HISTORY OF ISSB:
Following Bangladesh’s independence, it was deemed necessary to establish a selection committee for choosing officers for the armed forces. Army first took the initiative, and the Army Selection Board was established in 1974 as a result. Similar to how candidates for the Bangladesh Army and Bangladesh Air Force were previously chosen by separate boards at the respective service headquarters. In 1976, the Inter Services Selection Board (ISSB) was created by uniting all the selection boards. Since its creation, the primary responsibility of ISSB has been to choose candidates for Bangladesh’s armed forces.
⦁ Finding the proper candidate for the job is a complicated topic. When it comes to the armed forces, it becomes much more complicated because doing so necessitates the sacrifice of human life for the greater good. Selection in the defence organisation has undergone numerous alterations over time. The “Method of Heredity” is one of the techniques that has been utilised for centuries and is still employed in some nations today. Due to its intrinsic benefit of ensuring that their family’s position at the top of the power structure is maintained, this strategy was popular under autocratic government. Then, when the learned and wiseAs the general public matured, the heredity technique lost favour. As a result, the traditional idea of “Blue Blood” was replaced by efficiency and appropriateness. The new comprehensive selection procedure allows people to compete for crucial positions today, including those in the military forces.
⦁ In the years between the two World Wars, trials were conducted to develop a mechanism for enlisting persons who were qualified. In this procedure, the US Army implemented the Intelligence Test around the close of World War One. Germany then started using psychological testing starting in 1927 to rebuild its war-ravaged armed forces. As a result, the German Army received personnel of higher calibre. Three-dimensional assessment of applicants for selection emerged towards the conclusion of the Second World War after considerable experimentation. Nowadays, most nations, including Bangladesh, use this method of selection.
