The Complete 5-Day SSB Interview Process
The SSB Interview is a comprehensive 5-day evaluation of your Officer-Like Qualities (OLQs). It's a test of personality, not just knowledge. Our AI modules will train you for every stage.
Officer Intelligence Rating (OIR) Test
What happens
- 2 tests with 40–50 questions each.
- Types: Verbal & Non-verbal reasoning (puzzles, coding-decoding, figure completion).
What you do
- Solve fast (20–30 mins per set).
- Mark answers on OMR sheet.
How assessors judge
- Speed + Accuracy = Raw Intelligence Score.
Pro Tips
- Time management is critical. If a question is too hard, skip it and come back later.
- Practice pattern recognition for series, analogy, and figure-based questions.
- Read the questions very carefully to avoid simple mistakes in interpretation.
- There is no negative marking, so attempt all questions if time permits.

PPDT – Picture Perception and Discussion Test
What happens
- One blurry, black & white image is shown for 30 seconds.
- You get 1 minute to note down character details (age, gender, mood) and the main theme.
- You get 4 minutes to write a complete story (past, present, future).
- In a group, each candidate narrates their story, followed by a group discussion to create a common story.
What you do
- Observe the picture carefully for hidden details and the overall mood.
- Write a positive, realistic, and action-oriented story with a clear hero who solves a problem.
- During group discussion, speak confidently, listen to others, and contribute to building a group consensus.
How assessors judge
- Your imagination, positivity, and clarity of thought.
- The Officer-Like Qualities (OLQs) demonstrated by your story's hero.
- Your confidence, communication skills, and ability to cooperate in a group.
Pro Tips for Success
- Observation: Look for characters, setting, and potential actions. Observe the main theme (e.g., rescue, planning, challenge).
- Story Writing: Use the PAST-PRESENT-FUTURE formula. Keep it realistic. Your hero should show leadership and social responsibility.
- Group Discussion: Don't shout or interrupt. Make meaningful contributions. Support good ideas from others to show teamwork.
Example PPDT Practice
- Picture: A boy is sitting alone on a bench holding his head.
- Sample Story: Ram, a 19-year-old student, was anxious after failing an exam. He realized he had not followed a proper study routine. Determined to improve, he created a new timetable, sought help from teachers, and studied with dedication. In the next attempt, he cleared the exam and motivated others to overcome failure positively.
