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.)

I didn’t expect anyone to lie about such a matter.It’s shame that people take pleasure in playing with somebody’s emotions.A Request to genuine candidates — Don’t believe in such frivolour rumours.Result will definitely come in March.
See i was got a mysterious call from ib official on 29 th jan ” they ask me whether the registration slip of some other candidate come with me by mistake??? they were so careful about all those imp things on the very date of interview how could they miss such an imp thing of any candidate????”but they called me and told these kind of stuff.then i confirmed that there was nothing with me other than my originals.so i am really Worried about that incident.and waiting for results…….people are saying they have got selected finally ………………so i think i’m not lucky enough to be selected.
Don’t worry about that incident…someone must have lost his/her document and the officials must be calling all the candidates of that particular batch to check it…its no big deal.And don’t believe the rumours…the result has not been published yet…it is expected to come out in March..till then relax.
I also initially thought that.but all of my frnds approx 8 who were on the same date in the same venu and just along ith me in the interview but none of them had any kind of call from ib officials.Moreover if they had lost then they should contact to that particular candidate should not behave in this way.let’s hope for the best.
A certain someone here thinks they are so IMPORTANT………needs to go join kejriwal coz he desperately needs BS talkers…..anyway sheshadri the sender does not a no. Or vm-alert as you say but is listed as unknown no. Anyway will try calling IB tommorow.thanks!
on which date u appeared in interview?congrats a lot yaar.u r lucky enough.i am a looser.
what was the time duration of your interview?and kindly if you share ur interview experience, it will help me a lot to prepare my self in future for appearing in different such kind of jobs.
Dear Shesadri, results have not been announced yet(as mentioned several times earlier since yesterday). So keep calm and chive on.
As for Biker_350, judging by his linguistic incompetency to form meaningful sentences I find it hard believe anyone in this world would be able to talk to him for 30 mins let alone be an interviewer. So, Mr. Biker_350(possible reference to RE classic 350) what class A drugs are you hallucinating on ? (Trick question!)
Hahaha…I wish this comment had a “Mega Like” button :p
Look shesadri dont loose hope yet….i myself am not sure what all this means let me confirm with them tomorrow,i still believe that they would be declaring the result publicly first.by the way my iview was on 22nd jan and it went on for about 25-30min.
another lie, were U alone on dat day? 25-30 min. Its not civils…….
TRUE…. HE IS JUST SPREADING RUMORS…..
sahi me yar..tagda feku h ye to..
ye bacha h nadan..isko budhi do bhagwan..
Get a life!you think only civils has long interviews….?! grow up son…..!and the iview went on in chd around 22nd and 23rd.anyway like i said i am still doubtful of the message and would still like to call up and confirm( this to shesadri and the sane audience).
And buddy kejriwar s/o kejriwal? is that the only words you got……. tricked/impotency?what you got tricked into coming into this world or something(pun intended).and a mega **** to rabbani while you’re at it.
can you mention if anyone you know have also got these kind of confirmation message????
He said ‘incompetency’..not ‘impotency’ :p
Abe PAHTPHATI_350, I said abt civils bcoz it is INDIA’S most prestigious exam & U don’t tell me which interview takes how much time, at this page all R damn concern abt ACIO & U would b the 1st jackass whose interview lasted for ,30 mins(sounds like U were dilivering pizza, tana na re ACIO aaya free)
Hahahaha
friends really worried to c these comments. lot of candidates waiting for results and how they can call few alone or msg them tat they got selected? without releasing results officially. whether those people really say the truth? ,, OR to rely on phone call replies of MHA ——–“NEXT WEEK, MARCH 20, LAST WEEK OF MARCH”. if they want to call the selected ones directly they can atleast say to the calls,will they really publish RESULT or the selected ones will be called directly and others ????????????????????????????? dont waste time by checking MHA . so that we need not to sit and comments like this. OH MY GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING????? RESULTS WILL COME R NOT???
result is being published on their website for 2 years. Last year they even released a reserve list . So don’t go for speculations , it is a basic human nature
‘Abe’ and ‘akha India’ class of people joining the services?! god save this country!get your visas for Nepal….run for the hills…..TODAY!
galti se V IB join mat karna kyonki wahan tujh jayse jhute ko daura daura kar peetenge, 22 or 23 tera interview kab tha mallum nahi, diye the ki naatak kar rahe ho,? Aur apun V thujh jayse ase he baat karta hai, ye IB ka style ha re baba.
If you really got selected it is very good news.but we are not able to know the entire info clearly from you.That’s why we are worried.you should make it more firm and clear.if you really want to help us.
Need to call IB helpline tomorrow for that sheshadri…..if you can please drill this into the heads of some morons running around here.
What type of questions you were asked?and what were ur answers.plz share……..
@Biker..Hahaha.An Indian doesn’t need visa to go to Nepal. :p
Started of with
background,qualifications,change of subjects after +2 and again after graduation,why left army even though recommended,what have i been doing since,compare army and ib,then mostly defense related like why indian airforce acquisition so dependent on russia,should we move to other nations for procurement if Russian equipment not upto it,towards the end very simple questions like BRICS,house of commons/lords etc
you were selected previously in ARMY???then there is obviously a high probability to got selected here.can you tell me whether educational qualification matters or not?where are you from?
even the nepalese are careful about the morons they gamble with in their casino…..thus the need for paperwork and lots of it judging by the absence of common sense.
Anyway had enough of non sense here.let everyone know about the turn of events tommorow.
Holly molly! Army really ? Why did you leave, you stupidity might have killed killed an entire army. Just saying!
Right said. killed an entire army of dud heads.spot on!
Bhai ganda wala trip mar rahe ho aap. Kya liya hai ? Batao to sahi.
mescaline
LOL Visa for NEPAL, U get ur lunatic asylum over there pokhra is good choice.
Ever heard of something known as ‘ a figure of speech’!?
you did not mention the name of ur city
CHD
Guys i think what biker is saying maybe true cause a couple of people who gave the interview with me have confirmed that they got similar messages.
After bhaag milkha bhaag, Bhaag biker bhaag,350 k speed se bhaag.
Army me ho, kahan posted ho, mai tech. field MES me barrackpore W.B me posted hoon.
Thank you for enlightening us.now jawan go to sleep.gd nyt!
One thing is true that U have a beautiful heart. Bt in ARMY we seldom say gd nt, go to sleep. Nys
God bless U may u get selected.
Apparently All of us lack some
particular perversion which
today’s employer is seeking.
Anyways I guess that is RD 350?
As of now there’s been declarations of final result #fact!
And for the sake of intelligence, IB bhaiya stop bickering.
*no declarations ;)
Hei guise in tough time we need to keep patience.
Today I called at helpline no. I am writing as verbatim,
Sir IB ACIO grade 2 ka interview result kab tak aaye ga?
(replied), aabhi late lage gi,
(me) sir kya ye election k baad to nahi aaye ga?
(replied) ho sakta hai , ya use jada samay v lag sakta hai…
(me) sir hame SMS ke jariye ya sirf website k jariye information mile gi?
(replied) dono pe ek saath hi aye ga..
(me) sir kuch doost kah rahe hai ki unhe selection ka msg. aagya hai, kya ye sahi hai?
(replied) aabhi result nahi aaya hai, ho sakta hai documents me gadbadi hogi.
(me) thank you sir.
So friends you can even call on helpline no. to verify my statement.
As I said I come from rural background where even network coverage is poor but some how manage to get access to this website through my friend’s laptop, I would be very happy to read rational comments. Earlier comments were more useful. and please, please never give canards. We all are selected in written so show your candidness, give firm evidence for your statement.
(Ya but I feel there are two classifieds few are not my comments) anyways give genuine comments.
thanks everyone for your helpful comments…..
Thanks a lot for ur genuine effort to settle rumours
Thanks yaar.TOday i also called to ib they told me that result will out within 2 weeks expectedly.but there may be some late.all details will be availablle on mha website..That’s all.Now hope for the best.
i also called them they said results will come within 2 weeks and will certainly be uploaded on MHA website.
Good job..
I am curious to see few people writing that they have recieved message.
itna sannata kyon hai bhai…….
I thought you died Mr.Hangal. Anyways good to see you back. Try to earn enough money doing odd supporting roles or you will have to beg Big B ( or worse small b) to get yourself treated in a hospital.
Mr Rabbani, agar aap phone karo to let us know what they say.
Bro the last time I called they said around last week of March.When I asked if there were some complications with our results he said and I quote “No..it’s normal delay..don’t worry.”
Oh now U r da 2nd one,U hv made it in gr8. Wht dey had msg. U ‘COME WE WOULD BE VERY PLEASED TO OFFER YOU THIS JOB, SALARY IS ALREADY SENT TO YOUR ACC. as u hv worked hard already(hard working student).
hahaha..gud going ib..
Looks like your mom has already told u what I told her last night :)
Rabbani bhai apka objective papr mn kya score h, and essay kaisa likha tha?
I think I wrote a very good essay (by my own standards…people must have written even better essays).I must have scored around 40 in the descriptive part.I really can’t say how much I have scored in the objective part since I didn’t mark the attempted questions in the booklet..may be around 70 as I did not make many mistakes so as to get negative marking.
I won’t write anything absurd about U becoz ur earlier post are helpful…
But here U have lied there was no negative marking….
Frankly speaking IB I completely forgot that there was no negative marking in this exam.It’s been 6 months since we appeared for it and most of the exams nowadays have negative marking so I got confused.You cannot say i was ‘lying’ with an evil intention..it was a genuine ommission from my side and I regret it.I just wanted to share my expected marks with him.
It means that u r getting 70 marks and above in p1? Isn’t it?
Ya I think so…I would never be able to confirm it but I did fine!!
You can never get selected pigs just bleat, i say dis becoz u don’t even hv respect 4ur mom. Ever in future if u get job to wash toilets then pour acid on ur head to wash ur brain. Never comment on this page as ur playing with the hopes of genuine candidates. I better know how to handle U.
its 4 hard working student
Seen thousands of turds like u….Only thing you’ll ever know is to handle shit in the toilet ……You can now get back to your toilet cleaning job with the acid or whatever…….LOL….
Also your English sucks…..I doubt that you’ve even cleared written or got thru cheating eh ? Pigs don’t bleat…..They snort, grunt, squeal or oink…..It is the sheep , calves , giraffes and lambs that bleat………Permanent toilet cleaning job for you…..Yo ho ho ho ho !!!
U have really hard to match your tone( I see u poured sm where else),
I had written this because you couldn’t define ur msg. rather writing nonsense show legitimacy its not a fighting ring..
its worked hard
I don’t think I’ll get selected….so much delay :(
