  1. Hi,

    I wanna apply for ACIO grade2. But I just wanna know some information about promotions in IB. Like how many years will it take to get promoted to grade 1 or so (I mean to the next higher level). I also heard that there is a bond for 3 years.Is this true.

    If there is a bond is it possible to take UPSC xam for Deputy Central Intelligence Officer while in ACIO 2.(I mean to shuffle within IB).

    Please do provide information for my queries. I am very interested in working for IB.

    2. Dear Rakesh,

      If You have got shortlisted throught the Interview, then IB will have a verification check which You will come to know at the time when they visit your house/Society/College. If you clear that, then you will be getting a Joining Letter and rest of the things will be made clear after that. That means if you are going for training immediately or first you have to join at your post. Meanwhile this complete process takes a bit of time. So this is the time for you to wait and watch.

    4. hi, Is there any direct entrance exam for DCIO or any gazatted post in IB? Cause this promotion from ACIO-1 to ACIO-2 takes so much of time.Any better placement opportunity in this regard? Please highlight.
      Thanks.

      Delete
  3. Hello, i wanted to know if the promotion will be only upto some.certain level or as the experience increases we could be promoted to the gazzeted level also?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hello Anuj, The ACIO II is promoted to ACIO I and then he becomes a DCIO, DCIO is a Gazzetted officer. It takes 8-14yrs of time to get promoted to that level depending upon the performance. After that a DCIO is promoted to AD(Addittional Director Level) which is an esteemed post. Many people retire at this stage and a few cross this stage to become a JDD(Joint Deputy Director).

      I hope you are now clear with the heirarchy.

      If their is any other doubt, feel free to ask in the comment section.

    2. hi there, Can u please detail about the hierarchy u had written AD (ADDITIONAL DIRECTOR)Is it correct?? or Its ASSISTANT DIRECTOR???

  5. Pushpak,
    What is the scheme or process of increment in salary and what are the incentives an ACIO gets from government?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Increment is there as per govt norms as it is Central government Job and not the State govt one. Everyyear you will be getting hike depending upon the inflation plus there will be hike in your salary at the time of promotions. Incentives are also there in IB provided you do something extra-ordinary. G

  8. Muddassir Hasan Choudhary: There are powers of ACIO2 but not to that extent which you will be enjoying 10 years down the line. Once you become a DCIO(ACIO2 -- ACIO1 -- DCIO--AD--JDD - Normal IB Career Heirarchy If you dont get deputed to some other department like SPG or CRPF or some other police force), You will excercise a huge power. Also DCIO is a gazzetted officer.
    2) Transfers: Initially you do not have any say but after you get a transfer for risky areas like J&K or Assam/Sikkim, you get transfer for your hometown or the place you want.
    3) Salary: Salary is decent one -- Non Metros also you will get 22-25K in-hand. Metros it may reach till 30K
    4) Kind of Job: It is a Intelligence Job. Depends which department do you get. Millitants/Terrorist or Political one, there r many others.

    I hope all your queries have got resolved. In case of any further doubts, feel free to post your questions. I deeply regret for your inconvenience because of my delay. It wont be there in future and you will be getting continuous replies and updates.

    Have fun Folks

    4. Dear Balasubrammanian, First of All, Congratulations to you as your hardship has payed off finally. Secondly the answer of your question: There is no specific time frame at a particular designation, depends upon the marks scored by you in the training, the Marks scored by you in the exam which you have already cleared, your Day-to-day performance and your caste also. there are people who get promoted to ACIO I with-in 3-5years, on the other hand there are people who have cleared that step in more than 10-12 years too. It is a government Job. Hikes in salary will be there annually on the basis of Inflation and all but Promotions are very uncertain. But according to your age, You may easily reach till DD or even you may reach till JD as you are too young. Most of the people retire at the stage of AD or JDD. Few reach till DD, and even fewer reach to further levels.

    5. Thanks you mr.puhpak. could u tell me when police verification, training will start ? since they have not provided any information regarding that in results.

      Delete
    6. Dear Bala, Police Verification happens suddenly....You will not get a clue when they will e doing it....They even go to your School/college at times to take a feedback about you. You may mention your location, because if it is in Uttar Pradesh, I may help you out to a certain point as my DaD is in IB only. It is just to verify your credentials and there is not anything to worry about. By the time your verification gets over, you will be getting the Joining details. Training may happen after a certain time as it depends upon the batch. Batch might start after a few months. So you will be getting your first posting first and then training will be conducted later. Your joining might start with training too and posting can be given later depending upon the urgency and human resource requirement in any particular location

    Dear Pushpak,

    First of all, thanks for the wonderful job you are doing by giving information to aspiring candidates in your blog.

    I want to join the IB or RAW. But first, I want to know the following.
    1. Are ACIOs trained in intelligence/firearms?
    2. Do they hold guns?
    3. Is it a Field job or desk job?
    4. Can they arrest people?
    5.Do officers they have authority over other police forces?

    Please answer the questions for me. Its a big career choice and I want to be sure of what to expect.

    Thanks a lot for your time.

    Regards,
    Gopal

    1. Dear Gopal, I will be answering your questions point wise point:
      1) ACIOs itself means Assistant Central Intelligence Officers. Ofcourse they are well trained in intelligence and different Arms training is also provided to them.

      2) They do not usually hold guns but there are few condition where in they might hold guns too(As an ex. If ACIO is deputed to SPG{Special Protection Force - Which takes care of the security of PM and other VIPs - U would have seen people in SUIT and SAFARI in PMs security} They do carry Pistols and that too of very special features.

      3) It is a Mix of field and Desk Job. Depends upon the field which is given to you. As an example if you have been given Law & Order, Then you will have to go out into field. Politics is another vertical. There are many more.

      4) They themselves can not arrest people. But they can do it with the help of local police. Police is bound to comply with them. Both of them work together at times. In border Areas IB works with Armyyyy.

      5)It is not about authority but ofcourse they have privilege over many of others. Everybody has respect for IB people. Apart from it, common people are also afraid of them.

      I hope I have answered all of your answers, In case of any further doubts, feel free to post your questions.

      Thanks,

    THANX for such useful info.
    i wana know the risk factor in the job and at what places acio suppose to get training.

    also i need some suggestion, right now im doin job as a engineer in power plant so im confused about joining IB.

    Replies
    1. There are few Training centres of IB......the Main one is in Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh.....I am not so sure that how many more are there. Mostly get trained at Shivpuri.

      Risk Wise....As I have answered already in other replies....it depends upon the work which you get.....You might get into operational Jobs also. Risk is there in hilly areas and North-east training tenures but not to that extent as Our Soldiers(Army) people have....As IB people dont wear any uniform. So they can camouflage themselves as a comman man rather than posing as a Armed forces Personnel.

  19. hello pushpak,
    i heard that training takes place batch wise, last batch ppl get their training letter almost after a year of first batch. though they selected together in acio exam, some ppl get advantage and some waste their one year while waiting for letter.
    is it true???
    if it is , on what basis they call candidates for training????

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. ck.......You have got the right information. Training goes in batches an there are at times people waiting for their turn to come for training. It is done on the basis of your location. Say you get a place in UP like bareily or hardoi or meerut, If enough man resource is available then you may be sent directly for training after your joining. Unfortunately IB is running short of Man power and that is why they are into huge recrutiments. Apart from it Batch list is formed depending upon lot of other things.

    1. Dear Pirate,

      As per my information, I know a few personally who have joined in their locations without getting their training. He went to his training some 5-6 months after his joining. SO that is confirmed frm my side. But at times, people usually go directly for training, and after that only they get their first joining Locations....So it depends entirely upon your luck and the place you belong to. as if their will be urgent requirement for people, then they will be asking you to join first or else you will be going for training.

    1. Dear Sundar,

      all the posts r same but the difference is dat these are for different posts. It is like technical and non-technincal fields for which they have different pre-requisites. as an example there are people who work in field and there are others who track phones and do other technical things. Posts are of same level but in different departments. You may apply for technincal fields as you are an engg.

      Hope ur query got resolved.

      Thanks & Regards,

  53. hi PP,
    i have got lots of queries and i think only u will be able to tell me the truth, so i kindly request u to plz be honest in ur answers becoz my future will depend on ur replies.
    at present i am working as a trainee in steel co. where i will become asst. manager soon, i prepared hard for ssc combined graduate level and in my preference list i opted for assistant in IB, grade pay is 4600/- which i do not know exactly about. coming to the nature of job, i have seen in the comments of mrunal.org that i will be posted to border area & that too for a period of 3-5 yrs, since i am the only son of my parents i want to take care of them too, and will i get any time for studies so that i can again apply for ssc cgl if i do not feel satisfied in IB.

    Please tell me about the following:
    1. nature of job since starting till 10 yrs from now.
    2. facilities to me if any
    3. promotion chances ( i heard is based on ur performance & not on ur experience or ur years of serving)
    4. starting salary

    thanx in advance, i m eagerly waiting for ur reply but no issues if u do not reply.

    1. Dear barath,

      Difference between tech and executive is simple, tech people work in providing support things like IT work/ Mechanical work. It is purely an office Job where in Exec remain on field and have different fields like they take care of any of these things: Political/Law and Order/ Security/ VIPs/ Anti-terrorism/ Crime etc

      Secondly, Departmental exams are there. Even opportunity to work in abroad is there where salaries are exceptionally good. You can go to CRPF/RAW/SPG on deputation etc after passing the reqd exams

    1. When a ACIO-II gets deputation in supposing the CRPF, does he become a SI or still retains the same designation?
    2. Moving to a different topic, is the SI in CISF a better job than the ACIO-II? Where are the salaries and promotion aspects better? Or are they of the same level since both have the same grade pay of 4200/-.

    Thanks.

    1. well yes they will let you write in mains exam but you wont get much time to study if you join. if you read your memorandum its clearly written that promotion will be on basis of marks of qualifying written exam and interview and training performance.
      i think group A post is DCIO, which could take 8-15years depends on many things. yes SSC CGL IB assistant post is high grade post than ACIO and also its desk job.
