Q & A (Group Preferences, Pros & Cons of different Groups/Services)
 

Few members of this forum have approached n requested me to start a new thread about group preferences and pros & cons of different groups/services. All members can ask questions, thete can be difference of opinion but do not forget to behave properly, coz am here for helping you guys volunterily...Now a days am having few days off coz of being stuck in a strange transfer issue with almost 26 other PSPs...untill that is resolved i'll b available to answer your queries

Thanks for the initiative! How do you compare IRS and PCS both in the short term and long term?

IRS has better service structure than PCS, there are around 600 PCS officers whereas there are only 250 Customs posts, so what about rest of the 350 officers??? promotion in PCS is too slow, which is increasing leg pulling culture...so in short term as long as one gets Customs posting by good reference then PCS is better but in longer run IRS is better

Sir please make 4 lists. One solely depending upon promotions. Second solely depending on perks. Third solely depending upon ease of service (i.e. the service will have less surprises). Fourth over all and general list which also include your point of view, as you are from the field.

Also if you do not rule out the idea of the fifth one, a list based on sense of achievement/accomplishment.

I have read in the forum that PAAS has swift promotions chances second only to DMG. In such a scenario PSP follows PAAS.

Thank you.

-talking about power ONLY then PSP is best but as per my experience PSP service is enjoyable for just 7,8 years
-In terms of Promotion DMG is the fastest, then comes PAAS, next is FSP and then comes PSP..the promotion problem will come in PSP when 28th CTP of PSP will b promoted in BPS-20...Coz there are 60 PSP officers in 28th CTP, this will make promotion.ultra slow for later commons,next problem would be 36 PSPs of 37th CTP,the later batches will face serious issue coz there are limited posts of BPS-20 & above in PSP
-Interms of ease of job, i think Customs/IRS are good but they have other draw backs like lack.of nuisence value,lack of power and slow promotion
-The group in which you get everuthing i.e Power,nuisence value,officers' unity and fastest possible promotion, is DMG no boubt...

Sir thank you very much for helping us.

Can you please elaborate what you mean [I]“as per my experience PSP service is enjoyable for just 7,8 years”[/I]? Do you mean monotony that crepts in due to the same “police-chor” game? Or does it mean tough routine etc?

Can you explain the future of DMG group? The reason is that every government that comes up with local government ordinance aims at curtailing their powers [2001 ordinance a case in point]So do you think it is far-fetched when I speculate that, although currently having almost the pre-devolution powers, DMG might be subject to these ordinances again and again?

There are people who say that DMG depends upon on posting to posting. So one day you can be DCO and you get many advantages but the other day you can be a chairman of some unknown planning body/committee and don’t even get the vehicle. How much of it is true? If yes, then do you think its worth it?

Can you tell what is the career growth [holistically] in PSP vs DMG?

Lastly, Please comment on my group selection

It is ok...PSP/DMG preference is aptitude based and one cant judge his/herself aptitude untill he/she is part of the service...so best of luck
