The examination was held for filling up 140 posts across various state government departments.

Later, the case was handed over to the CBI, following a recommendation from the state government.

The commission was reorganized with the appointment of Pradip Lingfa as its chairman. The oath-taking ceremony was held at the Raj Bhavan on 21 January, 2024.
