Just one word-PATHETIC. Keeps crashing. Doesn't open sometimes. And closes on it's own while filling forms.Needs lots of improvement. Wasted lot of time and in the end couldn't submit my form all because of this site.Those who have created the site ,use it yourself first and see how the common people are suffering. Absolutely disgusting.

Himachal Pradesh attained statehood on 25th January, 1971. Prior to this date, the function of Public Service Commission in respect of the civil services and posts in connection with the affairs of the Union Territory of Himachal Pradesh were being discharged by the Union Public Service Commission under Article 315 of the Constitution of India. It was, therefore, incumbent on the State to have its own Public Service Commission. However, since a State Public Service Commission could be constituted simultaneously with the attainment of Statehood, the Union Public Service Commission, on a request from the Governor of the State of Himachal Pradesh with the approval of the President of India, agreed to serve the needs of Himachal Pradesh till the establishment of a Public Service Commission for the State or for a period of three months from 25th January, 1971 whichever was earlier. The Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (Members) Regulations, 1971 were notified by the Governor of Himachal Pradesh on 8th April, 1971 by virtue of the power vesting in him under Article 318 of the Constitution of India. These Regulations, prescribed that the Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission would consist of a Chairman and two Members to be appointed by the Governor. The Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (Members) Regulations,1971 were amended vide notification dated 17-01-1985 and the strength of members was increased from two to three. The Commission has its own building and the office located at Nigam Vihar (Chotta Shimla) on Cart Road. All correspondence (letters/applications etc.) relating to this Commission are being addressed in the name of The Secretary, Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission, Nigam Vihar, Shimla (H.P) – 171 002. And all relevant information is available with the receptionist which can be obtained either personally or by telephone.The Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission, being an independent and impartial Constitutional Authority, set up under Article 315 of the Constitution of India have to discharge the duties and functions , assigned to them under Article 320 of the Constitution. Further, by virtue of the provisions made in the relevant Acts, the Commission is required to advise the State Government on all matters relating to framing of Recruitment and Promotion Rules, principles to be followed in making appointments, promotion and transfer from one service to another and in respect of disciplinary matters affecting Civil Servants. At present direct recruitment of Class-I & Class-II posts of different departments is done by the Commission.

A word of advice: Only attend the interview if you have good political reach. Otherwise... Don't take the interview too seriously. Just enjoy it and gossip with the panel for an hour or so when/if you're there. Happy hunting.

Pathetic....old system was good..these public commission never ever attend your call.. always busy or no reply. despite repeated attempts from last 4 days I didn't get otp...MERA BUS CHALTA TOH ESSE MEIN MINUS FIVE RATING DETA.

Writing this review after trying to fill a form for atleast 100 times & still not able to do it. Pathetic site & form filling link.What are the IAS officers heading this commission doing there? Can't they even check the site on their own once in a while? They hire technical persons for just looting the govt money by way of salary?? I have never come across this kind of site in years. Even a school kid can do better than this. Serioulsy, wastage of Public money. Mujhe bola hota free mein bna deta is se achi site.

No time management in scheduling the results of the exams. This organization declares screening test result after 6-8 months or even later. And the same type of CBT is also taken by central agencies with almost lakhs of candidates giving the exams. But the result is declared within a month. Example: Gate exam. I don't know how much time for the complete result. Moreover, there is no certainty in declaring results with preoper schedule. Once you gave exam, you'll just keep on waiting for the screening test for very long period. It's pathetic that this type of system is just ruining youth's career. I expect from the officials to take serious steps.

My experience was really good , i got the opportunity to appear for interview at HPPSC . Everybody was cordial there. Interview was like a conversation where they wanted to check your overall personality , thought process and not the hifi formulas , data,theories etc. Instead of cramming UPSC interview questions or mock interview questions ,better option would be to sit and pen down all possible questions and answers based on your profile yourself .Tough i was not able to get selected finally , but whomsoever were selected were deserving and passionate( based on my personnel observation and interaction out there).Avoid falling yourself in the traps of negativity and confusion .Just upgrade yourself.Hope this may help you in some way .Wishing you all the very best for your future.
