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.
App Training (Live)
  • Simulate real OIR tests with time constraints.
  • Access a large bank of AI-generated verbal reasoning questions.
  • Get instant scores and track your performance.

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.
App Training (Live)
  • Practice with unique, AI-generated PPDT pictures.
  • Go through a real-time simulation: 30s for observation, 4 mins for writing.
  • Get instant AI feedback on your story's structure, OLQs, and overall quality.
