Can SSC CGL officer become IAS after promotions?

No, an officer through SSC CGL cannot become an IAS officer through promotion. They are appointed as Grade B officer and C and can reach up to the level of Grade A officer, but they cannot become an IAS officer. They work under IAS. However, in order to become an IAS officer, they need to prepare for UPSC (Pre + Mains+ Interview). Some CGL departments work profile is not much hectic and candidates appear for UPSC CSE and become Grade A officer.
