  Dos and Don'ts in the Conference 1. The last day i.e. day 5 is the conference day . In this each candidate is called into the conference room one by one to take a final look . Before the candidate is called in , a conference on the findings by all the three assessors namely the Psychologist , the GTO and the Interviewing officer is discussed before a final decision is arrived at . No one technique is important . It is the collective opinion of all the three assessors that matters . A candidate cleared by one assessor can also get cleared if there is a consensus and a candidate cleared by all three assessors may also be dropped in the conference , based on some doubts about the candidate which may get confirmed by all the three . Hence , if you have not been able to do well in any particular test / technique do not give up and continue to do well till the last . 2.

The Conduct  This is the first activity in the GTO test series. There will be two rounds of GD. The candidates will be made to sit in a circle, in the numerical sequence of their chest numbers. In the first round the GTO will give the group two topics and allow the group to choose any one for discussion. Once the group has chosen the topic, he will repeat the topic so that all are clear about the topic of discussion. Time allowed for discussions will be 20 minutes. The first round will normally be based on current affairs covered by the media/newspaper in the recent past. Thus, reading newspapers on a regular basis is very important. In the second round, the GTO will give only one social topic for discussion and the group will have no choice but to speak on that topic only. The GTO will also give three leads with each topic.

Image
Group Testing is very important part of SSB Interview process. Group Testing is based on the theory of Gestalt, wherein the Group Testing Officer- GTO looks at the candidates performing in a group, then gradually singles them out and gives a closer look and finally once again observes them perform in the group. There are a total of nine tasks/activities conducted by the GTO. These are divided into three distinct phases as described below.  Basic Series  In the basic series there are four tasks namely Group Discussion (GD) (two rounds), Group Planning Exercise (GPE), Progressive Group Task (PGT) and the Group Obstacle Race (GOR). All these tasks are group tasks and performance in these is very important. In this series the group goes through three stages of development. The first stage is called the exploration stage. As the candidates are unfamiliar to each other, they explore and try to gauge each other's abilities. This typically happens during the two rounds of the GD.
