Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)
ISI is one of the best and very well organized intelligence agencies in the world. It was founded in 1948. In 1950 it was officially given the task to safeguard Pakistani interests and national security inside and outside the country. Its primary objectives are not only to safeguard Pakistani interests but also, to reinforce Pakistan’s power base in the region.
Naveed Mukhtar New ISI Chief
The ISI is tasked with the collection of foreign and domestic intelligence; co-ordination of intelligence functions of the three military services; surveillance over its cadre, foreigners, the media, politically active segments of Pakistani society, diplomats of other countries accredited to Pakistan and Pakistani diplomats serving outside the country; the interception and monitoring of communications; and the conduct of covert offensive and wartime operations. The functions of the ISI include gathering foreign and domestic intelligence and synchronizing the intelligence of the military services. The agency maintains surveillance of foreign diplomats in Pakistan, Pakistani diplomats abroad, and politically active members of Pakistani society. It monitors its own staff, the media, and foreigners. It tracks and intercepts communications and engages in covert offensive operations.
ISI is headquartered in Islamabad and works under a Director General, a serving Lieutenant General of the Pakistan Army. There are three Deputy Director Generals-designated DDG (Political), DDG (External), and DDG (General). The ISI is staffed mainly by personnel deputed from the police, para-military forces, and some specialized units of the Army. There are over 25,000 active men on its staff. This figure does not include informants and assets. It is organized into six to eight divisions.

Joint Intelligence Technical (JIT)
Not much is known about this section however it is believed that JIT includes a separate explosives section and a chemical warfare section.
The ISI maintains one more primary section in addition to the seven outlined above which is the Joint Intelligence Technical division.
At first, the ISI focused primarily on domestic espionage, such as tapping telephone conversations and monitoring internal political affairs. Because of its narrow scope, it was reportedly unable to locate an Indian armored division during the Indo-Pakistani War in 1965. When the war was over, Ayub appointed General Yahya Khan to chair a committee to evaluate the ISI and its subdivisions. From 1983 to 1997, the ISI reportedly trained over 80,000 Afghan Mujahideen for campaigns in Afghanistan. During the 1990s, the ISI grew into a powerful and questionable organization. It is said to function as an “invisible government†and is frequently called “a state within a state.†.On September 2001, President Musharraf appointed a new Director General for ISI, Lieutenant General Ehsanul Haq

Now we are going to discuss the direct method and its steps:
How To Join ISI As Officer Agent After Fsc (Inter-Services Intelligence Of Pakistan)

For civilians who want to join the ISI so the advertisement is handled by the Federal Public Service Commission because the members of the ISI are related to the ministry of defense. The FSPC conduct various sort of test to know the amenities of that person and whether this person is having the capability to join this field or not.

The IQ level must be above level 151 and consist of theoretical tests but not only based upon this theoretical test other tests are also crucial for determining the amenities of the individual.
After these tests, FSPC shortlists the candidates who are not eligible and sends a list of successful candidates to them and afterward conducts the interview. For those candidates who pass the interview, then fitness test is conducted which includes medical fitness tests and psychological evaluations.
As the individual clears this test the ISI performs a tough background and checks the candidate properly before being offered to join ISI.
