investigator post

Divisional Accountant [Offices under CAG] They will be posted in offices located at various Indian cities that
come under CAG.I heard they are normally seated in public works department of a state thereby auditing the
expenses of works/ projects carried out by that state government.Their reports are sent to CAG head office which
point out the malpractices if any.No or very less travel.

Statistical Investigator Gr.II [M/Statistics & Prog Implementation] Only those with statistics degree are
eligible for this job.

Data collection & plotting of that info into information useful for the govt. to implement schemes is the core
responsibility of this post.It may be a mix of office & field job wherein the investigator may have to visit certain
areas.Overall, a decent job for those with statistics background.Approx. 600-800 positions are created every year.

Assistant (Central Secretariat Service) These people are appointed in various ministries and are required to
prepare notes, reports etc., which are then sent to their superiors (section officer, under secretary etc.,) who then
pass it to minister or preserve it as record.It is a pure desk-only job & that too only in New Delhi.There wont be lot
of pressure.

Assistant [Ministry of Railway] The job profile of assistant in railway ministry is more clerical type but in terms
of grade it is above upper divison clerk (LDC).They get very good perks such as free & discounted railway passes
for travelling anywhere in India.It is generally said that posting will be in delhi only.It is considered as one of the
most favorite post by many.

Assistant (Ministry of External Affairs) & Assistant (Cypher) [Ministry of External Affairs] - As an assistant in
external affairs ministry, you would be required to do administration work only (typing, compiling reports, email,
calls, update about events, maintain the files etc.,) The possibility of foreign posting for few years is high as India
has its embassy/ consulate in many countries.If not, you will be posted in Delhi.

Cypher assistant will have to decipher (decode) the information that may be hidden within a file sent through the
internet. The findings could be useful for intelligence agencies.

Assistant [Intelligence Bureau] - It is not an investigative officer profile & will only have 90% computer related or
data oriented work in the intelligence bureau.Posting could be at state headquarters in IB cell if there are
vacancies or may be directly positioned in Delhi.

activities carried out by various central government organizations.The work of an assistant is to update the case
files, liason with the respective depts. & collect the required info, record keeping & performing duties as laid by the
rules.

Assistant [AFHQ] They shall be posted in Armed Forces Headquarters in Delhi.It is purely an indoor job
wherein you need to assist the section officer in imparting his duties of management, distribution & coordination of
work to staff.Since AFHQ comes under the ministry of defence, you would be entitled for benefits provided to those
in armed forces.

Assistant [Other Ministries/Departments/Organisations] - There are few other organizations under Govt. of
India such as Dept. of Personnel & Training , Parliamentary Affairs, Election Commission etc., where these
assistants would be posted.Most probably the work location shall de Delhi.

Sub Inspectors [Central Bureau of Investigation] - CBI doesnt require any introduction as it is one of the most
respected organization in India & a SI also commands an equal amount of respect.This job is similar to that of
state police but since CBI is under central govt. , they have more powers to investigate anti-corruption cases and
other conventional crimes.The job is quite challenging and should be able to work under pressure.

Sub Inspectors [National Investigation Agency (NIA)] The NIA is the agency that leads investigations in
terrorism & other national security related issues.Since security of the country is of prime importance, the job of SI
in NIA involves lot of travel, collecting evidence from sites, gather intelligence inputs regarding terrorists
etc.,During or after terrorist attacks, the work load could increase many fold which means you have to spend more

time with the case.They have offices in each state but initial posting could be mostly in delhi.

No Interview: The following posts DO NOT have interviews to get selected.Hence allotment is done completely
based on your score in exams.

Auditor [Offices under C&AG, CGDA, CGA]

C & AG- Comptroller and Auditor General of India
CGDA - Controller General of Defence Accounts

As an auditor, your primary role is to audit the expense reports of various state departments (incase of C & AG),
accounts of defence forces (incase of CGDA) & general accounts of the country (incase of CGA)

Tax Assistant [CBEC & CBDT] - CBDT - Central Board Of Direct Taxation
CBEC - Central Board of Excise and Customs

The duties of Tax assistants in both these boards are much like that of a desk officer.The TA`s are supposed to
asses, verify, modify any data related to taxes of an individual or business concern (incase of CBDT).Incase of
CBEC, similar work is done for goods & services.Along with these, they may also be engaged in regular
administrative work & providing support to their higher officers.

Of the two organizations, Tax assistant in CBEC has huge no. of vacancies (approx. 3000) in major Indian cities
where there is a port or airport also called as CX zones.
CBDT also offers no. of posts for Tax assistants.Since they have offices in all states, the possibility of getting
posted to a nearby metro city is possible.

Accountant/ Junior Accountant [Offices under CGA & others ] No. of posts is less compared to CAG.If
appointed in any ministry or other central govt. organization, job location will be in Delhi.

Accountant/ Junior Accountant [Offices under C&AG ] Many vacancies & state postings are available.

Upper Division Clerk [Central Govt. Offices/Ministries other than CSCS cadres] - The is also a pure desk
oriented job only.The duties of an UDC are to check the stated facts; point out any mistakes or incorrect statement

question under consideration and suggest a course of action, wherever possible. 99%, these division clerk posts
exist only in Delhi.

Sub-Inspector [Central Bureau of Narcotics] It shall have frequent travels to ensure non-entry of narcotic
