Exam Overview-

 

Indian Coast Guard is an excellent opportunity for those who want to join the Para-Military force and live a life full of adventure and fun. Indian Coast Guard announces its vacancies twice a year for the post of Assistant Commandant through which you can join the Indian Coast Guard as officer. The selection process of ICG is in many ways similar to the SSB Interview process but it differs at some points. Let us see what exactly is the process for the selection of Indian Coast Guard. The selection is conducted in four stages.

Indian Coast Guard Interview Process (PSB and FSB)

1. Short Listing of applications: This is the first stage of the selection procedure. In this the applications are shortlisted and the shortlisted candidates are called for the further process.
2. Preliminary Selection Board Interview: This is the first stage after the shortlisting of applications. It can be conducted at any of the centers which are Kolkata, Noida, Mumbai, and Chennai. It is conducted in two phases;
   • The first phase is the Reasoning test. In this test the candidates are made to sit in a hall and then the questions are given on the projector screen, you have to mark the answers on an OMR sheet. Once a question goes there is no chance that you can go back to it. You are advised to take blue/black ball point. Be careful while marking the answers. It is an elimination test of duration around 40-60 minutes. The results are declared after 2-3 hours of this test and the successful candidates only are called for the further tests.
   • The second phase is the PP&DT or the Picture perception and Description Test. This is same like the test conducted in the SSB Interview. You are advised to be careful and observe the picture shown very minutely. You have to see the picture for 30 seconds and then write the details like age, mood, sex etc. of the characters seen. You have to write a story based on the characters seen in the picture. Then a discussion test follows. Where you are divided in groups of 15-20 candidates and each candidate has to narrate his/her own story then the group discusses and arrives at a common group story. After this also the candidates are shortlisted and then the shortlisted candidates get a call for the Final Selection Board.
3. Final Selection Board Interview: This is a four day test which is conducted only in the Noida Center. It follows the same pattern of the SSB Interview after screening procedure. This is a personality test in which three assessors assess the candidate. The Psychology Tests happen on the first day, the GT Tests may happen on second and third day, interviews may be scheduled on any of the four days and on the fourth day Board Conference is held after which results are announced.
4. The psychologist tests the candidate through the means of psych tests which consist of Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), Word Association Test (WAT), Situation Reaction Test (SRT) and Self-Description Test (SDT). The candidate’s response in these tests helps the psychologist to understand the personality of the candidate and decide his suitability for the job.
5. The Next Assessor is the Group Testing Officer or the GTO which tests the candidates based on their practical group and individual performance. The tests conducted in the Coast Guard are two group discussion, one group planning exercise and lecturette. You are advised to be agile and enthusiastic throughout the GT Series.
6. The next assessor is the Interviewing Officer. He tests the candidate based on the response he/she given in the personal interview, which is a one on one interview. The personal interview questions may range from the personal sphere of a candidate to the day-today happenings in the world.
7. The final day a board conference is held where all the three assessors along with the board president sit and the candidates appear one by one, each is asked some general questions related to stay and food etc. After the conference the result is declared.
8. Medical and Merit: After the results the successful candidates are sent for medicals, if they have applied for flying pilot then they are sent for Pilot Aptitude and Battery Test (PABT) at AFSB Dehradun or AFSB Mysore. The final Merit list decides the final selection.

SSB Interview Day 1: Screening Process

The 1st day of the SSB Interview comprises different Tests. They are discussed below:

1. OIR (Officer Intelligence Rating Test) - Paper 1 and Paper 2

OIR Tests are conducted with two banks of questions covering both verbal and nonverbal reasoning. Candidates had to write their answers down in the past, however, today OMR sheets are provided for marking the solutions. The number of questions in each set and the time permitted for each set vary, so pay close attention to the instructor's pre-test briefing.

2. PP&DT (Picture Perception & Description Test) 

First, candidates will be shown a picture (mainly blurry/hazy) for 30 seconds, after which they will have one minute to report their observations, including the number of characters, their genders, their moods, and the action that is occurring in the picture. Then they will have four and a half minutes to compose a tale based on their findings.

3. Group Discussion (GD)

The batch is divided into groups of 10 to 15 aspirants, and each aspirant must share their experience before the group can come to a decision.

SSB Interview Day 2: Psychological Tests

1. Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)

Candidates are given 4 minutes to construct a story after being shown 12 photos, 1 of which is blank. The time restriction is put in place to assess each Aspirant's innate response.

2. Word Association Test (WAT)

The Aspirants are required to jot down a sentence that comes to mind when they see each of the 60 words that are presented to them for 15 seconds at a time.

3. Situation Reaction Test (SRT)

A booklet is given to the Aspirants with 60 real-life situations; they must write their reactions to those situations. The total duration of this exercise is 30 minutes.

4. Self-Description Test (SDT)

Candidates must provide a brief self-description of the context in a few paragraphs. Write about your parents', instructors', friends', and other people's opinions as well as the traits you want to cultivate. This test has a 15-minute time limit.

SSB Interview Day 3: Group Testing Officers Tests

1. Group Discussion (GD)

The GTO first presents two themes for the first GD, from which the group selects one before exchanging opinions. The GTO provides a topic for the second GD, after which the same process is repeated. The group does not need to reach a decision in this instance.

2. Group Planning Exercise (GPE)

Using a map of the location, the GTO describes a situation where there are a number of issues. The candidates then have 10 minutes to write their solutions using all of their resources, including their group. The group then confers a strategy for resolving the issues, which is then described by one of the participants.

3. Progressive Group Task (PGT)

This challenge consists of four different obstacle courses, each of which gets harder as it goes along. The group is expected to proceed and take on these buildings utilizing their available aid, such as a rope, plank, balli, etc. There is also a load that needs to be carried. The group is required to abide by all GTO guidelines, which include:

(a) Rule of Color

• White refers to both people and things.
• Blue denotes a guy only.
• Red is off-limits to everyone.

(b) The ground is off-limits to everyone.

(c) Rigidity Rule: Helping materials may be attached to the structures but not to one another.

(d) Rule Of Infinity: The start and end lines extend to infinity i.e can’t be crossed directly 

(e) Distance Rule: No distance greater than  4 feet can be jumped.

4. Group Obstacle Race (GOR)/ Snake Race

A sprint across four obstacles, including a single ramp jump, eight-shaped bars, a 10-foot wall, a double wall, a spider web, and an enormous slide, is one of the most enjoyable activities in the entire procedure. Red should not be touched by either a snake or my man, according to the guidelines. When navigating obstacles, the snake must be handled by a minimum of three people, and the GTO may apply a time penalty for infractions.

5. Half Group Task (HGT)

Similar To PGT, But With Only Two People In The Group And One Obstacle To Overcome.

 

SSB Interview Day 4: Personal Interview

1. Lecturette

The lecturette is a test of your self-assurance in front of a group of onlookers. Each officer is responsible for leading his men, inspiring them, and explaining the strategy. For this, you need to speak and sing with assurance. The SSB panel administers a test in GTO known as the lectures to verify all of these.

2. Individual Obstacles (IO)

The candidate must successfully navigate all 10 obstacles, each of which will provide a different score as displayed on them. The candidate may repeat the challenges, but only once he has cleared all 10. The 10 tasks are shown below with their respective scores.

• Jumping over a single ramp   (1)
• Jump over a Double Barrel    (2)

3. Command Task (CT)

The GTO calls each task candidate, in turn, selecting them at random, before asking them a series of questions and outlining a task resembling the PGT. Then he requests that the commander who is up for the job contact two of his team members as subordinates to assist him in getting past the obstruction.

4. Final Group Task (FGT)

As suggested by the name, the entire group is again given one obstacle that is comparable to PGT, which they must clear together.

5. Personal Interview (PI)

Any of the three days, following the conclusion of the examinations for that day, may be used for the personal interview. The interviewing officer asks the student a variety of questions about his family, academics, involvement in sports and extracurricular activities, hobbies and interests, responsibilities, and general knowledge including knowledge of the forces, personal life, etc. based on information provided by the student in his PIQ (Personal Information Questionnaire). 

The average interview lasts for 40 minutes, while some may go for an hour or even just 5 minutes.

 

ICG(PSB+FSB) Day 5: Conference Day

The Final Day is the Conference Day in the 5-Day ICG(PSB+FSB) The assessor gives a final address before the conference of aspirants gets underway. All the officers who evaluated the Aspirants the previous days attend a board session that is held. Each assessor talks amongst themselves about a candidate's suitability.

The committee then makes recommendations after each Aspirant makes an individual appearance before the board and their overall evaluation is described. Situations are presented to the borderline Aspirants, and a group decision is made. The shortlisted applicants are kept on after the outcome is revealed for additional medical exams.

MKC 14 Day ICG(PSB+FSB) Training

 

Complete Marking Scheme For ICG(PSB+FSB)

A minimum of 90 points must be obtained from each assessor. SSB has a total of 900 points. It is then divided into four parts (psychology, GTO, interview, and conference round), with each test phase receiving 900/4=225 marks.

ICG(PSB+FSB) Marking Scheme: Points To Be Noted 

• The Services Selection Board has backup marks of 225, and they began probing you in the conference round because they thought you were lacking in several areas. 
• If they deem you fit, they will award you points to raise your cumulative score from the previous 240 to 360 or above (marks As Mentioned Above). 
• As a result, you receive a minimum passing score of 360 (90X4). Furthermore, you get finally recommended.
• If an assessor is uncertain about the evaluation of an applicant during the psychology test, he might consult another assessor. The GTO or the IO cannot use the option of getting a second opinion because they must evaluate a candidate's OLQs in real-time.
• If someone is on the verge of receiving a third assessment but is recommended by two assessors, a review is conducted during a conference. In any event, if a psychologist does not deem someone suitable, they are not at all suggested.
• All of these aspects of your personality are put together on the day of the conference to determine whether or not the applicant is qualified to serve as an officer in the armed forces.
• Therefore, developing your thinking is the key to getting high marks. The SSB's selection procedure is based on methodologies that evaluate candidates in light of the needs of the armed services. As a result, practice diligently and get ready for each SSB phase.
