Our Faculty Ran SSBs — They Didn't Just Clear Them

Most SSB institutes are run by candidates who cleared SSB once, years ago. The Cavalier's faculty were the Interviewing Officer, the GTO, and the Psychologist at real SSBs. They have assessed hundreds of candidates from the other side of the table. That difference is everything.

What is SSB

Services Selection Board Interview

A 5-day selection process at one of India's nine SSBs — the only gateway to become a commissioned officer in the Army, Navy, or Air Force.

🎯

What SSB Assesses

SSB tests 15 Officer Like Qualities (OLQs) grouped into three factors — Social Effectiveness, Dynamic Qualities, and Integration & Stability. These cannot be memorised or rehearsed — they must be genuinely developed and demonstrated consistently over 5 days.

📋

Who Appears at SSB

Any candidate who clears the written exam for NDA, CDS, AFCAT, TES, ACC, NCC Special Entry, or any other commissioned entry is called for SSB. The SSB stage is identical regardless of entry — same 5-day process, same three assessors.

📊

SSB Success Rate in India

The national average SSB selection rate is approximately 1 in 40 candidates. Most failures are not due to lack of capability — they're due to under-preparation for the psychology tests and poor understanding of what is actually being assessed.

🏅

After SSB Recommendation

Recommended candidates proceed to a Medical Board. Those declared fit appear on the Merit List. Final selection depends on merit list rank and vacancy availability. The Cavalier prepares you for the SSB stage — and helps you understand the full pipeline.

Why The Cavalier

What Makes Our SSB Coaching Different

There is only one reason to choose The Cavalier for SSB — our faculty ran the assessments. Everything else follows from that.

01 — INTERVIEWING OFFICER

Real PI Feedback from a Retired IO

Brig Sandeep Mohla was the Interviewing Officer at 33 SSB Jalandhar. He conducted hundreds of Personal Interviews as an assessor. When he reviews your PI answers, he tells you exactly what an IO is looking for — because he was one.

02 — GTO TASKS

GTO Training by a Retired GTO

Col DN Sharma served as Senior GTO at both 19 SSB Allahabad and 17 SSB Bangalore. He has observed thousands of candidates on the GTO grounds. He knows every mistake candidates make — because he assessed them.

03 — PSYCHOLOGY

Psychology Tests Decoded by the Psychologist

Col Vijayant Thakur was the Psychologist at 20 SSB Bhopal. WAT, TAT, SRT, SDT — he evaluated these tests for years. He teaches you how to express your genuine officer qualities in the format that psychological assessment actually recognises.

04 — MOCK SSB

Full 5-Day Mock SSB Simulation

The third week of our programme is a complete mock SSB — same schedule, same structure, same assessors. Individual feedback across all three dimensions: psychology, GTO, and interview. Post-interview analysis and guidance included.

05 — OLQ DEVELOPMENT

OLQ Development, Not OLQ Coaching

We do not teach you what to say. We identify which of your 15 Officer Like Qualities are strong and which need development — and we work on them systematically over 3 weeks, not in a weekend crash course.

06 — REPEAT ATTEMPTS

Special Guidance for Repeat Attempt Candidates

Screened out or not recommended before? The Cavalier runs a dedicated analysis session for repeat candidates — identifying the specific OLQ gaps that led to your previous result and designing a targeted preparation plan.

07 — DAILY PT

Daily Physical Training & Games

Structured PT sessions and sports activities every day. SSB assesses stamina, coordination, and physical presence — not just intelligence. Daily PT builds the physical baseline that your GTO performance depends on.

08 — SMALL BATCHES

Only 25 Candidates Per Batch

Every batch is capped at 25. That means individual attention from Brig Mohla on your PI, from Col Sharma on your GTO performance, and from Col Thakur on your psychology tests — not generic group feedback.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about SSB and The Cavalier's coaching programme.

What is the SSB interview process? ▾
SSB is a 5-day selection process. Day 1 is Stage 1 — OIR test and PPDT. Only those who pass Stage 1 proceed. Stage 2 (Days 2–4) covers Psychology tests (TAT, WAT, SRT, SDT), GTO outdoor tasks (group discussion, planning exercise, group tasks, individual obstacles, command task, lecturette), and Personal Interview with a retired IO. Day 5 is the Conference where all three assessors discuss each candidate.
Who are the faculty at The Cavalier SSB programme? ▾
Three retired officers: Brig Sandeep Mohla SM (Ex-President and Interviewing Officer, 33 SSB Jalandhar), Col DN Sharma (Senior GTO, 19 SSB Allahabad and 17 SSB Bangalore), and Col Vijayant Thakur (Psychologist, 20 SSB Bhopal). All three served at actual SSBs as assessors — not as candidates. This is the single most important difference between The Cavalier and every other SSB coaching institute in Delhi.
How long is the SSB coaching programme? ▾
The SSB Intensive is 2 + 1 weeks. The first two weeks cover all Stage 2 components in depth — psychology test practice, GTO task training, and Personal Interview preparation. The third week is a full 5-day mock SSB with individual feedback from all three officers. A standalone 5-day Mock SSB is also available for candidates who have already done some preparation.
I was screened out / not recommended before. Will this help? ▾
Yes — and The Cavalier specifically addresses repeat attempt candidates. We run a dedicated analysis session to identify which OLQ gaps led to your previous result. For screened-out candidates, we work on Stage 1 (OIR + PPDT) intensively. For not-recommended candidates, we identify whether the gap was in psychology, GTO, or PI — and target that specifically.
Does SSB coaching work or is it just about the person? ▾
SSB assesses Officer Like Qualities — and OLQs can be developed, not just discovered. The Cavalier's approach is not to rehearse answers or fake personality — it is to genuinely develop the qualities being assessed (initiative, social adaptability, effective intelligence, stamina, courage) through structured tasks and feedback from officers who actually know what they look like.
Where is The Cavalier located? ▾
C-73, Inner Ring Road, Marble Market, Sharda Puri, Rajouri Garden, New Delhi – 110015. Easy access from all major metro stations in West and Central Delhi. Hostel referrals available for outstation students. Call us at +91 98186 32779.
