In terms of General studies Questions, the CAPF and CDS exams run almost parallel. dierences
are:
CDS
CAPF
Separate paper on maths
Maths/Aptitude included within same GS

paper
English paper contains MCQ only, no essay

writing / descriptive stu.
Essay Comprehension paper, worth 2

hours and 200 marks.
Grab the weapons (Booklist)

As such, there is no single comprehensive book for the CAPF exam. All I see is some
Jholachhaap publishers copypasting chapters from other books meant for Bank PO + add
some GK material + give last 3 years question papers = market it as SSC/CPF/GPSC
guidebook.
Such readymade books contain all-in-one GS+Aptitude material. So a newcomer thinks he
got the jackpot.
But In such books, the history, science portion, they directly give you 25-30 MCQs without
explaining any theory.
Similarly in aptitude portion, they merely list 3-4 formulas, show you 3-4 solved sums with 20
MCQs.
Many sincere but naive candidates believe that if they prepare such books, theyre going to
crack the SSC/CPF/IBPS/ State PSC exam. Sorry it doesnt work like that. Please donot
underestimate the level of competition.
so, First gather following:
1. NCERT and NIOS textbooks (even here, youve to do very limited study of specic chapters,
as explained in this article. free download links @bottom)
2. Indian Polity by M.Laxmkanth (http://www.ipkart.com/indian-polity4th/p/itmdmmsnbhqfwj3a?pid=9781259064128&ad=mrunalrugm) (religiously mugup this
book for ~10 marks in the exam.)

3. General Studies Manual (http://www.ipkart.com/search-book?
ad=mrunalrugm&wgtid=FK-AF-SB&query=general+studies+manual) (for lling up the
gaps/topics left in NCERTs + for practice of mock questions) you dont need to buy latest
edition, because static topics (history, geography, science) remain one and same in all
edition. So grab second hand/used copy for a cheaper price or borrow it from a friend. Any
publication will work: Unique, TMH, Spectrum etc.
First well see how to approach static topics (history, geography, science, EnB, economy and
polity.) then well see how to approach the current aairs (for IR and Misc.GK). Im copy pasting
the content from my article on CDS strategy because GS/GK/GA syllabus-points are running
parallel.
1: History & Culture

Update Feb-24-2014:
for History/culture portion, use the Tamilnadu (TN) State education board books. Theyre better
than NCERTs. (Free download @bottom).
end of update
Historycan be sub-classied into following:
Ancient
Harappa, Asoka etc.
Medieval
Delhi sultanate, Mughals etc.
Modern
British raj and freedom struggle.
Culture
Music, painting, dance, religion, architecture, books etc. in above 3 periods.
World history
rarely anything asked from it. So ignore world history.
In old times, UPSC used to ask trivial GK question from kings, war timelines etc. =waste of
time in preparation.
But nowadays, questions usually centered around culture or just true/false/nd correct
statement; cause-eect-reasons type questions.
I suggest you look at last 2-3 years papers by yourself (given in the appendix) and see it
yourself.
Ancient
In Ancient period, the MCQs mostly come from 2 topics:
1. Harappa
2. Jainism-Buddism (includes Asoka etc.)- Although this can be classied under culture.
Ive already uploaded the NCERTs according to topics (and not according to standards/classes),
so just download from appendix and start reading. If you already have downloaded NCERTs
from any other source, then prepare in following sequence:
*subject*, *class*,*chapter no.*, *chapter name*
1. History6_1_What, Where, How And When
2. History6_2_On The Trail Of The Earliest People
3. History6_3_From Gathering To Growing Food
4. History6_4_In The Earliest Cities
5. History6_5_What Books And Burials Tell Us
6. History6_6_Kingdoms, Kings And An Early Republic
7. History6_7_New Questions And Ideas
8. History6_8_Ashoka, The Emperor Who Gave Up War
9. History6_9_Vital Villages, Thriving Towns
10. History6_10_Traders, Kings And Pilgrims
11. History6_11_New Empires And Kingdoms
12. History6_12_Buildings, Paintings And Books
13. History12_1_Bricks Beads and Stones_Harappa
14. History12_2_King farmer towns
15. History12_3_Kinship Caste Class
16. History12_4_Thinkers, Beliefs and Buildings
After that: GS Manual and nally mock questions.
Medieval
If youre willing to take the risk (or running out of time), you can even skip this topic
(kings, wars, dynasties etc.). Because rarely 1-2 question come from medieval portion
nowadays. But do prepare culture related things from medieval period.
1. Hist7_1_Tracing Changes Through A Thousand Years
2. Hist7_2_New Kings And Kingdoms
3. Hist7_3_The Delhi Sultans
4. Hist7_4_The Mughal Empire
5. Hist7_5_Rulers And Buildings
6. Hist7_6_Towns, Traders And Craftspersons
7. Hist7_7_Tribes, Nomads And Settled Communities
8. Hist7_8_Devotional Paths To The Divine
9. Hist7_9_The Making Of Regional Cultures
10. Hist7_10_Eighteenth-Century Political Formations
11. History12_1_Foreign Travelers to India
12. History12_2_Bhakti -Su Traditions
13. History12_3_Vijayanagara-An Imperial Capital
14. History12_4_Mughal Empire and Agrarian Society
15. History12_5_Mughal Courts
After that: Read the Medieval history section in your GS Manual and nally mock questions. But
keep in mind: GS manuals contain truckload of kings and timelines in the medieval period, dont
waste time mugging them up.
Modern History
Important: NCERTs dont cover all MCQ worthy topics from within the Modern history /
freedom struggle. Therefore you must do following
Read GS manual multiple times for this section.
OR use Spectrum publications brief history of Modern India.
And then solve the Mock Questions given in the GS Manual.
here is the list of NCERT chapters:
1. History8_1_How When and Where

2. History8_2_From Trade to Territory
3. History8_3_The Company Establishes Power
4. History8_4_Ruling the Countryside
5. History8_5_Tribals Dikus and the Vision of a Golden Age
6. History8_6_1857 and After When people rebel
7. History12_1_Colonialism Ocial Archives
8. History12_2_1857 Revolt And Its Representations
9. History12_3_Colonial Cities Urbanisation, Planning And Architecture
10. History12_4_Mahatma Gandhi And The Nationalist Movement
11. History12_5_Understanding Partition
12. History12_6_Framing The Constitution
Culture
While reading above NCERTs, youll come across lot of culture related topics (in painting,
literature, dance, music, religion etc.) however for better and consolidated preparation, I
suggest you also go through the NIOS study material for Culture. (Free download links
@bottom)
2: Science
@Arts/commerce students
yeh mujse nahi hoga / science is not my cup of tea = this is loser talk. You want to pass CAF,
CDS or SSC, then science has to be prepared, whether you like it or not. Besides, NCERT
textbooks explain the science in very lucid, layman friendly manner, so science is that not
dicult, just read and revise often.
@Science/Engineer/Medical students
dont live in some overcondence that Just because Im M.Sc (Botany) so I dont need to read
these stupid class7 NCERT science textbooks. I know everything!
Because, you may be good at the technical and latest things happening in your graduation eld,
but UPSC asks from basic principles and theories that might have evaporated from your head
after you left highschool years ago. Therefore, no matter what your academic qualication is,
always start with NCERTs.
anyways, continuing onScience can be further divided into
Science subtopic
Physics
Comment
1. This is to be prepared from NCERTs, then General Studies (GS)
Manual and nally mock questions at the end of GS Manual.
2. (optional): you may also read NIOS material on Geography for
Chemistry
additional grip over the subject. Free download links @bottom.

3. Please note: in GS Manuals, they often go into very minute details,
like chemical formulas of hormones etc. dont waste that much time.
You just need basic science concepts, principles and their day-to-day
Biology
application clear.
You can ignore this if youre running out time. otherwise
Current aairs,
biotech,
nanotech,
computer IT,
space etc.
Go through www.Mrunal.org/snt (http://www.Mrunal.org/snt)

goto library, read whatever competitive magazine you get (CST,
Pratiyoigta, Chronicle, Wizard) and note down important things from
science-tech pages.

3: Geography
Geography can be further classied into
Physical
Universe, earth, atmosphere, weather, climate etc.
Indian
Topics related to India (e.g. industry, drainage etc.)
World
Again not much asked from this.
Earlier geography used to encompass Environment biodiversity (EnB) + agriculture, but now
both of them have grown up and getting more special attention from UPSC Examiners.
Again, our approach is NCERT => GS Manual => Mock questions.
(optional): you may also read NIOS material on Geography for additional grip over the
subject. Free download links @bottom.
Note: In GS manual, they sometimes go in very minor details e.g. state where particular
breed of goat/pig/cow/bualo is found. dont waste time in such details. Even for Indian
geography, you should know broad things. If you try to prepare every detail, youll be stuck
there forever.
Physical Geography
Universe

articles on economic survey.

For EnB, the foundation /base material is NIOS (free download links @bottom).
also Go through the articles posted on Mrunal.org/enb (http://www.Mrunal.org/enb)

5: Polity
In all three exams: Civil service exam, CAPF and CDS exam, polity MCQs form a signication
portion. The cost: benet ratio is quite good.
1. Indian Polity by M.Laxmikanth (click to buy from ipkart, pay on delivery)

Primary
source
(http://www.ipkart.com/indian-polity-civil-services-examinations3rd/p/itmczynvugmvdue5?pid=9780070153165&ad=mrunalrugm)
2. India Yearbook chapter number 3 and 20. (you dont need to specically buy
the latest edition for CAPF, just use India 2011, Free download link @bottom)
Peripheral
3. Depending on your time and mood, the NCERT, NIOS political science and
sociology textbooks. (again free download @bottom).
Here are some tips on how to Laxmikanths book eciently and get a good grip over the polity
within a short period of time?
Dont study the book in a linear fashion (that is chapter 1,2,3,4sequence)
Instead I suggest you read the book in following direction:
1. First you read the chapter on President, Vice President and immediately move to the chapter
on governor. Then read on Emergency provisions.
2. Read chapter on PM and cabinet, then move to CM and state council of Ministers.
3. Chapter on Parliamentary system and then directly to parliament, but after budget topic is
done pause this chapter and move to on CAG. Then come back and resume the chapter on
parliament.
4. Once parliament is nished, move to State legislative assembly.
5. Supreme Court and then High court, tribunals.

6. Attorney Gen =>Advocate General
7. UPSC =>State PSC
8. Finance Commission =>Planning Commission=>Nat.Development council
9. Now Centre State relation and Interstate relations.
10. Election Commission=> chapter on election, Anti-defection
11. All the National Commissions on Women, SC, ST,OBC, CVC, Lokpal and so on.
Once ^this is done. Move to
1. Citizenship, Fundamental rights, DPSP, duties.
2. Amendment of Constitution=> preamble
3. Jammu Kashmir => Scheduled and Tribal Areas.
4. UT, Panchayati Raj, municipalities
After ^this is done. Read whatever chapters are remaining. Ultimately
Appendix for union-state-concurrent list, table of precedence etc.
the mock MCQ questions given in Laxmikant + also in your General studies manual.
Note: the short explanations given in appendix of every chapter= should be read.
Single time reading of Laxmikanth= useless. Revise his book, minimum 3 times.
An allied topic of Polity is rights-issue for example women rights, children rights,
SC/ST/OBC/PH/Minorities and various schemes meant for that. Although not much is asked
from It and Most of that stu is already covered under my economic survey chapter summaries
:Mrunal.org/economy (http://www.Mrunal.org/economy) and Mrunal.org/polity
(http://www.Mrunal.org/polity)
6: Economy
In 2012s exam, 6 questions came from Economy. Mostly based on current aairs and economic
survey.
but Dont waste your time in mugging up stupid numbers (like IIP in xyz month, how much
sharemarket went up or down etc.).To prepare Economy use following resources
1. NCERT class 11 and 12. (free download link @bottom.) Class 12 macroeconomics=good, but
class-12 microeconomics=ignore.
2. NIOS material for economy (free download link @bottom)
3. Mrunal.org/economy (http://www.Mrunal.org/economy) (most of the economic survey
related summaries given in it)
4. Finally GS Manual Mock questions for practice.
You dont need to specically buy Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh
(http://www.ipkart.com/indian-economy-civil-services-examinations5th/p/itmdfgb8bvemvqvw?pid=9781259064289&ad=mrunalrugm) for CAPF exam, but if you
have it (or can borrow from a friend) then do read it.
7: Yearbook
yearbook means government schemes, policies, institutes etc. MCQs. Most of them already
covered under my Economic survey articles hence no need to purchase India 2013/Yearbook.
7: International relations/events/diplomacy
Just like CDS exam, the IR questions are also asked in CAPF exam. 2012s paper contains 6 MCQs
from this topic. So, what type of details should be prepared?
1. Various international summits,

their locations, themes
2. Agreements and dispute between
countries for some border, island
etc.
3. Joint military exercises (although I
count them under Defense
topic.)
Goto library, read whatever competitive magazine

you get (CST, Pratiyoigta, Chronicle, Wizard) and note
down important things from diary of international
events + Person in news.
4. Election of President / PM and

which party does he belong to.
(Although I count them under
Misc.GK=>Person in New (PIN)).
5. Basic things about international
organizations such as UN,
UNESCO, WTO, ASEAN, NATO etc.
youll nd them covered under your GS Manual + in

sociology/political science related NCERTs
8: Defense
The questions about various missiles, DRDO technology, joint-military exercises with other
countries.
A lot of topics that happened from 2012 upto March 2013, are already compiled in the
following article
http://mrunal.org/2013/03/defense-current-aairs-compilation-2012-13-missiles-joint-exercisesoperations-organizations.html (http://mrunal.org/2013/03/defense-current-aairs-compilation2012-13-missiles-joint-exercises-operations-organizations.html)
beyond that, again Goto library, read whatever competitive magazine you get (CST,
Pratiyoigta, Chronicle, Wizard) and note down important things from diary of international
events + Person in news.
for basics about army, navy, airforce: organization, recruitment, training etc. read Chapter 9
Defense From India Yearbook. (You dont need to specically buy India 2013, just refer the
India 2011 free PDF given at bottom of this article. Because that chapter remains almost one
and same in all editions of India yearbook.)
9: Misc GK
It involve sports, awards, books-authors, persons in news and all other stupid innite trivial
database.
Ive published compilation from 2012 to March 2013 click me (http://mrunal.org/2013/02/miscgk-persons-in-news-2012-13-sports-books-awards-for-ssc-cgl-sbi-po-upsc-csat.html) after that,
goto library, read whatever competitive magazine you get (CST, Pratiyoigta, Chronicle, Wizard)
and note down important names/details. Following areas to concentrate

1. Within sports: lawn tennis
2. Within PIN: international personas (PM, President, chiefs of various organization etc.)
3. Books: award-winners or someone who recently died.
This concludes GS/GK/GA portion. What about aptitude?
Maths/Aptitude for CAPF exam

In 2012s exam the breakup was like following
Maths/Quantitative aptitude
Data interpretation
Reasoning
13
Total
20
just some basic stu, if youve already given SSC / Bank exam sincerely then this portion should
not pose much challenge. anyways, for those whore new to this game, what to do?
CAPF: Maths
Divisibility,
Number
theory
remainders
my article explaining the concept of HCF, LCM click me

Once this is done, practice maximum questions from your quantitative aptitude book (RS
Agarwal, Sarvesh Kumar, Rajesh Verma, M.Tyra) and or previous IBPS/Bank papers.
Maintain a diary of mistakes, so whatever shortcuts you discover or whatever mistakes you
make while practicing sums, note them in this diary. and refer to this diary in night before
exam.
Also depending on time and mood; prepare permutation, combination, probability,
arithmetic progression. (theyre not priority topics).
CAPF Maths: ignore these topics

following are asked in CDS exam but not in CAPF exam (or atleast I didnt see in recent years!) so
ignore them
1. trigonometry
2. Geometry theory except the area, volume, perimeter (AVP).
3. coordinate geometry
4. quadratic equations
5. logarithms
CAPF: Data Interpretation

usually some bar/pie chart that doesnt involve any lengthy calculation (unlike the IBPS/CAT
exam)
My suggestion= just solve previous SSC CGL papers Data interpretation sets. you can get
papers from Internet, or if youve some buddy preparing for CGL, hell have papersets of
Kiran Prakashan / Arihant etc.
CAPF reasoning
the Recommended Book is as usual: RS Aggarwals Modern Approach to verbal and non-verbal
reasoning (http://www.ipkart.com/modern-approach-verbal-non-verbal-reasoningrevised/p/itmdytg8ghhmrq75?pid=9788121905510&ad=mrunalrugm). Then the question is,
how to prepare reasoning in systematic manner in the given time? Do it in following manner:
#1: Chart based

This includes: Direction sense test, Sitting arrangement (rectangle, circular, building, lecture
schedules etc.) and blood relations.
I club them together because in all of them youve to make rough diagram / chart / table to
solve it.
Here is the order in which they should be prepared:
Sr.No
Topic
RS Aggarwal
Chapter No.
1.
Direction Sense Test.
2.
Sitting arrangement: circular
3.
Sitting arrangement: rectangle
4.
Sitting arrangement: table based e.g. lecture schedules, job-carcloth color, building-car-newspaper etc.
5.
Blood relations
5,6
#2: coding n series

Sr.No
Topic
RS Aggarwal Chapter No.
1.
Coding-decoding
2.
Alpha-numeric sequence puzzle
11
#3 Analogy, odd man

Sr.No
Topic
RS Aggarwal Chapter No.
1.
Analogy
2.
Oddmen out
3 (chapter title is Classication)
Analogy and odd men can be of two types:

1. Word based.
2. Number based.
If it is word based, you dont need pen and paper, you can solve it in your head and proceed.
If it is number based, then depending on your prociency (and luck) it may be very easy
question for example
1. Find odd man: 13,17,21,23. (ans. 21 because it is not a prime number). So this is quick and
easy.
But at times it can be dicult and may require lot of trial and error for example
2. 182::?::210::380. Find ?.
^in this case, you may or may not be able to see the pattern immediately. It may take you ve
seconds, it may take 5 minutes. So dont sit on just one question. Move to next question. You
dont have to tick all answers to get selected.
syllogism
Syllogism= All cats are dogs, statement and conclusion. Usually a set of 3-5 questions. First
Understand the UP-UN method explained here click me (http://mrunal.org/2013/01/reasoningsyllogism-all-cats-dogs-approach-shortcut-technique-explained-ibps-ssc-csat-cat.html)
Then solve all the questions given in RS Agarwals book Section II, Chapter 1 : Logic.
Assumption reasoning
RS Agarwals book Section II, Chapter 3 :Statement assumptions.
From some bankPO buddy, you may borrow a book called Analytical reasoning by MK
Pandey and refer to his theory as well.
Once above chapters are nished done, then go through the peripheral topics from RS
Agarwals book: depending on your time and mood.
This concludes aptitude preparation.
Paper II (Essay and Comprehension)

Part-A Essay questions which are to be answered in long narrative form either in Hindi or
English totaling 80 Marks. The indicative topics are modern Indianhistory especially of the
freedom struggle, geography, polity and economy, knowledge of security and human rights
issues, and analytical ability.
Part-B Comprehension, prcis writing, other communications/language skills to be
attempted in English only (Marks 120) The topics are Comprehensionpassages, prcis writing,
developing counter arguments, simple grammar and other aspects of language testing.
It is worth 2 hours and 200 marks. The question paper contains
1. Long Essay (four essays are given; youve to write only one of them in 800 words.)
2. Short Essay ( two topics are given, youve to pick one and write 250 words)
3. Reading comprehension (a paragraph is given and youve to read and write answers based
on that paragraph)
4. Prcis (a long paragraph is given, youve to write short version of it.)
5. English grammar. (Fill in the blanks etc)
Just go through the old papers, and solve them (yes you should actually write the answers in
blank papers at home, for practice).
No separate preparation is necessary. But still if youre very uncomfortable with English, you can
refer to AP Bhardwajs book. (http://www.ipkart.com/compulsory-english-civil-judicial-services2nd/p/itmdfj4whrps59xq?pid=9781259064081&ad=mrunalrugm)
How to prepare the Essay?

Paper 2 is worth 200 marks and inside it, the Essay is worth 80 marks (thats 40%). Therefore,
You must prepare for Essay exhaustively, to ensure success in the CPF exam.
Fundamental principles remain same like UPSC Essay: spend the rst few minutes on
brainstorming the idea. Then rank those ideas, start writing essay: introduction >> body (+/pros, cons) >> conclusion.
For more elaboration, read the earlier article on Essay writing Click Me
(http://mrunal.org/2011/09/essay-tip-for-newcomers-what-to-write.html)
To write a decent essay, what you need is decent fodder points.
Essay can be on variety of topics, so ideally you need to keep reading newspapers,
magazines, and some good books from library on regular basis.
After some months, you have good fodder points on almost every topic.
Ive providing two things (in the appendix)
Topicwise Huge list of essays, from previous UPSC, LIC etc exams. So you can practice them
or atleast brainstorm for ideas about how to write them @home.
IGNOU India democracy and Development zip le. This PDF set contains necessary fodder
points to approach most of the social/democracy/Development etc. topics related essays.
there is no dearth of readymade essay books in the market, but that type of reghting/desi
jugaad, I dont nd it very helpful because such books are either outdated (only reprinted,
not updated after 90s), and or dont cover all the necessary topics. But still, if you want to
refer to any books, you may use Spectrum Book of Essays (http://www.ipkart.com/a-bookof-essays/p/itmdg37yhhyss32g?pid=9788179304761&ad=mrunalrugm)
Hindi Medium Aspirants of CPF Exam

Hindi version of General Studies Manuals use very Shuddha (Pure) Hindi for example
instead of Audit they use the word Lekha parikshan. Similar problems in Economy and
Polity portion.
Thus it becomes very cumbersome to read such book and youve to tick only MCQs for the
CPF exam.
So I would suggest you buy English version of GS Manual instead of Hindi version. Same
reason, I suggest you download the English version of NCERTs instead of Hindi version.
In paper 2, you can only write the rst essay in Hindi, and rest of the questions have to be
answered in English. So, If youre going to write the Essay in Hindi, then buy Hindi version of
that Spectrum Essay book.
by the way Laxmikanths book is available in Hindi under title Bharat ki Rajya Vyavastha
Conclusion / summary / nal tips
Revision is essential. Whatever you read in NCERT, NIOS or Laxmikanth, keep a target of
revising it multiple times. Otherwise, you wont be able to recall the exact details in the exam
and UPSCs MCQs are very tricky.
If youve applied for this exam, then focus on your studies only. Dont underestimate the
level of competition. Dont waste time in day-dreaming, facebook, orkut, random net
surng, chatting, TV, cricket, weddings of distant relatives etc. Time-pass activities will
always be there, but once you cross the age-limit, there is no restart button. (This rule
applies to all competitive exams.)
When you get bored reading General studies, then solve maths / English question. when you
get bored with maths/english, resume your General studies preparation.
Dont go in the exam-hall with a cuto mindset. Dont push luck in negative marking. Dont
tick answers based on guesswork.

Hi Mrunal Sir, this years notication for this Exam was posted on 12th
this month. I am diligently following your tips and study schedule
mentioned in your post and its really great that people who have cleared
the exam are also thanking you for the input and support you provided,
it boosts us.
I just had one doubt though, if this post requires any update?
Please reply.
Manish Sharma
Sir, as per the current format of CAPF exam for 80 marks 4 essays, 2
arguments of 20 marks each of 300 words, and report writing of 2 x 10
marks of 200 words will be asked to write, each of 300 words. So, can
give some idea about how to handle the essay section as per the current
format and what can be the possible current topics for the 2016 exam. I
would urge for your guidance.

@abhijeet.. Generally cut o varies every year and for di. Category.
However scoring 110+ in paper 1 and 70+ in paper 2 is on safer side..
Interview marks for capf awarded by upsc varies from 70-120.. So if v
happen to score marks near to cuto, we need to perform very well in d
interview to make it to d nal list.

I wanted to share about the work of assistant commandant of CPF.
Baring CISF all others ( CRPF,BSF,ITBP,AR..) All are combat jobs.
Postings will be in LWE/ J&K/N.E + BORDER AREAS).
In these posts there will be no civilian life and you can keep only your
family in your job posting place but many 80% to 90% will not keep bcoz
of the risk. For name sake it is a Group- A post but completely dierent
from other Group A posts of Central Govt.There is a lot of stagnation in
these forces.. According to MHA an AC should become a DC in 6 yes
including training but at present situation AC to DC it takes around 10
yearsand so on. Hardly one who joins these forces get 2 promotions.
Training will be very hectic and strenuous (so for ppl who want to
prepare for CSE cant do it any cost).
There is also a bond of 8.5 lakhs approx one who wants to leave the
force after training.
So nally I want to inform that unless one doesnt have a craze for
combat jobs dont join these forces excepting CISF.
but in CISF Also there is stagnancy.
The higher personal of these forces work in a very unorganized way

baring IPS ocers who come under deputation.
And the posts above DIG are reserved only for IPS.
