TIPS TO WRITE GENUINE SELF DESCRIPTIONS FOR SSB INTERVIEW

At times the psychologist may not be directly from the armed forces as well. In total there are thirteen Service Selection Boards across India, out of which four boards are for the Indian Army, four boards are for Indian Air Force, and five boards for the Indian Navy. SSB is a 5 days evaluation process.
