SSB INTERVIEW COMPLETE PROCESS

Services Selection Board (SSB) is the specialized body responsible for assessing and selecting candidates for commissioning into the Indian Armed Forces as officers. The Armed Forces of India comprise three wings – the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

Candidates who qualify in written examinations such as the National Defence Academy (NDA), Combined Defence Services (CDS), and Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT) are called for the SSB Interview. Additionally, certain direct entry schemes such as the 10+2 Technical Entry Scheme (TES) and NCC Special Entry allow aspirants to appear directly for the SSB Interview without undergoing a written examination.

The SSB Selection Centres are established across India, with different boards designated for each service. These centres are equipped to comprehensively evaluate candidates on their psychological aptitude, leadership qualities, communication skills, and overall officer-like qualities (OLQs) through a structured five-day testing process.

SSB Interview comprises 5 Days in which a candidate undergoes 2 stages. The stages are

1. Stage-1 : SCREENING TEST

It further comprises of 2 sub-stages

a) O.I.R - Officers Intelligence Rating (Verbal & Non-verbal test)
In this test, a candidate's ability to solve mathematical problems, categorised into verbal and non-verbal reasoning tests is tested. The question booklet is prepared by DIPR(DEFENCE INSTITUTE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL RESEARCH). As per the candidate's performance, they are given OIR rating 1,2,3...so on with OIR 1 being the highest.
b) PPDT - Picture Perception and Discussion Test
This is a test of imagination and observation. In this test, a picture is shown to the candidates for 30 seconds on a screen and they are required to write a story on that picture in 4 minutes. After this candidates are subdivided into small groups for the DISCUSSION test. In this, each candidate narrates his/her own story to the group and after the individual narration, group discussion begins to come to a common GROUP STORY.

NOTE: The candidates who clear Stage 1 proceed to Stage 2 whereas the candidates who don’t make it to Stage 2 are routed back home

2. Stage-2

This stage consists of 3 testing techniques and a Board Conference on the 5th day. The tests are

a) Psychological Tests - They comprise 4 tests which are

1. TAT - Thematic Apperception Test
In TAT, candidates are shown 12 pictures including 1 blank picture, for 30 seconds each and 4 minutes are provided to write a story on that picture. The difference between PPDT and TAT is that in TAT, 12 pictures are shown one after another, and a discussion test does not take place. The 12th picture is a blank picture in which a candidate can write his/her own story of choice.
2. WAT - Word Association Test
In this test, candidates are shown 60 words one after another for 15 seconds each. They are required to associate that word with a sentence and write that within 15 seconds after seeing the word.
3. SRT - Situation Reaction Test
This test comprises 60 situations which are provided in a question booklet. The time given for this test is 30 minutes and the candidate is required to write his/her response to that situation.
4. SD - Self Description
Self-Description requires a candidate to describe himself/herself according to his/her opinion and society's opinion in paragraph form. It comprises of 5 main parameters :

b) PERSONAL INTERVIEW

The personal interview is a one-to-one interaction between the assessor and the candidate. The main purpose of this technique is to understand a candidate much deeper, which becomes impossible during a written examination. The interview revolves around a form known as PIQ(Personal Information Questionnaire) which is provided to the candidate before going for the personal interview.

c) G.T.O

GTO stands for Group Testing Officer which assesses you not individually but in a group, unlike the other two tests. It includes a total of 9 tests that are conducted outdoors. It takes place over a period of 2 days on Day 3 and Day 4 consecutively. The tests are –

1. GD - Group Discussion
It is the first test in the G.T.O series. In these 2 Group Discussions, each of around 15-20 minutes takes place. The 1st GD topic is of the candidate’s choice but the 2nd GD topic is of the assessor's choice.
2. GPE - Group Planning Exercise
It is also known as MILITARY PLANNING EXERCISE. In this, a wooden board-like structure called a map is placed in front of a group of candidates and a story is narrated to the group by GTO. The story involves a group of people encountering 4-5 problems simultaneously. For 5 minutes, a story card is given to each student after the common briefing of the story. 10 minutes are provided to the students to write their individual plans of solving the problems simultaneously using the resources available. After this discussion test takes place and the candidates are required to arrive at a common group plan. Then one candidate from a group is nominated to give the common group plan to the GTO.
3. PGT - Progressive Group Task
In this task, the group of candidates will get 35-40 minutes to solve some structures on the ground using available resources like plank, balli, rope, load, etc. There are 4 levels of obstacles having their difficulty level in ascending order. The group needs to cross all the obstacles together without breaking any rules
4. HGT - Half Group Task
This task is similar to PGT except for the fact that the main group gets divided into 2 subgroups and they have to solve only 1 obstacle instead of 4.
5. GOR - Group Obstacle Race/Snake Race
In this task, a cloth-like structure in the shape of a "snake"(that's why the name SNAKE Race) has to be carried by the group of candidates and cross the obstacles in front of them. They need to abide by some rules in this task.
6. Lecturette
In this a candidate will get 3 minutes to prepare before delivering their Lecturette speech for 3 minutes in front of GTO and his/her group. The topic will be chosen by the candidate from a total of 4 topics displayed on a card, which candidate randomly picks up from the table.
7. Command Task
In the command task, you'll be made the Commander and with the help of 2 subordinates from your group and the helping material (plank, balli, rope, load, etc), you've to complete the obstacle in front of you. The time for this task is approx. 15 minutes.
8. Individual Obstacle Task
This task consists of 10 obstacles that need to be completed by the candidate within 3 minutes. He/She can repeat the tasks once all the 10 obstacles have been completed once.
9. FGT - Final Group Task
The last task of the GTO series. It is a reflection of PGT but only 1 obstacle needs to be completed by the whole group within the time limits using the resources available.

d) BOARD CONFERENCE

It’s the last activity that takes place in the 5-Day SSB procedure. After you’ve undergone all the testing techniques, you go for the final Board Conference. This is like a “MINI-INTERVIEW” where each candidate is called inside a room, where all the assessors including the Board President & Deputy President are present. The candidate is asked some basic questions regarding his 5 days experience and his/her life. After the board conference, final results are announced.

NOTE: The candidates who get selected/recommended are required to stay at the respective SSB Centre for further documentation and medical procedure whereas the candidates who don’t make it are routed back home.
