GROUP TESTING OFFICER

What are GTO tasks?

  GTO is the last test of the second phase, which is conducted on 3rd and 4th day of SSB.

GTO tasks stands for Group Testing Officer tasks. The name itself specifies it’s meaning that an officer will going to test a group of candidates for assessing their personality traits by giving them tasks. This test is totally different from the last test (Psychology) but the idea is same i.e. to unearth some more personality traits of the candidate and to take the confirmation of those personality traits which have already been assessed by the psychologist.

Group Testing Officer is the only one who remains in touch with the candidates for the next two days. The GTO tasks sounds more like a game rather than a test, but playing these tasks requires a great dealt of OLQs.  Moreover, the atmosphere of the GTO tasks gives the feeling of playing a game in the minds of the aspiring candidates. Of course, like any other game GTO tasks are also to be completed with discipline and by adhering the rules and regulations communicated by the Group Testing Officer.
