SSB Medical Test Rules: Temporary Rejection & Permanent Rejection

During the SSB (Services Selection Board) medical examination, candidates are assessed to determine if they meet the medical standards required for the Armed Forces. The medical board can declare a candidate as Fit, Temporarily Unfit (Temporary Rejection), or Permanently Unfit (Permanent Rejection).

1. Temporary Rejection (Temporarily Unfit – TR)

If a candidate has a minor medical issue that can be treated or resolved within a certain period, they are given a Temporary Rejection (TR) status. The candidate is allowed to recover and reappear for a medical review.

Common Reasons for Temporary Rejection:

Process for Temporary Rejection:

  1. Candidates receive a TR status and a specific period (usually 42–90 days) for treatment and recovery.
  2. After the period, they report to the medical board for a Review Medical Examination (RME).
  3. If they pass the RME, they are declared medically fit.
  4. If they still do not meet the standards, they receive a Permanent Rejection.

2. Permanent Rejection (Permanently Unfit – PR)

If a candidate has a permanent medical condition that cannot be corrected or is not acceptable for military service, they are given a Permanent Rejection (PR) status.

Common Reasons for Permanent Rejection:

Process for Permanent Rejection:

  1. Candidates who receive a PR status cannot reapply for defense services.
  2. They may apply for an Appeal Medical Board (AMB) within a specified period if they believe the decision was incorrect.
  3. The Final Medical Board (FMB) decision is binding.
