As a officer, vision is more important in our country
Hello Nitish,
To become an officer in the Central Bureau of Investigation ( CBI ) is a dream of many youths in India. Two different agencies conduct examinations to fill vacancies in CBI. They are ; UPSC and SSC.
CBI Sub Inspector Eligibility Criteria : To become a CBI Officer by passing SSC CGL examination, you must the have following qualifications :
Educational Qualification -
Age Limit -
Now, if you want to talk about the power then let me tell you one thing clearly, 'The Designation and post does not make one powerful. But the zeal of the person, absolute integrity to the core and desire to serve others makes one so'. Though IPS officers are indeed the most powerful officers in the country. They head CBI, CID and all police organizations dealing with crimes of any type. All the State and Central Police Organizations are headed by IPS officers who arrest and prosecute. And so the proverb says, “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” In Hindi also it is said, “One who bears the stick, have the buffalo". ( Jiski Lathi Uski Bhains).
Sub inspector of CBI have limited powers of investigation of only those cases which are related to central government and which are economic and fraud in nature. They mostly deal with corruption cases of central government employees. Sub inspector of CBI cannot register an FIR himself. He can only do investigation when directed by his SP. He has the powers to arrest the accused in these cases.
Hope this helps!!
UPSC CSE preparation strategy along with best books for prelims as well as mains exam for sure success.
