How To Get Recommended by ISSB?
Important Tips & Tricks To Get Recommended by ISSB

As you know about the ISSB Routine the candidates under go three examination processes:

1. Psychological (tested by ISSB psychologist)
2. Physical Tests (tested by ISSB GTO)
3. Intellectual Tests and GK (tested by ISSB deputy president)

In order to get recommended by the ISSB, a candidate need to get recommendation votes in at least 2 of the examination tests, one of which should be the psychologist’s vote.
