Intelligence and Personality Test
The SSB procedure consists
of two stage Selection process –
stage I and
stage II. Only those candidates who clear the
stage I are permitted
to appear for stage II. The details are :
Stage I
comprises of Officer Intelligence Rating (OIR) tests are Picture Perception * Description Test (PP&DT). The
candidates will be shortlisted based
on combination of performance in OIR Test and PP&DT.
Stage II
Comprises of Interview, Group Testing Officer Tasks, Psychology Tests and the Conference. These tests are conducted over 4 days. The details of these tests
are given on the website joinindianarmy.nic.in.
The personality of a candidate
is assessed by three different assessors viz. The Interviewing Officer
(IO), Group Testing Officer (GTO) and the
Psychologist. There are no separate weightage
for each test. The mks are allotted by assessors only after taking into consideration the performance of the candidate
holistically in all the test.
In addition, marks for
Conference are also allotted based on the initial performance of the
Candidate in the three
techniques and decision of the Board. All these have equal weightage.
The various tests of IO, GTO and
Psych are designed to bring
out the presence/absence of Officer Like Qualities and their trainability in a candidate. Accordingly candidates are Recommended or Not Recommended at the SSB.
