5 Sure Ways To Fail In SSB Interview

Since the time my mobile number got published on SSBCrack, I have been constantly getting calls from defence aspirants who are appearing in the SSB. After talking to them, I realized I must write about 5 sure ways to fail in the SSB. All along I have been writing to help candidates pass in the SSB but it seems it is now important to tell them what they must do to fail hoping that they will not commit these five mistakes.

 

Wake up in the end

I have heard so many candidates who appeared in the CDS / AFCAT / NDA written test but did not do anything till they received the call letter because they were not sure if they will clear the test. This is most unfortunate. If you think you can become a Class I Officer by preparing in the last one month or so you are sadly mistaken. Even though SSB is a test of personality, one requires to prepare a lot both physically and mentally. There is no substitute for hard work.

Don’t Read Newspaper

Often candidates don’t read a standard newspaper. They struggle in communication and also lack knowledge about current affairs. Unless one reads a good English newspaper regularly, he/she can’t acquire the required knowledge about what is happening in and around. Reading Newspaper is also an art. One must separate the wheat from the chaff and grasp the essentials. It’s always good to make small notes of certain facts and figures. If you see the general knowledge section of the AFCAT exam you would realize that most questions come from the newspaper.

Don’t watch English News

Candidates either don’t watch News or watch Hindi News. Both will lead to failure. Watching English News channels such as NDTV 24×7 not only enhances your knowledge but also improves your vocabulary and communication. Further, I always said, “it is not sufficient to have knowledge alone”. One must have his own views on various issues faced by the country and the world. We at SSB are looking for a thinking person. The easiest way to develop perspective on various issues is to watch programs like ‘We the People’ and ‘Big Fight’.

Don’t Do Physical Activities

Even though SSB is not about physical attributes, one must be able to do at least the bare minimum. I have come across several candidates who are obese and don’t attempt the obstacles that involve some risk. It may not be that they lack courage but the fact that they are obese they just don’t take any chances. This is a sure case of failure.

Fake Your Self  

It’s often said, “One requires more intelligence to tell a lie and get away with it”. As said earlier, the assessors are highly trained and hence it’s very difficult to fake yourself in front of them. At best one can modify his/her responses to project well but if someone tries to tell blatant lies, it is likely that he/she may be caught. The best thing to do is to hide some negative facts and project the positives in a way that it catches the attention of the assessors. Most coaching academies tend to tell you the ideal and candidates try to fake themselves. We call this bad coaching effect and reject the candidate.

I hope this article helps you follow the correct path to success!!!

Recommended For Indian Army In My 6th Attempt

Hello friends and my dear SSB aspirants. I have been recommended from 31 Ssb Kapurthala in my 6th attempt and I am going to join Officer’s Training Academy in the first week of April for the SSC-Tech-48 course. I am going to share some valuable points and my SSB interview experience which intend to help all the SSB aspirants out here. Unlike all others when I got my first call letter for ssb , I went to the one of the best coaching academies for the SSB coaching. Though there were certain things and the motivation being provided by the teacher’s out there but after attending 6 SSBs and being conference out 5 consecutive times I realised that SSB is all about your qualities and not the one which are being forcefully inculcated within you in a span of 10-15 Days. Inculcating Officer like qualities (OLQs) in you certainly need some time and cannot be done by attending any class or coaching. SSB is all about the personality and qualities you possess and not the one which are being forcefully inculcated within you. I have been conferenced out 5 times and the most important and difficult part for any repeater is the self introspection and improving the things.

This takes a plenty of time and one can’t change themselves Just by thinking and it’s very necessary to change certain small habits in your daily routine which could lead to a big difference in the future. The most important thing I learned during my entire journey of SSB and being recommended is to be fearless and facing all the situations with confidence and being true to yourself. My 6th SSB interview started at Kapurthala where I reported at morning on 25th of November 2016. There was an OIR test which was quite tough as compared to other SSB boards. There were more than 200 candidates on the first day. The PPDT image was something related to a car which was covered by People around it. My story revolved around a politician visiting his constituency after the elections and was being welcomed by the people. The narration was good by me but just got very few chances to speak during the group discussion being a repeaters group. Though I was pretty confident because I had never been screened out ever and as usual I made it. I was screened in among the 20 candidates and this was the lowest number of screened in candidates I had  ever experienced. This was indeed a very happy moment but the main task was ahead. The second day started with the psychological tests and the most important part of psychology is being spontaneous with your answers which shows your actual qualities you possess. I attempted Almost word in WAT and stories in TAT were spontaneous based on the image.

I attempted Almost 45 SRTs and there always said that quality of Answers matters not the quantity. I was soon interviewed by the president and commandant of the board just after my psychological tests. The interview was very much based on my current job and situations based on that. There were plenty of organising tasks were given to me during the interview which I did it perfectly and apart from that situations were put after me which I reacted very sensibly. The major difference in this interview as compared to my other previous attempts was actually the boldness and confidence by which I have given answers. There were certain questions which I didn’t know and I admitted that. One more thing being judged in the SSB interview is being true to yourself and admitting the mistakes you have made in your previous life and attempts you have made to improve that. Finally the interview was over on a good note and I was pretty confident with my performance and there was just one step ahead that was GTO. There were 2 groups of 10 each and tasks were completed in a Single day for each group respectively. We were there on the GTO ground on the 4th day.

The basic thing in GTO is being simple, gentle and sensible. The day started with the group discussion which were based on indo China relations and women empowerment followed by other tasks and got an opportunity to speak on the co education topic during my lecturrete. The group planning exercise involved Very sensible points regarding the time and distance and I attempted 11 obstacles in the individual obstacles. All the other tasks were good , good generally means being satisfactory not being dominant on the group. How gently you behave in the GTO makes a reflection in your performance as well as the result. The day concluded with all the tasks in a single day. Finally the conference day , though I was Very much confident with my performance and after being conferenced out 5 times consecutively, you really don’t care about the result. I was made to wait for 5-10 mins before my turn and when I went inside, there was  a blast of technical questions , being an aeronautical engineer there were plenty of questions related to the fighter planes. There were questions of points of improvement and ways to do it and certain questions related to the group. It took me about 10 mins in the conference hall which was the longest as compared to my previous attempts. The results were announced and my chest number was 18.recommended candidate

They were announcing in sequence. After announcing 5,9 and 15 , I was waiting to announce one more recommendation. The officer gently said there’s one more recommendation and he announced number 18. That was the most happiest moment of my life and I was totally numb and tears of joy came into my eyes. I removed my old chest no. And got a new one with a plus sign over it. The hardwork, dedication and patience was paid off after so many failures and years. It’s true that failures are the pillars to the success until you give up and keep on improving your mistakes. Medicals were over at MH Jalandhar Cantt. I am declared fit and got an AIR 2 in merit list of SSC Tech under aeronautical engineering and ready to join OTA chennai on first week of April.

Lt.Col Upender Singh Gill

Thank you to  Paper Weight Entertainment for showcasing the stories of unsung heroes.

Major US Gill was one of the first victim of the remote controlled IED (improvised explosive device) been often planted by Militants and anti-national elements in the hostile area of Jammu & Kashmir state in the 1990s. Commissioned into the Armoured Corps Regiment’s Central India Horse battalion (21st in order), Major Gill volunteered to join and work on the initial raising of the 1st Rashtriya Rifles (RR) in the early 90s, which was raised in an amalgamation of various Indian Army regiments. Major US Gill took up the challenge to raise the 1st RR squads from the scratch. Working with detonating the IEDs (or land mines) was the primary task of Major Gill’s company deployed around 40 km from Srinagar.

On 2nd November 1993, as the company commander incharge, Major Gill got the information about IEDs planted next to highway targeting Army convoy movements. A firm believer of the Academy motto “Your Country Comes First, Then Your Men, And Your Own Safety The Last” and his words, “The first and foremost is that once you are in uniform, it is your solemn duty to be an example to your subordinates, you have to lead from the front, you can’t be behind your men”. Convoys and troops movement was due on time, Major Gill took the lead to search the hidden IED. Planted by Hizbul-Mujahedeen, one of the new remote controlled land mine, it was denotated when Major Gill was about 5m away from it.1

Thus, the soldier saved hundreds of men and the convoy movement.

 

Now retired as Lt.Col US Gill and settled in Chandigarh, family remembers the fateful times as a body of flesh and blood,  was lying on a hospital bed. Seen healthy and back to life, here is a message the Soldier wants to give to the nation:

Watch here Undefeated Episode 3: Duty and Courage:


 

Lt.Col US Gill, a soldier, a real-life hero who lived up to the lesson they are taught as cadets, “Your Country comes first, then your men, and your own safety the last”. Lt.Col Gill is a man loved by his family, respected by his men and praised by his colleagues for his courage to do his duty properly.3

This story is part of ‘Undefeated – Soldiers of Courage’, a Web-Series by Paper Weight Entertainment inspired by the life that a soldier and their families live. What makes them stand out and what gives them the courage to keep living even after the harsh situations they go through during their service for the country and how they (soldiers) who join the armed forces at a very young age grow and imbibe certain principles in life that sets them apart from the others.

ekt cut off marks

EKT 1 2017 was conducted on 28 Feb 2017, right after AFCAT 1 2017. EKT 1 2017 was attended by candidates who opted for the technical branch of the Indian army. To get an AFSB interview call for the technical branch of the Indian air force one needs to clear the EKT exam along with AFCAT.

This means, if you qualify in AFCAT but not in EKT, then you are not eligible for Technical branch. But unlike this, if you fail to qualify in AFCAT but qualify in EKT though, you are not considered as qualified candidate.

With this, candidates are eagerly waiting for the AFCAT 1 2017 cut off marks and EKT 1 2017 cut off marks to calculate their AFCAT 1 2017 results.

The expected cut off for AFCAT 1 2017 is around 150, similarly, the expected cut off for EKT is higher than the previous cut offs.

What are the cut-off marks for clearing EKT 1 2017?

The cut-off varies for each exam and hence is unpredictable. However, the previous years’ cut-off marks for AFCAT EKT are as follows:

EKT 2, 2014 Cut Off:

EEE:               45 marks out of 150

ECE:               45 marks out of 150

CS/IT:             45 marks out of 150

Mechanical:      45 marks out of 150

EKT 1, 2015 Cut Off:

EEE:               55 marks out of 150

ECE:               55 marks out of 150

CS/IT:             55 marks out of 150

Mechanical:      55 marks out of 150

EKT 2, 2015 Cut Off:

EEE:               52 marks out of 150

ECE:               52 marks out of 150

CS/IT:             52 marks out of 150

Mechanical:      52 marks out of 150

EKT 1, 2016 Cut Off:

EEE:               52 marks out of 150

ECE:               52 marks out of 150

CS/IT:             52 marks out of 150

Mechanical:      52 marks out of 150

EKT 2 2016 Cut off:

EEE:               60 marks out of 150

ECE:               60 marks out of 150

CS/IT:             60 marks out of 150

Mechanical:      60 marks out of 150

 

EKT 1 2017 Cut off:

EEE:               60 marks out of 150

ECE:               60 marks out of 150

CS/IT:             60 marks out of 150

Mechanical:      60 marks out of 150

Since the latest cut-off for EKT 2 2016 was 60 marks out of 150, the cut-off for EKT 1 2017 is expected to be anywhere between 55-65 marks.

With this, you can now predict your chances of clearing EKT based on your performance. All the best.

What Is Seen At Services Selection Board?

By
SSBCrack
-
0

                As an assessor at Service Selection Board, I often heard candidates asking at the end of all the tests, as to what is it that we see in them to select. It is unfortunate that they do not even know what are they tested for. This article will deal with 15 Qualities, arranged in four factors that are assessed in the Services Selection Boards. Services Selection Board follows a three pronged assessment namely Psychological (Manasa), Group (Karma) and Personal Interview (Vacha). Incidentally, all the three assessors assess the same 15 qualities using their respective tools / techniques. The qualities / factors are described below:-

 

Factor 1: Planning and Organizing. This factor includes four qualities which are associated with the mental aspect of the person.

(1)          Effective Intelligence (EI):            This is the ability of a person to evolve solutions to practical problems. It is different from basic intelligence which is measured using the intelligence tests (Verbal and Non Verbal). In EI the assessor want to see if you can solve day to day problems and cope with minor difficulties of daily life.

(2)          Reasoning Ability (RA): It is the ability of a person to grasp a given situation and arrive at conclusion by rational thinking. In RA the assessors are looking for your receptivity, inquiring attitude, logical reasoning and the ability to see the essentials of a problem.  

 

(3)          Organizing Ability (OA): It is the ability to use the resources systematically to produce effective results. In OA, the assessors are interested in seeing how you use the various resources to produce results.

(4)          Power of Expression (POE):         It is the ability to put across one’s ideas adequately and with ease and clarity. 

 Factor II: Social Adjustment.     This factor includes three qualities which are associated with the heart/conscience of the person.

(5)          Social Adaptability (SA):               It is the ability of a person to adapt himself to the social environment and adjust well with persons and social groups. The assessor is interested in your abilities to adapt to the members of the group, how you interact with them, are you tactful in your dealings with others etc.

(6)          Cooperation (Co):            It is the attitude of an individual to participate willingly with harmony with others in a group achieving the group goal. It is important to be a team player and one must not be selfish. The group aim and objective should be most important as compared to individual aim and objectives. The assessors will be keen in seeing your team attitude.            

(7)          Sense of Responsibility (SOR):   It is the thorough understanding of the values of duty, social standard, and of what is expected of individual and then giving it his energy and attention on own accord. The assessor is keen in knowing if you understand your duty as a child/student/citizen of a country and do you have a right sense of what is the social standard and know what is expected of individuals and then do you give your best energy and attention towards it without anybody having to remind you or tell you.

Factor III: Social Effectiveness.  This factor includes five qualities which are an outcome of the dynamic interaction of the above two factors i.e. head and the heart.

(8)          Initiative (Inv):  It is the ability to originate an action.  The assessors see if you take the lead in the right direction and sustain it till the result is achieved.                

(9)          Self Confidence (SC):     It is the faith in your own abilities to meet stressful and unfamiliar situations.

(10)        Speed of Decision (SOD):             It is the ability to arrive at workable decision quickly. There are two components of this namely, appropriateness of the decision and quickness at arriving at the decision.

(11)        Ability to Influence the Group (AIG):      It is the ability of a person which enables to get willing effort of others in the group to achieve the objectives set by him/her. What is seen is, if you can convince others to do things willingly that you want them to do without use of any force.

(12)        Liveliness (Liv): It is the capacity of a person to remain buoyant / cheerful when faced with difficulties and bring about a cheerful atmosphere in the group. What is seen is, if you get unduly worried or disturbed when faced with difficult situations.                        

 

Factor IV: Dynamic.        This factor includes three qualities which are associated with the limbs or the coordination between the mind and the body.

(13)        Determination (Det):     It is the ability to put in sustained efforts to achieve objectives in spite of obstacles and set backs. The assessors seen whether you are focused, able to concentrate on the task and continuously work towards achieving the objectives.

(14)        Courage (Cou): It is the ability to appreciate and take purposive risks. What is important is to take risks only where required and that too after a careful thought. Some candidates tend to take rash decisions which may endanger the life of subordinates and that is undesirable. Hence, what is important is ‘calculated risks when required’.

(15)        Stamina (Sta):   It is the capacity to withstand protracted physical and mental strain. It includes both physical and mental endurance.

While the 15 qualities have been described, mere understanding of these is not sufficient to perform well at SSB. You need to know how to project these aptly and for this one may need guidance. I strongly suggest all the aspirant to go through my videos.

8 Barriers In Effective Communication Style of SSB Aspirants

By
Ravinder Tanwar

0
NDA SSB Interview

All aspirants, who are indulged in preparing for SSB should work hard to make themselves fully ready for their upcoming opportunities. In the same stream, introspection should also be focused. Half of the battle in SSB is conquered by communicating effectively and impressively. Before emphasizing on it, candidates must know the problems and barriers that they might encounter in communication skills. Your personal observation and consultation can make you aware of your problems, which are:-

 
1. Unmatched Gestures – Gestures play crucial role in communication skills. Expressing perfect and related gestures in the communication are necessary and makes the conversation effective and there mismatch makes the conversation downgraded.
2. Avoiding Or Getting Pacified In Difficult Conversations – People who avoid or try to sneak out from difficult situations and conversation are devoid of communication skill as they always hesitate to put their point in front of a bunch of people.
3. Targeting Wrong In Conversation – Wrong targeting or giving an irrelevant point in a conversation never leads to the expected or favorable conclusion. Staying to the point and following the theme of the conversation is necessary. A candidate must communicate and stay on the topic and follow the rhythm of discussion.
4. Reacting Rather Than Responding – The two words mean a lot and differentiate between a good and bad communication skills. Stay calm and listen to what is being asked and respond as per the requirement of the argument. Don’t react and disturb the conversation or discussion.
