what are the qualifications or procedures needed to become a raw agent?

For joining RAW (research and analysis wing) you have to firstly crack indian civil service exam with flying rank.

Only the the candidates who are selected for IAS are offer to join RAW as an agent or officer for service of 2-4 years which is extendable for upto 7 years depending on eligibility criteria.

there is no entrance exam for RAW.....you will have to join in cbi or other govt investigating department or as an inspector.....then on the basis of your performance you will be approached by the raw agents....................

best of luck

They are appointed from the indian army as their officials and i think its not possible for an individual to join directly in the RAW agency.

Hi
to fill this forums .this exam is very hard because in the post direct in officers line and to qualified this exam then u call interview
ok best of luck

there is no entrance to become a raw agent .For this you need to be a in cbi or in government service as an inspector

only one thing i want to say my dear friend.
"YOU CAN NOT CHOSE THE RAW,RAW WILL CHOSE YOU".

you will have to join in cbi or other govt investigating department or as an inspector .. after that you can become a raw agent

guys from IPS, illustratious IFS AND IAS and other allied services, from defence forces and central police are sent on deputation which normally doest exceed 5 years. there are instances when academics and officers of IB/CVC are also included.

The objectives of RAW include:
To monitor the political and military developments in adjoining countries, which have direct bearing on India's national security and in the formulation of its foreign policy.


To seek the control and limitation of the supply of military hardware to Pakistan, mostly from European countries, the USA and China.

Actually, officially there is nothing as RAW. It is the Research and Analysis Wing of the Cabinet Secretariat. It's higher level officers are drawn from the ranks of police (IPS), defence services as well as allied civil services like the Indian Postal Service and Railway Service. Initially, all officers are on deputation but they can prefer to join the Reasearch and Analysis Service. If they do so, they have to quit their parent service. Lower level officers who form the front field staff (the rank of Section Officers, called Field Officers) are recruited through competitive examinations and interviews. The recruitment advertisements do not come as recruitment for R&AW but as Cabinet Secretariat looking for Field Assistants and Field Officers.

I Radhey shyam want RAW agentship. I passed diploma in IEm.&computer. I lilike hard work.travel.driving

dear friend,
for becoming a RAW agent, you have to crack the exam of CBI.

R & AW Dreams

I had also previously disscussed that there is no Entry Schemes for R & AW as that of other India Security or defence services.

R & AW is an independant body, it has the power to select candidates as they wish, sometime R & AW recruits there agents and officers from Army, IPS, IAS, IB, CBI, or sometimes directly from Universities (very rare case).

Present R & AW chief is P K Hormis Tharakan, who is 1968 batch IPS and was Directorate General of Police. In the same way previous R & AW chief was Mr. K.C.Verma he was the chief of IB.

Now the thing would be clear to you, that there is no direct recruitment policy for it.

Like wise IAS, IPS etc. R & AW service is known as RAS (Research and Ananlysis Service).

The whole tenure of a R & AW agent is of nearly 2-5 years, after that they are allowed to back to there old service of weather IAS, IPS etc.

If you want to join R & AW directly then I have two ideas strucking in mind. 1) RAW recruit directly through Staff Selection Commission Organize, which a exam called Deputy Field officers Under cabinet secretary,there you can appear. And we know cabinet secretary is also an IAS officer, as because cabinet secretary is the highest post of IAS, he is who handles PM's office.

2) Candidates who TOP IAS exams are invited by RAS to join them. But its not so easy. RAS conducts its own entrance even tougher then IAS, followed by Personality test etc. Then begins training ..........!

Training at RAS is very different from those of any other Security services. Basic training conssist of "PEP TALK" this is to increase the level of confidance of the officer. Which contains various case studies of reputed National and International Security organisations etc.

Then comes new training of 1 or 2 years, which is normal.

Remember one thing all these are quite interesting to read but not easy to achieve. One of the quality of R & AW officers is that sometimes they are also TOP level "White cap Hackers" are also recruited in R & AW in very rare case if they dont find good 'Hackers" from ARMY or IPS.

I think India's TOP HACKER "Ankit Fadia" has also worked in a case (Not as officer, as a professional hacker) for R & AW and FBI and NIA like organisations .


R&AW Being No. 8th Intelligence Department in whole World, it is not easy to get there. Only the short sure way is to go through IAS.

hello,
sometime R & AW recruits there agents and officers from Army, IPS, IAS, IB, CBI, or sometimes directly from Universities (very rare case).

just class 12 pass u are elligible for being an agent

To become a RAW agent you can first join IB for which vaccancies are there in employment newspapers from time to time. After joining IB you can have chance to become a RAW agent. Its very sensitive post so for it no direct exam conducted.

Hai
For this you have to undergo a basic training.It commences with "pep-talks" to boost the morale of the new recruit( a 10-day phase).

hey friend yes u can becom raw agent with some harsdwork

u have to qualify ias exam then secretly u will be spyed on and if u are found clean with no complaints then u will be secretly made raw officer

hi

shweta

hii friend .. nice question to be answered from me Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) needs many candidates they were taken from the military, police and other services
RAW began directly recruiting graduates from universities it has developed a new advance commtiee the Research and Analysis Service (RAS) to absorb talent. Recruitment is mostly by deputation from the Armed Forces or Civil Service Officers if you join any of this you can be a RAW agent....
regards
azhar

you will have to join in cbi or other govt investigating department or as an inspector.....then on the basis of your performance you will be approached by the raw agents.The whole tenure of a R & AW agent is of nearly 2-5 years, after that they are allowed to back to there old service of weather IAS, IPS etc.

The forms are available from the designated head post office of your area. The best coaching are mostly located in Delhi. The name of some of them are
Nirman
Dheya
Chanakya
Career Launcher etc.
But first you decide your subject and then choose the best coaching according to your subject.

Best of luck!!!!!!!111

R & AW is a very secret External Security Agency of India, like- FBI, NIA etc.

All the informations are kept secret, and these type of organisations doesn't allow to have website, its all about Country's security that can not be compromised even for a single second.

dear friend,

you can become a RAW( research and analysis wing) agent by passing the exam of UPSC with top rank.

after getting top rank you can join IPS.you know that the maximum official of RAW is an IPS officer.

after some experience you can become the agent of RAW.

all the best.

Dear friend,
to become a RAW agent you have to crack Indian civil service examination with flying rank.only those who are selected for IAS are eligible for RAW agent for a period of 3-4 years which is extendable upto 7 years under certain criteria,
Wish You All The Best!!!!

Dear you haven't mentioned your Designation in Army. However go through the whole article nicely.


If you want to join R & AW directly then I have four ideas strucking in mind.

1) Deputy Field Officers (DFO): Are appointed directly at the junior levels and then the field officers and senior field officers. DFO are recruited for General Duty (GO), basically in telecom, technical and economics. As we know other than GO, the rest are promoted to FO and then RO (Resident Officers) in their respective cadres.


We know (General Knowledge) that Field officers (equivalent to inspector) and senior field officer (equivalent to DSP) are appointed on seniority. You need to work for a minimum of eight years as a DFO to be promoted to the next level, that is a FO. Similarly after minimum five years FO is promoted to senior field officer (SFO) (Class I) rank. Foreign postings are only for General Duty FO and SFO, under, secretary, deputy secretary, director, joint secretary and additional secretary.

However Cabinet Secretary heads the whole one. Before reaching to PM (Prime Minister) or Defence Mnistry, Home Ministry, Officers and Agent should have to go through “Cabinet Secretary”. (Don’t be confused just for General Knowledge).

2) Senior level appointments are made in two ways:


A) On the campus recruitment of Civil Service candidates at the foundation course. Candidates who TOP IAS exams are invited by RAS to join them. But its not so easy. RAS conducts its own entrance even tougher then IAS, followed by Personality test etc. Then begins training ..........! Training at RAS is very different from those of any other Security services. Basic training conssist of "PEP TALK" this is to increase the level of confidance of the officer. Which contains various case studies of reputed National and International Security organisations etc.

Then comes new training of 1 or 2 years, which is normal.


B)Recruitment of university graduates. The general criteria followed is a 1st class from Class X onwards (till selection). Final selection is made through interviews. Remember one thing all these are quite interesting to read but not easy to achieve. One of the quality of R & AW officers is that sometimes they are also TOP level "White cap Hackers" are also recruited in R & AW in very rare case if they dont find good 'Hackers" from ARMY or IPS.



3) Special appointments: Are made in technical or scientific field through campus interviews at such institutes. R & AW prefers persons who have had some experience of working in government organisations. Interview panels include experts and selectors from UPSC.



4) Language specialists: They find employment with R & AW because it deals with foreign countries and is involved in the study of foreign service materials characteristics. R & AW recruits interpreters who are promoted to assistant foreign language examiner and then to deputy foreign language examiner. Interpreters are recruited directly to the language cadre.

NOTE: There is no SC/ST quota or reservation for any of these jobs.

The recruitment procedure of RAW is very strict in the Indian security. There will be no compromise in choosing the best. Candidates aspiring to join the firm have to pass the Civil service examination first. Only high scorers in the IAS exam are permitted to appear in the RAW exam. Capable candidates are carefully selected and allowed to serve for 2-5 years and can further extended to 9 years. For more details please visit the official website.

to get into the role of officer in RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS WING .. ONE NEEDS TO BE ALREADY A OFFICER IN ANY DEFENCE SERVICES OR ANY INTELLIGENCE AGENCY OR IN CIVIL SERVICES ..LIKE IPS IFS IAS...//

its not necessary that those who top the IAS exam are the best.... some of them may be best in mugging up.... its not an exam for real intelligence... So there must b sm other way to enter R & AW ...
