Hello friends, I am PRASHANT KUMAR SINGH.

“Even if we don’t have the POWER to choose where we come from, WE can still choose where we go from there”

I don’t know who said it, but I do know that words are effective in my life. I did my schooling from SAINIK SCHOOL GHORAKHAL, NAINITAL. I cleared my NDA 124 written and cleared my SSB from 11 SSB ALLAHABAD but got medically unfit in 2010 February. But with only 62 % in 12th I took a drop year and tried to introspect myself about coming challenges. My family was always there to support me in every condition and maybe that was the reason I  decided to take engineering as career. I joined NRI INSTITUTE in BHOPAL in 2011. I checked INDIAN ARMY WEBSITE regularly for upcoming entries.

In third year I cleared my UES college level selection but skipped the ssb because my GATE 2015 was approaching. My motive was clear, focus on current career. As a result of which I cleared my GATE exam with help of my teachers from college and my friends Selveen and Rambahor from college. I got 343 GATE SCORE. As the final year paper were about to end I applied for TGC 122. I had an aggregate CGPA of 8.23 in graduation from mechanical so I was sure of ssb call letter.

After my final paper was over I decided to prepare for ssb and the first step was, frankly admitting to parents about the fear of failure I had. My father told me that, take this chance to prove yourself that five years ago you cleared ssb because you have certain qualities not by luck. This proved to be the catalyst in my preparation. My friend PRIYANKA SHRIVASTAVA also played an important role by supporting me in my decisions. In fact I would suggest all the aspiring candidates to share everything with parents and loved ones as it helps getting a support and it also makes you feel confident about facing the ssb.Recommended For Indian Army TGC 122 From 24 SSB Bangalore

My preparation was basically focused around the introspection and the changes in me that took place in 5 year. My communication skills were still good but GK and GS needed a lot of improvement .I started reading newspapers editorial pages, kept myself up to date by help of internet. I made daily notes about news. For TAT and WAT I did random practice, I took any random word and made story. I was previously recommended so I focused on negative words for WAT. For SRT I just tried to be true to myself by putting myself in that situation.

For GTO I just played football and cricket for physical fitness.

Now I will start sharing my experience about my ssb. As soon as I got my interview date of 16th October 2015 at Banglore , I booked my tickets in Rajdhani Express from Bhopal. On 14th morning, I boarded the train and reached destination on 15th . I reached on railway station next day in afternoon. By evening, all the candidates were at selection centre.

Next day after the OIR test we all were given a picture of 2 people sitting facing each other on a table. I perceived one of them as a girl and made my story around organizing cultural event in college and showed girl as lead character. It does not matter who you make your hero all that matters is your narration and procedure used to solve the problem.

During the discussion just try to help your group by giving logic and supporting the common idea. Out of 259 only 37 got selected.

In the next day psychology test I performed well as I had prepared for most of it.  I did all the words all the SRT and wrote 11 line each SD. Everyone can perform good just do practice of writing.

In both the GD’s I initiated and spoke for 4 times in each GD. Topics can be of any field, just give good points and listen to others. In the GPE also I participated well and gave the final group plan. In individual obstacles I did all 10 in 3 minutes. Since I was previously selected candidate so I stood behind in FGT and HGT and tried to help group by giving ideas. In the CT I was called 3 times in group of 10. In the lecture also my preparation for GK helped me because the knowledge can be applied anywhere. Topics may vary but presentation of lecture can be practiced .

In the INTERVIEW  I was asked about changes I faced since last attempt. How I prepared for GK . How I performed good in graduation. Relation of India with all the neighbors. Then I was asked many questions about technical field, like diff between SI and CI engine. How can I contribute to army being a mechanical engineer.

For the interview all I would advice is that try to know more about yourself. Talk to friends, girlfriend , family or anyone who knows you so that you can know where you lack and where you excel. After all interview is all about you. You should have clear logic for every answer you speak during interview. Being honest always helps you.

In the conference I was asked only 2 questions. How was the food and how was the facility for accommodation.

I replied “everything was fine sir”.

In the final result, only 6 got selected out of 37. I got recommended continuously 2nd time . This time from 24 SSB Bangalore. I was declared medically fit for ARMY and now I am waiting for merit next month.

Hello everyone, this is Shubham Sonker .As you guys are reading this article, you already have an upper hand and have competed with 50% of the candidates who applied for this post, Yes keep your Aspirations high and be self-motivated ,it will help you a way long in your ssb procedure, now here’s how you’d beaten 50% candidates. Gentlemen ICG has improved selection system over conventional selection procedure, Most of the loop Holes are refined here. Every Stage is elimination stage to check your dedication towards armed forces. So if you observe gentlemen ICG always opens its Online application form filling with a short notice of advertisement and for a short period, also the dates of downloading call letter is known for 10-15 days but after 5-8 days Error will be shown on the website. This is to check the dedication and consistency, along with active mildness and how responsible is the candidate towards his ambitions and to defense as such. We were informed this by a officer at ICG.

So I’ll be discussing about basic such things to follow along with Tips to perform in that Stage and how did I perform there, which will brief you with an idea. And when general procedures are concerned SSBcrack and google has enough information on it just type “ psb or Fsb procedure at fsb”.And if you need more data you can mail me on my maid id mentioned at the last of this article.

So here I start with PSB:-

1-This is a day long procedure where two stages are done consecutively at the same day(some articles mention 2 days, but now it is for 1day).

2-stages consist of Intelligence Test followed by results and elimination of almost 50-60% candidates and other who qualify have to appear for ppdt which is again a elimination stage, however here the rejection percentage in quite less, if you perform average.

A-)Intelligence test.

Tips

1-)5-7 days before psb are enough to practice for intelligence test, Use R.S Agarwal reasoning ar any material you find good.

2-)Go through SSB crack website and read 2-3 articles about psb procedure as here 7 sections of different time intervals are there and you need to prepare accordingly with time constraints.

3-)The time limits are not known and they change questions depending on toughness quotient (5,10,15 sec)so prepare yourself for 5-7 sec as most of questions will be for that time limit.

4-)The OMR has square boxes which takes time to fill, use a thick needle pen 0.7mm and above.

5-)After every section there is a change in slide and examples are shown which takes 5-10 secs where you can complete shading squares, Although don’t be fully dependent on that time.

6-)Try to take seat in first 3 rows, for clarity.

7-)No negative marking attempt all questions.

8-)If you score 50% and above your chances are of being selected and for that you need to attempt 90-95% of paper with good accuracy to be on safe side.

9-)Test is projector based.

My Experience

1-Attempted 79-80 questions in all

2-After 20-30 questions the questions are easier. The marks lost can be regained hereon, I did same.

3-Attention is to be paid on questions having 3-5 options and then followed by such options.

a-b

b-d

c-a

d-c

e-a

now in circling focus on circling(a,b,c,d or e)which is right rather than(b,d,a,c or a)

Now results will be announced and you’ll be given chest no’s in according to your score in intelligence test.

B-a)PPDT

1-Pictures displayed here are clear than ssb ones.

2-4 mins given to write, and instructions are same as ssb.

3-Focus on quality and not quantity.

My experience

1-Story had to be given a theme, my was rubbish ,however I wrote story really well.

2-My story didn’t complete but the part I wrote was of quality sufficient enough to judge olq’s.

B-b)PPDT(GD followed by story writing)

1-After story writing break is of 15-20 mins.Try to remember the story and if left incomplete, here you have sufficient time to complete and reside it in GD.

2-Avoid wasting time in Chit-chats, it won’t help you as Group leader is not made on interaction but the one who performs well in GD.

3-While residing your story maintain eye contact with everyone, correct body postures, and self confidence with a loud and clear voice.

4-Meanwhile others speak listen them carefully and also in meantime revise the thoughts you made outside to speak in GD.Yes, predetermined thoughts which are unique and story dependent, do help.

5-Speak at 1-3 no’s at GD.And speak for at least 2-3 times more at intervals and don’t repeat points.

6-At last when psychologist says about last 2 mins.Just complete the discussion taking place in GD and reside them with a conclusion which forces your team to appoint you as their Group leader.

7-Recide story to psychologist, pay attention this will not be your story ,its group story. Even if your story was not good, and different from group, if you recide groups story which relevant points included from yours too. You have 100% chances of being screened in still.Recommended By Indian Coast Guard

My experience

1-After listening everyone’s story I felt little low. But participated in discussion with predetermined points of mine which can be seen in picture and were correct.

2-Entered gd in 2nd number.

3-Spoke 3-4 times as gd was of whole 15 mins.at last 2 mins I summed up with the conclusion to my group and was appointed as a group leader.

4-I resided a group story in front of boards president. Be prepared for this.

SSB Recommended For Indian Army Through TGC 122 In My 3rd Attempt

SSB Recommended Candidate Allahabad

Hey, friends. I am Ankit Mamgain recommended Indian army through TGC 122 in my 3rd attempt from 11 SSB Allahabad. I was always fascinated by olive green uniform with stars on your shoulders and always wanted to join the army. My SSB journey started in Feb 2015 for UES Indian Navy at 33 SSB Bhopal as a fresher with little knowledge about the process and I got conference out. I had no idea about the process and everything was new to me.  During my final semester I applied for SSC tech 45 but due to lack of preparation of GD I got screened out. Though I did prepare for GK and about Indian army but I forgot about the basic activity that is how to speak well. Friends, do prepare for GDs as it is very important. Especially if you are repeater, it is very important. Talk to your friends and family in daily life try to take a discussion happening as the group discussion. Don’t shout though. Just think and talk and move the flow of discussion to your side. It helped me a lot guys. Also I took some minor coaching from Col. R.K Gupta Sir from Ambala Cantt and it helped me a lot understanding the facts of all process of SSB. Though it was not a kind of formal coaching.

oir test and ppdt

Then finally I applied for TGC-122 and got a call for SSB on 5th November. After my last ssb I started working for a startup as a Marketing Manager and eventually I started enjoying my work. Just one day before the date of reporting I was talking to my friend and I told him I am in no mood of attending the interview. He kicked my ass for that and told me to go for it even if you are back on day 1. I thought lets try again.

I reached Allahabad on 4th Nov morning. Slept whole day and reported on Platform 1 of Allahabad Railway station. Around 300 candidates reported for TGC 122 and 300 for SSC Tech 46. Made some good friends on my way to SSB centre. After reaching SSB centre and document verification the test started. Verbal and non-Verbal test went well. After the test a PPDT started. A hazy picture of a man sitting in an office with a man showing some papers to him was shown to us. After the PPDT, group of 20 students were made and the GD started. My narration was bang on and in discussion I spoke only once but clearly and with proper modulation of my voice. I was not expecting my name but the result came and my chest number was announced. 165 it was. It felt good but I knew the main battle has just started. Fill you PIQ properly guys. It matters  a lot. Avoid cutting and overwriting.

Next day was for Psychology Tests. I did well in TAT, WAT, SRT by writing positive stories and sentences and using common sense while answering SRT. Guys all SRT’s can be done using common sense nothing else. Attempted 50 SRT’s and completed all Words on time. Wrote honest SD.

Next day was GTO. The basic thing that matters in all task of GTO is cooperation. During GD’s stick to one lead that is given by GTO. During PGT’s just cooperate. Speak loudly and try to implement ideas. If you have no idea, help in implementing other idea given by your group. Shift position if you think someone has good idea. It will strengthen your position in group. Same thing goes for HGT. During Group obstacle race, shout the war cry as loud and often as you can. If GTO says someone has broken a rule, go back and do it even if you have not done it. Help the weak members of the group and always have a winning smile on your face. Then was individual obstacle task. I completed 10 obstacles  and gave my best and GTO saw that. Next was the day 2 of GTO and the interview was scheduled. The day started with command task.  When I was called GTO had a friendly discussion and asked my who is best in your group. I said I stand at no 1 position as I have given 100%. I was called thrice and during my chance the task was of moderate difficulty but I got completely flipped when I saw my task. One stupid mistake I did was after trying for few minutes I asked my sub ordinates whether they have any idea or not. GTO scolded me and asked me to do it myself and don’t give in easily. The command task took 25 mins but eventually I was able to complete it. During the task GTO was shouting at me for taking so much time and many times said 2 3 mins left, 30 sec left but I didn’t give in. I was disappointed after the task as I could’ve done better. Still, I did well in Final group task with full enthusiasm as it was in my PGT.

ssbinterviewbook

My interview went for 15 20 mins. I was interviewed by Dep. President of 11 SSB. It was all a friendly discussion. I gave confident reply to every question and answered politely that Sir, I don’t know but ill surely find out about it. Basically the interview went on around my life events.

SSB Recommended Candidate Allahabad

Then the final day arrived. The D-day. I was not sure whether I’ll be selected or not but was happy with my performance this time as I gave my 100%. It took around 10 15 mins before my chest number was displayed and then I realized maybe I have a chance. When I went in they asked me about my experience. Next question was in 10 lines tell me what you’ve learnt this time. The 10th point I Said was Sir, I came to know how to get recommended as I’ll be getting recommended this time for sure. Asked me questions which Dep. President asked me during an interview.  Then he said why army. You have done B.tech then you are working in marketing and then Army. After my conference I went to have a quick bite with my friends and as soon as I came back we were called for the result announcement. The officer came and started with the chest number. My chest number was announced after two candidates and it took a moment to realize it was my chest no. Chest no 30 it was. 5 candidates were recommended out of which 3 candidates were previously recommended candidates and 2 including me were repeaters.

The best feeling of my life and that too unexpected. I want to thank my parents, Col. R.K Gupta and my friends for motivating me and telling me that I had it in me. Special shout out to SSBCrack for their efforts and the awesome book “let’s crack ssb interview” they published. I bought that just 2 weeks before my SSB and it helped me a lot. Medicals will start from 16th of this month and fingers crossed all will be well.

Thanks for reading my experience.
