The Public Services Commission is the governing body responsible for overseeing the civil service recruitment process, including conducting exams. The Civil Service Exam is a specific assessment used within this process to evaluate candidates' qualifications. While the exam is a tool used by the Commission, the Commission itself handles broader responsibilities like policy and appointment decisions.
