Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A

Explanation

According to Article 315(2) of the Constitution of India, a Joint State Public Service Commission (JSPSC) can be established for two or more states. This process requires the legislatures of the concerned states to pass a resolution requesting such a commission. Following this request, the Parliament may by law provide for the appointment of a JSPSC.

Key points regarding JSPSC:

  • It is a statutory body (created by an Act of Parliament) and not a constitutional body, although there is a constitutional provision for its creation.
  • The Chairman and members of a JSPSC are appointed by the President of India.
  • The JSPSC submits its annual performance report to each of the concerned State Governors.
