Next Steps After Result
Passing the written exam is the first step. Candidates whose roll numbers appear on the merit list will proceed to the Service Selection Board (SSB) interview.
The SSB interview assesses physical standards, intelligence, and personality. A separate PDF containing names and roll numbers of shortlisted candidates for the SSB interview is usually released about two weeks after the written results.
Eligible candidates must register on the Join Indian Army website (joinindianarmy.nic.in) to receive their interview call letters. This registration should occur within two weeks of the written result announcement.
Individual mark sheets are typically released by the UPSC only after the final selection process is complete, which includes the SSB interview.
