Selection System

1. Selection Techniques

Selection technique followed by ISSB is three dimensional \. All the candidate appearing before the ISSB are to take three different types of tests. I.e Psych Test,GTO Test and interview. These test are administered by psychologist Officers, Group Testing Officers and deputy president, who are specialist in their respective fields. There exists a tight compartmentation of the dimensions who arrive at their conclusions independently. The board conference is chaired by the Deputy President. Group Testing Officer and Psychologist Officer act as members. In the conference a joint decision is taken about each candidate after detailed and careful deliberations.

The GTO dimension observes the candidates, behaviour in a group through situational tests while the deputy president  dimension analysis the candidate intellect, emotional pattern and social behaviour through interview.

i)Selection of candidates: In the selection process each of the three selectors arrives at the independent and isolated conclusion regarding candidates potentials. During the selection process each member of the board enjoys equal weightage as an expert of his field, irrespective of his rank and seniority.

ii)This is how the final picture of a candidate emerges reflecting three dimensions of his personality. The board then decides about the final result and either recommends a candidate for further training and decides not to recommend a candidate being un-fit for military training.
