Three months before , I was just me , an individual with a voice and a pen. Well today , I am the same individual 😉 , with just 15 days left to join the prestigious Officer’s Training Academy , Chennai.

Since messages , requests have been pouring in for congratulations , for tips , for advice from so many defence aspirants , it’s impossible to separately respond to all . Trust me when I say this … repeaters , hardcore repeaters and then the recommended candidates can enlighten you more about the tricks of the trade , not someone who got an all India rank of 2nd in the first shot.

But still an earnest attempt from my side to share whatever I gathered from this wonderful experience called SSB .

SSB as per me is a game , not just of what you are but how well you are able to express what u think , say and do. Although the 15 officer like qualities are the benchmark of what they check and some of them are just ingrained in some yet some others need to develop it over a course of time.SSC Tech Merit List Women

To cut the long story short I would just get to the point .

1. Screening – The ppdt … No one wants to see or read a flamboyant story . Make sure a simple one with the picture fitting in your story . Don’t go about singing over road safety the moment you see a road in the picture . Make it realistic yet unique
– Since u have just a minute to narrate , get straight to the point . Be crisp , be clear with your pronunciation , speech and the way u present it. Don’t stammer, keep hand gestures in control
– GD -  Its more of a luck wrt your position in the group , but make the best of what you have. After the initial chaos settles , u will notice only a few speak . Take advantage of the 2 seconds and give your points. Enumerate them if you want. It’s better if you try to moderate the discussion by first urging everyone to decide onto a common theme . And then the actor , followed by the action of the story.

* Don’t contradict anyone’s point
* Don’t be adamant upon trying to force your story onto everyone
* Don’t be too aggressive onto the group
*Try to cooperate more than contradict .

2. Psych Test
Day 2 of the ssb , if you make through the screening.
This is mainly a rest of speed and the quickness of your decision making.

TAT – * same as the screening , make sure the picture fits the story .
* Make the story positive .
* Write nearly and DON’T CUT OR CROSS ANYTHING on your answer sheet , even if it’s wrong , try to avoid it .
* have mercy on the psych officer and give him something fresh to read rather than the same old road safety , pollution and awareness camo stories .
*read newspapers daily especially the new govt schemes , you’ll get a lot of ideas .

WAT – *Don’t miss a word , it shows u r confused as u took time to think over a word
* try to avoid preaching, advises , should , must , can , universal facts , general knowledge facts as all this shows u r trying to preach what u can’t do
* prepare beforehand , think , innovate and then write trying to frame positive sentences even out of negative words.
*keep up the speed . Attempt allSSB Recommended For Indian Army

SRT – *Don’t assume a problem. If it’s not implied then its not there
* Don’t write long sentences . Finnish off with crisp phrases showing the subsequent steps in your reaction.
*Don’t showcase your fears . They are checking your courage .
*check what the srt is asking for , which olq , and respond accordingly.
*where u find a conflict between reasoning and courage , ignore the reasoning .
*attempt as much as u can . I did all 60

SD – Self Description
Don’t write a thesis . Just 4, 5 lines are sufficient. The interviewing officer  is gonna ask u everything from it so do a PhD in whatever u write about urself , your family , friends, teachers etc . Prepare at least 3 examples of any and every quality that u r mentioning in the sd.

3. Interview
* prepare ur piq well in advance and prepare any possible question that can arise from it . Your hobbies , your family , friends , teachers , etc , your own qualities .
* be confident , but not overconfident .
* Don’t show off unnecessarily , the one in front of u is smarter than u r .
*Don’t lie if you can’t justify it. Simply , justify anything and everything you say .
*be to the point . Answer as much as is asked . Don’t be a chatki .
* The most important thing : try to maintain a cheerful atmosphere in the room. Smile often. If you stay serious , he ‘ll make sure that you feel a dementor has sucked all happiness out of you (harry potter fans would understand the pun) .
*your knowledge will help u a lot. Don’t appear a fool . Although a personality test but highly advisable that you be well versed with the current happenings of the country atleast. Read The Hindu . For god sake don’t pick up a glamour coated TOI .
* not just for the ssb , I would strongly advise you to have a balanced opinion about things and issues as a rational person. This country is already filled with fanatic fools and they are doing no good. At least the army needs to be cool headed .
* In the wake of the anti-national , fake nationalism drama this country is witnessing , for god sake refrain from showing your patriotism in the ssb. We don’t need martyrs but more enemies dead.
* Don’t show your stupidity by glorifying your caste and creed. “Hum rajput hote hain and we don’t keep calm ” . The answer will be a polite F**k Off from the army .
*strictly speaking … no bhakts ( modi bhakts ) and pseudo-intellectuals , etc needed . Keep it all in your pocket.
*Don’t discuss any negative personality issue with the io. Especially when the negative qualities of your parents n friends are asked.
* lie if u have to , but be diplomatic and confident enough to justify it with rational grounds.
*KEEP SMILING and don’t succumb under pressure .

GTO –
* the only 3 things u need to focus on are
– the military planning
    ~ Don’t contradict the one who gives the group plan. He is the commander and u have to trust and agree to him.
   ~ write ur plan in points or small paragraphs , include all your resources n men .

– the lecturette
~think ur ideas well , while u have time.
~atleast 5, 7 . And then just expand them
~ be clear and confident about the way you speak , don’t stammer , don’t use hand gestures , don’t choose those My favourite teacher , my favourite actor topics . Grow up please.

– Group Discussion
~ the same points as in mentioned in the screening above .
~ your knowledge will help u here
~ Don’t repeat points
~ give innovative points , try avoiding the routine stuff
~ speak well , trying to include the non speakers in the group.
~ exercise your right to keep silent as well . Speaking 4, 5 times is enough . Let others speak as well.

– Group tasks
~ Don’t stand in the background to just preach ideas , if u have it , implement it. Be a doer
~ if you don’t have any idea , help out the group with executing the ideas . Make urself useful .
~ Don’t try to be bossy and shove everyone out of your way .
~ your group dynamics are being tested and eventually the leader amongst u will emerge .

Remember A LEADER IS NOT THE ONE WHO LEADS, BUT THE ONE WHO CAN CREATE MORE LEADERS AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY WITH COMPASSION .

*during all the other physical tasks , especially snake race , help all the group members to cross over , don’t act selfish .
* doesn’t matter how many individual obstacles u do. Chill n do as many as you can. I did just 5 . Didn’t want to cut my hands n all so no tiger leap for me. Hehe … but yes if you fail while doing a task , don’t give up . Do it again till you succeed .

That’s all about it and overall Euro g the ssb

1. Make yourself indispensable . A humorous , jolly person is like by all and helps you to bond well with ur teammates .
2. Don’t show Off unnecessarily.
3. Try to help your fellow mates to de-stress . I kept on making them laugh resultant of which they themselves were marketing me in front of the GTO.
4. Enjoy yourselves . If you worry too much about the outcome your performance in the process would show your nervousness.
5. Enjoy being bored with no technological connectivity. Being bored means being innovative.

PLAY ONE BALL AT A TIME AND YES IT’S NOT THE END OF LIFE  IF YOU DONT MAKE IT . HEROES ARE HEROES … WITH OR WITHOUT THE STARS .

My SSB Interview Experience Recommended For Indian Army TGC 123

SSB Recommended For TGC 123

I knew I have it in me. It’s just a matter of time. Hello everyone out there. My ssb was scheduled on 9th Feb and it was my 3rd ssb. Earlier I was screened out for my last two attempts. And I know the pain of being rejected at the very first day. Being from a defense background; a fauji brat more precisely; it was a dream to get commissioned.

Being average in studies, I somehow was not able to clear any of the written exams but i prepared for it every time. One fateful day I got a call for TGC entry and I decided to put my heart and soul to it. I prepared hard but damn I was screened out . Same happened other time. But I knew THAT thing is in me. I didn’t give up.

I would like to highlight the reasons of my failure:

1. Preconceived ideas definitely hamper your PPDT and same happened with me as I wrote the story apart from the scene and concluded it in a way already decided.
2. Getting nervous or overconfident in discussion and keep on interrupting everybody.

This time I avoided these things and got screened in.

As happy as ever.

Rest of the days were good with active participation in GTO tasks by keeping it simple like discussions before doing any group task and listening everyone and not imposing your thoughts on others. Also, in snake race be with your group and help everyone.

Follow the instructions clearly because sometimes they change a rule in GTO. In my case, It was like no one will shout the chest no. From bridge. Few person did as preconceived and they were targeted by the GTO sir.SSB Recommended For TGC 123

You get to show your individual skill in command task and make it count.

Now comes the interview part.

Must things:

  1. Know about yourself perfectly and that includes what you do,where you live, your area and locality,education everything.
  2. The decision taken by you in your life and most importantly why you took the decisions. You must know every reason for the decisions else you may b regarded as careless and irresponsible.
  3. No lies
  4. A look at the world about what is happening around you. Basic news and geo political views must.
  5. For defense background, keep yourself updated with your father’s unit,dress,posting everything.
  6. The answers you don’t know kindly say that you don’t know the answer and if you are making a guess please tell them that you are guessing it. And before the conference get all the answers clear.
  7. TGC guys kindly brush up your basic technical skills because I was asked about 30 mins only technical questions.

The questions which were asked to me

  • Crisis of middle east
  • Suez canal
  • Chinese currency’s devaluation
  • Crude oil prices downfall
  • Educational decision
  • Dinner etiquette
  • About Indian Air Force
  • near about dozen of technical questions
  • PIQ form
  • International and national current affairs like what’s in news
  • sports news about games that I play few others like boxing and tennis

At last, the key to success is self-assessment and that to failure is preconceived ideas.

Barak-8 Missile
Barak-8 Missile

Hello, Warriors, India is one of the most rapidly growing militaries in the world. With the test firing of Agni I ballistic missile and Agni IV ballistic missile, it has expanded its intercontinental strike range. India has evolved from a regional force with tactical capabilities to a growing strategic force with global reach. Though most of the Indian weapons are imported from other countries, it doesn’t give India an upper hand during the conflict with these countries.

Here are the 6 weapons that allow Indian Armed Forces to strike at any corner of the world:

  1. BrahMos Missile: BrahMos is the world’s fastest cruise missile in operation travelling at speeds of Mach 2.8 to 3.0. The land-launched and ship-launched versions are already in service, with the air and submarine-launched versions currently in the testing phase. An air-launched variant of BrahMos is planned which came out in 2012. A hypersonic version of the missile, BrahMos-II, is also presently under development with speed of Mach 7 to boost aerial fast strike capability. It is expected to be ready for testing by 2017. India is now the only nation in the world with this advanced technology.

    BrahMos supersonic cruise missile

  1. Prithvi Missiles: Prithvi is a tactical surface-to-surface short-range ballistic missile (SRBM). Prithvi was the first missile to be developed under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme of the Indian Government. The Prithvi missile project encompassed developing 3 variants for use by the Indian Army (Prithvi I), Indian Air Force (Prithvi II) and Indian Navy (Prithvi III), all of which are currently inducted into the respective forces.

Hey mates, I am Avni Kulshreshtha, a Science graduate from Delhi University. Currently pursuing M.Sc. Environmental Sciences . After clearing AFCAT, I had started preparing myself for every part of the ssb. From PP & DT to all the time bound psych tests to  GTs ! I had full 3 months and did all the workouts required . I was consistent on reading newspapers, articles, framed my opinions on various current and hot topics over the +/-3 months ! Belonging from a defence family, my father had always helped me out , sharing his ssb experience, assessing my conduct, helping me out in preparing

I had full 3 months and did all the workouts required . I was consistent on reading newspapers, articles, framed my opinions on various current and hot topics over the +/-3 months ! Belonging from a defence family, my father had always helped me out , sharing his ssb experience, assessing my conduct, helping me out in preparing lecturette , gave me tips on completing individual obstacles. And then the day came , when I had to leave for Dehradun. Screening was great, OIR was the simplest, PP was good again, DT was full of chaos. Every candidate tries to put his/her story ad the consensus one. Hence, no one came to it. Was sure that I’d be screened in . Then we got the real chest no.s . Chest no. 7 was me! Got to meet 9 awesome people ^_^ We shared an awesome bond, late night talks , to dancing on the music in the rooms ! We had late night discussions ! Psych tests went awesome , did 12/12 tat, 60/60 WAT and 60/60Recommended From 1 AFSB DehradunRecommended For Indian Air Force

Was sure that I’d be screened in . Then we got the real chest no.s . Chest no. 7 was me! Got to meet 9 awesome people ^_^ We shared an awesome bond, late night talks , to dancing on the music in the rooms ! We had late night discussions ! Psych tests went awesome , did 12/12 tat, 60/60 WAT and 60/60 srts! Self Appraisal that I gave in was all genuine and not with a single bookish or interview type words ! Every quality of mine was with an example of a life event . Then came the GTOs ! All about the group dynamics 🙂 In short , its your performance at that moment ! That gets you in ! Interview went fantastic , it was fun , the rapid fire, the general affair questions, questions about the family, friends, likes dislikes, like an informal talk that lasted for an hour ! Conference was awesome , dressed up in formals and exciting till the end . Lasted for 2 minutes and I was out, having a strong feeling that I’d be recommended ! 🙂

To crack SSB interview,  recommend you to get “Let’s Crack SSB Interview” book from Amazon.
Final result: Chest no.7 , Had to exclaim
“Avni Kulshreshtha
