After advertisement 1 month period is given for application submission and the scrutiny process will also take few months. As far as my information is concerned most of the SPSC members are going to complete their tenure in March-April 2013. So PCS is expected to be conducted after induction of new members. This matter may linger on upto the formation of new government as well.
