SSB Interview Coaching

SSB Interview: Intelligence and Personality Evaluation

The SSB interview process is divided into two stages: Stage I and Stage II. Only those candidates who successfully clear Stage I proceed to Stage II. The breakdown is as follows:

Stage I:

- Comprises Officer Intelligence Rating (OIR) tests and Picture Perception & Description Test (PP&DT).

- Shortlisting for Stage II is based on combined performance in OIR Test and PP&DT.

Stage II:

- Includes Interview, Group Testing Officer Tasks, Psychology Tests, and the Conference.

- These tests span across four days.

The candidate's personality is assessed by three assessors: Interviewing Officer (IO), Group Testing Officer (GTO), and Psychologist. There's no specific weightage for each test; marks are assigned holistically based on performance across all tests. Conference marks also reflect the candidate's initial performance in the three techniques and the Board's decision, all holding equal weightage.

The IO, GTO, and Psych tests aim to reveal Officer-Like Qualities and their trainability in candidates. Based on these, candidates are either Recommended or Not Recommended during the SSB.

Selection Boards such as SSB, NSB, AFSB, PSB, and FSB play a crucial role in choosing armed forces officers.
