INTERVIEW:

The SSB procedure consists of two stage Selection process - stage I and stage II. Only those candidates who clear the stage I are permitted to appear for stage II.
The details are :

Stage I comprises of Officer Intelligence Rating (OIR) tests are Picture Perception and Description Test (PP&DT). The candidates will be shortlisted based on combination of performance in OIR Test and PP&DT.
Stage II Comprises of Interview, Group Testing Officer Tasks, Psychology Tests and the Conference. These tests are conducted over 4 days. The details of these tests are given on the website joinindianarmy.nic.in.
The personality of a candidate is assessed by three different assessors viz. The Interviewing Officer (IO), Group Testing Officer (GTO) and the Psychologist. There are no separate weightage for each test.
The pattern of SSB interview is given below:

SSB Selection Procedure Five Days:

Reporting Day:

On today, candidates need to report back to the selection center.
The candidate’s original documents alongside photocopies are going to be verified.
When the documents verification, Personal info questionnaire (PIQ) Forms are going to be filled.

PIQ Forms:

During this form, candidates got to fill their personal details relating to academic profile, family background, etc. This manner is incredibly necessary. It forms a base of queries, which could be placed to an aspirant at the individual interview round. The responses are going to be analyzed by the psychologist of the Board.

Screening Test Day 1:

On the following day, it’s Stage one.
Candidates got to offer an IQ test (Verbal & Non-Verbal) Perception test.
In PP test, slide (hazy or clear) is shown for thirty seconds & candidates got to write the story. Once finishing this test, the give-and-take round takes place. This sequence is often referred to like the picture Perception and Discussion Test (PPDT).

Intelligence Test:

It includes both; verbal and non-verbal queries. It’s a written exam which incorporates multiple selection queries. The time assigned to responsive every question is thirty seconds.

Picture Perception and Discussion test (PP & DT):

This exam includes story writing and discussion. an image is going to be shown to the candidates for thirty seconds and candidates got to write a story supported the image in three minutes. NDA SSB Interview…..

Psychology Test Day 2:

It is a collection of written tests, organized by a psychologist. In these tests, the candidate’s psychological quality is checked to be an official. These tests include:

Thematic apperception test (TAT):

It’s known as image Story writing. This test is extremely just like PPDT.
During this test, concerning eleven photos are shown.
Every image is displayed only for thirty seconds at that time candidates got to write a story supported the picture among four minutes.
Once four minutes another image are displayed and also the same procedure is followed until the last slide.
The twelfth slide is blank wherever a candidate is meant to put in writing any story of their own selection.

Word Association Test (WAT):

It’s the second psychological test of SSB choice procedure. During this test, sixty words are shown back to back for an amount of fifty seconds. Candidates got to write the primary thought that involves their minds for those words.

Situation Reaction Test (SRT):

During this test, candidates can get a book with sixty things written thereon. Candidates got to write their responses supported those sixty things.

Self Description Test (SD):

During this test, candidates got to write their opinion concerning their folks, themselves, friends, lecturers & others. The time is assigned quarter-hour.

Group Testing Office Task Day 3 & Day 4:

These Tests are interactive indoor and outside activities as a mix of mental and physical work. These tests are as follows:

Group Discussion:

During this round, a particular scenario or topic (mostly current affairs) is given to a gaggle of candidates. They’re expected to debate the varied aspects of the difficulty. Group Task Officer observes every candidate throughout the course of the conference.

Group coming up with Exercise (Military coming up with Exercise):

During this round, a model of real-world sensible circumstances is given to a bunch of candidates. They need to write down their own set up of activities for the mentioned downside.

Progressive group Tasks (PGT):

During this round, the cluster of candidates needs to cross some obstacles with the assistance of supporting materials like rope, plank, wood log, etc.

Half group Tasks:

This round is the same as PGT however the numbers of group members will half. Candidates get a lot of probability to indicate their potential.

Individual Obstacles:

During this round, candidates are needed to aim ten obstacles on an individual basis.

Group Obstacles Race or Snake Race:

During this round, all cluster members can contend to the opposite teams. Candidates are needed to cross sure obstacles with the snake-like rope.

Command Task:

During this task, an aspirant is a commander. He is needed to cross some obstacles with the assistance of 2-3 subordinates.

Lecturette:

During this spherical, every individual needs to provide a lecture for three minutes on a subject elect by them.

Final GroupTask:

It’s the same as PGT. Candidates have another likelihood to indicate their potential.
On a constant day, the candidate’s interview is conducted. It involves a private spoken communication with Associate in Nursing Interviewing Officers.

Conference Day 5:

On the ultimate day, candidates & all the SSB members sit along and have a talk to the candidates to raise a couple of general queries.
The conference is simply to determine whether or not you suggest as an official in Indian defense forces or not. Candidates are needed to return before the whole Board of Examiners, which consists of President, Deputy President, all the GTOs, all the psychologists, and Technical Officer.
