States vs Central Govt in India

The central government of India or the Bharat Sarkar is the legislative, executive and judicial authority of all union states and territories. The jobs announced by the central government are usually open merit with quota from all around India. Since anyone can apply to these vacancies, they are the most sought after jobs in India.

Each year, the central govt of India announces hundreds of thousands jobs in 100+ departments, ministries and government organizations. The placement for these vacancies can either be in Delhi, since Delhi is the capital, or at various subordinate offices spread across India. On the other hand, state governments along with union territories have their own bodies and boards for which they recruit as per their own needs.

These recruitment are mostly independent from the central government because the budget allocation and resources are specifically provided by state and union governments. India is a federal union comprising 28 states and 8 union territories, for a total of 36 entities. The states and union territories are further subdivided into districts and smaller administrative divisions.
