The Service Selection Board (SSB) is the official organization that conducts the officer selection process for the Indian Armed Forces—including the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force. Candidates who qualify through NDA, CDS or hold an NCC ‘C’ certificate undergo a five-day SSB interview.
This comprehensive assessment includes psychological tests, personality evaluations, group activities, and personal interviews, focusing on qualities like leadership, communication skills, judgment under stress, confidence and loyalty to the nation.
