What is ITBP?
Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) is one of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), which comes under the Department of Border Management, Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). It was formed after the Indo-China war of 1962, to guard the national borders with Tibet.
It's primary task is:
1. Guarding the borders of India with Tibet Autonomous Region (borders at Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Ladakh).
2. Preventing illegal entry, trafficking/smuggling across the borders, and hence providing border security to the nation.

Organisation: Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP)
Formed: 1962.
Motto: शौर्य-दृढ़ता-कर्म निष्ठा (Valour-Steadfastness-Commitment)
Type: Central Armed Police Force (CAPF).
Ministry: Ministry of Home Affairs.
Department: Department of Border Management.
Borders: India's Borders with Tibet (in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Ladakh).

Vacancies:
A total of 545 vacancies have been notified, which is distributed as follows:
1. General/UR: 209
2. Economically Weaker Sections (EWS): 55
3. Other Backward Castes (OBC): 164
4. Scheduled Castes (SC): 77
5. Scheduled Tribes (ST): 40

Why is it written in Notification - "on temporary basis likely to be permanent"?
Since driving a "Heavy Vehicle" is a highly skilled job, and driving it on difficult terrains like mountains near the Tibet Border (where there are sharp turns, no good roads at some places, and no visibility sometimes), requires great amount of skills and "mastery over Heavy Vehicle Driving".
So during your temporary service, if you show great skills, you'll become permanent. But, if you didn't perform well, your service will be terminated in short time.
