- Go prepared, nothing can be achieved without preparations, gone are those days when SSB’s were just about going and doing everything as it came. SO go with full preparations.
- Don’t be a robot of the coaching you are taught in, apply your own brain and don’t act according to mugged up things.
- Take care of your dress up, wear only what you are supposed to wear, follow the dress code. Of course these things don’t fetch you marks but it gives your personality a good outlook.
- Follow the rules in all tasks, when you break any don’t hesitate to admit. Honesty is the most important quality of an officer.
- Writing mugged up responses in psychological tests will get easily caught. Let your imagination run wild. Write what you see and imagine, they want to see your thoughts.
- Be careful to not contradict any of your responses anywhere, for doing so you need to be truthful, so that you don’t contradict yourself in Psych, Interview or GTO.
- SSB is all about ‘Manasa, Vacha and Karmana’, you need to be one person, and hence your thoughts, actions and words should be the same. So keep this in mind.
- Do not hear and believe in any rumor and also not spread any.
- A good leader knows how to preserve his/her own life as well so do not try to do anything (in GTO) which may result in hurting yourself physically and thus disqualifying you from going any further in the SSB.
- Remain enthusiastic and a cheerful person. A gloomy face is generally not admired by many.
- Some of us get extra friendly in interview. This must be avoided, remember they are doing their job which is to make you comfortable and friendly, but there is a certain level and certain distance which should be maintained with the interviewer, hence you are advised not to pour out your heart in the interview.
- In a race to complete all SRT’s and WAT no compromise with the quality should be done. Hence write a full reaction in SRT’s and make sensible sentences in WAT.
- Maintain a suitable friendship with all your group mates. Don’t be very friendly with anybody and similarly don’t avoid somebody completely. Be nice to all.
- Open up with your group but to an extent. Neither speak too much nor be quiet all the time, be enthusiastic in talking and going out with others.
- If you are repeater try not to be teacher for every fresher, you are as clueless as they are so try and avoid preaching about SSB and how to succeed etc.
- About the mess food. Of course it’ll not be a 5 star kind of food; they have to prepare for 100’s of you so the taste might be not very good, although they try to do their best. Kindly do not severely criticize. You have gone there for something else, food is just a part!
- Avoid picking up fights! Yes this may sound a bit funny but some cases are there where a candidate has picked up fight with another over the basketball or something and both were kicked out.
- Go out in groups/bunches. For some of you the city and the region entirely might be new, so it’s better to hang out in groups, plus it adds up to the bonding.
- Come in time for everything. Be it for the tasks, mess or book-in time you should be punctual.
- Maintain the decorum, do not hang out in the campus chatting loudly or laughing hysterically. Defence is associated with strict discipline and you as an aspirant for the same are expected to have some.
