What does it do?
- The Act sets how the Public Service Commission, a constitutional body, selects candidates for the federal civil service, security agencies, other federal government services and public enterprises, so that recruitment is fair and merit-based. Bodies must consult the Commission on minimum qualifications, and the Commission decides whether a degree is equivalent to the required qualification, binding for all candidates with the same degree. Syllabi, marking and exam methods are set by rules or by the Commission.संवैधानिक निकाय लोक सेवा आयोगले सङ्घीय निजामती सेवा, सुरक्षा निकाय, अन्य सङ्घीय सरकारी सेवा र संगठित संस्थाका पदमा स्वच्छ र योग्यतामा आधारित उम्मेदवार छनोट कसरी गर्ने भन्ने यो ऐनले तोक्छ। न्यूनतम शैक्षिक योग्यता तोक्नुअघि सम्बन्धित निकायले आयोगको परामर्श लिनुपर्छ, र कुनै उपाधि तोकिएको योग्यतासरह हो वा होइन भन्ने आयोगको निर्णय उस्तै योग्यता भएका सबै उम्मेदवारमा लागू हुन्छ। पाठ्यक्रम, अङ्कभार र परीक्षा विधि नियमावली वा आयोगले तोक्छ। Nepal Law Commission, Government of Nepal Preamble; Sections 10–11, p. 4

Gaps, loopholes and improvement ideas
- Capacity Some advertised posts could not be filled. In FY 2081/82 exams for some posts in the Commission's annual calendar were postponed because no syllabus had been prepared, and 44 posts in 38 advertisements, mostly specialist doctor posts, drew no applicants; in FY 2080/81, exams for several posts were stayed by courts over qualification and syllabus disputes and 31 posts in 24 advertisements drew no applications.विज्ञापित केही पद पूर्ति हुन सकेनन्। २०८१/८२ मा आयोगको वार्षिक कार्यतालिकामा परेका केही पदको पाठ्यक्रम नबनेकाले परीक्षा स्थगित भयो, र ३८ विज्ञापनका ४४ पद (धेरैजसो विशेषज्ञ चिकित्सक) मा दरखास्त नै परेन; २०८०/८१ मा योग्यता र पाठ्यक्रमसम्बन्धी विवादमा केही पदको परीक्षा अदालतबाट स्थगित भयो र २४ विज्ञापनका ३१ पदमा दरखास्त परेन। Office of the Auditor General, Nepal · Office of the Auditor General, Nepal OAG 62nd Report, Public Service Commission para 4, printed pp. 65–66; OAG 63rd Report, Public Service Commission para 5, printed p. 68; Act s. 11, p. 4
