It's a total clown show, as almost all these agents are publicly listed as Intelligence Agents (any IPS officer or State Police Officer that gets central deputation to work with IFS is intelligence).
"Senior Field Officer" is a IB/RAW rank btw. You can practice for the exam for that position on Sequoia funded Byju [0] and an example exam [1]
Tbf they tend to get people who rote study instead of strong critical thinking skills as like with any other Indian govt job you need to take a hypercompetitive exam that takes years to study and the pay sucks (best case $2k a month at the highest levels).
The best and brightest join the private sector or electoral politics instead. No point grinding for a govt exam when you can either gain a ton of money or power respectively.
