About the SSB Interview
The SSB Interview is a 5-day personality and intelligence evaluation conducted by the Indian Armed Forces to select officers based on Officer-Like Qualities (OLQs). It applies to all candidates who clear written exams such as NDA, CDS, AFCAT, TES, and TGC.
NDA (National Defence Academy)
CDS (Combined Defence Services)
AFCAT (Air Force Common Admission Test)
TES (Technical Entry Scheme)
NCC Special Entry, TGC, and SSC (Tech) Entries
The Services Selection Board (SSB) is the final gateway to an officer’s commission in the Indian Armed Forces. It is a 5-day process that evaluates candidates on 15 Officer-Like Qualities (OLQs) through Psychological Tests, Group Testing Officer tasks, and a Personal Interview. No amount of last-minute preparation can crack the SSB — it requires consistent personality development over months. That’s exactly what NCA Mohali delivers.
