SSB: A Introduction

There are numerous ways of earning Commission as an officer in Indian Armed forces, both for civilians(after +2,graduation,post graduation),as well as for serving personnel. Whatever be the mode,SSb is the step all have to clear, except for medical corps. There is no limit on number of attempts that can be made & SSB Assessors encourage candidates to appear again in SSB.
The interview exercise is mainly a psychological assessment of personality of cadet, to gauge his/her potential as a future officer in military. The tests conducted by SSB aim at selecting individuals with officer like qualities(OLQ's).
         These qualities include effective intelligence , sense of responsibility , initiative, judgement under stress, ability to reason & organise, communication skills, determination , courage willingness to set an example , compassion & a feeling of loyalty to the Nation.
         Most of tests requires  average intelligence. The SSB attempts to gauge the natural responses of individuals. The tests are graded into various categories of both individual & group variety & each batch of cadets go through the subtle testing pattern in the course of a few days. They are under observation not only while they perform in various tests but even as they conduct themselves during the course of their stay at SSB, where they are billeted for the duration.
     The SSB board is not concerned with the number of vacancies. Its responsibility is to assess & then recommend, After recommendation, the candidates appear for medical examination & after that is merit list. Those who finally make the grade join for training & hence become Commissioned officer's.
