How To Postpone SSB Interview Dates

How to postpone SSB Interview Date? I always come across the same question from my reader regarding the change of SSB Interview date, because most of the candidates are studying or they are working somewhere. You may have exam during your SSB or you may not get leave from office because of some project.But I feel that fresher’s are not aware more about the present SSB Interview procedure, mainly they do not know about. How to postpone SSB Interview date??
I must tell the candidates that SSB dates are fixed according to the availability of particular SSB board and the time duration. Few SSB interview dates are easy to postpone and few are hard , I will tell you why and how.
Let’s talk about it according to the type of entries and gradually discuss how to postpone SSB interview date and what are the procedures to  be followed to
postpone SSB Interview date.
1. CDSE Exam: It is conducted by UPSC so all the procedures are followed strictly, the possibility of getting call letter at your home is 99%, I will cut 1% for other factors such as postal service at your location. Candidates always ask for the SSB Interview dates , I do not know why do they behave so restlessly, instead of preparing for the SSB Interview they are more interested in  waiting for SSB Interview dates, one who clears CDSE surely gets the call letter.
  • How to postpone the dates: In this entry you get the absentee batch date, so you have to attend SSB either regular or absentee. The good thing is if you do not attend on the regular batch you will again get a call letter at your home to attend the absentee batch( but again it depends on the mood of the board).
  • When I say CDSE, it consist of IMA, OTA, AFA and NA.
  • Suppose if you did not get your call letter on time then you can take a print out of online list with your roll number. Please make sure you go with other important docs such as your 10th 12th and degree certificates.
  • For convenience go with originals but if you do not have them then go with attested copies and custodian certificate.
2. NDA and NA Exam: Again NDA & NA is conducted by the UPSC so all the rules are applicable same as CDSE Exam.
3. AFCAT: AFCAT was introduced in 2011 and till now IAF is doing a commendable job by handling all the applications manually by its own, the number of applicants are increase from 70 to 80% since 2011-2012 ( AFCAT exam held on Feb 2012). But again some glitches are there. Chances of getting admit card and call letter is 70-80% only, there are many cases of not getting admit card , call letter or whatsoever. If you get the call letter there will be only one date mentioned in the and no official absentee batch date. To be straight forward there is not absentee batch, all batches are regular batches only.
  • How to postpone the dates: First have a valid reason for postponing the SSB Interview dates, got the reason , open your SSB call letter, search for the contact details on the top. You can mail them , Fax them or you can talk to them on the phone. I suggest to do all the methods but the most convenient is call them . You should know your roll number, name( I am not kidding) , DOB(againWinking smile) and the date of SSB Interview, request the person who takes your call and tell them the valid reason, if he is kind hearted then he will ask the details of yours and he will provide you the date on next batch or any other batch. The batch will be regular but you will be added to it.
  • Good thing is you can prepone your SSB Interview dates also , procedure is same as mentioned above. *Cheers*
  • SSB Interviews list comes in parts like 1st , 2nd and 3rd lists, the official sire of IAF is very good and well managed. careerairforce.nic.in
3. TGC: It’s the most ill managed entry one must have faced, especially with the SSB dates. Chances of getting you name in the online list for SSB is 95%, 5% for those who apply offline or messed up with something else. Online list comes very late but it comes , also it will come in parts like 1st list and 2nd list.
  • How to postpone the dates: For Allahabad you will get primary, secondary and absentee dates you have to attend in one of those, further you will not get any other dates. For Bhopal and Bangalore you will get primary and secondary dates so better to attend in any one of those. There will be no official absentee date for you.
  • TGC officials are very lazy to attend your queries on phone so better do not take any chances of missing any dates given in the call letter.
  • Name not in the online list: Don’t worry there will be another list , calling TGC department barley helps you because all the lists are computer generated and if you have registered you will get your names for sure.
  • I did not send the documents by post: Do not worry if you have applied online successfully then you will get your name for sure.
4. SSC tech: Every thing is same as TGC except the type of commission , SSC is short service commission and TGC is for permanent commission.
5. Navy: All the direct entries like Logistics , ATC, Education, SSC Pilot etc. You have to apply online and send the docs if mentioned, strictly follow the deadlines.
  • How to postpone the dates: Mail them, Fax them and even you can call them, they will tell you the exact procedure. For direct entries there will be no absentee batch mentioned, but entries like NDA&NA you will get absentee batch(UPSC rules). But there are very well managed and they send you the e-mail and SMS. Also they will send you the email for absentee batch if you have missed the regulate one.
6. Other entries: Entries like NCC special are easy to manage so the process is quit smooth and you will get the call letter in time. Also you will get the online list so that you can check your ssb center and date of SSB Interview.

  13. sir kindly help. I gave my afcat exam on feb 24 th, very first attempt and I am more than sure to be shortlisted. having said that, there are two problems I am facing currently. 1st, I did my engineering from IP university, which provides you btech degree even ifv you leave two baclogs. they administer this on the basis of total credits earned. one should have 200 credits minimum to acquire the degree,’i have 206 credits therefore out of 214, after leaving two subjects. hence, I have been provided with a degree in my hand stating the mentioned criteria for it. am I eligible? kindly enlighten me here.
    2nd, one of my second sem marksheet had flaws in marks provided against each subject. last year hence I made a written application and returned that marksheet for correction. and now I have been told that they lost my marksheet i their bundle of files(this is completely true) I was shocked to hear that, and they have told to apply for duplicate marksheet which will obviously take some time. hence I do not have second sem marksheet right now, whicvh would be required in afsb. I do have a consolidated marksheet having all the subjects mentioned in it . all in one paper. will it work as a substitute. thankou . kindly help.

    • Possibility of changing SSB Interview dates will be mentioned in your call letter, sometimes it is difficult to get another date when it is not mentioned in the call letter.

      Please contact the SSB board for the same.

  50. I have been shortlisted for the SSB interview at AFSB-MYSORE (AFCAT 01/2012 for courses commencing from Jan-2013). Presently I am pursuing my final year and I have attended for my final semester exams. I have 2 backlogs at present but according to the rules laid down by the university to which we are affiliated, we can leave 2 subjects to obtain the degree and also those 2 subjects are excluded while calculating the aggregate. But as per notification the final semester students must not have any backlogs at the time of SSB testing. But as per my university rules I can obtain the degree by leaving those two backlog subjects.those details are present in the “academic regulation and syllabus” book provided by our university Can I attend the interview with those two backlog subjects? My interview is on 28-05-2012 at AFSB-MYSORE. (I have applied for technical branch 82AEC/54SSC only).

    i can proceed a letter from the principal of my college about the omission of two backlogs.kindly help me in this regard

  51. hi sir, this is thangavelu from chennai. i cleared the cdse II -2011 and the ssb interview is scheduled on 1st of june. kindly provide some details about the course- SSC (NON-TECH)-96TH COURSE.
    what does it mean by the term non-technical.

    • Hi Vel

      There is Technical entry (tech) also for candidates in army, only engineering candidates (BE Btech) are allowed in that.

      CDSE is a not tech entry , in non tech entry you will not go for any technical job mostly , and in tech entry you may go for some technical job in Army after getting commissioned .

    • sir, i’m having my university exam on 4th of june also the ssb interview on 1st or 2nd of june as per my call letter, when asked for alternative date they rejected my proposal. so is it possible to attend the ssb on 1st and return on 2nd or 3rd day of ssb? kindly advise.

    • Hi Vel , I guess you have go two dates , one is regular and another is absentee date. You can go in any one of these two dates. You cann’t go and come on 2nd day, if you clear the screening than you have to stay there for next 4 days.

  52. hi sir,
    i got my ssb regular date is on 22nd may and absentee date is on 30th June for ota. But beacause of my dad’s ill health, he has been hospitalised. So kindly tell me if i cant postpone the ssb date to 30 june or not. Do reply as soon as possible.
    Thank you.

    • Hi Preethi, you already got two dates , if you are enable to go in the regular batch, you always have the absentee batch . So do not worry and you can attend the SSB in the absentee batch without any problem .

      Do mail or call the concerned SSB board in this regard.

      Take care of your Dad.

      Good Luck 🙂

  53. sir i have got my ssb for cdse on 29may and my sem exam are clashing with it.so do i need to write to them to postpone my ssb or do i need to wait for the another call letter for the absentee batch..??

    • Yes, call and e-mail them, did you get any other date in the call letter?? If not ask them whether you will get another date or not. Mostly there is secondary date and absentee batch for CDSE.

  56. sir m a serving personnel in armed force my ssb was scheduled on 16 apr in maysore for afcat 2012 but because of my transffer n leave .can i again get a chance for my onterview ..please guide me.
    regards
    Mandeep Singh

    • Mandeep, service personal goes through different channel.

      Yes there is a possibility of getting another date but only if there is any service candidates batch available after your date .

      You have to contact the SSB board for that, rest the procedure is mentioned in this post.

      Jai Hind

  60. Sir,
    I have been selected for 4 AFSB, varanasi but unfortunately the dates clash with uni exams. Though I know the procedure for the change of dates, I would like to know the following:

    thanks,
    sujit
