@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.)

sahi bole yaar…… ummed kar apna time waste karne se accha hai ki kuch aur productive kaam kar liya jaye…..jab aana hoga aa jayega…… irritate kar k rakh diye hai yeh log……. mazak bana k rakh diye hai. upsc jaise prestigious ko bhi itne din nai lagte interview k baad result dene mein. koi seroiusness nai bachi hai IB walo mein. apne hi department ki bezzati karwane k liye lage hue hai. just hopeless department………
Haa yaar besharmi ki hadh ha inki.lagta ha avi result k baare me ye log soche v nhi ha isliye to bekar bakwas krte ha phone me
Upsc se inko compare mt kro.ye log besharm ha
called them today at 5pm. they again said ki “”” result 1st week of april mein aane ki possibilty kafi jyada hai “””””‘. ho sakta hai ki isss baar sach bol rahe ho….coz mere ko last 3 days se same answer de rahe hai.
Bhai thnx muje to bht bekar answer dete ha.pray krta hu tuje sach bol rhe ho

Aur kisi ne call kiya mha helpline me?
My friend’s father works in Admistrative division in MHA. I asked them if they had any info. He said that we will be lucky if it comes in the first week of April, but he said that they will come most probably come in the last week of May, after all the polling results are declared.
As of now, the whole ministry is busy finishing up, organising and closing the files of the current govt. All the ten years files are being organised since one month and will take another month atleast. Its the same story in all the central ministries….
Thanks Neha, glad for the info.
Neha thanks for the kind information. I respect IB and am sure they will do the needful when the right time comes.
but administrative depart. is diff from recruitment depart. both has diff work to do….. i dont think this is d reason for delay in result… there is some diff reason……. agar aisa hota to fir upsc, fci ka result bhi nai aata…..in every ministry there is diff deaprtment for diff work….. never whole department from boss to peon is involved in same work. i belive result will come much before results even b4 end of 9 phases……
Dkho yaar kya hota ha? Wo log v toh kch sahi se nhi btate ha.confuse kr rakha ha humlogo ko.pta nhi kb result denge
Unke baaton se v yahi lag rha ha ki avi aur kitna late krenge unko v nhi pata
@jc your right buddy,people dnt know how depts works
I have lost all hopes with ib.its an organization with disgusting ppl in its recruitments wing.I would never advice anyone to write this pathetic in exam
Hey guys
There’s already much speculation about the results now , but one thing I have heard that most of the guys who gave the interview of IB are non willing to join . For them it is the last resort .
Can we know at least who are the serious players on this forum ?
If anybody has information how many months will ib take for joining after declaration of the results
Dear mrunal sir, please delete this conversation page” ACIO results”, First people were exchanged their views, and then they differed with one another, and then they started criticizing IB organization for delaying results.Now their madness gone to peaks, they are using cuss words and quarreling among them. I have commented only twice here, but i am used to read this page for latest discussions about ACIO-IB final results. I think with frustration people are doing like this.Please delete this page looking full of abusive language.
Sorry bud, sometimes its hard to exercise patience with these unnecessarily rude comments.
Please stop this guys..we are already in a lot of distress..plz maintain some decorum on this page..we have learnt so much about IB from this forum.Have patience.People who are truly frustrated should abstain from commenting anythng here.Hope this testing time will pass soon.
@kamraan bhai I appreciated u a lot from begining.ur comments has always helping.
Kamran bro nice to see u after so long.bro any new info? Ib to kb phone kr rhe ho
@kamraan bhai I appreciated u a lot from begining.ur comments has always been helping.im so sorry but i have problem with that @rahul only and nobody else.
this forum has always been prestigeous and ill see to it that it stays like that
Hei if few people cant’ post good and useful to candidates then just show morality by not posting abusive on this web page…
See its not possible that everyone agrees to everything one has to say on this page..differences will always prevail.All we have to do is tolerate it..that person matters nothing to you.Today was a sunday so I didnt talk to MHA but tomorrow I’ll surely do it and I will try to persuade them to tell me the exact reason for this delay.I would request them to clearly mention if the results are to be published after elections.I am fortunate that they never hang up on me..they provide to me in detail and its me who always cuts the call first.Dont think that I have a source in MHA..may be dont get irritated at hearing my voice..hehe.
Keep updating bro,,,good to see that you have been working painstakingly to get information from MHA.
please do reply if you get anything valuable today.
I have a question ,,can you please tell me if one get selected in IB 2013,,what would be one’s joining date?will they give time of one year or less than a year?
It would probably be less then a year……….Provided you are not in the absentee batch or wait-listed batch.
As ib people are given task of political intelligence gathering and there is a lot much work to do during election so do expect results only after completion of election process
They will not declare result earlier than that
Yaar I just hope we get the good news today Be fanatically positive and militantly optimistic. .
called them today at 10.25am…they said ” dekihyie result bahut jald aane wala hai ” i said sir kab tak , he said ” result 1st week of april mein aane ka kafi chance hai ” then i asked result kyo late ho raha hai he said ” i dont know but result bahut jald aane wala hai kafi chance hai 1st week of april mein aa jaye ” then i disconnected d phn. so frnds this is 4 the 5th consecutive time they have said 1st week of april … now i think by the grace of almighty they will finally declare results…. hope n pray sab accha ho.
Jc yaar u hv really been the source of motivation and inspiration for many in dis page.after kamran u hv done a tremendous job here.thnx yaar for d valuable info.tere baton se fir se hope jaag jata ha
Had a detailed chat with the MHA guy at 1:15 PM today.First I asked when will the result be published to which he said ‘We are trying to declare it in the 1st week of April.’ I said ‘Sir why is it getting delayed so much..compared to last year?’ He said that candidates should not be afraid of this delay..nothing bad for them.Delay is due to genuine reasons.’ I said ‘ But Sir this delay is too much..you must understand each candidate’s condition.’He remained silent..I thought he became angry at my repeated queries but suddenly he spoke ‘See we know how you all must be feeling but believe me result is coming out soon.’ I finished it off with a cheerful ‘Thank you so much Sir.’ Guys I think we should keep a grip on ourselves..result might be published in any of the coming days. #Hopeful Again#
Thnx kamran for the genuine concern of all guys.this time I think they r telling truth.hopeful again.you hv kept up our spirit in all these tough days
Thanks a lot Kamran..
you are doing a commendable job..
Thanks a lot kamran bhai :) feeling hopeful again ! My best wishes 2 every1 !
thanks kamran for the information…lgta h IBPS PO aur ACIO ka result sath me hi ayega….
Candidates who have appeared in the NICL AO interview I have a news for you guys.Final result for Generalist stream would be published before 15th April..results of other disciplines will also be displayed in the meantime.Automobile and Librarian stream results already declared on website.
kamran, any source for this news?
The verification office at the Kolkata interview center..chance is before 15th April.
I called too at 3 36 pm.I asked sir why is the results getting delayed. he said results are in submission stage(though I didn’t get them) and will be declared in 1st or 2nd week of April.
I called today and they said it will come in mid of next month, I asked whether is it delayed due to elections they said no. and again said wait till mid April it will definitely come. Hope this time they are correct.
If I prophesise then 8th of April looks rather good ( i have just manipulated this date by considering few assumptions and pattern, they haven’t given or said about this date.)
8th of April is a Central Govt holiday, very little chance of declaring results on a public holiday. I guess you didn’t account for that.
i just pray tum dono ki baat galat ho jaye aur result 5th april k pehle aa jaye
fci, upsc mains, ibps po, clerk sbka result aa gya…acio aur kitna wait krwayega….
Hi. Has the result FCI MT exam held on 17/11/13 been declared?
no tushar m taking abt fci grade 3 exam
Oh ok! Thanks!
How much time does it take between results and call letter??? means medical n verification procedure.SSC Ib assistant offers gradepay 4600 whereas acio 4200 despite a field job, is crucial in gross salary as at the end of the day in our society one’s status is decided either by salary or by power…. What is acio grade 2 next 5- 10 years his promotion facilities n switching to other agencies??
called todat at 10.20 am……said ” 1st ys 2nd week tak aa jayega “
good news……….IBPS result declared………..both PO and Clerk………
kamran bhaiyya atlast some trusty words …. result will surely come by 2nd week of april …100 %
but 99% for the first weekend of april….. so atlast something happening ….. they are telling in percentages not chances and assumptions now ………
know this news yourselves and enjoy………rahul bhaiyya aap bhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii maro maro call maro
Thanks Kiran for the info.
yaar ab to sach mein aa jana chyie result…..i also belive ki at max 2nd wk end hone k pehle hume good news mil jayegi…..
Aaj call krta hu kiran
