SSB Interview Experience

How I Cracked SSB Interview Back to Back

ssb interview story

Hello to those reading this. My name is Shaurya Bahuguna, and like many of you, I am a defense aspirant. I have attempted theย SSB Interviewย thrice, twice for NDA and once for the Navy 10+2 BTech entry. In my first attempt, I was conference out, but was subsequently recommended twice back-to-back. Coming from a defence backgroundโ€”my father is an army officerโ€”I have observed defence life closely. It is one of the most unique and interesting lifestyles one could experience. This inspired me to join the army as an officer and be part of the defense forces.

Witnessing my fatherโ€™s work ethic, discipline, and camaraderie with fellow officers fueled my aspiration. He is both my role model and supporter. During my 12th class, I was determined to pass the NDA examination at any cost, prioritizing my studies above everything else. I studied relevant topics from books, YouTube videos, and online content, focusing on previous year questions and time-based sample papers to identify and improve my weak areas.

A crucial aspect of the NDA written examination is time management, especially in the maths paper, which consists of 120 questions to be attempted in 150 minutes. My strategy involved first tackling questions I could answer quickly, then those requiring more time, and finally, if time permitted, attempting the trickier ones. In the GAT, despite the temptation to guess answers for extra marks, I was mindful of the negative marking and focused on questions I was certain about.

This approach helped me clear the written examination and prepare for my SSB. The SSB, a 5-day process involving psychology tests, GTO, and interviews, thoroughly evaluates candidates. To prepare for the screening test on the first day, I practiced OIR tests and created stories for PP&DT images. Joining SSB-oriented Telegram channels for regular PP&DT sessions improved my storytelling and discussion skills.

During theย PP&DT, I focused on observing the picture during the 30-second viewing period without preconceiving a story. I then crafted my story around the pictureโ€™s details, rehearsing it to ensure clear and concise narration during the discussion. My approach was to present my views in a non-aggressive manner and be open to othersโ€™ ideas.

The next stage involved psychological tests: TAT, WAT, and SRT. Inย TAT, I crafted stories around 11 pictures, ensuring they were positive and relevant. The 11th picture, being blank, allowed for creative freedom. Inย WAT, I wrote sentences for 60 words, each shown for 15 seconds. Inย SRT, I addressed 60 situations in 30 minutes with concise, comma-separated solutions.

GTO day 1 included GD, GPE, PGT, HGT, and aย lecturette. In GD, I focused on bringing new points and responding calmly to counterpoints. Preparation involved following current affairs and discussion channels. In GPE, I prioritized problems, formulated group plans, and discussed solutions, considering time and distance. In PGT and HGT, I contributed ideas and volunteered for tasks. For the lecturette, I chose topics I was knowledgeable about, practicing fluency in advance.

GTO day 2 comprised individual obstacles, command tasks, and FGT. I worked on my stamina to complete the obstacles and approached command tasks with attention and efficiency. The interview, scheduled on either GTO day, required confidence and honesty, with preparation on current events and my PIQ.

Through my SSB journey, I learned the importance of enjoying the process and persevering through challenges. The setbacks in my initial attempts only motivated me to work harder. The experience was enriching, teaching me the value of prioritizing goals and making sacrifices. I am grateful to my parents and friends for their immense support throughout my journey.

I hope those reading this will strive to achieve great heights in their endeavors.

Congratulations to Shaurya Bahuguna, a student from ourย SSBCrackExams SSB Onlineย May batch, on achieving a remarkable milestone! Shaurya has been recommended once again for the Navy 10+2 B.Tech entry from NSB Kolkata, marking his second commendable recommendation.
