  • Part 3 – English: Tests understanding of English and workmanlike use of words.

The standard of papers will approximately be that expected of a graduate of an Indian university. The Territorial Army Directorate has the discretion to fix qualifying marks in any or all subjects.

  • Stage 2 – SSB (Two-Stage): A two-stage selection procedure based on Psychological Aptitude Test and Intelligence Test is followed at SSBs. All candidates will be put to Stage 1 (Screening) on the first day of reporting. Only those qualifying Stage 1 will be admitted to the Stage 2/remaining tests. Those who fail Stage 1 will be returned.   
  • Final Merit: Male and female candidates will be placed in separate orders of merit based on total marks in CBT and SSB tests combined.
