SSB interview schedule and academy-wise timelines
SSB detailing is staggered. Candidates for IMA, Navy, and Air Force are usually scheduled in February to March 2027. OTA batches follow by the second week of May 2027. If no call letter arrives by these dates, write to the respective headquarters. Army‑preference candidates should also register on the Recruiting Directorate portal.
CDS 2 document checklist and attestation rules
Carry originals and self‑attested photocopies. Mandatory proofs include matriculation certificate for date of birth, degree or provisional degree with all marksheets, and valid photo identification. Submit photocopies only after Stage II is cleared. Bring claimed NCC certificates and recent passport photos. Keep soft copies ready for quick reprints at the selection centre.
Medical exam standards and frequent unfit reasons
Medical checks follow the Joint Order Manual of Medical Standards. Tattoo placement is restricted to the inner forearm and dorsal hand. Frequent unfit reasons include flat feet, active varicose veins, and significant vision defects. Book a pre‑SSB eye, foot, and vascular screening if unsure, as appeal timelines are tight.
