I also faced the same problem despite having a family member in ministry, only because there are so many departments each has its own problems, rules, cadre woes. No single person can possibly know what goes on in 30 other ministries/cbec/cbdt/ece/cvc/cbi/etc. So I tried to put the info that I collected in one palce for helping others. I interacted with people who actually work there or who have worked there or have family member there. Thats how I tried to create a preference list for males and females. Example of excise can be taken - after cadre restructuring it will become a better department but all those gurus on various commercial sites having ads and selling books through links, dont even have this info , they are furnishing year old stats and saying excise is not good. We dont have to focus on what has been bad rather doing so on what will be good in our particular batch. Alas! But very few people are there who can gauge such things and minute details. Everyone thinks MEA is super awesome (this is 60s ka mindset foreign is no more distant just like flight ticket used to be , now everyone is flying. You dont even get proper promotions, but yes it is better than other ministries ofcourse). People dont realise that examiner and preventive are super risky posts , they always think of the riches. ( during my posting near Kandla SEZ in SBI - 3 preventive Officers were caught redhanded by CBI , now try and sleep with that money in jail , but ofcourse not everyone lands in jail. So you see there are many misconceptions about SSC posts, its not like IBPS or SBI PO that whatever bank it is work will be same. Apart from your scoring good in the exam , you also need to sit down and look for various pros and cons of each and every post.
One thing to clear is that no shoes fits all. Everyone has its own needs , requirements perceptions and misconceptions. A post should not be opted just because it has been going for high merit the reason being that most of the people are you who have opted for those despite having no clue about whats in store for them. Similarly if a post is going for low merit that does not mean it is bad, it is just that less people found them fitting in their scheme of things. Example : last year's topper Amandeep Singh chose assistant railway , it must have appealed to him somehow and nobody can comment on his judgement , he was eligible for all posts in every location you see. We dont know what was going in his mind. Similarly I came across people opting for SI CBI after being in top 100 too.
Chalo hereby sharing what could be a good preference order : ( Examiner on top because if you place it anywhere low you are not going to get it )
