The SSB stage of CDS is comparably more challenging than the written stage. It is tough due to the following reasons:
1. The SSB process lasts for six days, which makes it appear tough to crack.
2. With every test, candidates get rejected; this creates psychological pressure on aspirants.
3. More than knowledge, your suitability for defense is tested, which makes SSB unpredictable in nature.
4. You cannot prepare for the SSB with traditional books; instead, you need to appear in mock SSBs.
5. There are psychological and group tests, which make it difficult to be pre-prepared
However, with proper dedication and focused preparation, you can clear this stage.
