De Novo Selection System - 3 Day SSB

The current SSB interview system is running since 1948 with minor changes. The current SSB interview is a 5-day interview procedure where a candidate is tested for his personality using three different tests namely psychology, GTO and personal interview. 

The new ‘De Novo Selection System’, which has been designed by Defence Institute of Psychological Research (DIPR) over five years, will accomplish the SSB testing in three days.
The De Novo Selection System is being tried at an SSB in Bangalore.
Objectives are as follows:-

The need for De Novo Selection System

  • To reduce the time at SSB which is 5 days now.
  • To assess more candidates by reducing the time.
  • New testing as per the current ideologies and society.
  • Modern techniques of behavioral testing are available and can be implemented easily.
  • To reduce the deficiency of officers in the armed forces.
  • We still have a deficiency of 9000 officers in the Defence Services. The system will help in reduction of this deficiency.
  • Reduce the burden on Armed Forces as they can conduct only 5 batches in a month now.
 “We realize that the period of generational change has shrunk and the type of aspirants now changes dramatically within a decade, unlike earlier. The post-1990 generation is a 
post-globalization generation, whose analytical and cognitive abilities have gone up. The
level of intellectual propensity is different, so are their expectations, not to forget the
changes in the value system,”  – A Senior DRDO Official.

De Novo Selection System

  • It will accomplish the SSB testing in 03 days.
  • New techniques of behavioral testing will be implemented.
  • It will also make a fair and transparent system by minimizing human subjectivity and reduce the long lead time and time taken for SSB and medicals.
  • It will make the selection process convenient for the candidates.
  • All the 3 testing techniques will be there with modifications.
  • In this new selection system, the Psychological tests and Screening may be conducted online.
SSB is nothing but a rejection system which rejects 90 students out of 100 to select 10 candidates. 
However, this system will come into effect in 2019 if approved
