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&D

• 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 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.
