Indian Navy rolls out ‘360-degree appraisal’ for promotion evaluation

The Indian Navy is implementing a new 360-degree appraisal mechanism for officers being considered for promotion. The mechanism will include peer reviews from colleagues and subordinates to evaluate an officer’s impact on their team. The feedback obtained will be analyzed by a nominated board of officers, providing officers with the opportunity to make behavioral changes and improvements. The Navy aims to remain a combat-ready and credible force.
