Hello,

The merit list that is published after the SSB highlighting the marks are the total marks the candidate has secured after the OTA Examination + Marks secured in SSB Interview.

• SSB Marking System-

------There Are Three Assessors, Wherein Each Will Assess From 300 Marks I.E. Medical Test, GTO (Group Task) And Personal Interview (PI). One has to Score Minimum 90 From Each Assessor. The total marks of SSB Is 900. It Is Further Divided Into 4 Parts ( Psychology, GTO, Interview And Conference Round) I.E 900/4= 225 Marks for each Test Phase. Out Of This 225 marks, You need to get Minimum 90 marks to get A "Yes" from either of the assessors and getting less than 90 marks simply means "No".

------ During First, 4 Days of SSB interview Includes Screening, Psychological Tests, GTO Tasks And Personal Interview. In this way, The minimum marks you would be required to pass Is 90*3= 270 marks. For Example -

1) One Candidate Gets 80 marks In Interview Round, 70 In GTO Round And 75 In Psychology. The Total Comes To 225 marks.

2) Another candidate gets a total of 250 out of minimum of 270 marks required. Thus, Now Comes The Importance of Conference Round. In the event that Your Marks Are More Than 240, Conference round would decide whether you would be recommended or not.

---- Also I must tell you that there isn't any minimum cut off for SSB interview process.
