What is the Full Form of KPSC?

The Karnataka Public Service Commission, also known as KPSC, is a state government organisation that oversees the recruiting process for several civil jobs through departmental and competitive exams.

Initially, the state of Karnataka operated without a recruitment firm. However, on May 16, 1921, the government set the Central Recruitment Board's foundation. On January 19, 1940, when it was still a British colony, a commissioner secretary served as its leader. The Public Service Commission was established on May 18, 1951, four years after India gained independence, in accordance with the Public Service Commission Regulations of 1950 and the requirements of the Indian Constitution. In May 1951, H.B. Gundappa Gowda and Sri George Matthan were named as the commission's first chairman and members, respectively. The Government has appointed 67 Members and 13 Chairmen to the Commission since Sri H.B. Gundappa Gowda.
