There are several others jobs in the CBI, including the Technical Advisory Units that provide expert guidance and assistance in banking, taxation, engineering and foreign trading/foreign exchange matters during enquiries and investigations, while the Directorate of Prosecution provides legal advice and conducts the prosecution in CBI cases.

Sub-Inspectors for the CBI, the mainstay of the organisation who conduct the investigations throughout the country, are selected from within the service, or from similar ranks in the police service or other All-India services. But 25 per cent of these posts are filled directly and recruited through the Central Staff Selection Commission competitive exam held in July-August each year at various centres in the country. To be eligible, you need to be a graduate between 18-25 years, with a minimum height of 5'6" and chest 32". The written test in English covers general knowledge and topics on current affairs and is followed by an interview and medical test. The other way to enter CBI is through passing the IPS exams.
