1. PPDT(Picture Perception and description test) SSB Simplified

2. The procedure PPDT is a part of the screening test conducted on Day 1 After the completion of the OIR(Officer Intelligence Rating) test all the candidates are taken into a big hall probably where all can sit Then an officer briefs you about what needs to be done for the PPDT test A hazy picture is shown on the projector screen for 30 seconds Look very carefully at the picture and keep in mind the number of prominent characters, their age and mood, items visible in the scene and the background

3. The PPDT sheet(Download link in the description)

4. What to write in the box You are totally given 5 minutes to fill the box, write the action and the story Draw a dot across all the places on the box which match the position of the characters on the screen On the dot write M for male, F for female and also mention their ages Mention +,-,o for positive,negative,neutral moods of the characters in the picture Encircle the character that you feel is the main character of the story In the space provided for action,write what’s happening in the picture

5. The PPDT sheet (Example)

6. The procedure In the remaining 4 minutes write the story according to your imagination Then there is some time gap where you can just prepare the story that you had written and try telling it in a minute. Then you are divided into groups and taken into a room and made to sit in a semicircular fashion Every candidate has to tell his story in a minute and if you don’t then the next candidate is asked to continue After all the candidates have spoken the discussion starts

7. What all can be spoken about in the discussion…? At first discuss the number of characters in the pictures When everybody agrees to a particular number discuss the age and gender of the characters When this is set, discuss the mood of the characters and later what’s happening in the picture. Then discuss the probable theme of the story. So even if you don’t have anything to speak you can easily talk about the age,sex,mood and the number of characters. Support someone else’s story if its very good. Contribute good points for the discussion

8. Finaly ………. That’s the end of what all happens in PPDT If you have performed well then you get screened in or else………………Better luck next time Remember ,Screening is a process of mass rejection rather than selection so put up your best in the first stage itself and you will enjoy the fruits.
