The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is an examination body, the crucible where India’s future leaders are forged. It represents the democratic ideal of selecting the most capable individuals to steer the nation’s destiny. Established under Article 315 of the Indian Constitution, UPSC embodies the principles of impartiality and meritocracy.
