CBI Sub Inspector Cutoff and Vacancies Analysis

For those who are passionate about CBI job, having knowledge on trend of cutoff and number of seats is must. It enables them to have preparation strategy and have an idea on level of competition so that they can set the bar to be able to get into the service they always dreamed about.

I made an attempt here to throw some light on the previous data and detailed below. Have a look.

9. Gen	32	59	52	49	39	21

Note: Pls don't ask anyone about probable number of vacancies in next exam cycle as no one knows about it until it is declared. You understand it better when you know the actual process involved in deciding the same. Even the SSC don't decide the vacancies by itself. The board depends on the respective departments on the number of vacancies which is again subject to approval of the DoPT. If there is no such scrutiny, all the departments will give 1000 as vacancies so that they will have surplus employees and hence their overall workload will be less. Such misuse should be avoided. Having more number of employees is a burden to government exchequer and hence such review mechanism in place. SSC needs to coordinate with almost 20-30 departments and many internal approvals are involved in each department. As this is a complicated and time taking thing, SSC can't wait until the process is over. So, SSC goes ahead with CGL notification, which is in their hands, without publishing vacancies. They fix the number of vacancies as selection process progresses. If SSC have such data beforehand, what is the point keeping such data with them and keep replying thousands of RTI applications on number of vacancies. Finally, don't waste your time asking this question here and there as no one can give you right information, other than giving an expectation which you can even do yourself based on previous year vacancies published above. Hope you get it now !!

Also, observe the Competition Index given down below to understand how much competition is increasing every year for this particular service.

Competition Index:

We all perceive and say that competition is increasing every year for any given post. But, how much? How to quantify how much competition has increased for any given post?

For this, i prepared a new index (like Sensex, Global Happiness Index etc.) called "competition index" to know how much competition is increasing every year and i plotted that on a graph. Shared below the same. I prepared the index as per the actual data available and i made value of such index to be similar and near to a cutoff mark so that it is easier to remember.

Example: The index for the year 2016 is 524. But, we don't have any such direct final cutoff number in 2016 data. So, this index is not exactly final cutoff mark but looks similar i.e. Index ≠ Final Cutoff but Index ~ Final Cutoff

You can see that competition is likely to further increase (white dotted line). I am planning to share SSC CGL Cutoff and Vacancies analysis and the competition index for other posts in coming days. This index helps us even to estimate the expected cutoff in next exam results.
