Question: Dear Sir/Madam, I have completed my interdidiat from comm.I have strong desire to become CBI OFFICER. Can you kindly tell me the exact procedure to accomplish my desire. Thank you
 
Answer: Recruitment to the CBI is directly through competitive exams, or through deputation from the police service or promotion from within the service. While most of the senior posts in the CBI are filled by IPS officers on deputation, or from other police and all-India services, direct recruitment is conducted according to vacancies for junior level posts of Sub-inspector, and for Assistant Public Prosecutor and Senior Public Prosecutor.

Sub-Inspectors for the CBI, the mainstay of the organisation who conduct the investigations throughout the country, are selected from within the service, or from similar ranks in the police service or other All-India services. But 25 per cent of these posts are filled directly and recruited through the Central Staff Selection Commission competitive exam held in July-August each year at various centres in the country. To be eligible, you need to be a graduate between 18-25 years, with a minimum height of 5'6" and chest 32". The written test in English covers general knowledge and topics on current affairs and is followed by an interview and medical test. Assistant Public Prosecutors are required to be law graduates with a minimum of five years' experience, while 10 years' experience is required for the post of Senior Public Prosecutor.
