UPSSSC AGTA is the shorthand candidates use for a Group 'C' recruitment examination conducted by the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC), headquartered in Lucknow. The Commission recruits directly to posts specified by the State Government by notification, and it may also take up recruitment requests from a government authority, company or corporation that the Government owns or controls. Its own account of its history records that the body began as a Subordinate Services Selection Board created by an Ordinance in 1988, was replaced by Act No. 7 of 1988, and on 31 May 1990 was dissolved and converted into a Commission with a Chairman and a maximum of five members; the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (Amendment) Act, 1993 then defined and varied the service conditions of the Chairman and members and made the Commission a department of the Government.
