About Staff Selection CommissionStaff Selection Commission has it’s headquarter located at New Delhi. All examinations and administrative matters or issues are submitted to the chairmen. Two members, under whom the secretary functions, submit these issues to chairmen. Besides these officers, many other posts are present like director, undersecretaries, deputy directors, finance and budget officers, section officers and bunch of supporting officers. For the sake of smoothness in control and convenience of candidates, it has large network of branches/regional offices. Regional director heads each regional office while deputy director looks over sub-regional offices.
