Dear Gradians,
The interview is one of the most important parts of the SSB. As previously discussed the ‘Mansa’, ‘Karma’ and ‘Vacha’, the interview is a test of ‘Vacha’.
The SSB interview is an interaction of a candidate with the interviewing officer about himself. The Interviewing Officer asks questions with the candidate to test whether he/she is suitable enough to lead men.
Important Questions asked in SSB Interview
The questions that are asked are related to normal life and are simple in nature, but the way of answering is the crux to crack the SSB interview. Here also the Interviewing officer is testing for the Officer Like Qualities in candidates.
One more important point to keep in mind is that the OLQ’s represented in the Psych Test & ongoing GTO should be carried over to the Interview as well. During the Interview, the IO (Interviewing Officer) should not feel that the person was faking a particular quality.
The questions that are asked by the IO are based on what you have written in your PIQ (Personal Interview Questionnaire), Self-Description Test (SDT) and your blank story. These document he already goes through before you have an interaction with him.
