UPSC CBI APP & Public Prosecutor Preparation
Prepare for UPSC’s CBI prosecution recruitments with authentic previous questions, legal analysis and a careful distinction between APP and Public Prosecutor posts.
Official UPSC paper trail
The UPSC question-paper archive lists 19 Assistant Public Prosecutor positions (Vacancy 25081201223) and 25 Public Prosecutor positions (Vacancy 25081202223) from the 2025 recruitment. These are past-cycle references—not notices of a new ongoing application.
- Look up both vacancy numbers in the official UPSC archive
- Compare question distribution and recurring areas
- Separate any common combined-test paper from role-specific eligibility
Criminal law and prosecution procedure
Give weight to definitions and elements of offences, investigation, evidence, criminal trial, court jurisdiction and constitutional protections. Do not assume the exact subject weightage without the relevant Recruitment Test notice.
Comparison with Delhi APP
Both are public prosecution careers. Employer, duties, eligibility, service conditions and test schemes must be read from their individual recruitment notices.
Preparation workflow
Start with the official question paper; tag each item by Act and skill; study the underlying provision; solve new application questions; finish with timed mixed practice.
Primary sources & further reading
Use the primary documents when a question depends on a section number, time limit, definition, amendment or recruitment condition.
Frequently asked questions
Is CBI APP the same vacancy as Delhi APP?
No. They are separate recruiting departments and vacancy numbers.
