Which is better, WBCS or SSC CGL?

If you want to work as a West Bengal state government officer, WBCS is a better option. However, if your aim is to work for the central government and have postings across India, SSC CGL is a better choice. Both exams are different in the following ways: 1. Nature of work: The WBCS is a state-level government exam in West Bengal, whereas the CGL is a central-level exam. With WBCS you can work as a group A, B, C, or D officer, and after clearing CGL, you will get a job as a group B or C officer in the central government. 2. Career scope: Except for executive and group B posts, all other posts do not have much career scope in WBCS. On the other hand, you can become a Gazetted officer through the CGL. Most group B and C posts have a comparably better career than group B, C, and D posts of the WBCS such as JSO. 3. Pay and benefits: The pay and benefits in both cases are determined by the level of posting. For example, level 10 posts in both exams have similar perks and salary scales. 4. Transfer: If your home state is West Bengal, then WBCS is a better choice due to the better chances of a home posting. This is more difficult in CGL jobs because you may be required to serve anywhere in India, depending on the vacancy and requirement.
