Four days that decide your commission
Candidates who clear the initial test, physical and medical for officer entries receive a call letter for ISSB Kohat. The board assesses whether you have the officer-like qualities (OLQs) the Army looks for - leadership, teamwork, courage under pressure and clarity of thought.
- Day 1 - Screening: intelligence tests and group discussion. Screened-out candidates return home the same day with full board hospitality.
- Day 2 - Psychology: Thematic Apperception Test, Word Association, Situation Reaction and Self Description, plus the deputy president’s interview.
- Day 3 - GTO tasks: group planning, progressive group tasks, obstacle race, lecturette, individual obstacles and command task on the outdoor ground.
- Day 4 - Conference & result: every assessor discusses your file, the final conference is held, and results are announced. Recommended candidates proceed to final medical at the Military Hospital.
