Fluency in English, both written and spoken is a weapon that a successful cadet in training in the defence forces must have in his arsanel. It is our outright endeavour to ensure just that. The period of training varies as per the need of the individual.

Recommendation in SSB is based on the demonstrated personality attributes of the candidate. Personality development has various aspects, the way one thinks, acts, behaves, deals with others, reacts to situations, dresses and communicates: the list is endless. We watch for all such personality attributes and do course-correction when and where necessary.

Service Selection Boards (SSB) process the candidates through Psychological Tests, Interviews and Group Tests in order to determine their suitability as potential defence officers.

Training is conducted over 2 weeks @ 4-5 hrs per day. Highly experienced and reputed assessors, Brig B S Gill (President and IO), Brig S Bodhe (President and IO), Col Vivek Nair (Deputy President and IO), Col S S Barde (GTO) and Col J S Rawat (Psychologist) conduct the sessions. We proudly claim to have the best team of SSB assessors in the state of Maharashtra.
