SSB Conference Overview

Conference, in general, is a meeting of people who exchange opinions on a particular topic. At Service Selection Boards Conference takes place on the 5th Day (not the final day as your final day will be on last day of medicals) of your SSB Interview.

In Conference all your assessors like Psychologist, GTO, the Interviewing officer and the President of the Board will sit together, they will be in their service uniform and this is the only time in which you will see all of them together in uniform. They discuss your performance of last 5 days and take a call whether to recommend you for Medicals or not.

Before the Conference starts there will be a closing address given by the Board President or someone else on his behalf, he will tell you what qualities they were judging you for Last 5 days, he will tell you that they work on the right person for right job logic. He will also tell you to think whether you are ready for the Defence job or not as it is quite tough and if you are ready then keep trying hard if you are not Selected in this attempt. In short, he is going to apply some sort of ointment before injuring many of you.

Conference Procedure
