How Group Planning Exercise (GPE) is Conducted In SSB Interview

Procedure To Conduct GPE

• GTO explains the candidates a model on wooden plank, and at the end of the explanation candidates are permitted to ask any question.
• Now GTO reads a story from the card, and candidates need to pay attention while he reads this.
• Now after reading the story GTO allows each candidate to read story for five minutes from story cards placed on their chairs & co-relate it with the model. Make mental picture of everything because after five minutes these story cards are taken away from you.
• Now candidates are asked to write their own solution to various problems on a sheet of paper. Time allowed is ten minutes.
• After ten minutes the writing sheet is taken away and the group is expected to discuss and arrive at a common plan for the problem and then nominate a person to say the group plan to the GTO.
