@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.

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.)

Kamran, dept functions on a need to know basis. I have no connection with the recruitment apparatus and have no idea. sorry about that.
Aravind, as I said above I don’t know but I think recruitment will continue. also, look out for cabinet secretariat vacancies, esp DFO which is you-know-which dept’s version of ACIO.
hello fighterclass could u plz elaborate medical test and verification process.thanx
medical, already answered last page. your joining offer will have the details how it will happen, don’t worry about it.
verification will be done after you get selected.
@Kamran, well cabsec is very opaque when it comes to these things. it will happen if it happens. leave the rest to luck. ;)
Sir, I am chain smoker, will this create some problem…. during physical checkup etc??..i do exercise including 2 km running daily …..
Any one called mha about results ??? I tried but no response
@FighterClass – Never mind..hope they publish the results soon.By the way I too appeared for the DFO exam conducted by CabSec.According to answer keys I was scoring 139/200 but nobody tried to contact me for any sort of verification.Was my marks too bad for the post of DFO?
mine was 136………..and nobody contact me too………
yaar mein kk nehi hoon……….logon ko galatfahmi hui hai………… result kal aa raha hai……………result ke liye website check karein.
tu fir suru ho gaya bhai… itna frustration achhi baat nahi hai… ak glass thandha paani piyo… aur sar ke bal khade ho jaao.. frustration nikal gayegi… yaha aakar gobar mat karo!!!
Lolz..
Hehe :p
is it true that0ib department has started verification before the declaration of final result..?my friend told me that..?plz ans
All of us are in dark about this issue.Can’t understand what is going on in IB..when we contact them they don’t even tell that whether the verifications are going on or not!!
It cant happen yaar. I think it is just a rumour.
one of my friend told me that he got call from IB on 12th feb…..May b he is lying…but it seems this is true….selected candidates are being called directly…..
khara ki kai?
already very tensed about results, without officially releasing results will they do it?
well if it has happened in the case of SSC Cabinet sec (RAW)………then it might also happen in the case of IB…..
curiously enough i received a call from IB few weeks ago i dnt remember exactly but around 27-28jan’14. first it was some lady (i guess she was receptionist or steno or..) who couldn’t understand me, and then some gentleman (he must’ve been a senior officer or smthng, the way he talked). they wanted to clarify as to when did i exactly complete my graduation. i remember i had clearly mentioned it in those AF and SSQ forms somewhere and i had submitted my degree certificate along with other documents on my interview date(15 jan at bapu dham,new delhi), which i was required to do. i clarified all this to him over the phone. nonetheless, some confusion remained so he asked me if i could go to bapu dham and resubmit my document copies at the earliest. obviously i agreed and went there the next day. i wanted to personally meet and clarify everything verbally to the concerned person/dept. but sadly enough i wasn’t allowed to enter the premises despite several requests. at the enquiry/reception window i met the most annoying, uncooperative, typical sarkari fat b*****d chap. he must be late 40s or 50s sitting in a solitary cabin. anyway….all i could do was write an application explaining whatever i could and enclosing my documents. i gave this envelope to that SOB. i dnt know what he did with that.
i didn’t know what to make of all this but i was certain result will be out soon….but. sadly enough while addressing the envelope to asst director, exam cell, in hurry, i had misspelt the word assistant as assisstant. i am afraid it would create a negative impression on him if he were to notice that. their whole process is so opaque you can never be sure.
Can u post here wht was the no by which they called U
sadly it’s going to b almost 1 month so i can’t find that in my call records….but as far as i can remember it was smthng like 011326……..
It wasn’t verification rather clarification.
Your interview would be conducted on last date, so as 7days remaining tm thy had given.
Keep hallucinating!
Listen Mr. IB, what you told him could be absolutely correct but your last line reeks of rudeness and ill-mannerism.There was no need to humiliate someone..plz try to talk politely..atleast ona public platform
Mr. Rabbani yar u mind ur own job, don’t teach mannerism
Hahaha…looks like somebody is pissed off.You were the guy that got of a piece of me last time…still keeping the grudge??LOL
And the same thing applies to you too..whatever it was…it was between me and Mr. IB…you dad no right to poke your nose here…hahaha…before saying something you should follow it yourself.. :p
Hahaha…looks like somebody is pissed off.You were the guy that got of a piece of me last time na…still keeping the grudge??LOL
And the same thing applies to you too..whatever it was…it was between me and Mr. IB…you had no right to poke your nose here…hahaha…before saying something you should follow it yourself.. :p
Rabbani we all knw dat u hv cleard written bt u don’t spread gyan that- ye public education platform h ispe galat mt likho, isme Mr. IB ne kuch galat nh likha tha, aur tm apni dikhane lag gye bich mn hi ki dis is ill mannerism and all other. Tm apne kam ki bat kiya karo faltu me dusro ko preach mat kiya kro. Samajh gye ya dubara samjhau.
Mr. XYZ..go and study yaar…itne frustration se kuch nahi hoga..hahahaha
And Mr.Abh was just sharing his experience..replying with a “Keep Hallucinating” was completely inappropriate..I have no interest in preaching but you just can’t mock somebody like that…it was totally uncalled for.
Hallucination is not a bad thing, STEVE JOBS and even great scientist used to hallucinate.
I wrote this since he had written twice.
By the way I feel @Kamran you had wasted your entire day replying to some ‘xyz’ keep going you are “really” working hard….hahaha…….
Yes…but it was fun..hahaha
so mr IB guy..you really like trolling..? where did i mention that it was verification? all i wrote was…since they’re working on it so probably result could come out soon. probably i was one amongst many whose documents were missing…so they called….nothing to do with my individual result.
but then who am i talking to?
“Your interview would be conducted on last date, so as 7days remaining tm thy had given”………???
i dnt know wht that means? intview was over on 15th itself.
anyone can tell me please, when will the final result of IB ACIO come.. as interview was held on 20th january and how it comes
I guess the result will be out by this week.. may be today..
A friend told me coz of the whole Telangana and TN mercy thing the MHA has been busy and thus the delay in results

Hello Mr. Rabbani Yar kyu bakwas kr rhe ho. Tm kaun hote ho mujhe padayi ke liye bolne wale. Dant nikal liye aur apni dikhane lag gye. Tmhe hi pdi h kya result ki itni jo har kisi ko guide kar rhe ho. Akhir tm ho kya. Bhai Job krte ho ya padhai(replyp)? Abhi tum me bachpana h use dur karo. Har comment mn ungli kr rhe ho faltu mn. Ye btao vo btao kya kya puchoge. Kam bola karo fayade ke liye bta rha hu.
Hehehe..
Mr XYZ you dont know about Kamran. He is the person who have guided, informed us about the protest against SSC. You are only a guy with no identity.
Hey Fazan..dont worry buddy…i take these people lightly. :)
Mr. Fazan blogsite se bahar nikal ke dekho duniya bhut bdi h, Rabbani bhai jaise to ek gali mn bi 1000 mil jate h. Aur ye btao kya protest kia tha SSC ke khilaf? Paper leak hua tha n re exam hoga bs.
Wow :p
Hei guys I want to quote one text, hope it helps everyone…..(NOT RELATED TO ACIO)
“THE BEST THING TO GIVE YOUR ENEMY IS FORGIVENESS; TO AN OPPONENT,TOLERENCE; TO A FRIEND, YOUR HEART;TO YOUR CHILD,A GOOD EXAMPLE;TO A FATHER, DEFERENCE; TO YOUR MOTHER, CONDUCT THAT WILL MAKE HER PROUD OF YOU; TO YOURSELF, RESPECT; TO ALL MEN, CHARITY.”
and remember ; the value of TIME, the success of PERSEVERANCE, the pleasure of WORKING, the dignity of SIMPLICITY, the worth of CHARACTER, the influence of EXAMPLE, the obligation of DUTY, the wisdom of ECONOMY, the virtue of PATIENCE, the improvement of TALENT and last but not the least the joy of ORIGINATING.
I know many will ridicule my act, but remember home is not made of just ‘Bricks & Mortar’.
On final result day we all will be good colleagues.
good message.
May be today or this week..let’s wait till Saturday…
already very tensed about results, without officially releasing results will they do it? please please please reply friends
smbody posted IB called for verification……….
already very tensed about results, without officially releasing results will they do it? please please please reply friends
Pinky..please don’t get confuse. When I gave the interview they said, those who don’t submit all require document should submit before 10 days after interview, that’s why they got called from IB. Besides those who get verification about their appointment are those students who are in waiting list last year. Hope you understand what I’ve said. Don’t worry everyone is waiting for the result.
True..
thank u so much
Taareekh pe taareekh tareekh pe taareekh nikalti ja rahi hai lekin result nahi nikal raha
Guys its officially confirmed.I called MHA..they told me that the verification process for 2013 ‘has not begun’ yet.When I asked if the same is going on for 2012 candidates he said ‘May be’.The sad part is when I asked about the result he just said ‘Aa jaega’.
Reslt ke naam pe inhe saap sungh jata hai.Hahaha
Sach me yar..ye result ke bare me bat hi nhi karna chahte hain..sharma ke phote disconnect kar dete hain.hahaha
Classified i agree with ur point.
Don’t be so egar guyz hv patience and pray

so its our duty to main the dignity and the decorum of this place. So please talk in a intellectual and useful manner, so that if some one in need reads your comment, he should find himself at better place. Else for chatting, commenting, we have other sites…so feel that difference….rest your wishes.
Exactly ….me too having same opinion by reading comments here
Exactly. Kamran, KK, IB, please take your petty fights elsewhere. I check my email everyday hoping that there is some news about the results, but all I see is you guys indulging in petty online fights over the most trivial matters. Please people, stick to the topic. Noone cares about your fights.
Raghupati ‘Raghav’ Raja RAM,
Result aajaay parso saam.
Now they are not even picking the phone :(
days r passing bt result r pending……:(
ayega ayega bhai..ek na ek din jarur ayega..hahaha…
guys..sorry I could have commented earlier but no time… after my interview, I asked an officer and a staff there… they said may take anywhere between 1 and half months to 3 months for declaration of result… anyway fingers crossed…best wishes to all
also the officer said that the final result would depend on – (score in test+score in interview) which ever is more than the other would be considered for the final ranking as the major score and would be considered for selection in the final result…..
I have updated the info as it is as said by the officer on that day… hope the above would be helpful in anyway possible… if not, please forgive me…..
@abc- The persons who were involved in verification of documents at time of interview are not officers. They were clerks working in dept. They dont know anything about recruitment process.If anyone of them was giving such information – it directly means he only wants to show himself as a officer . Only helpline no can give us authentic news about result.
