WARNING
It has been noticed that some unscrupulous elements are fraudulently inviting applications for various posts
in the Intelligence Bureau. Such elements are also alluring the aspirants appearing in various examinations conducted
by IB for providing assistance during the examination and are even issuing fake appointment letters to some of the
candidates. The prospective candidates/job aspirants are, therefore, cautioned not to fall prey to the designs of such
unscrupulous elements who try to dupe the unsuspecting aspirants/ candidates for their personal gain.
There have been several reports in the Social Media wherein some unknown persons claiming to be Ex IB
Officers give false assurance to the prospective candidates that they would help them in getting through this
Examination by virtue of their long association with the IB. Candidates in their own interest are advised not to fall prey
to such false, baseless, misleading and exaggerated claims of these persons as IB do not share any input regarding
the content of question papers of any Examination conducted by IB with anyone.
Candidates are advised to apply through the website of MHA only i.e. www.mha.gov.in.
