The personal interview at SSB is a part of 5 days of testing, the personal interview or PI requires more preparation than any other test. Whatever you speak during PI counts and adds it to your personality, also interviewing officers try to know more about you by asking questions of different levels.
If you are a repeater then you may know that a few basic questions are always asked by interviewing officer. Interviewing officers ask you a series of questions at once and you are required to answer them one by one. It is not difficult if you listen to IO carefully, be calm and start answering one by one in a normal fashion. To help you, below are the few basic questions asked during the personal interview.

At bhopal i was asked the question as below
“What kind of people you would like to keep away from you”
It is not true that the armed forces don’t take emotional people. A senior of mine was asked about his girlfriend. He said the truth that he actually has a girlfriend and was also recommended without any problem
i du agree but frnd human r d only creature who r gifted vid this beautiful thing called emotion….so been emotional is not bad……it is not a bad point…but at d same time ur decision shld not b emotional….dat’s wht it matter..
sory frnd but i dont agree vid u the society is changing rapidly…eg…pahle joint family hoti thi par ab nai dats’ was also a part of indian culture….and every relationship between a boy and girl is not abt physical only …there is love also…….kkkkk and there r many ppl who have changed d world for that matter…..so as long as u r in true relationship u can tel them truly………
no my frnd but u shld have sum alternate ways if not extra activi…..to keep urself on and keep u connected to outside world
