We get a lot of queries form our aspirants regarding the dress they require for SSB. So we decided to come up with a dedicated article on that. There is a particular dress code which you are supposed to follow while you are in your interview. In fact that is why everything is clearly mentioned in your call up letter. However we have tried to give you event by event dress code here so that you might get some help.
- Screening Day: Men need to wear a formal attire. Of course there is no compulsion but still it’ll make you look more sincere as this is the first instance you’ll appear in front of the board. Similarly for the lady candidates also, you are also advised to wear either western formals or simple salwar kurta. Men can wear dark trousers with light shirt and formal shoes.
- Psychology Test: for this test you can wear anything decent enough.
- Interview: For interview you need a formal pair of clothes. Both for the ladies and the men. Though sometimes you might be called for the interview immediately after your GTO but make sure to change your clothes if you even have a few minutes time. Here also men can wear formal trouser and shirt and ladies can wear either shirt-trouser or salwar kurta.
- GTO: For your GT series you need to have a white t shirt. Apart from it ladies can wear either shorts or track pants which should again be in white color. Men can wear white track pants. A white track suit will also be suitable. If you have a problem finding pure white clothes get the ones with around 90% white content. Ladies are allowed to wear white colored salwar kurta as well.
- Conference: For conference you have wear formal clothes just like interview. You have to appear in front of the whole board so you need to look presentable and formal.
- General purpose: Carry a night clothing or a suitable night dress for room. For mess premises also you have to go in decent preferably formal clothes.
- Shoes: Wear formal clothes with formal dress. Wear white sports shoes (if not then shoes with maximum white content) for GTO. You can’t roam in slippers so carry appropriate shoes to roam around in the premises.
Some important points:
- You can carry a pair of jeans and two t shirts for traveling and book out purposes.
- Not much casual clothing is required as you won’t get chance to wear it so carry clothes appropriately.
- You are not required to carry pillow or blanket but do carry one thin sheet for night.
