selection Commission supervise the group exercise and other workshop activities. During the period under report the following Question Bank workshops were organized by the Commission. Workshop on Hindi at SSC (HQ) during August September 2010; Workshop on Law at Kolkata during November December, 2010;

REGIONAL DIRECTORS' CONFERENCE 3.23 A conference of Regional Directors /Deputy Regional Directors is held generally once every year to discuss operational problems and implementation of policy decisions of the Commission. The basic objective of holding the conference is to discuss intensively operation related problems and policy issues governing the recruitment and selection processes adopted by the Staff Selection Commission. Follow up action taken and outcome of the decisions taken in the previous meeting are also discussed and reviewed as a regular feature in such meetings. Such meetings also provide a forum to field level functionaries for exchanging views so as to draw common strategies. 3.24 During the period of this report, one Regional Directors' conference was held on 14th & 15th December, 2010 A meeting of Regional Directors was also held on 14.03.2011 to specifically focus on recruitment of constables, nomination of selected candidates and Selection Posts.

CHAPTER-V
RECRUITMENT TO ISOLATED POSTS THROUGH SELECTION
5.1. Besides recruitment through All India Open Competitive Examinations, the Staff Selection Commission makes recruitment to Group 'C' Non-Technical and Group 'B' Non-gazetted Posts, which are not covered by any open Examinations conducted by the Commission, through the selection method. Such vacancies are generally small in number and qualifications for such posts vary from Department to Department. The selection process for recruitment to such isolated posts, known as Selection Posts, is any of the following: i) Selection through short-listing of candidates on the basis of percentage of marks obtained in the essential educational qualification followed by interview. Selection through short-listing of candidates on the basis of a screening test/common screening test followed by an interview. Selection through Proficiency Test in the relevant subject/discipline which is essential for the post(s) in question followed by an interview. Selection through short-listing on the basis of percentage of marks obtained in the essential educational qualification followed by Skill Test. Short Notices for recruitment to Selection Posts are published in vernacular newspapers in addition to those in English and Hindi. Such notices are also placed on the Commission's website. Written Examination is conducted for recruitment to Selection Posts where the number of applications received is large with a view to select the best available candidates. ANNUAL REPORT 2010-11

STAFF SELECTION COMMISION vii) Interview for Selection Posts where there are sufficient candidates from different regions are conducted at different Regional Headquarters for the convenience of candidates.
5.3.
In order to select right candidates for the right job keeping in view job requirements, the Staff Selection Commission had made the interview process more effective by structuring it in such a way that proper and scientific assessment of the candidates is made by judging academic qualification, knowledge of the subject studied, personality, and aptitude and suitability for the post. The interview procedure has been further streamlined with a view to make it more objective. To rule out any bias in interviews, the Commission has decided not to disclose the category of the candidates to the Interview Board.

EXAMINATION CENTRES
There were only 19 examination centres when the Commission started functioning in July, 1976. Since then, the number of examination centres has increased considerably. During the year 108 examination centres having 1418 venues were utilized. The Commission has an impressive network of centres throughout the length and breadth of the country. Location of these examination centres is guided by a variety of considerations, including i) Socio-Economic background of the majority candidates appearing in the Commission's examination. ii) iii) Accessibility, remoteness and difficult terrain. Proximity of offices of sister recruiting agencies and organisations in general and assurances of facilities by State Governments and Public Service Commissions in particular for the orderly and smooth conduct of Commission's examinations. The number of Region-wise Centres and shift-wise venues of examinations is given below:

STAFF SELECTION COMMISION of Deptt. of Official Language and by DOPT on 28th October,2010 and 31st March, 2011 respectively . To ensure the proper compliance of the Official Language Policy and Programme, Regional Offices Kolkata (ER), New Delhi(NR) and Guwahati (NER) and three Sections of Commission - Establishment- II, Recruitment Headquarter and Policy and Planning were also inspected. Appropriate guidelines were issued to remove the shortcomings found during the inspection. To provide facility of doing work in bilingual form on all computers of SSC (HQs) and in view the nature of work of the Commission, another achievement of the Commission has been that as per guidelines of Deptt. of Official Language a Hindi Software 'Akshar Naveen' 2.0, supported by a new Unicode/incode, has been purchased, which has been uploaded on all computers of SSC (HQs.) and all regional/sub-regional offices. In addition to this, to familiarize all officers and staff of the Commission with the use of new software, a technical workshop was also organised by the technical representation of 'Akshar Naveen'. The purchase of new software has facilitated the working of Official Language Hindi in the Commission. Use of Hindi Software to conduct various Skill Tests on Computer - Earlier all skill tests in Hindi were conducted on manual typewriters. Since 2009 the use of manual typewriters has been discontinued and now all skill tests such as Data Entry Operator, LDC, Stenographer Grade 'C' and 'D' exams are conducted on computers. For this, Commission has developed a Hindi Software with active cooperation of NIC in which Unicode supported "Lohit Font" and Key Board layout 'Remington' is used keeping in view the standards relating to Unicode fixed by Deptt. of Official Language. This has reduced the time and cost factors of the candidates to a great extent. This may be acknowledged as a great achievement of the Commission. BILINGUAL FORM OF WEBSITE - All the materials such as detailed notice, examination results, corrigendum, short notices and all the tender notices are made available in bilingual form on the website of the Commission. This website is updated on regular basis. This website has gained huge popularity among the candidates as well as public and as on 31.7.2011, Hindi website has already registered over 4,21,000 visits/hits. RECRUITMENT OF HINDI POSTS - Action is taken on priority basis by the Commission for the recruitment of Hindi Posts in Central Government offices. Due to this reason entire recruitment process of the Junior Hindi Translator exam, 2010, which was held on 05.12.2010, had been completed by May, 2011. The Commission also completed the recruitment process for 68 posts of Junior Hindi Translators for various offices of Central Government of the year 2009-10 in 2010-11.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Consultation with UPSC 1. The Fifth Central Pay Commission in Chapter 17 of its Report has recommended a reduction in the workload of UPSC to enable the Commission to concentrate on more important issues and has given certain specific suggestions in this regard. Earlier, the Standing Parliamentary Committee on Home Affairs in their XX Report on the working of UPSC presented in 1994 has also asked the Government to identify more areas where consultation with UPSC can be dispensed with so as to reduce its workload. The Commission in the past has also impressed upon the Government to amend the relevant recruitment rules so that recruitment to Group 'B' non-gazetted posts can be handled by agencies other than UPSC. In this background, the provisions of UPSC (Exemption from consultation) Regulations, 1958 and other relevant orders have been reviewed so as to identify areas where consultation with UPSC can be dispensed with. Based on such a review, it has been decided with the approval of the competent authority that: (a) UPSC need not be consulted while making direct recruitment to Group 'B service or post which is in the scale of pay the maximum of which is below Rs. 10,500 the direct recruitment to these posts will however, be made through SSC. Procedure of vetting by UPSC of the minutes of DPC making substantive appointment of confirmation to any Group 'A' and 'B' service or post of any person recruited directly through UPSC to such Group 'A' or Group 'B service or post may be dispensed with. While making promotion by selection-cum-seniority to any Group 'A' service or post, the maximum of the scale of pay of which is less than Rs. 16,500 of an officer holding any Group 'A' service or posts.
