The role of the UPSC in the Indian Constitution is primarily to serve as the central recruiting agency for various civil services in India, ensuring a merit-based selection process. Established under Article 315, the UPSC is responsible for conducting examinations for appointing civil servants, maintaining the principles of equity and transparency. Furthermore, it advises the government on matters related to the recruitment and promotion of civil services and plays a critical role in upholding the integrity and efficiency of the administrative framework within the country.
