The recruitment of women officers in armed forces has declined last year. In 2014, 104 women were recruited in the Army, but the number has fallen to 72 in 2015, and 69 in 2016. The Air Force, with 155 and 223 recruitment in 2014 and 2015 respectively, saw only 108 women officers joining in 2016.
The Navy with 43 women recruitments has done marginally better in 2016 as compared to 2015 when 35 women joined the force. In 2014, however, the number was 57.
The Navy and Army has not been very encouraging in the last few years, but the Indian Air Force has something to cheer about.
The Air Force with 13 per cent woman officers was far ahead of the Army (3.64 per cent) and Navy (4.49 per cent).
Current Affairs questions will be from last 5-7 months (for AFCAT, NDA, CDS, TA)
“Steps like increasing tenure of women officers and improving promotional prospects in Army have been taken to increase participation of women in the Army,” Minister of state for Defence Dr Subhash Bhamre said in a written reply in Lok Sabha furnishing the information.
Even though the army has opened various positions for women, there is no proposal to start an all-women battalion.
In 2011, the government approved consideration of women Short Service Commission Officers (SSCOs) for grant of permanent commission along with men in specific branches like Judge Advocate General (JAG), and Army Education Corps (AEC) of the Army and their corresponding branches in Navy and Air Force, Naval Constructor in Navy and Accounts Branch in Air Force.
In March 2016, approval has been accorded for induction of women Short Service Commission (SSC) officers as Pilots in Maritime Reconnaissance (MR) stream and in the Naval Armament Inspectorate (NAI) cadre. The inductions are planned commencing from mid 2017.
In the Indian Air Force since 1993, women officers have been inducted in all branches and stream as Short Service Commissioned Officers except in the fighter stream. However, IAF has revised Short Service Commission scheme to induct women into the fighter stream on experimental basis for five years. The first batch of three women officers was commissioned in the fighter stream on June 18, 2016.
There is a shortage of around 50,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen in the three armed forces, the Lok Sabha was informed on Friday.
In a written reply, Minister of State for Defence Subhash Bhamre said there was a shortage of 25,472 JCOs and other ranks in the Indian Army, adding that the existing shortage, vis-a-vis the total strength in the Army, is nominal.
The Indian Army has around 1.4 million active personnel.
In the Indian Air Force, there is a shortage of 13,373 airmen, while the Navy needs 13,785 more sailors.
“The government has taken a number of measures to reduce the shortages. These include augmentation of training capacity, sustained image projection, motivational lectures in schools, participation in career fairs and exhibitions and publicity campaign to create awareness among the youth on the advantages of taking up a challenging career in the Armed Forces,” the minister added.
Hello friends, my name is Vivek Pandey. I live in Faridabad, Haryana. Being a son of an IAF personnel I was always inclined towards the career in Indian Armed Forces. I got my first call for SSB for TES-30 for the army in September 2013.
My consecutive attempts are as follows:
TES, 22 SSB Bhopal- CO
NDA, 2 AFSB Mysore- SO
Navy 10+2 B Tech, 33 SSB Bhopal-SO
Navy UES, 33SSB Bhopal- SO
Navy SSC Tech, 33 SSB Bhopal- SO
Army SSC Tech, 19 SSB Allahabad- REC
After getting the screen out from 33 SSB Bhopal on 30th May 2017, I was ready to face another one on 1st July 2017 at Allahabad for SSC Tech 49. It was raining heavily on 30th June so I called my friend to drop me on nearest metro station by his car. I reached New Delhi railway station and boarded Mahabodhi express. I reached Allahabad by 2140 hr. I stayed in a nearby hotel and reported next day at the station by 0600 hr.
As soon as we reached the Selection centre we were trifurcated into three categories i.e freshers, screen out and repeaters. 217 candidates reported in the batch out of 710. After the document check, we were allotted phase 1 chest numbers. I got 206 chest number. After appearing in verbal & nonverbal tests we were shown a picture. I made a story revolving around a social problem. A group of 20 people was sent for discussion. I narrated the story very well but in between one assessor said,” Understood your story, next”. So I was not able to complete my story. Then came the discussion part, as we all were repeaters there was a lot of chaos, so assessors divided the group in two sub groups. We arrived a common story at the end of the discussion. Soon the results were declared after lunch. Out of 217, 40 made it through the phase 1 and I was one of them (obviously :p).
The moment I got screened in I felt like half the battle is won. I felt relieved and said to myself that I’ll just enjoy my stay at SSB. I got 38 chest number. After filling various forms including PIQ, we were allotted rooms in 19 SSB candidates lines.
For the next day was psychological tests were scheduled. TAT was easy. I made positive stories revolving around my own life events. In the blank story, I wrote real incident happened to me. I just gave my original responses in SRT, wrote the first sentence came in my mind in WAT. Finally, the schedule for the day was over. We went to candidate lines. Later that day with chest no 30, 39 I went to Court to accompany chest no 30 to get an affidavit then we went to the bank of the sangam and Akshyavat temple. This is how the day came to an end.

GT was scheduled for the next day. We went to ground. The first task was GD, as expected again there was a lot of chaos in GD, nobody was listening to anyone. Somehow I was able to give on valid point in GD. Even in second GD, everyone was shouting at top of their voices, I was also continuously trying to speak but in vain. Same thing happened in the discussion part of GPE. Next came Group Obstacle Race, we were ahead of other groups as our group members were doing very good but as always every group finished the task at the same time. Next task was PGT, there was also chaos in the tasks and GTO was very angry on our group. I was standing at the last with the load in my hand. I was trying to give ideas from the back but unfortunately, no one ahead was listening to them. Then came HGT, we performed very well on HGT. I gave an idea in HGT twice. In lecturette, I spoke well on the topic South China Sea for exact 3 minutes.
For next day IO, CT, FGT was scheduled. I did 9 obstacles. Command task given to me was slightly difficult however I managed to complete it in the given time. FGT was again chaos. I think my group members motive was not to cross the obstacle but to tell idea to the GTO. Friends, please don’t do this. Just do your job which is to cross the obstacle with the group and leave GTO’s job to him.
My interview was scheduled with the president of 19 SSB on last day. I was given half an hour to change my attire to formal. I waited for about 10 min in the waiting room. I entered the room with a smile. The interview went for 40-50 minutes with 4 rounds of rapid fire questions. I tried to give my best by remembering the sequence but missed some of his questions. Technical questions were asked from my domain i.e mechanical engineering and I managed to give answers correctly except one where I understood the question in a different way, as he was asking something else, so technically I was right but wrong in the context of his question. He asked my GATE score and other competitive examination I have appeared with their results. Then a round of GK, we discussed GST for a while. Most of the interview revolved around my family & friends. There were some light moments in the interview when I shared some funny experiences of mine when he asked for it. Finally, my interview came to an end. However, somewhere in my heart, I wasn’t satisfied with my performance, especially when I understood what he was asking but it was of no use later.
Next day was the conference on 5th July 2017. After the closing speech by Dy. President, it started in reverse order from chest no- 40. I waited for about 15 minutes for the call after chest no. 39 left the hall. I saw the sole of my right shoe was broken and hanging on one side but I could do nothing at that point of time. I went in the hall with a smile on my face. The President asked me 2 SRTs. He asked me about my performance in group tasks and I told him that I wasn’t able to perform as much with the valid reason. Then some normal questions about stay and suggestion. I left the conference hall with a smile.
Then came the final moment, the results. Officer asked us to nominate 4 candidates who can make it through according to us. He said that ” When I’ll call the chest number the candidate will spell his name loudly with roll number”. Bang! the officer said,” Chest no. 38”. I spelled my name and said,” I don’t remember my roll no. sorry, sir”. Then he asked me to confirm the roll no. It all was like dream.
I was the only recommended candidate out of 40 candidates. All my brothers congratulated me. I rushed to my luggage and then waiting room to fill the various forms. That was the best day of my life. Finally, I made it! Now I can say I have it in me!
I am medically fit and waiting for the merit list. Looking forward to joining OTA Chennai this October.
At last, I want to say that SSBCrack helped me a lot with my preparation, especially the lecturette and GD topics I got from the website. The success stories I read gave me energy and enthusiasm to prepare for SSB.
For the aspirants out there especially repeaters I just want to say that never lose hope and keep working hard because a Fauji Never Back Down! Wish you all the best for your future. For any queries, you can drop me an e mail at [email protected].

The Territorial Army exam has been the target of several aspirants. The pre-mentioned sectional and overall cut-off of the exam is the best way to measure and implement your strategy in the exam. But as the prior knowledge is always helpful in getting the maximum in minimum time, the candidates need to get introduced to the type of question which are asked in the exam. The mathematics section of the exam has diverse types of question and is also termed as the scoring part of the exam. The most prominently asked questions in mathematics are as follows.
SI and CI combination – Questions related to the combination of the SI and CI are asked in the exam.
Ex. Find the difference between SI and CI on a certain sum of money for rate 4% for 2 years is 2 rupees. The sum is
Sol – using the formula difference = PR2/1002
2 = P X 42/ 1002
2 = P X 16/10000
P = 1250
Profit Loss – Some simple but tricky questions are asked in the profit loss.
Example – The selling price of an article is 80% of the cost price. The profit of loss is?
Sol – let the CP = 100 then SP =?
(100X100) / 80 = 125
The profit = 125 – 100 = 25
Consecutive Discount – Two or more discounts given consecutively on any item are also asked in the T.A. exam.
Example – A consecutive discount of 10% and 20% is given on a book. The total percentage of the discount given on it is?
Sol – x + y – (xy)/100
10 + 20 – (10X20)/100
30 – 2 = 28%
HCF and LCM – The questions related to the HCF and LCM are asked in the T.A. Exam. Example – The HCF and LCM of two numbers is 864 and 114. If one number is 288, then the other number is?
Sol. LCM X HCF = product of the 2 numbers
864 X 114 = 288 X x
(864 X 144)/ 288 = x
X = 432
Trigonometry – Some basic trigonometric function that need a good estimate and problem solving ability becomes a part of T.A. exam.
Example = if 3 tanØ = 4, then sinØ =?
Sol = 5 tanØ = 4
Or tanØ = 4/3
4/3 = P/B
So P = 4, B = 3 and H = 5
So, then sinØ = P/H
Sin Ø = 4/5
Number system – The question related to the number system which checks the correct use of BODMAS are also asked in the exam.
Example – A number doubles when 9 is added to it. If the resultant triples, it becomes 75. The number is?
Sol – let the number be x.
Than 3 (x+9) = 75
X+9 = 25
X = 25-9
X = 16
Simplification – Simplification questions are also asked where the BODMAS and other basic mathematical identities like roots squares are included in one problem.
Example = 1120/ √x = 80
Sol. = 1120/ √x = 80
1120 / 80 = √x
14 = √x
X = 142
X = 196
Partnership – The questions about partnership are the easiest question of the math section of the T.A. Exam.
Example – A starts a business with 2100 and B joins the business later with 3600 capital. If they got equal profit at the end of the year, for what period does B put his capital in business?
Sol A = 2100 X 12 months
B = 3600 X x months
2100 X 12 = 3600 X x
X = 7 months
Algebra – The basic algebraic identities and questions are asked in the T.A. exam which need a bit prior practice.
Example = If (x + (1/x)) = ½, then what will be the value of 2x/ (2x2+ 5x + 2)
Sol – Dividing all the terms of 2x/ (2x2+ 5x + 2) by x
2 / (2x + 5 + 2/x)
2 / (5 + 2(1 + 1/x))
Putting the value of (x + (1/x)) = ½
2 / (5 + 2 X 1/2)
2/(5+1)
=1/3
Logarithm – Like CDS and NDA, the questions of logarithm are asked in the T.A. exam. The questions are simple and need just the basics of the log concept.
Example = If log x (9/16) = ½, then x =?
Sol – log x (9/16) = ½
X ½ = 9/16
X = (9/16)2
X = 81/256
Conclusion – The above-mentioned questions will provide hints to the T.A. aspirants to prepare for the mathematics section of the exam and will help the aspirants in making their strategy for the exam. The questions on these topics are mostly asked and practicing these will raise the score of the candidates to reach up to the level of the cuttoff. So, start practicing for the section and bring your best performance next time.
Knot tying has long been considered as a part of the military program, clearly for good and purposeful reasons. It fosters discipline and focus and teaches useful skills that can be used immediately. Most people can tie just one knot (the “overhand”) but it is absolutely important to learn about the many kinds of knots that are used by armed forces personnel, scouts, mountaineers, etc and which can also prove beneficial in the GTO tasks. However, one should always be aware of some commonly used knots that are convenient and easy to use anytime in need.
SHEET BEND AND DOUBLE SHEET BEND: The sheet bend (also known as becket bend, weaver’s knot and weaver’s hitch) is a bend, i.e. a knot that joins two ropes together. This type of knot won’t slip when ropes of dissimilar material or size are entwined. While tying the knot, be sure that the working ends are on the same side or the knot might be unreliable. If you tie a thick and thin rope together, use the thick rope to form the stationary loop and the thin rope as the working line.
For greater security, (especially with plastic rope) use the double sheet bend by taking an extra coil around the standing loop. This type of knot can be used when you have tied two ropes together and the knot absolutely must not fail.
TRUCKER’S HITCH: The trucker’s hitch is a powerful pulley with a locking knot. You use this type of knot when you need a locking pulley with a 2-to-1 mechanical advantage, such as hanging a bear bag, tying a canoe on a car. Unlike the taut-line hitch, this knot won’t slip when used with a slippery line. Firstly, form the overhand loop then pull the loop through. Make the loop exactly as shown because it won’t work if you do it backwards. Run the working end of the rope through the loop and then pull hard to form the pulley. Secure the pulley to a stationary object (like a pole or branch) with a quick-release half-hitch or, for extra security, two or more standard half-hitches.
TWO HALF-HITCHES: Use two half hitches to tie a rope to a tree, ring or dock. If you are in need of more security, then take a second turn around the tree, or just add more half-hitches.
BOWLINE: This type of knot is popular among mountaineers, climbers, sailors and others. Use the bowline when you want a non-slip loop at the end of a line. The knot won’t slip, regardless of the load applied. Start by forming a loop or rabbit hole. The “rabbit” (working end) of the rope goes up through the hole, around the tree, then back down the hole. The knot will slip as it tightens, so allow a long working end.
Current Affairs questions will be from last 5-7 months (for AFCAT, NDA, CDS, TA)
TAUT-LINE HITCH: To create an adjustable loop that stays in place, use the taut-line hitch. This is the knot to use for staking out the guy lines of your tent.
PRUSIK HITCH: A prusik hitch can slide up or down a stationary rope, but it will hold steadfast when weight is applied. It is used in a number of self-rescue situations. Mountaineers use the prusik for footholds to help them climb a vertical rope. Campers use it for rigging rain flies or rescuing rock-pinned canoes in a river. First, use a sheet bend or double fisherman’s knot (instructions mentioned in this article) to make a loop from a length of parachute cord or rope. Then, wrap the loop around the main line three times. The prusik hitch will slide easily along the rope, but it will jam when a load (horizontal or vertical) is applied.
CLOVE HITCH: A versatile knot that is considered as one of the most important knots and is commonly referred to as a Double Hitch. It is often used in Scouting activities, including servings as the start or finish to many lashings.
SQUARE KNOT: The square knot can be used to join two ropes together. Generally, it works best with two ropes of the same diameter, and should not be used to hold a heavy load.
TIMBER HITCH: The timber hitch is a knot that is used to attach a single length of rope to a cylindrical object. This type of knot is often used to drag a log across the ground or to start a diagonal lashing.
DOUBLE FISHERMAN’S KNOT: The double fisherman’s knot or grapevine knot is a bend, or a knot used to join two lengths of rope. The knot is used to tie together the ends of one rope, forming a loop. The loop of rope can be used for many purposes, including the prusik hitch, shown above.

“Following schemes are being implemented: Ex-gratia awards in cases of disablement:- the cadet on being medically boarded out is entitled for following benefits: ex-gratia amount rs 3500 per month. ex-gratia disability award rs 6,300 per month for 100 per cent disability, constant attendance allowance Rs 3,000 pm for 100 per cent disability as recommended in invalidating medical board. army group insurance fund cover for nda cadets: disability Rs 7.5 lakh for 100 per cent disability proportionately reduced to Rs1.5 lakh for 20 per cent disability,” he added.
“Preference in Employment in the Government Jobs: Cadets who are invalidated out on medical grounds attributable to military training are accorded Priority-1 for the purpose of employment in Government service. The cadet consequent to his injury is provided free medical treatment in Military Hospital, Command Hospital and Research and Referral Hospital, Delhi,” read the reply. “A cadet is only invalidated out in the medical board, if he does not recover from the injury and is found unfit for further military training with the aforesaid treatment. The data on expenditure incurred on such treatment is not maintained,” it added.
