Analysis Report Summary
  • 2022's 36,000+ vacancies were a one-off backlog-clearing spike, not a new baseline -- 2023 snapped back to 8,415.
  • Attendance has never topped 53% in a decade; roughly half of registrants skip Tier 1 entirely.
  • AAO (the highest-paying post) had zero vacancies for three straight years (2023-2025) before returning in 2026.
  • One post, Office Superintendent (CBDT), alone made up 46% of all 2025 vacancies.
  • Cutoffs are published as separate lists per post family -- there is no single 'the cutoff' for CGL.
