The recruitment against vacant posts is a continuous process. Vacancies in various grades in the Ministry and its autonomous organisations are caused due to various factors like retirement, completion of deputation tenure, resignation, death, promotion of incumbents etc. The recruitment and promotion to Group A posts of the Ministry (Main Secretariat) are made through the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). The  recruitments  to  Group  B  and  C  posts  are  made  through  Staff  Selection Commission (SSC). The Ministry, on a regular basis, intimates vacancies to the Cadre Controlling Authorities concerned with a request to fill up vacant posts on priority, as per  their  Recruitment  Rules.  As  regards  autonomous/statutory  bodies  under  the Ministry, the vacancies are filled through deputation and on advertisement of posts.
