What this page covers
The Intelligence Bureau may publish ACIO notices for different streams, such as Executive or Technical, with distinct qualifications and selection processes. The Ministry of Home Affairs notice and application link are the controlling sources.
MHA's archive also carries result and stage updates. Candidates should identify the exact post and cycle before opening a result or admit-card notice because similar titles can refer to different examinations.
What candidates should track
- Exact ACIO grade, stream and recruitment cycle
- MHA advertisement and official application domain
- Qualification, age and required technical criteria for the selected stream
- Tier-wise examination, descriptive, interview or other notified stages
- Admit card, result and final-selection notices in the MHA archive
Safe verification and application workflow
- Start from the MHA website and locate the advertisement by its exact title.
- Confirm that the application link is referenced by MHA before entering personal details.
- Read the stage-wise syllabus, marking and identity-document instructions in the notice.
- Save the application record and monitor the MHA archive for admit-card and result updates.
- Treat unsolicited job offers, interview calls or fee requests as suspicious unless they can be independently verified on the official website.
Important cautions
- ACIO Executive and Technical notices are not interchangeable.
- Do not rely on a page that uses the IB name but cannot be traced from the MHA domain.
- Never share passwords or OTPs with a person offering selection or result assistance.
