Why in the News?

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has canceled its advertisement for lateral entry into the bureaucracy after receiving directives from the Department of Personnel and Training. The government instructed the UPSC to halt the recruitment process for 45 positions, including Joint Secretaries, Directors, and Deputy Secretaries in Central Ministries, following criticism from opposition parties.
