The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) holds the Multi Tasking Staff (MTS) examination annually for hiring suitable candidates for different non-technical Group ‘C’ jobs in central government ministries and departments. These roles are crucial to day-to-day office work, such as physical upkeep, delivery of papers, clerical assistance, and others.
Importance of the MTS Role in Government Services
MTS jobs may appear plain, but they’re important. They are the behind-the-scenes jobs that make the bureaucratic machine work. From dispatching files to helping supervisors get through daily chores, MTS workers are the unheralded heroes of the system.
