CBI Academy Ghaziabad Answered Questions

It depends on what kind of role you are expecting in the government 'Secret Agency'. The criteria is general and as per industrial standard for the post of analyst, inspector, operations, etc. However, for upper authority and (or) military intelligence in RAW, NSG, etc., they don't go for direct hiring. They don't even really the selection criteria and process. In general, they do pick up the serviceman (based on the past history of record) from the army and civil services and after their selection, they undergo training for various projects. Hence for qualifications, there is nothing as such (Science, Commerce and Arts) but you must have an exceptional track record in service. Secondly, for skills, you should be a quick decision maker.

Hi Anup,
For CBI, you can give SSC examination, while for RAW and IB, there are separate examinations. For RAW, vacancies come out through central secretariat, while for IB, an exam is conducted for ACIO (Assistant Central Intelligence Officer). Moreover, you can also go for IPS services, where you can later on opt for separate cadres in RAW, IB and CBI on deputation.
