    hey friend......
    SSB is the next step after clearing CDSE written exam.
    CDSE is combined defense service exam and SSB is staff selection board.
    CDSE written exam takes place biannualy.
    through this exams condidates are selected for NAVAL, AIRFORCE, ARMY according to the preferences given by the applicant and also depends on its performance in the written exam.
    if you clear the written exam then you will be called for the SSB by the departement for which you had qualified.
    Then you have to go to the SSB board when a callletter comes to your address from the department.
    This is total 5 days task.
    elimination round will be there on the first and last day only.
    on the 1st day there will be screening and for the selected condidates there will be different task on the coming days.
    if you cleared the SSB then your selection is not confirmed, after that there will be merit list.
    if your name comes in merit list then your selection is confirmed.
    After that you will be called for training.

    Dear applicant,
    -The CDS exams stand for the COMBINED DEFENCE SERVICES.It is an exam conducted by the Union Public Service Commission,twice in an year for the enrollment of candidates into the Indian Military Academy,Naval Academy,Air Force and Officers Training Academy.
    -To ensure that the candidates selected are better deserving ones,the exam is conducted in two legs,namely.
    1. The WRITTEN exams-All eligible candidates appear for these exam.They receive an admit card,and get to the examination hall to give the written exam.
    2. The SSB Interview-
    This is where the SSB comes into place.The candidates who qualify the written exams are called in for a 5-day interview period.
    ~SSB stands for STAFF SELECTION BOARD.
    ~This board conducts a series of physical,mental and psychological tests,which the candidates coming from the written tests,have to undergo.
    ~The board consists of panel member who are eager to test the candidates in the best and toughest way possible to see whether they would be able to serve the nation or not.
    ~The SSB is formed by almost all the exams as such,as NDA and TES,to test the candidates under all conditions.
    -Hence,clearly CDS is just another exam conducted by the UPSC.It is conducted bi-annually.For all notifications,you need to visit the official website of the UPSC :
    www.upsc.gov.in
    -On the other hand,SSB is just a panel of members,who test the candidates,in methods aplenty,to see whether they deserve a post in Indian Defence or not.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    the difference between CDSE (Combined Defence Services Examination) and SSB (Staff Selection Board) is that CDSE is an entrance examination for joining forces after graduation and SSB is a selection Board formed for selecting candidates among the written qualified candidates of first stage of CDSE on the grounds of their physical and mental toughness.SSB is a part of CDSE recruitment procedure but the most important and critical part of CDSE.

    Thank you and all the best

    CDS stands for the combined defence services examination.
    SSB stands for the service selection board.
    SSB is conducted when a candidates qualify the CDS written examination, so it is a second step of a selection procedure .
    So the first step is Written examination.
    Second step will be the SSB interview.
    And the final step will be Medical examination .
    So the difference between all these have been cleared now.
    If you like to apply for the CDS exam then see the eligibility criteria.
    Graduate in any discipline from a recognised university is eligible for the indian army.
    Graduate in physics and maths is eligible for the air force and navy.
    Age should be -
    AFA 19 to 23.
    INA 19 to 22.
    OTA 19 to 25.
    IMA 19 to 24.
    So if you like to apply for the same then fulfil the criteria i have already mentioned the selection procedure.

    CDSE is Comibined Defence Services Examination and it is organised by UPSC every year for recruiting officers in Army, Air Force and Navy.

    SSB is Service Selection Board take the interview for recruiting officer in Indian Defence. If you want to become an officer in Indian Defence then you have to face this stage.

    SSB is of 5 days duration and it has various tests like psychological tests, Group Task Tests and Interview. This test is done to evaluate your officer like qualities in candidates. If you score good marks in SSB then you will have very good chance of getting selected.
