This is where things get exciting. Clearing the written exam means you’re shortlisted for the SSB interview, which is one of the most challenging and respected personality assessments in the country.
But before that, you need to take an important step.
Register on Indian Army Portal
All qualified candidates must register online at: 👉 https://joinindianarmy.nic.in
Do this within 2 weeks of the result announcement. If you’ve already registered earlier, you’re good to go.

Documents You’ll Need for SSB Interview
You’ll be asked to bring original certificates for verification. Here’s a quick checklist:

---|---|
Educational Proof | Class 10th & 12th Marksheets/Certificates |
Age Proof | Birth Certificate or Equivalent |
Identity Proof | Aadhaar, PAN Card, or Passport |
Photographs | Passport-size (as per instructions) |

Extra Step for Air Force Aspirants – CPSS Test
If you’re targeting the Air Force Wing, there’s one more test you must pass – the Computerised Pilot Selection System (CPSS).
This test is mandatory and can be attempted only once in your life. So take it seriously and prepare accordingly. Without clearing CPSS, you won’t be eligible for the Air Force flying branch.
