Why Most Graduates Cannot Apply
SAI is filling these posts from candidates who appeared in SSC CGL 2025 and whose names appear in Annexure-I of the notification. Applying without being on that list will not work. If you took SSC CGL 2025, check Annexure-I carefully — this could be a direct route to a Level-6 central government job without another exam.
