Assistant Central Intelligence Officer Recruitment 2013

About Intelligence Bureau

Intelligence Bureau is our country's internal intelligence agency and one of the world's oldest intelligence agency. It was recast as the Central Intelligence Bureau in 1947 under the Ministry of Home Affairs. The Intelligence Bureau reportedly has a lot of successes to its credit, but operations conducted by the IB are rarely declassified. Due to the extreme secrecy surrounding the agency, there is little concrete information available about it or its activities. Intelligence Bureau was initially India's internal and external intelligence agency. Due to intelligence failure in the Sino-Indian War of 1962, and later on, in the India-Pakistan War in 1965, it was bifurcated in 1968 and entrusted with the task of internal intelligence only. The external intelligence branch was handed to the newly created Research and Analysis Wing.
