INDIVIDUAL OBSTACLES

Individual Obstacles is the first task of the GTO-2 Day. The aim of the Task is to see the candidate’s stamina, boldness and courage apart from all the OLQs.

There are ten obstacles with different levels of difficulty. The number on each obstacle painted on the board near the obstacles , indicates the marks allocated for that obstacle.

There are a total of 10 Obstacles and the time limit to do these obstacles is 3 minutes. The total marks are 55( i.e. 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 = 55).

The obstacle with highest level of difficulty carries 10 marks while the obstacle with lowest level of difficulty carries one mark. If a candidate is able to clear all obstacles in less than 3 m, he can repeat the obstacles of his choice once to earn bonus points.The obstacles are laid out in an irregular manner on the ground, the candidate has to plan his own course of action.

Briefing & conduct BY G.T.O :-

In this G.T.O. takes the candidates to all the obstacles and tells the rules to be followed. The candidate should work out the sequence in which he would like to attempt the obstacles keeping in mind his own level of fitness.

While attempting the task, in case the candidate violates any rule, he should just repeat the tasks.

The candidates are advised to sit on a bench facing away from the Task, so that they are not able to observe the candidate who is attempting the task.

Rules of Individual Obstacles:-

The G.T.O calls the first candidate (based on chest numbers) and instructs him to be ready for the task. When he blows the whistle the first Candidate will begin the task. After 2.30 minutes the GTO blows a short whistle which is the sign for the candidate who is doing obstacle that his time is getting over and also to the next person to come and be ready for the task.Thereafter at 3 mins the GTO blows the whistle to indicate the completion of the task by the first candidate and the start of the obstacle course of the second candidate.
