So there is no comparison between these two.

And 2nd thing, NAB really works at national level and it really impacts. What you think they choose a person with an ordinary state of mind to investigate and report? They will certainly choose one with extra caliber.

Both these exams have own characterstics. However, I know some guys who study for CSS and take it second time this year while they failed in aggregate in first attempted, could not pass NAB written test.

Now, the things have bit relaxed, but during army time the investigators were under immense pressure to show progress on the cases, their life was hell if any inquiries ran into the roadblocks due to delays in information. Pressure is always there.

Thirdly, even if the investigators finalize their investigations after long internal debates while convincing their bosses and the experts in the legal wings (which is not an easy task), they have to prove everything in the court in front of the judge by presenting the counter-arguments to the highly paid defence councils. Imagine the lawyer of the accused of your case is a very well known Supreme Court Advocate.

I have respect for the Army, but not the top think tank and their way of using the authority specially in cases where even civilians are involved. I have plenty of examples to shed but want to avoid because people here will believe I am some how maligning the Army which is not in a true sense.

If you are talking about their discipline of working at 0800 hrs, then you better take your words back. I am living in a vicinity where one of their court + other offices are present, so I know at what time they really start their business. Secondly it is not that wise to start before other government functionaries. Though it is good to start their office, officially, early.

Coming to your query. For me it will be quite odd procedure to call only 15% extra candidates. I am not sure as I have never seen this in my life before. Again, as some one said this before, it is up to the discretion of the competent authority of the NAB. So let us wait and see.
