In recent years, the Commission has enabled itself to conduct a huge number of recruitment drives faster. It has maintained a high level of transparency by leveraging technology and following best practices in the field of recruitment. I compliment the Commission and its staff for their efforts in clearing the backlogs in recruitments and adhering to the Annual Recruitment Calendar.”
