But one can be posted in countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria too; but nothing to fear on this count as while sending one to another country on posting he is given a few choices for the needed postings and he is posted according to those choices preferably. Also you have to live in consulate area so no need to fear.

Cyphor Asst. is a little different from Asst. (General) because they have to do the task of coding and decoding of some highly confidential language in addition. Cypher has night shifts also and has to work for 6 days. A system of 2 days off and 2 days will be night shift, so no fixed Saturday or Sunday off.
