Routine At Services Selection Board SSB

The task of Services Selection Board is to select the suitable/potential leaders amongst the aspiring candidates who possess the requisite officer like qualities most commonly known as OLQs. It is universal truth that all men are born equal but no two men are alike because of the individual differences, genes and different environments, hence, all the candidates will respond differently to the situations presented to them by the three assessors.

The testing team comprises of the following:

  1. The Interviewing Officer which comprises of the President (Brig/Maj Gen) and the Deputy President (Col).
  2. The Group Testing Officers most commonly known as GTOs (Lt Col) who are three to four including one Senior GTO with each board.
  3. There may be four psychologists in each board including one Technical Officer (Lt Col). Thus the total number of officers in one Selection Board may be around ten.

Programme of Activities

The programme of activities at the SSBs is for six days including the screening test (Stage I testing), which is held on the 2nd day. The candidates are received by the representative of the SSB at the railway station and are accommodated in the SSB area only. Their boarding and lodging is free during their stay at the SSB. On the day of reporting, filling up of PIQ form (Refer chapter 22 on PIQ form), documentation and batch formation will be done. After the screening test which is held on the second day of the reporting, those who are rejected are dropped back at the railway station and the remaining are distributed into groups of eight to ten in each group for their GTO tasks. However, the psychological tests for all the candidates are held together.
Chest numbers are also allotted to the candidates and all the candidates are addressed only by their chest numbers which they are required to put on all the times at the SSB. There is also a group photograph on the 1st day itself and the candidates may order a copy of the same. They are also addressed by the President/Deputy President or any other officer designated. He generally covers the routine at the SSB and DOโ€™s and DONโ€™Ts, so ensure that you follow the rules carefully.

The details of their six days programme are as under:

First day:

  1. Filling up of PIQ (Personal Information Questionnaire) form.
