With the escalation in population and high pace of pollution going on, every day a new record is marked. Nature is showing is its resistance to the outcomes of pollution leading to the several hazards and natural calamities. Some shows fast effect, but some shows slow impact over human life. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently during his US visit, had climate change as one of the topics of discussion with US president Barak Obama. India is not just talking about it, but taking steps in this direction. Newspapers and digital media are filled with the green highway policy that is launched this week.

Green highway policy is launched recently by the government as a step ahead to secure the nature along with employment generation. The policy is all about planting trees along the highways to make them a way of supporting the plantation drive.

Introduction

Currently the target is set to plant 6,000 km of highway in first year in which nearly 12,000 hectares of land is available. As per the sources, 1% of the total cost of highway construction project are to be dedicated to the green highway project, which can make around Rs1000 cr in a year. Ministry of road transport and highway is focusing on land acquisition for this project

Aim of project

The aim of this project is to reduce the pollution level in the air and overcoming soil erosion, side by side providing shade along the highways in hot summers, ultimately widening forest cover and simultaneously generating employment.

Other steps in this path

Highways constitute 20% of the roads of India handling 40% of the country’s traffic, making it a crucial part of India. Highways have been constructed over the land acquired from farmers or forest cover. So this project will recover the greenery that is vanished while facilitating the traffic. Adding to this, the officials revealed that every tree is audited and counted and will be monitored through ISRO’s Bhuvan and GAGAN satellite. Nitin Gadhkari announced that our country has innovated lithium oil battery. This battery, if used in state owned buses, will reduce the diesel import by 8 lakh crore leading to monetary and Eco friendly benefit

Similar Approach

Similar plans are under the frame with the same aim of making India green. The government is planning to install CNG gas stations on selected highways Delhi – Agra, Delhi – Chandigarh, Delhi – Haridwar and Mumbai- Pune highways. The plan will encourage the use of CNG on long routes and reducing dependency over diesel and petrol. Well, CNG is encouraged in India as it is the fuel that when used in vehicles, emits less smoke (greenhouse gasses). It also increases the life of engine and is also proving to be safer than petrol and diesel. The only thing that is negative is that it need greater area for storage as compared to other popular fuels.

Such steps matters a lot when it comes to save the nature. Their proper implementation is necessary for getting expected outcomes. India is going on a high speed development and need to think about this phase and take effective steps.

Is Backlog Allowed in AFCAT and AFSB Interview

Dear aspirants as these are frequently asked questions by the defence aspirants, especially candidates who are applying for the AFCAT written test and AFSB interview, we are going to cover these backlog and percentage related questions for AFCAT and AFSB interview. In this article, we are going to clear the doubts of candidates regarding the backlog allowed in AFCAT and AFSB interview or not.

As per the latest AFCAT notification “Candidates should not have any present backlog and should have secured a minimum of 60% marks in aggregate in all papers put together up to the last semester / year for which results have been declared at the time of online submission and at the time of SSB”

Q. Can I apply for AFCAT with a present backlog?

Technically you are not allowed to apply for AFCAT if you have a current backlog, but there is another scenario about which we will talk below.

Q. I have written Backlog exam but haven’t got the result, am I eligible for AFCAT exam and AFSB interview?

This is the same case as above, without the result, you are considered with a backlog only. But, if you know till when you will get the result of backlog exam, you could delay your AFSB interview accordingly and wait for your written result and attend the SSB interview.

Q. I had a backlog but I have cleared it and I have the certificate for the same?

You are eligible if you have scored minimum 60% aggregate in all papers put together till the last semester for which you got the result and don’t have any backlog.

Q. I have not received my last year mark sheet, how can I submit the docs?

If you haven’t got the original mark sheet of any year, take an online result print out and attest it from your college head like Dean or Principle. Also, write an application regarding the same and get it signed by your college principle.

Q. I have cleared AFCAT but I don’t have 60%/ I have a backlog?

You are not eligible and you will be returned from the AFSB interview after the documents check.

Q. I have 60% aggregate but I have not counted the additional subject?

No, this is one of the biggest mistakes, you have to count each and every subject printed on your mark sheet to calculate the aggregate percentage, even though your university doesn’t count it but Airforce wants you to add the marks of those subjects to calculate your aggregate percentage. So if you are going below 60% after adding all subjects, you are not eligible.

Q. I have a backlog/ less than 60% but I am sure before AFSB interview will get the result of it and I will clear my backlog with more than 60%.

In this case, you can apply for AFCAT and try your luck.

If you have any more questions do post them in the comment section below. We wish you more success in upcoming AFCAT exams and AFSB interview.

This must be a very interesting topic because everybody wants to know how much one should score in SSB interview and what are the marks of a recommended candidates. You will be surprised to see the percentage of marks you should score to get recommended. We have data of recommended candidates through CDS entry which shows the marks scored by the candidates who got recommended for IMA, OTA, AFA and NA. i.e. for Army (IMA &OTA), Air Force (AFA) and Navy (NA).

You will also see the written test cut off is very low when compared with the SSB interview marks and to clear the SSB interview cut off you have to at least score 75% which is very difficult and that is the reason why SSB interview has very low success rate. Let’s see the date.

This screenshot is from CDS 2 2018 cut off which is officially declared by UPSC. As you can see to clear the written test you just need to score 30 – 44% overall and minimum 20% in each subject/paper which is true for all services. But now let’s take about how much you need to score in SSB interview.

CDS Maximum Marks

IMA – 300 marks
AFA – 300 marks
INA – 300 marks
OTA – 200 marks

SSB Maximum Marks

IMA – 300 marks
AFA – 300 marks
INA – 300 marks
OTA – 200 marks

Total Maximum Marks (CDS+SSB)

IMA – 600 marks
AFA – 600 marks
INA – 600 marks
OTA – 400 marks

As you could see the last recommended candidate got 250+ Marks out of 600 Marks for IMA through CDS entry and he got recommended. These are the marks of last recommended candidate who scored the least number and will be last in the merit list.
