I know many of the students have this question in their mind that. whether their present or past backlog will affect their SSB interview or not!
To be honest, in most of the Entries it is mentioned that you should not have a current backlog when joining the academy.
So, in that case, “yes” is an answer. That yes you can appear with a backlog for SSB interview.
But as soon as you will enter the SSB center, your documents would be verified and then there itself the assessors will get to know whether you are having a current backlog or not!
