Assistant in Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) & Assistant (Cypher) in MEA - Complete Job Profile.


After Assistant in CSS, the most demanded post in Combined Graduate Level Examination is Assistant in Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). The most truthful reason for this is obviously Foreign Job Posting and other lucrative facilities like children's good education (even i would say...Best Education), accommodation etc. and a very handsome salary of more than rupees one lakh per month (perhaps up to Rs 1,25,000/-). We all know India is a vast populous country nowadays. People making hard deals to get their future be bright and fruitful. This dream of many young players can only come true by having a world class life. Not only for their present but also for their future. SSC CGL Examination is one of the main ladder of success through which a man from middle or lower class family can dream of a high class lifestyle. But it is not easy ! Yes, there are many successive personalities who took a ride on this ladder of success. So, if you are also thinking of a job post with Good Remuneration along with good lifestyle, Assistant in Ministry of External Affairs could be a great choice.

Let's see the other aspect of this Job Profile :

Foreign posting is tremendous for one who is always having a dream to work in foreign countries, foreign embassies. But what will happen if you will be posted in countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Libya too; Now, once in a while your mind is stressed a bit for a second. But don't worry, you will not be alone. There will be other fellows with same job profile as while sending one to an other country on posting he is given a few choices for the needed postings and he is posted according to those choices preferably. If one chooses any of the countries mentioned, he will be paid 50% more salary and his tenure (time elapsed in performing duty) will be counted as DOUBLE. It means, the candidate will be posted there for one and a half year which will be counted equal to three years. HAPPY Now !

Let's have a look on another Job Profile under same category, i.e. Cypher Assistant in MEA

Cypher Asst. is a little different from Asst. (General) because they have to do the task of coding and decoding of some highly confidential language in addition. Cypher has night shifts also and has to work for 6 days. A system of 2 days off and 2 days will be night shift.....so no Sat Sun like system.

Cypher Asst gets more foreign postings than general Asst but the promotional avenues are better in General Asst. In MEA, the promotional chances are very less and one can go up to the level of Under Secretary (US). He can be promoted to the next post in two ways-----i) Direct after 15-17 years ii) After 8 years or so after clearing departmental exams.
