Join the Directorate General of Inter Services Intelligence (ISI)

[pakpatriotism]

Recently there have been a lots of questions regarding how to join ISI , Following are the Two ways you can do that.

1. The indirect way

2. The Direct way

First we’ll discuss the indirect procedure:

If you are passionate to serve your motherland, you ‘ll surely achieve it somehow. Join ISI indirectly requires joining first, the armed forces of Pakistan. Be it army, navy, or the air force; members of all armed forces can join ISI, whether they are Officers, Junior Commissioned Officers (JCO’s), or the Non Commissioned Officers (NCO’s).

Officers/JCO’s/NCO’s have to apply for admission. After taking permission from the Unit Officers Commandings, they appear in a basic test which on clearing, they are sent into the Inter-Services Intelligence School. After finishing the intelligence course, they can apply to be posted in Field Intelligence Units (FIU) or in the directorate of Military/Air/Naval intelligence. Then they wait and hope that their performance is good enough to be invited to the ISI for a temporary posting. Based on their performance in the military and the temporary posting with ISI, they are then offered a more permanent position.

Senior ISI officers with ranks of Major and above are only assigned to the ISI for no more than two to three years to curtail the attempt to abuse their power. Almost all of the Director-Generals of the ISI have never served in the organization before being appointed by the military commanders to lead it. ISI also monitors former, current and retired military officers who at one point or another, held sensitive positions and had access to classified data. However in some special circumstances, officers with outstanding achievements are given an extended appointment and even a lifetime (till 60 years of age) job.

Now we come to the direct procedure:

For civilians, recruitment is advertised and is jointly handled by the Federal Public Services Commission (FPSC) and civilian ISI agents are considered employees of the Ministry of Defense. The FPSC conducts various examinations testing the candidates’ knowledge of current affairs, English and various analytical abilities. Based on the results, the FPSC shortlists the candidates and sends the list to the ISI which then, conducts the initial background checks. The selected candidates are then invited for an interview which is conducted by a joint committee comprising both ISI and FPSC officials.

Those candidates who pass the interview, then have to go through rigorous fitness, medical and psychological evaluations. Once the candidate clears these evaluations, the ISI performs a very thorough background check on the candidate before being offered to join the ISI. Security clearance is granted once the candidate accepts the offer. Recruited agents then go to the Inter-Services Intelligence School for basic training following which, they are employed on an initial one year probationary period. However, civilian operatives are not allowed to rise above the equivalent of the rank of Major and are mostly assigned to Joint Intelligence X (JIX), Joint Intelligence Bureau (JIB) and Joint Counterintelligence Bureau (JCIB) departments and the rest of the departments are solely headed by the armed forces though there have been rare cases in which civilians have been assigned to those departments.

Isi has their own selection process. They advertise vacancies through ministry of defence in newspapers twice in a year for civilians

Attention Seniors....!

AOA,
I have a query related to recruitment process of MoD that involves my friend and friend's nephew.

One of my friends and a nephew of other friend had applied for the posts of TAS/TA/Operator Special through NTS for MoD. They appeared in written tests in March 2014 cleared/passed that test in May 2014.

After that they both were not called for psychological/intelligence test which held in May 2014, on inquiring from NTS they were told that the posts they applied against were exempted from psycho test etc.

In the month of June 2014 they both had received Bio Data form from P O Box address of MoD, that form had to be duly filled and send back to the NTS HQ address along with other document copies.

They sent the duly filled form to the NTS within the provided deadline through express courier service.

Now many candidates from their city have/had received interview letters for December first week(For the same posts TAS/TA/OS),whereas they have not received any such letter or call from MoD. Kindly shed some light on this issue, that what could have went wrong in their recruitment process.

Since they directly received Bio Data form from MoD, it means that they should have received an interview call. Had they appeared for psycho test we would have assumed that they disqualified due to failure in psychological test, but they were exempted from that test.

Should they be optimistic and wait for a call and/or letter from the respective organization or should they lose hope for any good happening in their case??? Please seniors do reply as they both are worried and confuse regarding this ambiguity of recruitment process. Thank you

Regards

Either you can join as civilians or through army. It MOD who hires civilians, you need to keep an eye on mod advertisements in newspapers
