Types Of Individual Obstacles In SSB Interview

1. Jumping over a slide: The simplest task, worth 1 point. You need to run on an inclined slope and jump across a line marked approximately 4 feet from the end of the slope.
2. Long jump: This task involves jumping across a 6 ft. by 3 ft. drum. The length is slightly less for girls.
3. High jump: A straightforward 3 ft. high jump. You can use any style to make the jump, and there will be sand on the other side to prevent injuries from falls.
4. Zig-Zag Balance: This task requires walking over a zig-zag balance and landing properly. It is not used in the air force.
5. Walking a wooden log: Walking on a cylindrical log that is approximately 6 ft. long and 4 ft. above the ground level.
6. High Screen jump: Candidates need to run over a slide and jump over a screen placed after the slide.
7. Jumping platforms: Climb a 12 ft. platform and take two jumps. The first jump is to a lower platform at 8 ft. from the ground, and the second jump is to the ground.
8. Burma bridge: Walk between two ropes for a distance of 25 ft. The ropes will be tied to poles at a height of 10 ft. This obstacle starts shaking as you move, so maintaining body balance is crucial. It is also the most time-consuming task.
9. Tarzan swing: Candidates climb to a platform around 10-12 ft. high, take a rope in hand, swing like Tarzan, and land after a marked point on the ground. This obstacle is not present in the air force.
10. Climbing the wall: Run up an inclined plane and climb over an 8 ft. wooden screen. The recommended approach is to place one foot on top of the wall and roll over to the other side.
11. Jumping platforms: This task can be challenging for those afraid of heights, but it is manageable. You have to climb a 12 ft. platform and take two jumps. The first jump is to a lower platform at 8 ft. from the ground, and the second jump is to the ground.
12. Jumping through a tyre: Jump through a large tyre with your feet first. The tyre is suspended from a post at a height of 5 ft. There is a small loop in the rope that can be used to hold and pull yourself up to get into the tyre. This obstacle is not in the army.
13. Double Ditch: This obstacle consists of two ditches, one measuring 8 ft. by 3 ft. and the other measuring 4 ft. by 3 ft. Candidates need to cross the first ditch using a rope and jump over the second one. It is not used in the air force.
14. Tiger leap: Climb up a 9 ft. platform and leap a distance of 4 ft. to catch hold of a rope, then descend using the rope. It's important to catch the rope at chest level to avoid sliding down and getting cuts. In the air force, the height of the tiger leap is greater than that in the army. In the army, it is worth 10 points, whereas in the air force, it is worth 8 points.
15. Commando walk: This task involves walking from one side to another on a platform while maintaining balance. Sometimes candidates are instructed to shout specific things while standing on the top platform.
16. Monkey crawl: Move along a 25 ft. wooden log suspended from rope suspenders, 3 ft. above the ground level. You can either slide on the log or crawl underneath it using both hands and feet. As soon as you climb on it, the entire setup starts swinging from side to side. It is not used in the army.
17. Tiger leap: Walk up a podium, leap, catch hold of a rope, and then climb down.
18. Rope climbing: Climb up a vertical rope to touch a post at a height of approximately 4 to 5 meters, and then return. It is not used in the army.
