Candidates appearing for the SSB Interview often face confusion about the documents required for the process. This confusion is more prevalent among freshers and final year students who are not well-versed with the necessary documents needed for the SSB Interview.
It is imperative to carefully read the call letter and follow the instructions provided in it. The call letter generally lists all the important documents required at the time of the SSB Interview. However, the situation can become challenging for freshers who may not receive their call letter on time and are thus unaware of the necessary documents required.
To address this issue, this post provides a comprehensive list of the necessary documents that candidates must carry for the SSB Interview.
SSB (Service Selection Board) is the selection process for candidates who want to join the Indian Armed Forces as commissioned officers. It is a rigorous and challenging process that tests the mental and physical abilities of candidates. If you are one of the candidates who have cleared the written exam and are called for the SSB interview, then it is essential that you carry all the necessary documents with you. Here is a detailed list of documents that you should carry for the SSB interview:
SSB Interview Documents
- Admit Card: The admit card is a crucial document that you need to carry with you to the SSB interview. It contains all the necessary details like your roll number, exam date, and center, and without it, you will not be allowed to appear for the interview.
- Identity Proof: You need to carry a valid photo identity proof with you to the SSB interview. It can be any government-issued identity proof like Aadhar Card, Voter ID, Driving License, or Passport. Make sure that the name on your identity proof matches with the name on your admit card.

- Character Certificate: A character certificate is a document that certifies your character and conduct. It is usually issued by your school or college principal or any other government official. Make sure that the certificate is not older than six months.
- Medical Certificate: You need to carry a medical certificate that certifies that you are fit for the SSB interview. The medical certificate should be issued by a government-authorized medical practitioner and should not be older than six months.
- NCC Certificate: If you have participated in the NCC (National Cadet Corps), then you need to carry your NCC certificates. These certificates are considered as an added advantage during the SSB interview.
- Sports Certificates: If you have participated in any sports activities at the national or international level, then you need to carry your sports certificates. These certificates are also considered as an added advantage during the SSB interview.
- Covid19 Test Report: Some boards may ask for a negative Covid-19 test report at the time of SSB.

Sir,
I cleared AFCAT 1 2014 and have my SSB interview on 18th August. I have completed my B.E. in June 2014. The final semester results were declared on 25th June and the revaluation results were declared on 5th August. I do not have the mark sheet of 8th semester issued by the university and the degree certificate will be issued after September. I was a final year student when I applied for AFCAT 1 2014 and cleared it. Is the provisional degree certificate issued by the college principal acceptable? Or is it compulsory for me to take provisional degree certificate issued by the university only?
Also, I have recent passport sized photos taken against white background in black clothes. Is it acceptable?

I have completed my degree with 58% from IGNOU. I have applied to appear for exam in June 13 improve my %. As such, will I be allow to appear for SSB in April before improving my%?. Anyone please kindly advice me. Thank you.
The SSB which is scheduled to be in April, this is basically for the Course which is going to commence in July this year. The basic criteria of AFCAT is 60 % aggregate and this too should be attained before joining the Academy. However, if you appear in June TEE, the result will be declared only after July i.e. after commencement of course. So, it will be helpful only for the course commencing in Jan 14.
