ssb personal interview

Personal Interview in the SSB Interview is the most important assessment. This is because it gives you a chance to interact and present your personality in front of an officer. The interview can increase your chance of getting selected. The officer taking an interview is a high-rank officer and his opinion in your selection matters a lot. Given below are things you must know about the personal interview.
  1. The interview is a one on one talk with an officer of the board. The length of the interview may lie between 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  2. The length of the interview doesn’t determine your selection criteria, however, the quality of the interview does.
  3. The PI is not a test to check you GK, subject knowledge or anything else. It is just a way to check your honesty, awareness about yourself and surroundings.
  4. You are expected to be dressed in decent clothes. This doesn’t mean that you wear a three piece suit. Wear simple formal/semi-formal attire. However, if you called for interview directly after GT, you can proceed in your GT dress.
    Everything You Should Know About Personal Interview in SSB
  5. In AFSB you are informed in well advance about the interview, in Navy and Army sometimes you are informed in well advance and sometimes you might be called immediately.
  6. You are not expected to know everything about everything, but still it is advisable for you to know the minimum level of current affairs. Hence keep yourself abreast with latest events and happenings.
  7. If you don’t know something it’s better to accept it in a polite manner rather than beat around the bush.
  8. If more than one officer is sitting in the interview it doesn’t have anything to do with you, it simply means that one of them is an under training Interviewing Officer.
  9. The interview is not necessarily taken by the president of the board. But the IO is always an officer of high rank and his rank is above the GTO and Psychologist.
  10. Interview questions are asked from the PIQ form only, some of you may totally disagree but if you focus on this fact you will understand that any question asked in the interview is somehow related to your PIQ form.
  11. The questions asked will cover your academic, personal and professional life (as covered in the PIQ). Some unusual questions might be asked related to GK, to check how you perform under stress and to check whether you are honest or not.
  12. The whole PI or for that matter SSB revolves around the fact that an individual is bound to reveal his/her genuine personality when put under the stress of some kind, like time-bound stress or mental stress.
  13. IO will always try to make you comfortable so that you speak your heart out, remember this and be cautious while speaking and try not to get over friendly. There is a distance which should be maintained between you and him (being elder and a serving officer of high rank), maintain this distance.
  14. Be polite but firm in your opinions.
  15. Ladies are advised to tie their hair properly, wear simple attire and avoid make-up.

Primary Training Establishments of the Tri-Services

The tri-services of India consist of Army, Navy and Air Force. All the three have specialized training institutions which are very prestigious and renowned.  There is one tri-services training establishment called National Defence Academy, NDA which works as a feeder for some of these institutions.

Let us look which these training institutions are:

Army

Indian Army has got three major institutions they are Indian Military Academy, Officers Training Academy Chennai and Officers Training Academy Gaya.
  1. Indian Military Academy (IMA): IMA is situated in Dehradun. The IMA has excellent facilities for all-round development. It is meant for training men for permanent commission in the Army. The future officers of Indian Army pass out through the portals of the Indian Military Academy where rigorous training in leadership, self-discipline and the art of war is imparted to them before they actually take their place as officers in command of troops. The alumni of the IMA have time and again displayed sterling qualities of character, leadership and gallantry often including the supreme sacrifice for the cause of the nation. You can join IMA through National Defence Academy, Combined Defence Service Examination, Army Cadet College, Technical Graduates Entry, and University Entry Scheme.
  2. Officers Training Academy (OTA), Chennai: It is situated in Chennai. It is meant to train all short service commission officers (both men and women) before they get inducted into the Indian Army. The duration of training in OTA is 49 weeks. The selection process is a written exam followed by the SSB interview and medicals.  For Technical (Engineering) graduates and law graduates it is direct SSB interview and medicals.  If you have done NCC Senior Division (Army) and obtained ‘C’ certificate with minimum ‘B’ grade, you can apply through your NCC Branch HQ/Zonal HQ to Recruiting Directorate for direct SSB interview. SSB qualified candidates undergo a medical examination. SSC means tenure of 10 years extensible up to 14 years. At the end of this period you have two options.  Either elect for a Permanent Commission or opt out. Those not selected for Permanent Commission have the option of a 4 years extension.  They can resign at any time during this period. A Short Service Commission empowers you with analytical thinking, planning skills, administrative and organizational abilities. 
  3. Officers Training Academy, Gaya: It is a premier institute of Indian Army located in Gaya. OTA Gaya trains the 10+2 Technical entry scheme boys to join permanent commission in the Army. It is meant for TES and SCO entry. The duration of training is one year. It prepares the Gentlemen Cadets for the upcoming Army life. You can join this for 10+2 entry, you can apply after your 12th Exams. Minimum aggregate of 70% is mandatory in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. You will be detailed for SSB interview based on the cut off as decided by Recruiting Directorate. Look out for the advertisement published in leading newspapers/employment news in May/Dec every year.

Difficulty Level of AFCAT 1 2014 Questions

  • General Awareness: GK questions were moderate and a mix of history, sports, defence, polity etc. Few questions were simple enough to score but overall most of the candidates might not expect much from GK section.
  • Verbal Ability in English: This section was not that easy this time, starting from the comprehension passage which was not asked directly and had some difficulty, synonyms and antonyms were strong and so on. Overall one can score more than enough marks from this section.
  • Numerical Ability: Maths section was an old story, a regular AFCAT candidate can judge that all questions were similar to previous papers and there was nothing new. With little practice of previous question papers, one can score almost 100% in this section. 
  • Reasoning and Military Aptitude Test: This section was easy this time, it was divided into many parts and candidates must have faced few questions with new pattern. Shockingly, few questions were repeated from last AFCAT papers. Overall this was the easiest part in the whole AFCAT 1 2014

Last Minute Tips for AFCAT 1 2014

AFCAT 1 2014 is going to be conducted tomorrow all over India. Here is SSBCrack presenting before all the AFCAT aspirants some last minute tips for tomorrow’s exam.

  1. The admit card needs to be printed in color, hence get a colored print out of the admit card.
  2. Fill up all the formalities which need to be filled up on the admit card like pasting a photograph, signature etc.
  3. Remember you have to carry a valid photo ID card along with your admit card to the exam center. Examples of valid photo ID card are: College ID, Passport, Driving License, Pan Card, Voter ID card. It is very important to carry one such card otherwise you’ll not be allowed to appear for the exam.
  4. Carry a blue/black ball point pen along with you.
  5. You’ll not be allowed to retain the question paper and neither the rough sheet, don’t mark anything on any of these otherwise strict actions will be taken against you by the board.
  6. Report on the given time itself. Some of you must be asked to report at morning time and some at 11 am, the exam will begin after two hours of the reporting time, yet you must report at the time at which you asked to because there are other formalities which need to be taken care of.
  7. Some of you must be outstation candidates make sure you have made the necessary arrangements to reach on time.

  8. The test will be of two hour duration and will carry 100 questions, which will be a mix of all the areas like GK, English, Mathematics and reasoning. Each question in AFCAT carries 3 marks, if you attempt it correctly. There is a minus one for each wrong answer and if you leave the question un-attempted there will be no marking on it.
  9. OMR sheet will be given to you. Listen to all the instructions very carefully and fill the OMR sheet with utmost care. Any wrong marking on the OMR sheet might result in the cancellation of your candidature; hence it is very important that you fill it carefully and correctly.
  10. Keep marking the answers on the OMR sheet as you solve the paper.
  11. The test might be a little lengthy hence if you get struck in any question, especially in mathematics part, do not waste time there, move forward and try to attempt the maximum of it.
  12. There is a negative marking hence attempt only those questions which you are sure of. You can take risk if the chances are 70-80 percent that your guess will be correct.
  13. At this last moment do not study any portion you have not touched till now, revise the previous studied part, formulas for mathematics, awards etc.
  14. Read your admit card properly and make sure you know where you center is, if you don’t know then leave a little earlier.
  15. If you don’t know the AFCAT center’s exact location, don’t worry, there are direction signs placed on the roadside, above the pillars etc. around a kilometer before the center so you can look for your center.

Good luck and put in your best effort for the first step you will be taking tomorrow to “touch the sky with glory”!
