With 7,516km coastline to protect, the ICG isn’t just hiring employees. They
Guardians of Our Blue Frontier
Every new Assistant Commandant becomes a frontline defender against threats you see in movies – but this is real life. Remember the 2008 Mumbai attacks? That’s why ICG now monitors our waters with:
- 42 aircraft flying round-the-clock surveillance
- 78 ships intercepting suspicious vessels weekly
- Radar stations covering every inch of coastline
Last month alone, ICG units seized drugs worth ₹3,000 crore and rescued 14 merchant sailors from pirates. Your exam result isn’t just about a job – it’s about joining India’s aquatic superheroes.

Clear all stages and your transformation begins at the Indian Coast Guard Academy in New Goa. Here’s what your career path looks like:
| Rank | Time | Salary | Perks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assistant Commandant | 0-2 years | ₹80,000-90,000 | Free housing, sea duty allowance |

Surviving the Next Stages
Stage-I qualifiers often make fatal mistakes in preparation. Here’s what top trainers recommend:

The Silent Killer: Psychological Test
ICG uses proprietary psychometric tests developed with DRDO. Recent candidates report:
- Image association tests under time pressure
- Sudden crisis simulations during group discussions

“We watch how candidates behave when they think no one’s assessing,” reveals psychologist Dr. Nandita Roy from DRDO’s testing wing.
