Cracking the SSB Screening Test: Your First Step to the Uniform
The SSB (Service Selection Board) interview is a rigorous process designed to assess a candidate’s potential as an officer in the Indian Armed Forces. The first stage is the screening test, which acts as a filter to identify suitable candidates for the subsequent stages.
Understanding the Screening Test
The screening test comprises two primary components:
- Officer Intelligence Rating (OIR) Test: This test evaluates a candidate’s mental ability and problem-solving skills. It includes both verbal and non-verbal reasoning questions.
- Picture Perception and Discussion Test (PPDT): This test assesses a candidate’s imagination, communication, and interpersonal skills. It involves describing a picture story and discussing it in a group setting.
