Interviews will commence from January 13 to January 25, 2013. That means less time for celebration and more time for interview preparation.
What to prepare for interview?
From the 2012’s recruitment round, many Players had posted their interview experiences in the comments below the following article:
https://mrunal.org/2012/08/studyplan-acio.html/comment-page-5#comments
so just go through them to get a feel of how the interview goes. Note: every page contains 50 comments and interview experience sharing starts from comment page number 5.
Some tips (from those comments)
- 60% on your biodata. (Why do you want to join IB? Educational background, terminology, hobbies)
- 30% on current issue (mostly national and regional. + some current related to neighboring countries from IB/security/terrorism angle.)
- 10% intelligence system of India.
- If you are not fluent in English practice it, as sometimes panel member may insist that you answer a particular question in english.
- For some people it was for 5 mins and for some it went upto 20 mins.
- In the panel, one member will be observing you and taking notes.
(for more, go through the comments in the link I gave above.)

Result to aaj na kal aaega hi Mam..Expected hai 20th March aur 31st March ke bich me aa jaega.Let’s pray!
Bhai hardworking never write this type of things. So pls its a humble request that don’t spoil dis platform of study by writing dis type of senseless thing. PLZ
IB started it first …I never said anything to him….He’s the one who shot his message at me first…..When someone’s being offensive at me , I’m very quick at retaliating and especially in the online world I’m called the ” Keyboard warrior ” ……
he is working hard with keyboard….
from where u are droped??????????
giving SSB I will definitely meet U.
Ask your mom..She’ll tell you where…. :)
@munal Sir:- With due respect, i am an ardent follower of your page and would like to remain so. In the interest of this page, i request you to please block such miscreants who are creating mess over here.
Sorry, it is Mrunal Sir.
I do know my writings are hard but I hate scoundrels……….,and to deal with them you have to whip.
I will stop saying him anything if he proves his legitimacy, even earlier few people did but when their lie was detected I stopped.
I don’t even know him why I will fight I just hate nonsense.
I hate bastards who are full of themselves….whip your mom’s arse if u love whipping soo much….u wont clear SSB as well cause you are a sore loser….
This shows ur morality.
I havent used absusive words against U.
Ya but it is clear from ur writings that U r a fake one. Fool I am already a MES, a good and reputated job how u will match my calibre. Its becoz of my friend i gave IB exam as if we both get selected we can work together.
I hv deep respect 4 ur mom, and iam INDIAN if ever i will meet, U will be just using keyboard to xpress ur self. Aur mai jawan ka pakka hoon, aur aab tujhe likunga nahi, bas too ye bata too SSB kahan de raha hai?
Write fast if ur a man, i dont just leave in online world and my way of retaliation is very brutal.
Sure….Now if you are done showing off and calling others fakes and fools, I’d like to guess something and my guess is that you are also the President of India…ha ha….I said ” I hate bastards who are full of themselves” which was controlled retaliation for your usage of the word ” scoundrels ” ….But there are direct threats in some of your phrases…You can’t do shit to me even if u meet me anyways…It’s not like I’m gonna bend over and give myself to you with my pants down..Moreover, I got more important people to meet ^_^..So I’ll just pass your offer since I’m homophobic but you and your friend can hold each other hands and work together….I don’t have any issues with that and cant be bothered…..I’m rather bound by my legal limit on what words I can use and get away with in the court based on IT act,2000 and not on morality…….If I go after morality, let alone protect my country I wont even be able to protect myself…..You are a million years too early to match my reps and caliber anyways ^_^ ……You’ll keep getting my replies until I’m not bored…..Have fun :P
when results are coming?
I really hope you guys don’t get selected. You guys seem are not fit for this job. Please share your email ids with each other so that you can take your fight there. You guys are a disgrace to this forum.
i agree with you ….but trust me this IB fellow is one of those people who,even though it is none of their business, grab hold of someone’s THING while they pee!just for the sake of having an argument…Period!
I agree with Biker_350…
And people i did call the IB helpline and the fellow on the other line seemed zapped when i told him of the message.then he told me to hold on and after what seemed like an eternity he came back and told me that they do not know of any such message being sent out and said might have been the repeat of messages sent earlier but was quite clueless himself.
Mr Biker, as long as you are giving certification for character would you mind giving me some good remark.
BTW thanks Rabbani bhai, keep us informed you’re great help.
My pleasure :)
I didn’t expect that this argument will go so dirty…please guys finish this.Just let it go..forgive each other and move on.
IB we are learned enough to see who’s fake and who’s not.Stop bickering, it won’t help. None of the IB panelists are here to invigilate your practical skills.
Don’t fight through keyboards words intelligence experience, pick up the fone and keep buzzing IB walas.
Btw called them again yesterday, nothing major to inform you.Same old reply aayega jaldi aayega site pe show karega dekhte rahiye..
result may come only in the last week of march ……. another call to helpline……. anywhere between 20th to month end ….. sorry if its going to be extended…….
all the best to all the aspirants waiting eagerly
how many are hoping that the result is declared on 20th of this month?.
If it’s only about hope then I am hoping they declare the result tomorrow :D
BAS YAAR ABB TO AA JANA CHAHIYE RESULT….. ITNA WAIT TO KABHI BHI KISI RESULT K LIYE NAI KIYE JITNA ISS RESULT K LIYE HAI….. PLZ GOD GIVE THEM SOME SYMPATHY FOR ALL STUDENTS WHO R DESPERTELY WAITING ….. PLZ MHA JALDI YEH ANXIETY DUR KARO….
ALLL THE VERY BEST TO ALLLL OF U
Have anyone called MHA helpline today with regard to result?
Do any1 have any idea when fci mt result is going to be declared and why so much delay
Hi, Even i am waiting for FCI MT result.Its been so many months.Surprisingly, I havent come across many people who have taken that exam.
But do u have any information abt it.actually I have heard that it has been postponed.do u hv any news abt it
waiting and only advice you to wait and watch :)
Its funny that civil services mains results are out but IB interview results are yet to be declared.Too much bureaucratic lethargy creeping into IB ..
helpline number ” out of service ” aa raha hai
Hi Kamran bhai… 1st of all I would like to thank you for all the info you have given… I attended the ACIO interview on jan13th and hence waiting for the result too. Please can you clarify my doubts – regarding the job – is it mandatory for the person to possess a valid driving licence (2 or 4 wheeler or both) in order to join the service ? is it really important for the job in any way ? I am asking because I don’t have one as I come from a humble background and my earnings go for the upkeep of my family. So couldnot buy a 2 wheeler for learning or enroll in driving classes for 2 or 4 wheeler. will it be a negative for me or any other candidate who has such aspirations ? No one asked me anything regarding this in the interview… my friends don’t have vehicles if not they would have surely helped in any manner possible… Please can you advise regarding this ?
Possessing a driver’s licence is not compulsory for joining.But as you must have already come to know about the job profile for an ACIO..you will gradually understand that knowing how to drive a bike or a car will always come in handy if you are caught in uncomfortable situations.When you are involved in IB..you should atleast know how to ride a bike.Since you did not get the opportunity due to financial constraints I would suggest you not to worry.During training of 4-5 months..they will teach you every thing which will help you become a better officer.From combat training to driving…they would teach you every aspect desired in an ACIO.Let the result come..the mysteries will slowly begin to unravel after that.
Driving license hona jaroori nahi hai. Par hone se aapka selection ka chances jayada hoga. Job me idhar udhar ghoomna padta hai. Hamesha driver available nahi ho sakta hai.
I was asked If I drive or not(interview @patna). Aapka centre kahan tha?
I was also asked did I know how to drive or not AND do I hold a 4 wheeler driving licence…I said yes to both the questions.My interview was also in Patna.
Imma driver…..I can drive…..Vrooooooooom!!
nobody knows anythn… except for the two IB ACIOz…one gvn negative aspectz n the odr showin both the gud n bad aspectz,nobody knws a damn thing… so better wait till ur training to knw everything…
Ab to civil service ka v result aa gya.pr ye ib wale kb denge result.really tired of waiting.coming week v aaega ki nhi pta nhi.pagal kr diya ha ib walo ne dilemma me rakh kr.
Thanks for the answer Kamran Bhai :) @Kejriwar & Kamran bhai – My interview was at Chennai
My pleasure :)
hi friends m preparing for upsc in chennai. yesterday14 march. one of my staff he siad so so so bad about IB and JOB OF ACIO. he also said pls dont join in tat it is very worst and u wont get anything in tat job. after hearing all this m so upset.
He must have appeared for this exam several times ant each time he must have failed…the classic case of “grapes are sour”.
yup i thnk he must hv tried several tymz to get in IB..nw dt he exhausted all hs attempts he must hv thot to discourage odrz to get in the job..sore loser
an acio got beat up black and blue by the tamil nadu police……ha ha……..even im scared of joining acio
One man’s wine is another man’s poison. Different people have different opinion, its all about perspective.
Try to find as much as you can about IB and form your own opinion about the job. Good luck.
Exactly
Hi folks. I was wondering how many of you were asked about your driving abilities. If yes then please throw in a comment along with venue for interview.
Just wondering if its just a random question or if its important. Thanks.
Bro I was asked :)
Can ask date kya tha ?
mera 14 Jan ko tha and I yell you the guys I had there were real good :)
Good candidates or the interviewers ?
I was asked too…I told that them that I can drive everything ….They said I got the job…..
They had not asked abt driving license n it was also not in af and ssq???? instd they were interested in asking political scenario in country upcoming election n my point of view….it was a gud experience all d best to all of you….
I was the one of the last candidates in my interview batch so I had the opportunity to talk to many of the candidates who came out of the interview room.Atleast 5-6 candidates including me were asked about our driving skills.
How big was your batch and did we have interview on same date ie 16th jan ?
50 candidates…48 present..I talked to many candidates about what was going on inside and a majority of them said that they were asking about driving skills and computer proficiency(basic handling and application).
Even I was asked and I guess you too were there at patna so I think we have a fair chance?
and I tell you there was one more guy maverick of this forum who was asked the same question
Questions were amusing its fun to share light moments with interview board some questions they asked are as under-
1. you are a criminal Advocate or civil
2. Difference between common intention and criminal conspiracy
3. major difference between section 498 A IPC and Domestic Violence Act
4. How much you earn?
5. you earn more than an ACIO and in future it will increase far more then why you want to join IB?
6. Cant you serve the nation as an Advocate?
7. you did diploma in software engineering can you create software related to salaries of our department
8. your physique is good which sport do you play?
9. Other than gyming which sport?
10. Oh You play cricket,, You must not be a pace bowler?(with a cunning smile)
11. (With an Hearty Laugh) yeah i know you are a pace bowler your body says so
12. What are the unconventional ways to get out in cricket?
13. How many languages do you know?
Friends, ib acio 2 exam ke P.T me maine 73 questions confirm sahi kiye hain.Mere confermation ka adhar arihant mahasagar monthly magazine ke november 2013 ke edition ka solve paper aur net searching hai(73/100).
Friends 2nd paper (divide between India and Bharat.) par eassy likha.Mai nahi janta hun ki 2nd paper me mujhe kitne marks mile par interview ke samay eassy ka photo copy maine samne dekha.Copy ke corner par maine 34 likha hua dekha, mai nahi janta hun ki wo kya tha sr.no. ya marks tha
Mera interview simple+ grade ka raha.
Maine patna me interview diya, two and four Wheeler vachile driving qualification ke bare me mujhse vi puchha gaya.
IB helpline dwara diye gaye two weeks ki time line 4-5 dino me smapt ho jaygi lekin result ka koi pata nahi hai.
Friends ib ki ye job utni buri nahi hai.Starting teen se char sal northeast ki posting ke alaba baki sab sahi hai, 35000+ ki salary buri nahi hai.
Mai nahi janta ki mai interview me qualify ho paunga ki nahi lekin mai agar interview me qualify ho gaya to mai pakka merit me rahunga.
Friends mai ye janna chahata hun ki final result me candidates ki position unke merit ke anusar rahegi ya community ke anusar.
Lol did that poker face eastern fellow ask you any questions?
I was asked what you can offer to Ib and I answered for what I expect from bureau, communication failure between me and the mizo fellow.
No…the north-eastern member didn’t utter a single word…he kept staring.I gave him occasional smiles so that he doesn’t think I am ignoring him.He gave a faint smile back after my 4th smile..hehe..the head panelist looked happy with me from the beginning.When I entered the room he said “Aaiye Kamran sahab..baithiye”..all my nervousness went away at that very moment.And then bang bang bang..a flurry of questions based on my religious point of view…”As a muslim what do you think about homosexuality and ban on gay sex?”…”As a muslim what do you think about muzaffarnagar riots”….and this and that…but the manner in which they were putting up the questions to me I didn’t find them offensive at all.Overall it was fine :)
I wish you luck kamran bhai, you been a real help to all of us :)
Thnx Saurabh :)
On my interview date…the north-eastern member was from Nagaland…the document verification officer told me.
NE gentlemen asked me one question. If I remember it correctly he asked what was my branch in engineering. I think he asked me another one somewhere in between but I
Actually I have a pretty expressionless face myself or at least that is what people say to me.
I guess that may have been the reason why he asked me a few.
Ya he must have instantly struck a cord with u..poker face poker face bhai :p
Majority?
I said I can drive all vehicles except for the trucks and trams.
I hope I don’t get dumped for my prideful arrogant and oversmart nature :(
Yes I agree..itna zyada bhi nahi bolna chahye tha :p
anyone have any clue about the result?
results will be out surely before the end of 2014……………..it is just expexted date…. it may take 2-3 years….. lagta hai IB wale sab candidates ke liye ghar, vehicle etc sab prepare kar rahe hai… shayad IB wale soch rahe hai ki pehle yeh sab important cheeze ki prepration kar lete hai fir result jaisa faltu kaam karenge…..
