The Service Selection Board is an organization that conducts interviews and selections for officers in the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force. The service selection board assesses candidates’ suitability using a standardized protocol of evaluation system. The SSB Interview Process or Selection takes place over a 5-day period. Various tests and tasks are administered during these five days to evaluate the candidacy of the eligible candidates. The SSB interview consists of two stages of testing. Only after passing Stage A testing does a candidate advance to Stage B testing.
Candidates applying for the NDA, CDS, and Air Force must obtain the minimum qualifying marks in both the written test and the Officer Potentiality Test. Candidates applying for the Air Force must also pass the Computerized Pilot Selection System (CPSS) and the Pilot Aptitude Battery Test (PABT). The PABT Test is only for candidates whose first choice is the Air Force. PABT is also organized for all SSB-qualified candidates, with Air Force as one of the options.
