Can I wear black/blue shoes for GTO tasks in SSB Interview?

GTO stands for Group Testing Officer and his job is to judge the candidates’ behaviour among a group. You will receive instructions along with call letter regarding the dress prescribed for GTO tasks and in the instructions, it will be mentioned that the candidate needs to wear White Sports/PT Shoes, White T-Shirt with Collar and White Shorts.

At times we receive a question from candidates that Can I wear shoes of black Colour? or T-Shirt of a colour other than white.

So, in reply to all such questions, we would like to answer that don’t wear Shoes/T-Shirt/Shorts of any other colour. White means White, instructions are there to be followed and in defence not obeying orders is considered as an act of indiscipline.

Friends, please try to understand SSB Interview is one of the lifetime opportunity and not everyone is lucky enough to get it. You will be earning money for your entire life so don’t try to save 200 rupees on a white t-shirt/shorts and 500 rupees on white shoes.

My Shoes/T-shirt/Shorts are not completely white?

At times you may have white shoes but they are not fully white and they have a line or design of any other colour, can you use them for SSB GTO?. Again I would say no, buy a decent pair of white shoes, you can invest the amount in good quality shoes so that they are useful in future also.

PT Shoes or Sports Shoes?

It is suggested that Sports Shoes should be taken, as Sports Shoes are comfortable while running or jumping from a height. 

Another important point that you need to keep in mind is that don’t wear brand new shoes or clothes. As new clothes and shoes take some time to loosen up and brand new clothes/shoes are somewhat uncomfortable to wear for the first time. So, wear clothes and shoes a sufficient number of times before using them in the actual interview.
