This is ‘very’ fashionable these days. The entire concept of securing a safe, comfortable, and simple government job before preparing for the UPSC CSE. Mostly because of UPSC’s so-called “unpredictability.”
Here are my thoughts on the subject:
This approach of purposefully doing SSC CGL before UPSC has become so widespread that CGL competition has increased faster than CSE competition. CGL’s job openings, on the other hand, have decreased dramatically in recent years.
Around 18 lakh people applied for SSC CGL 2015.
The number of vacancies in SSC CGL 2015 is estimated to be around 9 thousand.
More than 30 lakh people applied for SSC CGL 2017.
The number of vacancies in SSC CGL 2017 is estimated to be around 5,000.
The math is straightforward. Clearing SSC CGL has become as difficult as passing UPSC CSE. This exam can no longer be thought of as a companion to CSE. People have taken to the streets of Delhi to protest CGL malpractices since the exam is now much too important to be ignored.
The UPSC CSE and the SSC CGL are two distinct tests. There isn’t a single condition that they have in common. While CGL is comparable to admission tests in the banking (IBPS, RBI) and insurance sectors (LIC, GIC, etc. ), CSE shares some characteristics with State PCS exams. As a result, preparing for CGL and UPSC is equivalent to eating orange juice and chicken biriyani at the same time.
