How to clear PPDT in SSB Interview?

How to pass the PPDT in the SSB interview? Picture Perception and Discussion Test This is a test taken on the first day of the SSB interview which is a part of the screening process. In simple words, when a candidate goes for SSB interview, the tests on the first day, including the PPDT, are part of Stage 1 tests. This is because 90% of the people are excluded on the first day. That's why the first day is also called Screening Test. As soon as the candidate reaches the selection center, their do

cuments are verified. This process is called Documentation in SSB. When all the documents are in order, the candidate is allotted a chest number. The candidates go to a hall, where OIR booklets are given for their intelligence test. OIR booklets contain 45 to 55 questions, and by practicing with the SSB OIR book, you can cover the entire syllabus for this test. OIR stands for Officer Intelligence Rating, a test developed by the DIPR, which is part of DRDO. This book is the benchmark for OIR as i

t covers the entire syllabus of the test. You can order the SSB OIR book from Amazon and Flipkart. As soon as the OIR test is over, the candidates are given booklets and they have to sit there. Then an officer gives a briefing of PPDT test to all the candidates. In every selection center, the briefing of the PPDT test is a little different. Time may be allotted separately. Some different instructions can be given for the PPDT observation. And many more. However, the PPDT, or Picture Perception D

iscussion Test, has a briefing like this. Then the lights dim and you begin observing the picture. This blurry image will be visible to you for only 30 seconds. and the projector will stop. This is why it is called the Picture Perception and Discussion Test because you have to observe the picture carefully and create a story based on it within these 30 seconds. Actually, you will not get any time to think about the story because you can start writing as soon as the picture goes dim. And believe

me, completing a story in just 30 seconds is challenging. And most candidates struggle to finish the story as they had intended. So mastering the elements of PPDT and the art of story writing is crucial, as you will have to learn to do it quickly. By the way, there is no specific information provided about PPDT anywhere, and the general guidelines are quite ambiguous. This is why DDE has introduced the PPDT Narration and GD Guidebook to help you prepare effectively for the PPDT tests. In the PPD

T Narration and GD Guidebook, the story formation technique is explained step by step so that you can practice and adopt a writing style. Every element has been explained in detail in the PPDT Narration and GD Guidebook because everyone has doubts about how many characters should be there, who should be the hero, who should always be in a positive mood, and if the scene is negative, then include both male and female characters. Why is the story written? And how many words should there be? People

will definitely tell you to write this in the story, not that. But no one will ever tell you the origin of the PPDT, its creator, or its purpose. This test originated from Harvard, USA. And this reveals the thoughts of an individual that they might be reluctant to share face-to-face. Understanding the personality by looking inside the mind. Psychologists use it for therapy, as depicted in various movies and TV shows. Anyway, in SSB interviews, it serves a different purpose. Like giving less tim

e to think and write than the limited time so that the responses are original and the psychologist can understand your personality through the story. In this book, you will also understand why we do what we see, think, perceive. What changes should we bring in our daily lifestyle and habits to enhance our perception for PPDT. Not only that, this book also includes games and exercises to help you understand yourself from the perspectives of your parents, siblings, and friends, and to introspect o

n your personality traits. In the SSB interview, which elements are considered to be pure and why? You will encounter numerous pre-written stories and also comprehend the writer's perspective on why they were composed. The authentic PPDT images sourced from various SSB centers are provided for practice. In PPDT, you will encounter various tests. The first one is story writing, which we have already discussed. The second test in PPDT is narration, where you present your written story to the group

. The third one is group discussion. After the PPDT test is over, the candidates are called out to the open area and after some time they are divided into groups. And there are psychologists, interviewing officers and GTOs. Each of these three also has a copy of your written story. Because it's been a while since you have written a story and you don't have a story in front of you, so now you have to narrate your story in front of everyone. Psychologists observe the differences between your writt

en story and the story you narrate. The interviewing officer assesses your ability to narrate the story. and starts the group discussion. After narrating your story, the group must collaborate to form a consensus on a single story. Now that everyone has written their own story, how do you make a meaningful story? The interviewing officer looks at this group discussion very carefully and you are assessed. All the PPDT tests of stage 1 are over. Even today, the specifics of the screening process i

n SSB interviews, including the PPDT, remain confidential. Today, let's unveil this mystery. There are four tests in stage 1. The first is OIR, where there is no negative marking and a good score increases your chances of screening. Then there are three tests in PPDT. Story writing, Narration, Group discussion. If you perform well in Story writing, Narration, or Group discussion and your OIR score is above average, then you will be selected. To excel in OIR, practice is key, but for PPDT, enhanc

ing your personality traits is crucial. So, I would suggest you to read this PPDT guide written by Colonel Anshu Trivedi, former SSB President of Bangalore. If you have not received a call letter for SSB interview, you can start working on your personality from this short book. Because personality not only develops in a few weeks, but also with time.
