@Those who couldn’t make it
Many Good exams coming soon- SSC CGL 2014, Punjab and Maharahstra PSC and many more.
Find out the cause of defeat (low preparation of current / theory /aptitude) and rectify your studies accordingly. Failure in one exam doesn’t make you loser. Hard working person will always meet Success sooner or later.
@Those who cleared the written ACIO exam
You can download call letters from here: https://www.onlinesubmit.in/mha/
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.)

Results will be declared on 10/02/14 at 7:00 pm
it is already 8……..where is result???
And you got this info from ?
10th Feb 2014 or 2015? ;)
After the weekend..monday is generally used for finalising various formalities related to result declaration.Hopefully tomorrow will be our Judgement Day..cant wait more now :)
Bhai, don’t keep your hopes high. I called IB today, they told it will “take more time”. So it may even take a month.
What u hv asked?
asked when result will be announced
Raghav bhai didn’t they give any particular reason for this delay?
No obviously not..They were very grumpy. Like I have caused them big trouble. They told..thoda time lagega..aayega.. and hung up on me
Its damn killing man … vry minute is so painful, 15 days have past and still no sign of result…!
Is it in mmddyy format Irrational Bureau.
is there anybody who cleared this ib exam for the second time
who could not make it to the final list
which final list you are referring to??
ya i have cleared consecutive 3 times, first time i did not give interview, 2nd time IB did not select me and the 3rd time result is awaiting……why did you asked it…is any new news?
ya ur third time will be like second time,and after this no time.
no, just because on my interview day everybody was first timer
After the Final result..when will be the successful candidates called for the training?
It will take at least 4 months after results to be called for training. 750 candidates will be divided into 6 bathes, 125 students each. After 4-6 months 1st batch will be called. If youre unlucky, you will be in the last batch, which will be called after 1.5-2 years. From 2012 batch, people are still remaining to be called.
Are the results expected today?
Yes..
Mr. Rabanni are u pretty sure abt this dat results will be announcd today aur r u a fekuman like MODI
Rabbani Bhai is just hoping it will come today. Noone know when it will come. It way even take 6 months. Really bad on the part of IB to keep us waiting like dogs. For so many people this is the only option. They are playing with our careers.
It is nt fare. Thr shuld not be any partiality b/w both the years results i.e.2013 and 2014
Raghav hw much r u scoring in paper I
Mr XYZ..my expectation for result is just based on the fact that last year it came after just 1 week..it has been 16 days since interviews..in a general scenario the result should come this week until something unexpected happens and delays it..And this kind of disrespectful language is absolutely uncalled for on an educational page..plz show some manners.
Mr Rabbani u have undrstood my meaning wrongly. I meant to say that yesterday one person named AZAD DARINDA was also telling wrong dat it will come upto 7’0 pm. But it havn’t came. Dats why i was suggesting that pls don’t spread rumours
GUys, please start calling MHA helpline and start sending them emails asking about the result. If everyone asks they will release it early.
85+
Who are you bhai? Ye naya Raghav kaha se aaya? I personally dont know the score, didnt calculate.
im raghav tiwari.who are you?
Shit..that’s bad.Thanks for the info buddy..By that standard if the 1st batch is called for training after 4 months..the last batch would be called in June,2015 at the earliest.God help the 4th batch. :(
There are 6 batches. Imagine what will happen to the 6th batch. There are still many students from 2012 ACIO who have not been called.
Are the candidates put into these batches randomly?
No idea. 2012 batch recruits, please help us out with this. If your interview was late, will your batch also be late?
Sorry I meant to say 6th batch
2012 ACIO had their final result declared in Dec,’12..it has already been more than 1 year.
Its damn killing man … vry minute is so painful, 15 days have past and still no sign of result…!
Its my humble request to everyone to not spread rumours, as many of us has noble dream.(although by knowing job profile, postings and promotions).
If any candidate knows about earlier selection procedure (i.e earlier vacancies as this time 750,NO.of candidates finally got selected, and would they send SMS’s to finally selected candidates or there reg, NO. is only displayed on website etc..) then PLZ do share.
Classified I had checked last year’s Final Merit list and for a vacancy of 750 posts almost the same number of candidates were selected.
There is vast difference between saying ”the result will be announced today at 7 PM” and ”the result could be expected any day of this week”..I used the 2nd statement and it is no way a rumour..it’s just a speculation based on past data.Choose your words properly before questioning someone’s veracity.
Ok Rabbani thanks for clearing my doubt.
Classified can you share the helplie no. on which you had called?
Yes bhai bta do yaar helpline no.
Yaar 2011 mein bhi kmse kam ek mahine mein declare hua tha. Yaar itna bda kaam bhi ni hota yaar. Pta ni kya aafat hai inhe. They cant understand the growing heart beats of candidates. Jb 2012 mein ek hafte mein ho gaya tha to ab kyun ni. Last year first batch april se start hua tha shivpuri mein. Ab declare ni hua to kb hoga. Verification mein bhi ye itna time lgate hain.
Haan bhai…ghar me bada sa scene ho raha hai. Uske alawa shaadi ka bhi problem hai. Bride’s parents are asking what is my job? Ab kya bolu mein? I told I’m waiting for IB result..Hopefully I will be able to take my to-be wife along..Don’t want to trouble her much, want her to lead good life.
I called a week before on helpline no. 01124191373. But they are arrogant, hope you will get good response. Don’t mail them they will never respond you.
@kamran do you know how many gen. candidates were selected in interview.
Classified I am providing you the details here for last year.For 750 vacncies,the same number of candidates found a place in Final list.Unlike this year,where Gen candidates have got nearly half of the total seats..last year there were only 80 seats for the Gen candidates out of the 750.For these 80 vacancies..81 selections were made.Out of these 81 candidates 15 were OBC and SC candidates who qualified on Gen standards.
Thanks a lot Kamran.
Now i really don’t get any clue for this procrastination. They must act responsibly (either in field or on desk),they are playing with the hopes of 3900+ & 1.2 billion.
Last yr Dec-end me Final result aya tha aur April me training..means exactly 4 months.Agar Feb-end se pehle bhi hamara result ata hai to matlab at the earliest June me Trainings shuru ho paengi.I just hope atleast wo Feb me clear kar dein..
Jst called to the helpline no. When I asked about the result date the other person hung up the phone saying that keep on cheking the website. The whole conversation lasted for 10 seconds. I dont know why they cant understand the condition of candidates.
Atleast they should have told us a tentative week or month of result declaration.They think that we are doing nothing in our lives and all day long we would keep refreshing MHA site :(
Considering you people’s recent endeavours with the helpline..I have decided I will not call..Least interested in getting myself pissed off :p
Sahi kaha yaar…No need to listen their faltu baatein.
Recent batch started at Delhi at 2 feb. Still some selected candidates are left to be called for training. So last batch will start in MAY. Means our first batch is likely to be started in August itself. So I guess they are relaxed from there end about this. Now I have started hoping for the result in march.
They should declare the result.Waiting for the Training call wont be that difficult..atleast we will have this in the back of our mind that one day or the other ”we would be called”..but waiting for result is killing us..Hope they understand this.
Sahi kaha yaar…bs declare kr de ab.
I genuinely called IB right now.. Being a girl I think they may have provided me right info.. Sharing it with u all.. He said.. Net pe check karte rahiyega ek hafte mai aa jayega..
Thank god dusky aap ko btaya to ki ek haftemein aa jayega.
Yes fazan i hv also called MHA about this at around 2:30. They hv told that it is cmg in feb month only. It 100 percent authentic accordng to the gentleness of the call receiver
why it is taking so much time this time………..hope they declare it soon……..
“KILL ME ONCE, DONT KILL ME DAY BY DAY, YOUR SILENCE PAINS MORE THAN YOUR BEAUTY AND ANGER”.
– Dedicated to “ACIO result” from all my friends who r anticipating a positive out come from IB interview like me.
pain has become unbearable
Don’t stop calling up guys !!! Someone’s gotta make the call even if it’s night !!! I heard the office will be open 24/7 :)
most probably the results will.come on friday.
Did you talk to someone regarding this..Alpha?
Hi,
Is there any additional marks for NCC ‘B’ certificate holder in ACIO…?
Please reply Thanks.
Does anyone of you know the in-hand salary of ACIO Gr II/Exe during the Training period and the same after joining?Plz I want a rough idea guys!Thanks
During training 18-20k
After training 25k
I have heard that salary for training period is given after 2 months………..
Called the Helpline a few seconds ago..I said ”Please atleast tell me the tentative time frame in which you guys would publish the result”..He said ”Ya..next week next week” (yes..he said next week twice :p )..His voice seemed to be confident and assuring.I think we will get our result next week for sure.Some hope!
Hope they declare it soon yaar……………..ab aur intajar nahi hota……….
one of my friend said he got call from IB as he got selection..Is it possible friends??and if this is true,does it means they gonna call to selected candidates only??
no he is lying
thanks raghav bhai..i also called helpline…he said “result has not declared yet..u keep checking our website”
During training looks fine Raghav but ‘After joining salary’ looks a little less to me.It’s a Rs. 4200 Grade pay post and considering 100% DA..one must get a minimum in-hand salary of Rs. 27050/- even in ‘Z’ category city.(Z cat. cities get the lowest HRA and TA). Plus I have read that an ACIO is also liable to get a Security Allowing after joining..that should take the salary over Rs. 30000/-.
what will be total time period of training….???
4 months..2 months in Shivpuri and 2 months in Delhi.
Sorry its ‘Security Allowance’..not ‘Allowing’
U r right salary Of an ACIO-II after training is approx 30K.
Hi, I’m a serving A-II from a few years back.
to answer some of the questions :
a) salary would start by the 2nd month itself, that much time is required for the formalities, you submit your a/c no, PAN, pension a/c etc and these have to be processed by the dept
b) you get full salary during training, except HRA
c) gross salary on posting (right after training) varies b/w 30-35k p.m depending on where you are posted.
Kamran, ‘liable’ is not the word you use in that context, the correct word is eligible. brush up on english and try to do some running etc to keep fit before training, is my advice. ;)
best of luck and cheers !
is it possible to take 2 yrs study leave without pay after joining? plz give details…
2 yrs is a bit too much. of course, you can just decide not to turn up but since you are not confirmed till you complete 2 yrs of service, your job can be terminated w/o too much problem if the bosses want to ! IB is usually more lenient than other orgs but why take risk ?
I would suggest joining at your place of posting and check out the situation. most probably you will get opportunity and time to study.
take an interest in your job, keep your boss happy and you will get job satisfaction AND your boss won’t say no if you go for 4-5 months leave before important exams.
that much is usually easily available if you are appearing for UPSC Civils since the bosses themselves come from IPS and understand the lure of UPSC CS exam ! people are very supportive if you want to appear for other exams since they don’t want to hold back people who are not motivated.
let me recount an anecdote :
in one case when some of the candidates qualified for UPSC interview, a bunch of (very senior) IPS’es volunteered to help them by conducting mock interviews !
Also, is it an interesting job? I have to choose between IB and a monotonous job writing code in a software company. I’m hoping IB is a exiting and an adventurous job.
there are people who have left bank PO, state civil services (inspector grade) and scores of ex TCS/Infy/HP/other ITvity engineers. not to mention IITians, MPhils, even a couple doing their pure science PhD’s.
some like the job profile, some hated it and changed as soon as possible. my advise would be to understand what you are getting into, if you are motivated by a chance to serve the coutry chances are you will find a way to make this work. if not or if you just want a comfortable job then this is not for you.
Thanks for correcting me..and I will keep your advice about maintaining our fitness in mind. :)
Hey, fighterclass, can you give some information about the promotional chances in IB? Also, is border posting for the first 4 years inevitable? Are there any candidates from South India? During the interview they didn’t ask me if I know Hindi, so I’m assuming that they have already decided not to select me.
Please give us some info on the work profile, working hours, pay increase etc.
===hindi===
there are many candidates from south India and NE who didn’t know a word of hindi. don’t worry, you will be taught hindi during training if you don’t know it.
IB has people from all corners of the country, training is like a mini India, with almost all states represented. you will enjoy it.
===posting===
border/hard posting (naxal belt) is for 1.5-2 years, 3 years max. of which about half would be in the actual hard area and the rest at HQ or other softer posts. nowadays with the high no of A-II’s it’s usually much less than 3 yrs, think 2 at max. but then the salary is also higher for those.
don’t be afraid of it, unless you want to spend life behind a desk and nothing else. as A-II’s you will be the boss in charge of units (unless you are posted at large towns or metros) so you will have much latitude to do things your way. in most places you get your own bike/gypsy and you roam around in some of the most beautiful places in India at places where aam junta cant go. it’s an adventure if you like that kind of thing. I know of people who have changed metro postings to hard posting because they wanted the excitement.
of course nowadays many A-II’s don’t get hard posting first up, but get posted to metros and other hinterland areas(dist. HQ). but it’s better to get it over with at the start of career because you have to do a hard posting at least once (but only once) in your career.
===promotion===
much better than the poor sods who joined in 70’s and 80’s. nowadays you can expect 1st promotion in 6-7 years and 2nd to gazetted officer (DCIO) in another 7-8 for general candidates. it’s faster for SC/ST/OBC. almost all the folk joining now will make AD (asst director) and some of them will also make JDD. there is some talk of fast track promotions for top 5-10% performers but it’s still in proposal stage. if that happens higher ranks would become available too. once you get experience you can also go for deputation to other govt/semi-govt organisations. in some cases with a promotion (even 2 promotions in one case I know).
===work profile===
plz understand that I can’t go into details. we deal with security with as wide a definition as possible, from the smallest to the largest factors. some work would be exciting and some would be mundane. in my very first posting I worked on a case where anti-national elements were working with a foreign agency, it was exciting work and I loved it.
some guy wrote a job profile in another post on mrunal’s blog complaining he had no power and so on. (‘we are officers in name only’ he said)
in reality, you have all the power and no power. an A-II is not an IAS/IPS and so can’t expect people to fall on his feet. but our org has enough weight and reputation that even the highest ranked officers in your area would always grant you an appointment. after that it’s up to you to where you can take your influence. an officer is known by his behaviour what the army calls officer-like qualities, if you need an ID card to prove you are an officer then you have failed already.
personally, in my area I interact with the DC, SP on a regular basis, 2-3 times a week and on cordial terms. police, army captains, central para-military officers etc are friends and so on.
I would suggest not to have a large ego and be polite with everyone. in our job it pays to make friends.
the downsides are a bloated babucracy and things depend a lot on the bosses. both the one just above you and the one heading the regional HQ. if you are unlucky and get a bad boss he can create a bad work environment which can be mighty frustrating.
here’s a tip : in any govt job, NEVER antagonize the accounts and admin babus, they literally have your life in their hands ! :P
===working hours===
working hours are usual 10-6 at HQ offices unless you are doing ‘special’ work, which have no fixed timings (obviously) but have other perks like phone/car provided by office. in cities you can expect office vehicle to pick you up to and from work. away from HQ at border postings/interior postings you will have a lot of time, workload is very light most of the time.
===pay increase===
same as central govt. employees. (DA and 3% increment)
we just have a few more allowances. also get an extra month’s salary per year.
hope this answers some of your questions. best of luck !
I forgot to mention, you get cash rewards (usually varies from 1-10,000.) + commendation for good work done.
I didn’t expect you to give so much information in detail. Thank you so much man! :)
My parents have been forcing me to join an IT company, and that is one thing I have always wanted to avoid. So I’m hoping I get selected in IB and have some kind of an adventure in life. I just can’t take the IT cubicle job all day despite me getting almost double the salary.
There was one small thing I forgot to ask you, what are the chances of you getting a posting of your hometown after 5-6 years and do your superiors transfer you at their whims and wishes? I’m wondering if I can get to stay with my wife if she cannot shift her job. Also, like the other guy had said, you get “James Bond istyle” training after 3 years, is it true?
(this is in reply to Raghav’s post below)
transfer (and promotion) are two of IB’s weaker points which would hopefully improve in coming years. you will have to apply for transfer on compassionate grounds. also make your case to your superior but ultimate decision would be taken by IB HQ, delhi.
point 1, james bond won’t survive 5 minutes in the real world where the A-II plays his game. ;)
the subsequent training (AFAIK, haven’t completed 3 yrs yet) is more useful because due to the 3 yrs experience, trainees are better at absorbing what is taught to them. they do get to know some more advanced stuff.
to add, regarding home-posting. if you do a hard posting first up you have a better chance of home posting once your 2 yr tenure is done.
Mr. FighterClass..thank you so much for such an amazing piece of information.Cleared a lot of my doubts..boosted my confidence.Looking forward to this job with even more positivity.Praying that I get selected. Thanks once again.
Sir,in an article on preparation for ACIO II on this website,it was mentioned that ACIO II have to make their circle to gather information about extremist organisations.Is it the work that is to be done or it is on hard postings only?
@Mr. Fighterclass, I have some questions.. Would you please answer them ??
1. Do the ACIO-II people get the Canteen Stores Department facility i.e. like the army people do ??
2. Does it take a lot of hard work to keep your boss happy during the 3 yr tenure after training or can you get free time to study..??
3. What will be the total salary if someone is posted in a class-Z i.e. tier-3 city just after training according to the current provisions ??
Thanx sir for such an wonderfull insight of the job. Want to serve India by joining IB.
Thanks a lot @ fighterClass, for clearing many fallacies. I owe you a great debt of gratitude.
I want to know how much role does written and interview marks play in candidates selection, are there any other weighted criteria’s (excluding reservation), do they call randomly for interview or on some background.
Does they have fixed quota from each SIB centre and do IB perform prior verification before final results are declared.
I would be very thankful to you if share your prior selection experience.
First of all Thanks a lot fighterclass !!!!!!
you have cleared many doubt and motivated most of us to join IB. now am curiously waiting for result and to say good bye to my current IT job…:)
Thanks a lot sir for so much useful information. I have a question, what are the physical fitness requirements for the job? is the medical test just a formality or its a tough eligibility criteria for the post like army? I have some medical complications(allergy) but physically I am fit. is it going to be an issue. please answer…
the medical test is just to check basic health but I would advise all to stay fit before joining training. because in training they won’t show you any leniency whether you are physically fit or not. there have been people who have dropped out of training because they couldn’t take the rigours of physical training. if you are not fit you will need serious dedication and mental strength to see it through.
raj, shouldn’t be an issue.
I am not aware of marks break-up of written, interview etc. what I have heard is essay is given high weightage. regarding my own selection it happened smoothly. hadn’t prepared for the paper at all but I expected to clear written.
and interview went well enough so I knew I would get through. interview was very interesting, they asked me quite a few thought provoking questions and it went on for 20-25 minutes.
kamran, fazan, jeet, raj, classified and all the rest, best of luck !
Sir ur writting shows u r already a succesful officer.After reading this amazing info shared by u now i want this job more then ever.Wish u a happy and fruitful carrier
thanx a lot fighterclass..now i hav taken a decision to join ib..bs ab result aa jaye aur mera ho jaye.. :)
respected sir, you gave wonderful information.but sir i have read an article.go to this link.
http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-06-25/chennai/40185211_1_ib-officer-assistant-central-intelligence-officer-bhoopalan
now sir clear my confusion.whether your answer is right or that guy-dipak’s. he told that as an ACIO,you have no respect- frustating job. plz give an answer
respected sir, you gave wonderful information.but sir i have read an article.go to this link.
http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-06-25/chennai/40185211_1_ib-officer-assistant-central-intelligence-officer-bhoopalan
now sir clear my confusion.whether your answer is right or that guy-dipak’s. he told that as an ACIO,you have no respect- frustating job. plz give an answer
what’s the point of asking whether I’m right or the other guy ?
what do you expect me to say ? I am wrong ?? I lied ??
you know what I wrote and it’s up to you which version you want to believe.
you have the blue pill and the red pill, chose the blue pill and you lead a comfortable sheltered existence, choose the red one and you get to know just how deep the rabbit hole goes. ;)
just FYI, the policemen responsible were suspended, that was also reported.
btw, IPS officers have been murdered in open daylight and IAS officers get beaten up daily in this country (just google).
draw your conclusions about their powers from that !
sir i mean to say ki mrunal k blog pe dipak, jo ki ACIO hai.usne likha tha ki ye job pe tum civil service ki preparation nai kar sakoge,tumhari value state police se bhi kam rahegi,frustate ho jaoge. etc.ye sabhi aapne bhi padha hai.phir aapne upar jo likha ki ye job me pura satisfaction milega.aapki aur dipak ki baaton ki comparison karta hu to confused ho jata hu.so clear my confusion
@rutambhar, dude, you understood neither this dipak fellow’s post nor mine. for instance, he wrote you get no time for prep “during training”, NOT during job. if this is the state of your comprehension ability……..
secondly, I am sorry to say you sorely lack minimum decency. I am answering questions here to help would be candidates. I gain nothing from this. you can’t ‘order’ me to clear your confusion as you have done. even my boss never asks me to do something w/o a please at the end.
I am answering this one time for the sake of others who might be reading but kindly don’t bother to address me again. thank you.
===coming to the clarification===
every single job has its good and bad points. many a IAS officer would lament that he has to digest daily insults from illiterate corrupt and criminal politicians. yet many IAS officers are satisfied with their job. I’ve had IPS officers cry about how their job sucked. yet thousands sit for UPSC each year.
so which is the true version ? answer : both.
it depends on the person, whether the glass is half empty or half full.
not getting info from army, that can happen sometimes but still there are ways.
as for failing to get info from police, well that is just gross incompetence. getting police to share info is one of the easiest parts of the job, they do it for their own benefit. if someone is not able then that means, well, he is simply not approaching the job with the correct attitude.
so of course, if you are not good at the job your boss will shout at you and you will be frustrated.
lastly, I didn’t say the job is good for everyone, no job is. I clearly said some didn’t like the job and left. am I satisfied with my job ? obviously yes. are there bad points. yes to that too. but, to me the +ve’s outweigh the -ve’s. obviously it is different for dipak.
I guess I am also lucky that I got good bosses who were understanding and appreciated my attitude towards the job.
Beautifully explained sir
I would like to suggest you all, specially ias aspirant to read this book once “Bureaucrazy Gets Crazier: IAS Unmasked ” by MK KAW ….very humorous and revealing book ……. !!
sir mein backward caste se belong karta hu.mera english thik thak hai. english bolne aur samajhne ke liye mujhe kya karna chahiye? training me english me hoga ki hindi me?
training english mein hoga. english thik thak hai to koi fikr nhi.

Guys yesterday Employees of IB came to my house for verification ,I thought that it was a verification of 2013 but it turned out to be the verification of 2012 .
In 2012 i gave the interview but was not selected in the final result.
The Employees informed that i was selected from the waiting list of 2012.
So it was a gud news for me and hope to join in 6th batch of 2012.
u r so lucky yaar

So sad and so bad. :-(
then why they conduct such exam .Playing with aspirants emotions
Check on other forums……Verifications for SSC cabinet secretariat have been made already :( ………Since none came to my home, I think I’ve not cleared it…….But I’m surprised that they are doing verification with just tier -1 results in hand…………I’ll try to find the link again for that forum and post it…….It’s been a long time since I visited that random forum……Everything looked genuine there since the comments and replies were huge in number just like this forum…..
I still cant find it…..They had mentioned that there was re-exam in the western region for which reason verification started a little late….im still not able to find that link…….I hope some of u could help me googling it out as well ?
Manofsteel… I hope u r note playing with our emotions right… and if u r really selected then lots of badhaiyan
Yar he is telling that the verification was for last year..it is not about playing with our emotions.
