Guidelines

Standardized Operating Procedures & Compliance Framework for ISSB Candidates

At ISSB, we look for alert and motivated candidates who have the ability to successfully complete the long, challenging, and detailed training required for all newly commissioned officers. The Selection Board looks for qualities such as clear thinking, the ability to stay calm under stress, teamwork skills, and a willingness to participate. We don't want you to display rashness or aggression; neither do we want you to be dull or spiritless. Be honest, straightforward and frank. Don't display over-consciousness, false projection or superficial behavior. Over the years, many private institutions and coaching centers have been established in the country to train candidates for passing ISSB tests. You are advised not to join these for training and guidance. The training imparted in these centers is too restricted and brings in rigidity in thought process. A detailed video documentary is being uploaded which can serve as a detailed guideline for candidates, you are advised to make full use of it.
