Selection process
Selection is through a Computer-Based Examination of two hours (200 marks), with a skill or aptitude test where prescribed (the typing test applies to the IT Assistant post). Final merit is drawn from the CBT score, normalised across shifts where applicable. There is no separate interview for these Group C posts.
Why this one matters
Government digital-forensics roles usually ask for experience, which locks out new graduates. This drive does the opposite. Eighty-one Cyber Forensic posts, no experience bar, and a qualification list that explicitly names a Cyber Security master's degree alongside computer science and IT engineering degrees.
For a graduate, a Junior Scientific Assistant posting in the Delhi FSL is real hands-on exposure to seized-device examination, log and malware analysis, and evidence handling that stands up in court, the foundational skill set of a forensic analyst. It is one of the cleaner entry points into a public-sector cyber career in India right now.
The IT Assistant route, while not a forensic role, is a larger 125-post cohort with a far lower entry bar, useful for those building toward a technical government career from a non-engineering background.
