The NIS has a two-tiered rank structure, with an inspectorate cadre ranging from Level 3 to 7 and an officer’s cadre at levels 8 and above. Individuals with credentials lower than a university degree or its equivalent are placed in the inspectorate cadre, which includes roles like drivers, technicians, and cleaners.

On the other hand, those with a university degree or equivalent are placed in the officer’s cadre, starting from level 8 and above. Both cadres are crucial to the functioning of the Service, and professional tradespeople without a college degree can work within the inspectorate cadre.
