My Target Service Selection Board (SSB)
Similarly for the lady candidates also, you are also advised to wear either western formals or
simple salwarkurta. Men can wear dark trousers with light shirt and formal shoes.
o Psychology Test: for this test you can wear anything decent enough.
o Interview: For interview you need a formal pair of clothes. Both for the ladies and the men.
Though sometimes you might be called for the interview immediately after your GTO but make
sure to change your clothes if you even have a few minutes time. Here also, men can wear
formal trouser and shirt and ladies can wear either shirt-trouser or salwar-kurta.
o GTO: For your GT series you need to have a white t shirt. Apart from it ladies can wear either
shorts or track pants which should again be in white color. Men can wear white track pants. A
white track suit will also be suitable. If you have a problem finding pure white clothes get the
ones with around 90% white content. Ladies are allowed to wear white colored salwarkurta as
well.
o Conference: For conference you have wear formal clothes just like interview. You have to
appear in front of the whole board so you need to look presentable and formal.
o General purpose: Carry a night clothing or a suitable night dress for room. For mess premises
also you have to go in decent preferably formal clothes.
o Shoes: Wear formal clothes with formal dress. Wear white sports shoes (if not then shoes with
maximum white content) for GTO. You can’t roam in slippers so carry appropriate shoes to
roam around in the premises.
Some important points:
1. You can carry a pair of jeans and two t shirts for traveling and book out purposes.
2. Not much casual clothing is required as you won’t get chance to wear it so carry clothes
appropriately.
3. You are not required to carry pillow or blanket but do carry one thin sheet for night.
4. In mess you are expected to be in formal clothes so please follow that.
5. Wear decent, mostly semi-formal or formal clothes in the campus all the time.
