GROUP DISCUSSION ( GD ) SSB interview spans about five days. There are numerous tests conducted by SSB Board officials to test whether a candidate is fit for recruitment or not in Indian armed forces. To clear SSB interviews, all candidates must excel in group discussion tests.
In general, group discussions are conducted on the 3rd Day of SSB. Group Training Officers (GTOs) are responsible for testing the candidates during the GDs. Discussions in a group will bring out various Officers Like Qualities (OLQs) in candidates. During a group discussion, all candidates will be seated in a semi circle. In a batch,there will be ten to twelve candidates in SSB interviews. But this number may also increase up to twenty candidates per batch as per the total strength of SSB interview. GTO will sit in the backside of the semi-circled group. Also there may be two to three psychologists sitting and observing activities of each individual of the group during their discussion. GTO will brief the group about the group discussion test in brief. Generally, group members will have to choose a discussion topic between the given two topics by GTO. For choosing a topic, two to three minutes will be given. So during these two to three minutes, candidates need to discuss among themselves and bring forward a topic to proceed with group discussion test. If a group can not come to a final decision about the topic to discuss, then GTO will give the topic according to his wish. Total ten to fifteen minutes will be given to discuss about the topic.
