SSC CPO vs SSC CGL, Which is tougher? :
If we talk about the number of posts here, you'll always see a very high number of posts in the CGL. For example, how many are there this time? There are over 14,500 posts. If we talk about last year, there were over 17,000 posts. In 2022, we saw the maximum number of posts. So, the highest number of posts is advertised under the CGL. Now, you'll find CGL posts in various government departments and ministries. Or in constitutional bodies. Or in state bodies, you'll find these posts in state bodies, which are created by the government. If you're selected, you'll be recruited here. Meanwhile, if we're talking about CPO, the number of positions offered here is very low compared to CGL. Most of the positions you'll see here are SI positions. If you want to become an SI in Delhi, you'll need to take this exam. Your BSF posts will also be through this process. Furthermore, your CRPF posts will also be covered. For this type of post, you take the CPO exam. Now, let's discuss the level of the exam. Many candidates believe, and it's also been observed, that when you prepare for the CGL exam, you spend a lot of time preparing, but you're unable to clear the exam. Sometimes you miss it by one or two marks. But when you take the CPO exam, you crack it in one go. What's the reason behind this? I'll explain this too. The reason behind this is the selection process. When we talk about the SSC CGL, the exam is conducted in Tier 1 and Tier 2. Tier 1, as you all know, is qualifying in nature. There, you'll be given a merit-based cut-off. No matter how many marks you score, if they exceed the cut-off, you will be selected. Merit is determined by Paper 2. But if we talk about CPO, what happens in CPO? Your merit is determined by both papers: the descriptive paper and your English paper, which is not descriptive. MCQs are available. But merit is determined from Paper One and Paper Two. Selection is based on that. But the most common difference between CGL and CPO is that if you are physically fit and active, the best position for you is within CPO. But if you want a steady job and need a balance, which position is right for you? It would be a CGL position. When we talk about CGL positions, the pay level is also high.
Different positions are advertised at four, five, six, or seven pay levels, within different departments and ministries. However, if we talk about CPO positions, everyone's level is the same. Everyone will be recruited to the position of SI. Is this clear, everyone? So let's start our session today, which will revolve around this. And yes, my suggestion would be this. Look, if we talk about educational qualifications, then a graduation is required in both. So, my suggestion to my students, my candidates, and anyone watching this session is that if you're preparing for the SSC, take every exam conducted by the SSC or for which you're eligible. Yes, the age criteria are for S, and the educational qualification criteria are for S. If you've graduated, fill out the Selection Post exam as well. Fill out the SSC CGL exam as well as the CPO exam. If you've completed your 12th, fill out the Selection Post exam as well as the CHSL exam. So, my suggestion is to fill out forms for all the exams conducted by the SSC. Because you want a job. Your primary goal right now is to get a good government job. Let's start today's session by discussing who conducts both exams. The SSC conducts them. We know this. And again, the CGL is your Combined Graduate Level, within which the posts are in Groups B and C.
We've already seen this. Furthermore, the posts that are available within the CPO are all Inspectors. Delhi Police, BSF, CRPF, Reserve Forces, CISF, SSB, ITBP. So, for the post of Sub-Inspector, you can take the CPO exam. We'll continue. We've already discussed the number of posts. If we talk about eligibility, graduation is required for both. Graduation must be complete, but the age limit will vary. For CPO, the age criteria are 20 to 25, while for CGL, it varies post-wise.
ssc cgl vs. CPO eligibility:
Age criteria will vary depending on the post you're applying for. But the question, ma'am, is there any age relaxation? Yes, you are given age relaxation based on government rules. Age relaxation will be given according to government rules and regulations. Next, we'll discuss the selection process. Within CGL, there are Tier 1 and Tier 2. The Tier 1 paper is in an MCQ format, which everyone has to take. Let's talk about Tier 2. The paper here is divided into two sections: Section 1 and Section 2. Section 1 is required for everyone. It contains three papers. Section 2 is only for statistics students. And your Tier 1 exam is qualifying. You have to qualify. In CPO, Paper 1 asks MCQs. Right? And besides, Paper 2 is solely English. Only English. And what do you achieve with these two? Selection is based on merit. And again, there's a physical test. So, those kids who are okay? They clear the paper. They just have to work a little harder on the physical exam. So, if you're physically active and have gotten into the hustle and bustle, this is the CPO exam for you. And then a medical examination is conducted at the end. We'll move on. So, again, are physical and medical requirements required for CGL? No, because it's mostly a desk job. You'll see some field work here. Okay? So, today you'll see that the SIs in Delhi police stations are from these positions. Next, if you need a uniform, ma'am, you need a uniform. Right? If you need a uniform, like a police inspector's uniform, you can apply for CPO. We'll move on. Next, there are some positions you'll find in CGL as well. We've already talked about the nature of work. Here, you get a desktop job.
There's office work. For example, there are income tax officers, inspectors, audit officers, and customs officers. Within the CPO, you get a law enforcement job. You have to enforce the law. You have a responsibility here. Clear? We'll continue. Next, let's talk about salary and perks. So, within the CPO, you'll see the pay for Level 6. And within CGL, you know that different posts are decided at different pay levels. The highest is Level 7, which includes ASOs and AEOs. We'll continue. So, let's discuss the most important one: are the application forms out? Yes, the SSC CGL application form is out. You can fill out your application form by visiting the SSC website and doing an OTR. When did it start? It started on June 9th. How long will it last? It's scheduled to run until July 4th. How many posts are there this time? There are over 14,500 posts, and it's tentative. This means they may increase in the future. We'll talk about CPO. Its notification has come out, but it hasn't come out yet. It was announced on June 16th, and the SSC is diligently following the calendar this time. So, your notification will come on June 16th. So how many posts will come again? You'll get at least 2 to 3000 posts here. You'll see 2 to 3000 posts here. All right, everyone. So I hope you understand this. You all know the endpaper pattern. And beyond that, we'll move on. Next, let's see. Now what do you want to do? So, if you see a difference,I understand. Now you have to decide, and my suggestion is to fill out the application form for all the exams conducted by the SSC. The fee isn't very high. It's ₹100, and there's a discount for females. There's a discount for SCs and STs. So, fill out all the forms and secure a seat this year.
Bihar Daroga age limit :
The age limit for the general category is 20 to 37 years. It's going to be. How many years, my dear friends? For general category candidates, the age limit is 20 to 37 years. Here, we started talking about the Extremely Backward Classes (ABBC). For OBC candidates, the age limit is 20 to 40 years. That means, it's 20 to 37, but there's a three-month or three-year age relaxation. There's a three-year age relaxation. Here, let's talk about Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, or transgender people, the age limit is 20 to 42 years. You'll understand each point. It's not like I came and made a very long video and you couldn't understand it. All the things I'm explaining are taken from the official notification. But here, you can understand them better. Next, friends, let's talk about the preliminary exam. There's a preliminary exam. There is a main exam.
Bihar SI Exam Pattern :
First, let's talk about the preliminary exam. So, friends, how many questions are there in the preliminary exam, and what are the total marks? There are 100 questions, and the total marks awarded are 200. You'll get 200. This means that each question will be worth two marks. Negative marking means that if you get one question wrong, 0.2 marks will be deducted. This is where we started discussing the minimum passing score, meaning you must score 30% in the preliminary exam. Unless you score 30% , you cannot appear for the main exam. How many marks are required, friends? 30% is very important. How much? 30% is very important. Now let's talk about the total time. You will be given 2 hours, my dear friends. There will be 100 questions, worth 200 marks. Each question will be worth two marks. Did you understand the preliminary exam for the main exam? Now let's move on. Let's talk about the main exam. There are two papers in the main exam, friends. One is the first question paper, and the other is the second question paper.
Let's talk about both. Let's talk about the first paper. Friends, it contains 100 questions in General Hindi, and the total marks are 200. The time allotted for this paper is two hours. No problem. You must be understanding things. Talking about the second paper, there will be 100 questions from General Studies, friends. What are the total marks? 200, and the time limit for this paper is also 2 hours. That means 2 hours. The important thing here is that you need to study Hindi. There are 100 questions from this paper in the main exam. Both papers will be held in the same day, with a slight gap between them. Here we started talking about these papers being held in one day, with 200 questions. Both papers combined will carry 400 marks for both papers.
Bihar SI Eligibility - Physical Fitness :
Let's talk further about physical fitness. Friends, we started talking about physical fitness. In the General and OBC categories, the height requirement for males should be 165 cm each. Here we also started talking about the height requirement for females should be 155 cm, and for females of any category, the height requirement should be 155 cm. Male candidates from SC, ST, and EWS categories must have a height of 160 cm. Females must also have a height of 155 cm. I just told you. Regardless of the category, both women must have the same height. Let's talk about chest measurements, which are only for men. Chest measurements are only for men. It's not for females. So, if we talk about General and OBC, their chest measurement should be 81 cm to 86 cm. That means a 5 cm expansion is also required. Okay? 5 cm. Like I am here, I am normal, and if I want expansion, then we do it this way: the expansion should be 5 cm. Talking about SC/ST, it should be 79 to 84 cm. There should be a 5 cm expansion. Next, friends, let's talk about running.
Let's talk about men. Running for men will be a distance of 1600 meters for men. 1600 meters. And in how many minutes will these 16 minutes be covered? Friends, it won't be 16 minutes here. It will be 6 minutes 30 seconds. Friends, it will be 6 minutes and 30 seconds. How much? It will be 6 minutes and 30 seconds. 16 minutes must have been given wrong here. 16 minutes is too much. It will be 6 minutes and 30 seconds. Let us talk further after this about the high jump for males is going to be 4 feet. And long jump. High jump means high jump friends. Long jump means long jump. How many friends is it going to be? It is going to be 12 feet. Shot put, what is going to happen in shot put? It is going to happen in shot put, friends, in shot put, it is going to be a 16-pound shot and you will have to throw it 16 feet. A 16-pound shot will have to be thrown 16 feet only. Let's talk about female running next, friends. The distance will be 1000 meters, and the time allotted for women will be 6 minutes. How much, friends? 6 minutes.

Talking about the shot put, it's a 12-pound shot, and women will have to throw it 12 feet.
UPSC NDA Exam Pattern :
If we talk about the written exam, then the written exam is conducted in two parts, or it has two papers, which are on the same day. The first paper will be in Mathematics, which is normally from 10 to 12:30, then there will be a gap and then there will be GT. The syllabus in Mathematics is for classes 11th and 12th Mathematics, which is required of the child. You will download the syllabus properly. A notification comes in which the syllabus is mentioned, in which you will get all the topics of NCERT for classes 11th and 12th. The level is a little above NCERT, but the syllabus is exactly the same. There is no difference at all. The second paper is called the General Ability Test which we know as GT. It is divided into two portions. The first portion is English. The second portion has a mix of Science and GS. If we talk about Mathematics, then as I have mentioned, the syllabus of classes 11th and 12th, the English in GT is there. There is competitive English, which is not defined by any class. Competitive English means that if you give any competitive exam or government exam, then English is asked in it, which includes grammar, reading and comprehension. If we talk about science, then science is of the ninth and tenth classes, if you read the NCERT of the ninth and tenth classes.
So you will get the same questions from there here. Talking about GK, again it is a competitive GK in which History, Geography, Polity, Current Affairs, Economics etc. are asked. There is no class defined in it as to which class's books you have to read, but in Mathematics, your class is clearly defined. If you talk about the paper pattern of Mathematics, then a total of 120 questions are asked in it. 120 questions, whereas if you talk about GT, then 150 questions are asked in it, out of which 50 are from English, 50 from Science, and 50 from GK. So in this way, if we talk about how to pass in it, there are basically two cut-offs in it. One is the overall cut-off. As I explain, the Mathematics exam is of 300 marks and the JEE exam is of 600 marks, so the total paper is of 900 marks. If we talk about a cut-off, then one cut-off is complete. It will be selected out of 900 marks, which, if we talk about today's date, fluctuates between 300 to 350. There is another cut off, which we call the sectional cut off, that is, you have to pass in Mathematics separately and GT separately and overall you should clear that cut off. If I explain it in a little detail, then in Mathematics, whatever trend is going on, it keeps fluctuating a bit, but you will have to score a minimum of 25 marks, that is, you will have to score 75 out of 300. There is negative marking as well. At 25, you will have to score a minimum of 150 marks, so you will have to score 25 individually. After that, you will also have to clear an overall cut-off. This is all about its paper pattern.
UPSC NDA Eligibility :
Now let's talk about who is eligible. Any child, that is, a child from any stream, whether it is Arts or Science, from Science, Medical, Non-Medical, Commerce, any child is eligible. If a non-medical science student, that is, one who has Physics and Mathematics, he can get all three wings of the Army, Navy, Air Force, but if the child is from any stream other than non-medical, that is, Commerce, Arts or Medical, then he will get only Army seats. Normally, the seats at a time are 400, in which the Army, Navy, Air Force etc. There is a division, the maximum number of seats are in the Army, approximately around 210, both boys and girls are eligible, earlier there were only boys, now girls are also eligible for this, this is a permanent commission, that is, if you are here If you have joined then you will serve till the minimum age of 54 years and obviously for a Grade A officer, there is a little problem with the meaning of age also, when you are filling up the form, at that time your age will be approximately mentioned in the proper notification, the date will come in that notification and then it will be told to you, but if I tell you roughly, when you are filling up the form, at that time your age should be between 15 years to 18 years, the complete NDA process is of one year, when you reach the academy, by that time your age should be between 1630 to 1930, while filling the form it should be this much, on reaching the academy it will automatically come till here, a proper date will come, we will tell you that date, okay, if we talk about training, then in National Defence Academy, a child has 3 years of training, after that he has one year of separate training, total training is of 4 years, suppose if a child has opted or has got into the army, then for 3 years he will be in National Defence He will undergo training in the academy which is a tri-services training in which there will be cadets from all three - Army, Navy and Air Force, who will be trained according to their services, after that he will go for one year, as per his services, suppose if he is Army then he will undergo training in NDA for 3 years and suppose he will go to IM for one year. If it is the Air Force, then he will go to NDA for 3 years and then he will go to AFA for one year. If it is the Navy, then he will go to NDA for 3 years, and then he will go to IANA for one year. And after 4 years of training, he will be commissioned.
Only when he is commissioned will he become a Guest Officer A Grade Officer. In India, the salary is higher than this. By the way, the NDA student does not take it as a job because defence is a passion, but still, if I tell you the facts, there is no higher salary than this in any other government job, I mean, it is even higher than IAS, IPS, who are civil servants. Because it is obvious that whichever type of Grade A officer you become, it means different things. For example, if you go to the Army, then the first rank in the Army at which you will be commissioned is called Lieutenant. Many people must have heard about this. If you become a Lieutenant, then Lieutenant is this post. If you go to the Air Force, then the parallel post is Flying Officer. If you go to the Navy, then it is called a Sub Lieutenant. All three are the same; all three mean just that. The names of the posts are different but they are the same. You will keep moving ahead in your promotions and the service is a minimum of up to 54 years, the rest depends on your performance and you can also go up to 60 years. So I tried to give complete information about the National Defence Academy exam. If you want to know more about it, you can leave comments. I hope that everything is clear to you, from the syllabus to eligibility. I have tried to make everything clear to the children. Many people do not have guidance.
