[RescueRanger]

to which extent merit is observed in the hiring process? i hear the soldiers are favored over civilians is it true? last time i was shortlisted but never heard from them.

Pref always given to ex forces because of welfare and vetting reasons.

so civilians got no chance ?

I didn't say that. Like I said, if you have a high end engineering degree it increases your chances of getting head hunted, especially if you have advanced understanding of VOIP, Network Analysis, Network Operations, Electrical and mechanical engineering, Cyber etc.

Why not apply for Police and Transfer to Special Branch, Special Branch do a lot of work with ISI and MI.

let me make a correction over there --- Contractual Employees are preferred over the new recruits ...... they have a pool of contractual employees who have been working at the Agency for few years, in order to join the Permanent cadre of employees they have to go through the same process as fresh recruits.....hence in 2015 & 2016 Batch, most of the selected were already working at the Agency

just keep trying with MoD, NACTA, Punjab Forensic Science Agency, CTD....every now and then add pops up for them....I will let you know when I see one for the Agency in question

I also want to know how to apply for isi and what requirements are needed?

They advertise for recruitment of civilians as Assistant directors and you have to sit for a VERYYYYY lengthy test .

Why people are obsessed with joining intelligence agencies, only if they knew how these agencies work, no way near to James bond movies.
If they are really keen to serve there country , they can do that at individual level. They dont have to join armed forces or intelligence agencies for that purpose.

 

[Hammad Arshad Qureshi]

People think that joining and working in intelligence agencies would be a piece of cake and normal routine job. There is not anything but routine in intelligence work.

Even the entrance exam taken for ISI is so damn tough that hardly any candidates pass it. And not to mention the sacrifices the intelligence personal have to give in form of missing family functions, threats on there and there families lives, Low income and salary etc.

That's useless, Sir. No honest selection for AD is performed unless you've a nice PAWWA.

FPSC recruitment is done on the merit -- there is no pawa --- pawa is only useful when you reach the Interview stage or Department allocation
