afcat exam tips

AFCAT is conducted two times every year, and the right time to start the preparation is now. With the lowering cutoff, raising standard of the question paper and inclusion of EKT for Technical Students, AFCAT is no more the exam which you can clear with a week’s preparation. You must know the rising number of merit outs as well, so to secure your place later on in the merit list it is very essential that you prepare well to get good marks now, in the written test. Here are some guidelines on how to clear AFCAT 1 2015:

 

  1. Start soon, start now: As I mentioned earlier too, that the right moment to start the preparation for AFCAT is now. The best to prepare is to stop procrastinating and starting what needs to be done now. The saying might be old, but is true that once the time is gone it’ll never come back.
  2. Know the domain: Gather information about what all comes in the exam. If this is your first attempt, you need to be more cautious and check out in the notification about the syllabus of AFCAT. You can ask those who have already appeared, or refer to the material available on our site for the same.
  3. Previous year’s papers: IAF published old papers for AFCAT on its career website, also you can find it on our website. Refer to them to get a clear picture of what kind of question comes.
  4. Jot it down: once you get an idea of the domain and type of questions, you can start noting the important things in a notebook. This will save you from the hassle of running through various webpages, thick books in the end. Writing important points in nutshell is helpful always.
  5. Smart work: Smart work is a combination of Hardwork and clever work. The paper of AFCAT is objective, and the way the questions are asked is objective too. Unlike CDSE you need not study in depth and understand the concept. Instead you need to take a smart way, according to the types of questions asked and prepare accordingly.
  6. Reliable sources: Refer to the study material form reliable sources only. We at SSBCrack, try to provide the best possible study material with the lowest cost, you can give us a try. Also you can refer to other books like yearbooks.
  7. EKT: EKT was tough for people in the previous AFCAT’s. Merely because you need to understand basic concepts for solving it. Refer to a good book for EKT, because for Technical branch you need to clear EKT otherwise you are not selected for SSB even if you clear the main AFCAT paper.
  8. Keep calm and move on: Maybe you have faced failures in the previous attempts. But believe in yourself and move on. With your determination you’ll make it this time. This is a fresh attempt, put all your efforts and emerge victorious. Nothing can stop you.

Though none of the Armed Force is lesser than the other yet Air Force has a charm of its own. Let us see the 15 best reasons to join IAF.

ssbinterviewbook
  1. The motto: ‘Touch the sky with glory, this motto in itself is a reason enough to join this branch of the Armed Forces. Each word in the motto is filled with inspiration and honor.
  2. Live in a jet plane, to learn to fly one: You get a chance to not only fly a jet but get paid for doing so. So it is a job full of adventure, pride, and satisfaction.
  3. Everyone is equally important: Being a pilot is not the only way you can be a part of this institution. Even if you join it as an engineer, or as a ground staff, you’ll still get the chance of working amongst the sprawling and the thundering jets. You’ll be providing valuable assistance to IAF.
  4. Adventure on the go: The number of adventure sports you can do, when in the Air Force, is countless. Paragliding, skydiving, car rally, rafting are just a few names, the list is long. In no other job, you’ll get a chance to enjoy all of this.
  5. Security: A job in IAF is full of security, right from the security of the job to the security of your parents and family. You get amenities for them all.
  6. Money: Whether you agree or not, but money is important to live in this world. The pays and perks in IAF are not only enough but attractive. It’s not only the money but other perks too, which make it a whole package.
  7. Style: Can you find anybody more attractive than an officer, in the uniform, with the perfect manners and the amazing aviators. I can bet no! The style is not only about the uniform or the pipes; it is about the etiquettes and manners too.
  8. Camaraderie and companions: You spend a huge amount of time in training, you make friends there. Your fellow officers in whichever unit you get posted become a family for you. It is a lasting bond.
  9. Permanent Commission for Women: IAF offers permanent commission to women, in some of its branches. So you don’t have to think of a different option after 10+4 years.
  10. No CO issues: While the Commanding Officers in Army are dreaded, in Air Force they are cool!
  11. Postings: Postings are not something that brings anxiety; because you get to visit new places, an adventure in itself, and almost all the stations have family accommodation.
  12. Food: AFSB food is the best food amongst any SSB selection center.
  13. The foreign tours: You may get a chance to visit places out of India, entirely for work purposes.
  14. The magical words: Because ‘I am in IAF’ are the four most magical words anybody can ever hear.
  15. Because it is IAF: You have to be a little tough to join Army, a little intelligent to join the Navy, but a mix of both to join the IAF!

Indian Coast Guard Final Selection Board Interview Experience

Indian Coast Guard

I attended PSB for Indian Coast Guard Assistant Commandant 01/2016 batch at Coast Guard Regional Headquarters (west), Mumbai. The drive was to be conducted for 6 days starting from 22 June to 27 June 2015. Mine was on 22 June 2015 and there were two batches exclusively for the GD branch on that day, one in morning session at 0800 hrs and other in the afternoon session at 1200 hrs. To begin with, I was in the morning batch for which 400 candidates were called but only 54 reported due to the heavy rainfall in Mumbai. The procedure started at sharp 0800 hrs by letting us enter the headquarters compound on production of acknowledgement cum admit card that coast had sent to us online. It is very important to take two copies of the same.

We were all seated inside a tarpaulin made shelter arranged with chairs inside. A lady officer of the rank of Deputy Commandant comes and gives us all the instructions to be followed. A grueling session of document verification is held afterwards for 3 hours. It is important to carry educational certificates of 10th, 12th and graduation alongwith documents that are mentioned in the notification. Also carry two photocopy of each and every document, those who did not have the photocopies were asked to get them by 0900 hrs. After the document verification a set of photocopy was retained by them, the original and a photocopy was handed over to us and we proceeded to a waiting area and then we were instructed to memorize our roll no. and proceed for the first round of testing i.e., Mental ability test for which we are allowed to carry only a pen. We stood outside the testing room and one by one our names were called out and we were given OMR sheets in which our name, father’s name, DOB and roll no. were mentioned. We then cross checked it and then entered an AC room with a projector and a chair on which the psychologist was sitting and reading some newspaper magazine. He started with a brief introduction about coast guard and a motivation talk to make us feel at ease, the instructions were also given. The test consisted of 80 questions divided in seven sections. The first six sections had 10 questions each but the last one had 20 questions. It is more or less like OIR in SSB.Indian Coast Guard

The very important factor here is the time constraint, because you get atmost 60 seconds, some questions even has to be answered in 5 seconds while others within 10 seconds which includes looking up to the projector, reading the question, processing the answer, looking down to answer sheet and then filling the option which is square in shape instead of oval, making it more time consuming. An internal clock is set for every question and soon after the time allotted for that question gets over the next question appears and you don’t get a chance to get back to a particular question unlike SSB, much or less like the impracticality of taking bath twice in the same river water. As a whole the test was not good for me and was obviously far more difficult and time consuming than OIR in SSBs, but I made every effort to attempt all questions. After the test we were sent back to our waiting area and within half an hour our results for the first round were declared. I was had a mixed feeing of shock and excitement when my name was called out. In all 27 out of 54 were qualified for second round, remaining were asked to try again with a positive hope and were sent back. Others went for lunch and were asked to report back by 1345 hrs. At 1430, 27 candidates were now given chest no.s, mine was 2 and then taken to the same testing room, now the same psychologist was sitting there and he instructed us about the PPDT round. We were given a sheet just like what is given at SSBs, and we are supposed to fill in our particulars. A picture was then shown to us on the projector where a woman was on the bed and a man was standing beside her with hand on his head and face turned on other side. After the story writing our story paper was taken back we were again made to wait in the waiting area till 1530 hrs. After this we were divided in a group of 15 and 12 candidates.

I was in the first group having 15 candidates. We proceeded to the conference room of the headquarters and waited for around 1.5 hrs and then we entered the room. First everyone was supposed to narrate their stories after they were permitted to once again see their stories for 10 seconds which was kept on their respective seats. Once the last person had his narration over, a discussion was supposed to be started and we had to come to a common conclusion. I did not take the initiative, though I spoke for 4 times, bringing back the opposition views of others to a common agreeable point and justifying the scene in the story. We did come to a conclusion which was narrated by chest no. 8 as chosen by the group. Everyone agreed and we were asked to leave. After that we went to the terrace, clicked photographs, talked about our performance while the second group was having discussion in the conference room. After they came, we all went to inside a theatre room with sofas to accommodate 30 people. We waited for just 15 minutes and the psychologist came. He started announcing the results by calling the chest numbers and we were supposed to call out our name and stand beside him. Chest no. 1, chest no. 2 and I was like….yeaa I made it and remaining chest no.s were called out. In all 15 of us were FSB recommended for 22 June 2015 0800 hrs batch. The remaining were asked to return and try again. After that we were sent to a room for furnishing our biometric data’s, including our photo, right and left hand thumb impression. Document verification was held once again for us and we were asked to keep ready our provisional degree certificates and last semesters marklist (for those who were are 2015 passouts ) before appearing for FSB. Waiting for my FSB dates!!(Dedicated to all the diehard defence aspirants and my groupmates)

Lecturette: Know About BRICS

Lecturette-Know-About-BRICS

BRICS is the group of nations having developing economies; the only difference is large or fast growing economies. Earlier the group was BRIC, which was subsequently changed to BRICS after joining of South Africa. All five members are member of G-20. The five countries constitute 40% of the world’s population and accounts 20 % of the gross world product making it a successful idea for developing these economies. P.M. Narendra Modi arrived at Ufa, Russia to attend the 7th BRICS summit. The members will have further discussion on the New Development Bank.

History of BRICS

First summit was held at Yekaterinburg in 2009 hosted by Russia, when the group was BRIC (before induction of South Africa). The summit aimed at improving financial institutions and ways to improve the cooperation between members. The issue of need of global reserve currency was raised at this summit. South Africa was inducted in the group in 2010 adding ‘S’ to the name.

Many countries like Indonesia, Turkey, Mexico have shown their interest in joining the group. Bangladesh, Nigeria, Syria, Iran and some others are who have also urged to join the group.

Aim of BRICS

BRICS was established with the aim of communal growth of all the members. The summits held were concluded with various aims. The financial stability of the members was always given the top priority. The impact of IMF over economic development led the members to find out solution of this problem.

New Development Bank

New development bank is the milestone in the history of BRICS. The bank was earlier called as BRICS development bank. The birth of this new bank was decided during the 5th summit. The finalization and signing the agreement was done on 6th summit, held in Fortaleza, Brazil. The bank was initially established with $ 50 billion which was subsequently increased to $ 100 billion. China holds the highest number of shares of this bank. The banks aims at lending maximum $36 billion annually for infrastructure development. This will make BRICS more strong and helpful for members.Lecturette-Know-About-BRICS

Contingency Reserve Arrangement

The last summit of BRICS was remarkable for 100 billion Contingency Reserve Arrangement supposed to overcome the dependency over IMF. It ensures the global financial safety net and complement existing international monetary and financial arrangements of the member nations.

The group will also give assistance money to the needy nations.

Recently K.V. Kamath of India was appointed as the president of new development.

Conclusion

This group has so far been successful in the race of approaching the aims and is also proved to be fruitful for all the members. The further motives of this group are heading to make this group meet its aim of enhancing the economies. Well, it is always a better option to walk with others then to run alone. The path that India chose will lead India to overcome its long coming economic problems. More similar groups like SAARC, ASEAN and others were also very helpful in strengthening the relations with other nations and parallel development of all the member nations.

Eco-sensitive Western Ghats Need Development

Eco-sensitive-Western-Ghats-Needs-Development

India has many special and distinct things that make it an elite nation. Flora and fauna play crucial role in this. But continuous human interference and escalating toxicity in nature has created a grief problem for our country.

Western Ghat

The Western Ghat covers the area of six states – Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamilnadu. The area is known for the biodiversity and nearly 37% (64,000 sq. km) of it is biological rich. It is one of the top seven ecological hotspots in the world. According to the sources, about 11- 75% of the species are endemic to the area making it a hub of variety species. A report released a statement that the Western Ghat neutralizes 10% or 4 million tons of the CO2 released every year. That’s why it is a medicine for the emerging problems of nature. Godavari and Krishna, the major west flowing rivers originate from Western Ghat.

Changes in Western Ghat

Last two decades have shown the reduction of 25% of the ecology of that area. This shrinkage has caused a lot of problems in the nearby areas. Last year, the Malin village landslide that claimed over 150 lives was supposed to be caused by deforestation and construction of a dam near the area.

Gadgil Committee

Gadgil commission is named after its chairman, Madhav Gadgil. He is a known ecologist and member of National Advisory Council. The committee submitted its report in 2011. The report has some of the key recommendations for securing Western Ghat. The commission recommended 64% or about 1, 20,000 sq. km area of Western Ghat to be declared as an eco-sensitive area. It also recommended checking the new Hydel projects polluting industries and establishment of a new township in the area. The mining projects should be banned and the ongoing project should be closed by 2016.

In response to the recommendations of Gadgil report, the six states refused to implement the recommendations. This led to the framing of a new committee to check the recommendations of Gadgil committee, headed by K. Kasturirangan, who was a member of the planning commission at that time.Eco-sensitive-Western-Ghats-Needs-Development

Kasturiranga panel (Recently in News)

Recently Kasturirangan panel recommended the shrinkage of ecological zone from 60,000 sq. km to 45-50,000 sq. km which is about 25-30% of the total. the final announcement will be made in August, this year. Earlier in 2013, the UPA government has accepted the recommendations of the kasturirangan panel of making 60,000 sq. km as an eco-sensitive area. Prohibition of mining, establishment of the new town and erecting some specific kind of polluting industries. Just a few months later, Veerapa Moily, the then environment minister, reduced the area to 55,000 sq. km now Prakash Javdekar is going to decrease the area. According to Prakash Javdekar, the new boundaries will be decided on the basis of the survey of 4,000 villages residing in Western Ghat. The survey data has been submitted by respective states and the announcement of the final decision will be done after analyzing the data.

The circumstances prevailing in the most productive area of the country has to be sort out patiently without harming nature’s property and maintaining the balance between nature and humans. The eco-sensitive area must be increased in order to secure more and more area for flora and fauna.

Indian air force women officers

What Indian Armed Forces Expect from Young Officers. As soon as you open your mailbox, you find a mail regarding upcoming SSB. You get energized and after reading the mail, you start planning your trip to SSB center. From preparing shorts, shoes to booking a ticket, you prepare yourself to rock the SSB center. You start preparing for each and every activity, start improving your GK, get up early in the morning and start running to increase your physical fitness. But, have you ever thought that what Indian Armed Forces want from Young Officers. You might have heard of OLQ’s (Officer Like Qualities) which is preferred to be the criteria for your qualities. But on these qualities they judge you during SSB. They need an Officer with following traits:

  1. Never Back Down Attitude: A man with Never Back Down trait is always welcomed by the Armed Forces. Whether it be a war or any rescue operation, Indian Armed Forces will never leave a stone untouched. There is not any barrier for the soldiers. And this is all because of Never Back down characteristic. If there is not any problem which can let you down, if you never lose your patience and try again and again till success, then you are made to be an Armed Forces Officer.
  2. BraveHearted with Leadership Quality: As the soldiers of Indian Armed Forces are always known for their bravery, a blend of bravery and leadership is what is required by the Indian Armed Forces. They look for Young Aspirants who are brave enough to accept any challenge and can lead their team to complete that challenge on or before time. A good leader is always followed, but a brave leader is always praised and followed.
  3. Love to Motherland: It is always said that “Safety, honor and welfare of a country come first always and every time.” A soldier is made to protect his country in any of the adverse conditions. Whether it may be a battle to protect the country or an undercover task to wipe out the infiltration from the country, a soldier is always ready to face the difficulties.If you are the one who can’t listen to a single negative point against your motherland, if you are ready to die for your country, then you are required by the Armed Forces.
  4. SmartWork instead of Hard Work: This text is highly popular amongst youngsters nowadays. A smart work is performing any work in a smarter and effective way so that less hard work is required and expected success is obtained. In Indian Armed Forces too, a person who works day and night is not required. Instead of that, a youngster who works in a strategic manner and succeeds in his task before time is the need of the hour. If you also acquire such working quality, then Indian Armed Forces needs you.

– Survey in rural areas has shown some eyebrow raising outcomes that shows the current status of India’s rural section. It shows that most of the rural population is engaged in unorganized jobs. Here are its facts and figures:

  • 49% of the rural population reported having signs of poverty.
  • 51% of rural families earn from manual labour.
  • Nearly 26% households have livelihood from cultivation.
  • Some 2.37 crore houses are either kuccha wall / roof or one room or less.
  • About 1/4th of the rural families have any literate adult of age 25 or above.
  • 1/3 rural families are landless.
  • About 21.5% rural families belong to SC/ST.
  • 2 out of every 10 house has a motorized vehicle.
  • 68% of rural families have mobile phones. A positive approach toward modernization.
  • 92% of rural families survive on less than 10k per month.
  • Only 4.58 % of household pat tax

The survey commented that the rural households of Haryana, Punjab, Tamilnadu, Kerala and Gujarat have shown good outcomes as compared to that of Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Bengal.

-Some sources accessed the stats of urban areas which are not disclosed by the government. The urban survey data is to be released later. The stats revealed some interesting data. The survey was recorded over 6.5 crore urban families and recorded the following stats.

  • 35 lakh urban families don’t have any income source.
  • Most interestingly about 90 lakh houses have women as the head of family.
  • 90% of urban families have electricity facility
  • Less than 10 % families don’t have source of drinking water in their home.
  • 40k households have a member as rag picker.

Stats speaks better then comments and assumptions. This survey has shown that how the Indian rural and urban areas are going in this era when India’s development is the top priority. Some counts gave some positive results, but some are yet to be improved. Survey of an urban area also showed some sections of disappointment. But implementation of schemes and plans and government’s full support to a common man can overcome the problems. Low access to digital services and income, infrastructure problem and several others are making the problem more intense. Engagement of 90% of rural in unsalaried works seems to be a major cause of decelerating rural development.

What are your views or suggestions to improve the rate of development of rural part of India?
