FINAL GROUP TASK : The Final Group Task is the last task of GTO. The rules, principles, and the instructions are the same as in the case of PGT. But this long and somewhat more difficult. The aim is to confirm the rank rating of the group. The GTO has already observed all the candidates of his group in the previous tests.  It is just possible that he might have formed a wrong judgment about a prospective candidate or inadvertently given a favorable grading to a less suitable candidate.  To remove this anomaly vis-à-vis the error of judgment, the FGT is given to the candidates. Thus the GTO forms a fair, unbiased and correct judgment of the qualities possessed by each candidate participating in the task.

• The GTO here emphasizes on the candidates the necessity of putting in their best as this is the last test and, as a matter of fact, the last opportunity in the case of some candidates to regain the lost ground.  In fact, this test can be a deciding factor in the case of certain marginal candidates who have not been able to put in their very best hereto before.

• Candidates must therefore try their best to come into limelight and show their qualities of team spirit, co-operation, co-ordination, ability for planning and organization. 

• It is quite possible that some candidates who have done well in the preceding tests may tend to slacken off towards the end or some them may feel tired and may not have the stamina to show off their best at the last stage.  Such candidates must protect themselves against such a tendency and must put in their best to leave a really good and lasting mark on the GTO.
