Service Selection Board (SSB) Preparation
Service Selection Board (SSB) interview is one of the most challenging interview procedures in the world which is conducted over a period of 5 days to select potential candidates as officers in the INDIAN ARMED FORCES.
At MKDEI we believe in grooming over a period of time rather than short term training to the cadets to achieve higher success rates at SSBs. SSB preparation is integrated into the daily routine to ensure progressive and natural development of leadership qualities in our cadets. This is ensured by experienced & highly qualified mentors and a well developed infrastructure.
How do we do it?
- Personal Interaction with and guidance by experienced mentors at the beginning of academic year to identify strengths and weaknesses of each cadet.
- Cadets are then put through different programs to develop/ inculcate leadership qualities.
- Regular two-way feedback of individual cadet to map personal progress.
- Exposure of cadets on each aspect of SSB Interview including conduct of live capsules under qualified and experienced interviewing officer.
