Growth Outlook
Stable โ IA&AS cadre strength is roughly 600-700 officers against a sanctioned strength of ~900; persistent under-strength means consistent selection at UPSC CSE and good initial posting exposure. Expanding public spending on flagship schemes (PM Awas, Jal Jeevan, PM GatiShakti, PLI) grows the audit universe annually. Performance audit skills increasingly valued by international SAIs and development banks for outsourced audit mandates.
