Importance of Dressing well for SSB interview
1.A candidate who is dressed well definitely creates first good impression on interviewing officer. It indicates that the candidate looks after himself well and is motivated to do well in life. Remember if you can’t look after yourself well then how will you look after your men as a leader and SSB is looking for potential leaders.
2.There are following points that you need to keep in mind for dressing well for the interview:-
– Wear a light color plain/ striped or checkered shirt with dark color trouser.
– Shirt and trouser should be neat and well ironed.
– Shirt should be neatly tucked in and should not be hanging loose.
– Wear a Coat if it is cold and along with it, it is advisable / preferable to put on a tie. Otherwise wearing of tie is optional.

– Avoid wearing jeans/ sports shoes and flowery shirt for the interview as it is a formal occasion.
– Put on leather shoes with matching belt
