The commission is headed by Justice (Retd.) UC Dhyani.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami stated that the commission has commendably submitted the report within a short timeframe, after conducting extensive public hearings and gathering suggestions from candidates and concerned parties, according to CMO.

The Chief Minister reaffirmed that the government is fully committed to maintaining the integrity, transparency, and credibility of recruitment examinations. He added that, going forward, every effort will be made to ensure that no irregularities occur in any recruitment process, so that candidates and their families can retain full confidence in the state's examination system.
Earlier, Dhami addressed the recent UKSSSC exam paper leak incident, assuring that his government had acted promptly to maintain fairness and transparency in the recruitment process.

"We are committed to ensuring that the youth of Uttarakhand do not face injustice," the Chief Minister stated.
Taking aim at the opposition, Dhami accused rival parties of politicising the issue.
"The opposition tried to use the issue politically by making students a shield and attempting to create unrest in the state. Those who once questioned CBI and ED investigations are now demanding a CBI inquiry in this matter to derive political mileage," he said.
