Sikkim Services Combined Recruitment Examination (SPSC)

Official exam info

Sikkim Public Service Commission's Sikkim Services (Combined Recruitment) Examination — the state's senior administrative-service exam, recruiting to the posts of Under Secretary, Deputy Superintendent of Police and Accounts Officer through one combined competitive process. Prelims has two compulsory objective papers of 200 marks each: General Studies (standard UPSC Prelims GS1 skeleton) and an Aptitude Test. Mains has a qualifying English paper, a single combined General Studies paper (300 marks, covering the full breadth of UPSC's own GS Mains I-III syllabus — culture, history, geography, polity, governance, economy, science and technology, environment, disaster management and internal security, though notably without a GS4-equivalent ethics component), and one optional subject (2 papers, 300 marks each, chosen from a 31-subject list), followed by a 100-mark interview. Unlike every other state exam on this platform, Sikkim's official syllabus carries no Sikkim-specific clause, quota, or dedicated paper anywhere — its General Studies content is entirely and faithfully served by the same UPSC Mains citation corpus used across this platform's UPSC-pattern exams.
