Maths: Maths questions were easy, again a good chances for scoring high marks for the candidates applying for AFA and IMA.

CDS Exam: Last Minute Preparations

CDS Exam: Last Minute Preparations

CDS exams are just round the corner. With so little time left there is no option except to put in every single minute of the remaining days to prepare for this upcoming opportunity of joining the forces. As you know CDSE consists of three papers, English, General Awareness and Mathematics. While the candidates appearing for OTA have to give only the former two papers, the rest have to give all the three papers. Given below are few tips which will help you in preparing last minute for CDSE:

  1. You must be in possession of all the required study materials by now. Whatever books you wanted to refer, whatever study material you wanted to study from and the past year’s papers, you must have all of them by now.
  2. You must have notes made by yourself with you. If you don’t have it then start making point wise notes from now. It is definitely not possible to cover the entire thing in such a less duration of time, but you can note down point wise whatever you can point out to be important.
  3. Get hold of the past years solved papers. They are very useful and helpful. You must read each one of them. Since they are solved they help you a lot, you can get important content for general awareness paper from these solved papers. Thus they are of great use for preparing general awareness, antonym and synonym etc.
    cds exam tips
  4. Solve the model papers; this will give you an idea about your preparations. It’ll also make you come across with some important questions that might appear in this year’s paper.
  5. With the little time you have you can refer to the year book for General Awareness. Year Books are great source of mastering over General Awareness. They have everything important in nutshell. In fact they are like your hand made notes. They cover all the important topics and are very simple to refer to. So make sure that you can go through one year book if possible.
  6. There are some general questions which follow a trend which are almost sure to be given in CDSE. Some of them are important award winners, important sports event winners etc. So follow up with previous year’s paper and ensure that you don’t leave them.
  7. Mathematics is not very high standard. You need to be thorough with the formulae in particular. Write every formula in a sheet of paper so that you can refer to it whenever possible (of course do not take it to the exam hall). You can learn the formula by writing it again and again. They key to success in mathematics is practice. Give time to practice as mathematics will help you score.
  8. Do not rush to complete the un touched portions. Now the time is to strengthen whatever you know. Many candidates do the mistake of leaving the portions which they consider easy to refer at the last moment and rush to do the difficult portions. In the end they end up not answering the easy portions also. Do not do this mistake.
All the best. Do well.

Last Minute Tips for CDS Exam 2020

By

Being a part of country’s defence force is a value for some while glory for others. You need to leave everything to serve the nation wholeheartedly. That’s why thousands of people keep applying for defence forces through various means. There are numerous ways to enter the forces in our country. There could be direct entries, indirect entries, NCC, etc. and CDS is one such way to enter the forces and serve the motherland. Tomorrow is the exam for CDS. All aspirants are set to give best in their exam. This exam is conducted twice a year by UPSC to recruit officers in all the three forces based on the choices opted by the candidates. Once the written exam is cleared the candidates who qualify it are called for the most coveted exam called SSB and once recommended by the board, they become eligible to join the defence forces.

While appearing for the CDS exam the candidates have option to opt for the permanent commission or short service commission in the forces of Army, navy and air force. The syllabus that UPSC has fixed for CDS is very broad and covers a lot of things. Thus candidates are expected to do selective study to make through the written course. The question paper would be of objective nature and there is also negative marking. Few end moment tips from my side could be helpful:

  • Have a strong hold of basics and today is the day to revise just the basics with no more knowledge addition at this instant.
  • Time management is essential and could help in scoring more. Each and every question need not be solved as there is negative marking. Select what you are best at and try solving it.
  • Previous year papers should be checked to know what kind of questions appear and one mock test can be taken on the last day to see what could be the strategy that could help in the flow of solving.

    cds exam tips
  • Reviewing question initially once you get it can help in identifying areas where questions that you are stronger in and could be definitely solved by you may help and then only the flow of solving should be decided.
  • If you are stuck at a point just try moving ahead and don’t waste time too largely on any question.
  • Speed and accuracy can only help in getting the exam clear and being called for the SSB.
  • Mugging up things doesn’t really help in such standard exams but if basics are clear you can win the battle easily.

Also one should remember that after giving CDS the focus should be immediately shifted in preparing for SSB and one should not wait for the result to be declared as once the results are declared you can expect a call for SSB immediately in a period of 1-2 month and hence then time would be less for preparation.

 So once the paper is over tomorrow, no rest to be taken. Just start concentrating on developing your personality and OLQ’s as SSB is a psychometric based assessment where competencies are being tested through various in basket exercises over the period of five days. The SSB is just the simulation of real life scenarios that might occur during the service.  Still if you feel the need of individualised assessment and mocks that can be taken from your home itself through my mentoring program or you have a query bothering your mind which hinders your preparation drop me a mail for more information at [email protected] or add me on Fb and drop in a message. It would be a pleasure to help and resolve queries and clear doubts which are more often myths that are present in the place. Remember SSB is a easy exam to clear where you just have to reveal your true self in a systematic way, nothing more than this is needed.

Preparing for AFCAT SSB Interview

afsb interview

AFCAT results are out. Congratulations to all those who could clear the written and to those who couldn’t, review your mistakes and prepare better the next time. The next step after clearing the written is Service Selection Board Interview, or as we know for IAF it is AFSB interview. Basically SSB and AFSB interviews are the same thing. I am sure all of you must have looked the dates for SSB and many would have made their mind to choose the date of their choice, while many have chosen it already. AFSB is a crucial interview and unlike the normal job interviews, it requires an all-round preparation. Let us see how you can prepare for this interview.  

ssbinterviewbook

Start by knowing the full procedure of AFSB interview. This is especially important for those who are going for the interview for the first time.

Make sure you know what you filled in as your choice for the branches. Many tend to forget and you have to fill it in the form there. Well if you have forgotten then try to recollect and if not possible you can ask them for help while filling up the form in AFSB.

If you are planning to go for a coaching, make sure you decide, choose the best one and go for it as soon as possible. It is not advisable to go for coaching just before SSB. Going in advance will give you time to implement the things taught and thus prepare on your own self.

Start your physical fitness regime as soon as possible. As this is something that requires times and you can build up stamina over time only.

Start the preparation for current affairs also as soon as possible. Current affairs are an important part of preparation. They are required to speak in the Group Discussion. They are required in the interview and they are required in the lecturette. Start by reading a newspaper or listening to news daily.

oir test and ppdt

It’ll be very beneficial if you start acquiring some information about the aircrafts and missiles of Indian Airforce. This knowledge might be required in the interview.

If you are from a defence background, be prepared with a lot of things related to the job of your family member who is in defence and/or questions about that service in particular.

Get to know the rank structure, the commands of IAF. Get to know about the major wars/operations in which IAF has contributed.

Start practicing for the psychological test. You can get the  sample slides on our website, with the help of which you can time your writing speed and learn to write in time and efficiently

Make sure you can answer basic questions form the background of your graduation or post-graduation. Technical entry graduates need to prepare better as they might be asked a lot of questions related to their field. You are advised to possess knowledge about the branch of IAF in which you’ll be working and what your role will be. All the best. Get set and go!

afsb interview

AFSB is the same thing as SSB is, i.e. service selection board interview. Here in AFSB AF stands for Air Force. There are four centers in our country where this AFSB interview takes place. Mostly the AFCAT entries and NDA and CDSE entries (who have given their preference as flying) go there for the interview. These centers are in Dehradun (1 AFSB), Mysore (2 AFSB), Gandhinagar (3 AFSB), Varanasi (4 AFSB) and Kancharapara (5 AFSB). Let us see in detail what happens at AFSB. The whole procedure is being looked upon from AFCAT interview point of view, the timings might differ in case of NDA and CDSE interviews, however the tests remain the same.
Prepare for your AFSB Interview with best books

5 Days Procedure of AFSB Interview

  • Day 1: This is the screening day in AFSB and you are generally asked to report early morning by 6:45 AM – 7 AM at the railway station. You will board in an IAF bus to reach the selection centre. First, you will be welcomed at the AFSB by a senior officer and briefed about the rules and regulations, later you will be asked to fill in some forms followed by a quick breakfast but we suggest to have your breakfast prior to that because the testing will be a long process. Once the paper formalities are done, you will be facing the first test of the SSB interview and that is OIR Test. After which PPDT is conducted. Based on the strength, the results are announced by afternoon and the selected candidates goes to the testing room again for the document verification. The remaining candidates are dropped back to the railway station. The document checks followed for the selected candidates immediately and If you have an issue with documents and you are not eligible for the entry, you will be sent back too or asked to report later in a different batch with complete documents. 
  • Day 1: Once the document verification is done, all the successful candidates will be facing a long long psychological test till night. You will be tired and broken like anything and you will face a long 4-5 hours psychological tests. This will make this test more challenging and really a psychological challenge. To prepare for this test, do not forget to read Breaking The Code of SSB Psychological Tests
  • Day 2, 4 and 5: Your interview and GTO tests might fall on any of these days. Generally, you get one free day in AFSB. Some of you might have your GTO/Interview on the last day also. Some may have GTO/Interview on the same day but the timings won’t clash for the two. You might go directly from GTO for the interview. You are required to carry the folder and all certificates, academics and extra-curricular to the interview, make sure whatever you claim in your PIQ form, you must have proper certificates to verify that, you can not simply say that you left the certificates at home. The interview is generally a 30 minutes-60 minutes procedure. You’ll be informed well in advance through a notice placed on the notice board about the schedule of your tests.  
  • Day 5: This is the conference day. Some may have their interview/GTO scheduled before the conference also. The conference is a place where you get to see all the board members in the uniform. You result is discussed there. You are called in the conference hall and the process is of hardly a minute, it may stretch for border line cases. After the conference your results are announced, it’s lunchtime by now. Those who make through are asked to stay back for the remaining formalities and others are taken back to the railways station.
  • Flying: Flying candidates will go for CPSS and PABT tests.
  • Medical: In AFSB the medical may not take place immediately after the selection. You will be given a date for the medical. Ask the board for the procedure when in doubt.

What GTO Looks for In a Group Discussion?

By
Jayendra Singh
-

Group Discussion GTO

Group Discussion or GD has been a part of regular selections for any organisation but there will be GD’s that will happen in SSB too, but with different tone. The GD that happens at the time of screening round would be based on group discussing the hazy picture while the GD that happens during the GTO round would be based on some topic of interest.

The similarity between the GD’s is that in all the things that happen for SSB, the OLQ’s are only being judged in the aspirant. The difference lies in the GD’s that happen in SSB and other jobs is that everything is psychologically judged at SSB and search of qualities is there. So remember this in mind and perform and prepare accordingly.

It is the basic quality of human being that they tend to give suggestions and discuss their view points in group and the same is expected in the GD also, but people consider GD in different tones and sometimes make it a fish market. So remember this in GD that it’s simply a group discussing about a topic, so all the group norms should be followed.

Sufficient time would be given so that everyone has the opportunity to present their views. People have many misconceptions related to GD that if they speak more or if they start speaking they will get benefits. This does not actually happen and sometimes get the whole group out because of the few people only. I will discuss fish market situation in a different article. Now let’s see what the GTO tries to search in a aspirant while he is performing in a GD:

  • Good Communication skills are must in GD. English should be the preferred language as many people are there from regions where Hindi is not a prevalent language and they will not understand it. So we should keep this in mind.
  • Leadership is the main observation, but this does not mean that the one who speaks first would only be a leader. A leader has many characteristics and hence all are being observed by the GTO. A moderator is also sometimes looked as a leader, so choose the role that you best fit in.
  • Depth of the subject and the knowledge that is being presented related to the topics also helps in getting noticed in a group. Also the subject matter should be supplemented with examples.
  • Listening to group members is also essential as it may help in conducting a discussion in a beneficial way .Sometimes the GTO may ask for conclusion and hence then the person who listens well only performs well as he knows all the relevant points.

You should know what to do and how to behave in a group and that should be followed diligently. So keep on working hard towards your goal and see what could be the final result off your hard work.

What Not To Do This Diwali
SSBCrack is wishing you a happy Diwali. Our team wishes each and every follower of our website a very prosperous and safe Diwali. Diwali is a major festival of our country, like Christmas & Eid. It is celebrated in high spirits all over the country, with great joy and enthusiasm. We want you too take care of a few things this Diwali, though you may have heard most of it many times, yet it is our appeal this time too that you follow them.

  1. Please do not burn a lot of crackers. It is good to show your happiness but are crackers the only way to show it? If you are very fond of them burn a few which are less noisy.
  2. Instead of candles light the diya’s. They are much ecofriendly way of celebrating diwali. Plus you’ll be bringing happiness to the homes of the small vendors who prepare them and sell them.
  3. Instead of going to big places for shopping of diya’s and other stuff, buy them from the small vendors who sell it.
  4. Try not to bargain with the vendors as you buy stuff from them. Would you bargain at Reliance Fresh or Big Bazaar? Then why here?
    Indian Army Diwali
  5. Buy happiness for some under privileged kid. Happiness does not necessarily means a box full of crackers and a new dress. It’ll mean a bar of chocolate or a few sweets.
  6. Do not irritate animals by burning crackers near them. How would it fel if they did the same to you?
  7. Convince somebody to not burst crackers. Find somebody who bursts a lot of crackers, convince that person to reduce the amount or stop. It is good to work against pollution.
  8. Take care of your grand-parents or anybody who is ill. In the pomp and show of diwali do not forget their comfort.
  9. Talk a little about the well-being of the kid you see selling diwali stuff on the streets. If possible buy something from them.
  10. Do anything else you feel will make this diwali a better and happier one, not only for you but for others too.
  11. Spreading good message is nice, so spread this message as much as you can.
Happy Diwali!
