Hi all Defence aspirants, do you know that what selection method is used to recommend a candidate in SSB? If No then I am giving the information on the selection procedure of the candidate in SSB Interview. Normally SSB is fully confidential and nobody knows that who is going to get recommend and who is not, except assessors. But if any candidate belonging to an armed force officer family which has worked in SSB then he/she can tell you the exact method of selection.
I belong to a Defence background and my grand-father (My mother’s uncle) was Late Lt. Col. He told me the whole process of selection which I am discussing with all of you. It is mention below:
During the SSB Testing’s included Psychology, GTO and Interview the Assessors divided all the candidates in five Grade groups such as:
A, B, C, D, E
Now after it they give marks to the candidate in respect to their performance and on behalf of their performance Assessors distributed the candidates in above Grade groups.
SSB Marks of Grade Groups:
- If the candidate gets more than 80% marks then he/she in Group A or B.
- If the candidate gets 60% to 80% marks then he/she in Group C or D.
- If the candidate gets less than 60% marks then he/she in Group E.
Conditions for Recommendation
So there are three conditions for recommendation or not recommendation such as:
- If candidate in Group A or B then technically he/she is not fit for training in armed forces because he/she is much talented and should go for higher jobs such as IAS, IPS, Scientists etc.
- If candidate in Group E then he/she below standard and also not fit for training in armed forces.
- If candidate in Group C or D then technically he/she fit for training in armed forces.
So only Group C or D candidates recommend in SSB. Â Group C candidates are clearly recommended and Group D candidates are boundary line candidates. Hence, if any candidate wants to join armed forces as an officer then first understand that what SSB wants from you.
I hope this article is much useful for all those aspirants who are not aware the demands of SSB.
