Before getting commissioned as officer every Cadet undergoes training in the required branch. The main training institute is the Air Force Academy, which is situated in Dundigal. Followed by the Initial Training in AFA, candidates may require undergoing specialized Branch training. In some cases like for NDA, the training is first done in for a period of three years in NDA, Khadakwasla and then they are required to take flying training at AFA. Sometimes the in-service officers are also required to undergo training for advanced work they also have to spend some time in the specific training institute to achieve this.

Here are the training Institutes of the IAF

  1. Air Force Technical College: On completion of 22 weeks of initial training conducted at Air Force Academy. Thereafter, the remaining 52 weeks of training of engineering Officers is conducted at Air Force Technical College   (AFTC), Bangalore. The training at AFTC is divided into two terms of 24 weeks each separated by a term break. The training includes work in electronic and propulsion labs, specialization involving visits to R & D establishments, aviation, electronic industries and front line field units to facilitate assimilation. A balance is maintained between theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience on simulated as well as actual equipment to augment the technical skills.

Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, PVC

Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, PVC
Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, Param Veer Chakra was an Indian Officer. He is the only member of the Indian Air Force to be honored with a Param Veer Chakra, India’s highest militant decoration. He was awarded with this honor as he solely defended the Srinagar Air Base against a Pakistani air raid during the 1971 war between India and Pakistan.

Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon was born in a small village in Ludhiana district of Punjab. His father served as Hon. Flight Lieutenant. Nirmal Jit Singh was commissioned into the Indian Air Force as a Flying Officer.
During the Indo-Pak war of 1971, he was flying the Folland Gnat fighter aircraft based at Srinagar. On 14 December 1971, when Flying Officer Sekhon was on readiness duty at the 18 Squadron, six Pakistani F-86 jets attacked the Srinagar Airfield. The Pakistani jets soon engaged ground targets. Although it was very difficult, Flying Officer Sekhon was able to take off in his Folland Gnat fighter aircraft to protect the airfield from the enemies. In the action that followed, Sekhon was able to have a direct hit on a Sabre and was able to set ablaze another one of the enemies’ aircraft, which headed towards Rajauri while trailing smoke. The remaining four enemy aircrafts pressed the attack.

After fighting for a long while at very low altitude, Sekhon’s aircraft was hit and Flying Officer Sekhon passed away. The other Pakistani aircrafts didn’t press the attack anymore and returned to Pakistan. The bravery, flying skill and determination displayed by Flying Officer Shekhon earned him India’s highest wartime medal for gallantry, the Param Veer Chakra. His skill was later praised in an article by Salim Baig Mirza, the pilot who shot him down.

Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon is remembered for his gallantry and statues of him have also been erected in many cities in Punjab. A marine tanker built in 1985 was named Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, PVC.

The citation for the Param Veer Chakra awarded to him reads:
Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon
18 Squadron 10877 F(P)
Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon was a pilot of a Folland Gnat detachment based at Srinagar for the air defence of the valley against Pakistani air attacks. In accordance with the international agreement dating back to 1948, no air defence aircraft were based at Srinagar, until the outbreak of hostilities with Pakistan. Flying Officer Sekhon was, therefore, unfamiliar with the terrain and was not acclimatized to the altitude of Srinagar, especially with the bitter cold and biting winds of the Kashmir winter. Nevertheless, from the outset of the war, he and his colleagues fought successive waves of intruding Pakistani aircraft with valour and determination, maintaining the high reputation of the Folland Gnat aircraft. On 14 December 1971, Srinagar Airfield was attacked by a wave of six enemy Sabre aircraft. Flying Officer Sekhon was on readiness duty at the time. However, he could not take off at once because of the clouds of dust raised by another aircraft which had just taken off. By the time the runway was fit for take-off, no fewer than six enemy aircraft were overhead, and strafing of the airfield was in progress. Nevertheless, in spite of the mortal danger of attempting to take off during an attack, and in spite of the odds against him. Flying Officer Sekhon took off and immediately engaged a pair of the attacking Sabres. In the fight that followed, at tree top height, he all but held his own, but was eventually overcome by sheer weight of numbers. His aircraft crashed and he was killed. In thus, sacrificing himself for the defence of Srinagar, Flying Officer Sekhon achieved his object, for the enemy aircraft fled from the scene of the battle without pressing home their attack against the town and the airfield. The sublime heroism, supreme gallantry, flying skill and determination, above and beyond the call of duty, displayed by Flying Officer Sekhon in the face of certain death, set new heights to Air Force traditions. 
Nowadays statue of Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon is standing at the district court of Ludhiana near the flag celebration place for many national programs. A fighter aircraft model is also standing with the statue.

Recommend by 24 SSB for Indian Army TES

Hello everyone, I’m Cephas Chetan from Hyderabad and I got recommended by 24 SSB Bangalore for the Indian Army TES-30. I’m a regular visitor of ssbcrack.com and I must say that some credit of my success goes to this amazing site which reaches out to all the SSB aspirants. I would like to share my experience in a step by step way, so that it can be of more help to the candidates aiming to clear the SSB. 


I was called to attend the SSB for the last batch of the TES 30 in Bangalore, by 24 SSB on 10th November. We completed all the formalities by evening, and there were a total of 118 aspirants who reported, out of which one was sent back as he had a percentage of 81.6 whereas the cut off was 82. We had our dinner and went to sleep waiting for the first day.

First Day – Screening 

Recommend by 24 SSB for Indian Army TESOn the first day, we had the screening test. The intelligence tests were quite easy, but the dice questions were
a bit tough. I followed just one book, Arihant SSB which helped a lot. Almost everyone was pretty happy with their own performance.
Next, we had the Picture Perception test. We were shown a picture of two girls/women and a doctor in between them. Everyone wrote the story to the best of their imagination. Next, we were called for the narration wherein each of us had one minute to explain our story in brief in front of the 4 assessors and 10 other candidates. As soon as we completed our narration, we were asked to have a group discussion and reach a common story. As expected, it turned out to be a huge mess, with each person trying to dominate the group. At the end, almost everyone got a chance to speak at least once and we were quite happy as a group. In the end, 38 out of 118 got screened in and from our group, 7 out of 10 got in, including me. We were allotted new rooms and I was allotted the chest number 18. At the end of the day, we were given a PIQ (Personal Information Questionnaire), in which you have to write details about yourself. Be careful; do not bluff about anything as the interviewer will ask you questions based on your PIQ.

My experience and Suggestions– Obey the instructions and follow them implicitly. Some people cook up stories associated with the NDA, or the Army background. It is good to have a story with a positive background but don’t overdo or stress on the defence background, because it might look too dramatic.
I wrote a plain story, that there were two MBBS students who had a doubt in their subject, got the doubt clarified by their doctor and passed the exams. Remember, the key to get screened is the narration. If you’re fluent enough and don’t fumble, you’re sure to get screened in, even if you add just one point in the group discussion. The role of the group is very important, hence be on good terms with everyone in the group.
Regarding the PIQ, just be honest in writing about yourself and your hobbies. If you bluff, they’ll find out somehow and you’ll be at a loss.

Second Day- Psychological Tests 

Time Management is The Key. On the second day, which is regarded as the most important day, we reported by 6:15 and our tests began by 6:45.
We were briefed about each test in advance, after which time was allotted for doubts.
The first test was the THEMATIC APPREHENSION TEST (TAT)- 11 pictures and 1 blank slide were shown, and we had to write a story on each of them. It’s quite an easy task, but be mindful of the time, as watches aren’t allowed and only 4 minutes are allotted per picture. The final slide was a blank one, as we had to write a story based completely on our imagination.
Experience and suggestions – As always, don’t start nor end the story on a negative note. In the final slide, after which you have to write a story of your own, keep it simple and not too cinematic. Start writing fast from the word ‘go’. Time management is the very important.
Next test was the WORD ASSOCIATION TEST (WAT) – 60 words were shown one by one and 15 seconds were allotted for each word. We had to form sentences using each word. Quite a stressful activity, because by the time one thinks about the sentence formation, the time allotted would get over.
Experience and Suggestions – I attempted 58 words, but quantity isn’t the key. It does give you a fair advantage, but quality of the sentence plays a vital role. Don’t frame sentences like ‘ We should not fight’ or ‘ We should not smoke’. Instead try to keep it simple and try to keep it innovative – For example, consider the word ‘love’ . Most of them write ‘ I love my country’ and stuff like that. Instead, you could write something like ‘ I loved Sachin’s farewell speech’.
Next, we had the SITUATION REACTION TEST (SRT) – 60 situations were given and legitimate responses were supposed to be given by us in 30 mins. Stressful activity again, and requires quick reflexes and quick decision making.
Experience and Suggestions – This is one test where quality and quantity are directly proportional. The more you answer, the more you talk about your quick reflexes. At the same time, keep the responses legitimate. I attempted 58-59 out of 60, but except for me everyone completed only 45-50. Anything between 45-55 legit responses could be considered excellent.
Self Description – The easiest (but the most dangerous task of the day).  We were asked to write the truth about what our parents, friends, teachers and we ourselves think about us. Around 15 minutes were allotted. We were asked to write our minus points too.
Experience and Suggestions- This is a dangerous test, because, based on this the interviewer will ask questions. I wrote my negative points too, saying that I am egoistic. Please be honest, because if you’re not, the interviewer will somehow find out.

Personal Interview

I was interviewed by Brig of the Dogra Regiment. The interview continued for almost an hour (or maybe evens more). It was quite friendly, with some personal questions. He asked me if I was egoistic, (that’s what I wrote in my self-description), and I said yes. At the end I was quite happy with my interview.

Experience and Suggestions- 
Be honest, there may be some personal questions, the interviewer may shout at you, but just be cool. Have a slight smile all the while.
Sit upright and look straight into the interviewer’s eyes and answer confidently.

Day 3 & 4- GTO Tasks

The most eventful days in SSB.
First we had two group discussions, as usual ending without a conclusion. The topics were –

  1. Corruption in India, causes and how to curb. 
  2. How to reform education system in India.

There were huge arguments but all of us got quite a few chances to express our views, so we were happy.
Next was the group planning exercise (GPE). We did quite well in it, reached a pretty legit conclusion. Our GTO seemed happy so we heaved a sigh of relief. Next we had the lecturettes, where each of us had to speak individually on a given topic. I spoke on the topic Dignity of Labour.
Physical Tasks- We then had the group tasks, namely Progressive Group Task (PGT), Half Group Task (HGT), Command Task and the Final Group Task. I didn’t perform well, but I made up for it by performing really well in the Group Race and my Individual Obstacles.
I completed 13 obstacles in my allotted time of three minutes. ( 10 obstacles + 10th + 1st + 4th) In the end, I was quite happy with my GTO tests’ performance.
Experience and Suggestions– Never go against your group in the GTO tasks. Practice running for the Individual Obstacles as they require a lot of stamina. Aim at completing  15 tasks, you’ll end up completing at least 10. Take the initiative in the Group Obstacle Race as it is observed keenly by the GTO.

Final Day – Conference

We had our closing speech and then, we were called one by one to attend the conference of the board members. There were around 10-12 officers in uniform. All my friends were asked just a couple of questions and were asked to leave in barely a minute. Surprisingly, I was interviewed for almost 10-15 minutes and various questions were asked regarding my family and current affairs. After lunch, the results were announced. I was pretty confident and got recommended. 4 guys were recommended by 24 SSB and at that moment it felt like we conquered the world. I thanked God and my group mates for their assistance in all the tasks.
We were then taken to the Command Hospital Air Force in the following week, where I was examined for 5-6 days, after which, I was declared fit.
SSB is all about confidence and standing firm under pressure. If you can withstand the pressure put on you by the assessors, you’re sure to clear it.
All The Best

Captain Vikram Batra
Captain Vikram Batra was an Officer in the Indian Army who was awarded the Param Veer Chakra, the highest award for valor for his actions during the 1999 Kargil War. He was selected to join Indian Military Academy, Dehradun in Jessore company of Manekshaw Battalion, and was commissioned in the Indian Army as a Lieutenant of the 13 Jammu & Kashmir Rifles at Sopore, in Jammu and Kashmir. He rose to the rank of Captain.

On June 1999, Captain Batra and his unit was sent to the Kargil sector as the war like situations emerged in that sector.  He was sent there with a mission to recapture the first peak of high importance Point 5140. Vikram Batra decided to lead his unit, 13 JAK Rifle from the rear as an element of surprise for the enemy. He and his unit ascended the rocky cliff but as they reached near the enemies, the enemy started firing on them on bare cliff which had no cover from firing. Regardless of constant firing, Captain Batra along with five other men of his unit was able to reach on the top of the cliff. As they reached the top, they hurled two grenades to the enemy machine gun post. Captain Batra, single-handedly, fought and defeated three enemy soldiers in close combat. He was seriously injured during this fight. Nevertheless, he regrouped his men and continued on his mission. Inspired by his courage and bravery, 13 JAK Rifles charged on the enemies and captured Point 5140 at 3:30 am on June 20th 1999. 13 JAK Rifles killed eight Pakistani soldiers and recovered a heavy machine gun. The capture of Point 5140 set in motion a string of successes, such as Point 5100, Point 4700 and Junction Peak. Captain Batra also led his men to recapture of Point 4750 and Point 4875.
Captain Vikram Batra

He attained martyrdom when he tried to rescue an injured officer during an enemy counterattack against Point 4875 in the early morning hours of 7 July 1999. ‘JAI MATA DI’ was his last words.
On 15th August 1999, he was awarded Param Veer Chakra for his bravery and leadership during the Kargil War. His father received the honor for his deceased son.
In the movie LOC Kargil, Abhishek Bachhan played the role of Captain Vikram Batra. Also, a Hall is made in his name at Service Selection Board Allahabad, called Vikram Batra Block.

Defence Jobs vs Corporate Jobs

Defence Jobs vs. Corporate Jobs

Many times we are asked by aspirants on our Facebook page and on our website what are the pay scales of the Defence jobs, or which among the defence and corporate jobs is better. So here is an answer regarding all that. No job is better or worse, it only depends on what you like. As it is said that any job can only be enjoyed when you love the work you are doing. That is why perhaps there are diversified career options in this world.

spot_img

Defence Jobs vs. Corporate Jobs

To begin with, I would like to say that if you are in search of money and only money then definitely corporate is the place for you. Corporate is a place where you can rise to a respectable position in a very short span if you are capable. In defence everything is based on a well-defined structure. You can get a promotion only after a set time.

Indian+Defence+vs+Corporate+life

There is confusion that defence doesn’t pay you well. Well, a certain misbelief I guess because payments are of two types, cash, and kind. Defense pays you in both cash and kind. In cash it gives you a starting salary of around 60,000 to begin with, which increases with time and it gives you incomparable facilities. Being in defence offers you benefits like medical facilities, insurance and canteen facilities for you and your family as well, schooling facility for your children etc. Defence offers you a way of life which you can’t get in any job. Exposing you to a number of adventure sports, giving you a chance to live in different parts of India. You can travel to foreign countries as well. You are entitled to free Rationing and fully furnished houses when you get commissioned. Defence training are the most difficult part. You are grilled mentally and physically to a level that if you are mentally fit for the job then only you’ll be able to sustain. There is nothing bad in training; it only makes you physically fit and mentally strong.

The academies that train defence personnel are the best academies in the world. Your physical fitness is raised to a great level. Your personality is enhanced from every side, you can easily distinguish between a defence personnel and a civilian. While corporate jobs give you chances to be a part of big MNCs and travel to a number of foreign places, defence jobs offer you a chance to be a part of the most elite institutions of India, and work for your motherland. You get a uniform; you get a chance to work for India directly. There is huge exposure in defence jobs, you can associate with people in the clubs and participate in different types of events which are organized time to time. In fact Defence jobs are not jobs, it is entirely a way of life or rather it is not a career, it is a way of life. Love for the country and adventure are the driving forces behind defence jobs. I might have sounded little bit partial towards defence in this article, but I can’t help it, since anybody who wants to be part of defence forces has a love for it in a very special way. There is nothing wrong in corporate jobs, every job is respectable it’s only your choices that makes you like or dislike a job. A Fauji at heart can never give up the love for Fauj and would always rank it above all, kya karein pyaar bada hota hai fauj se! Jai Hind!

Tips for dealing with Negative word:

  1. Don’t always try to write a positive thing, some things can be written in a negative way but still be good. As for Unemployment, You can write ‘It is the biggest problem of India.
  2. You can change the form of the word like you can make poor as poverty so use this to your advantage.
  3. Write short and snappy responses, do not write big sentences.
  4. If you are not able to think of anything then simply write your reaction with the positive of that negative word.
  5. It is not always necessary to write a full sentence, you can sometimes just write your reaction.
  6. Do not spend much time thinking.
  7. Try not to think about the previous word while moving on to the next.
  8. You can write how you can remove that particular negative thing with some positive thing, like ‘Nervousness can be overcome by preparations’
  9. Be very calm and positive throughout the whole procedure.
  10. Think randomly of negative words and try thinking of responses as soon as possible.
  11. Do not mug up sentences in advance.

It is not possible to collect all negative words here so feel free to comment any negative word in the comment box below. You can also write sample answers and negative words you have faced in your SSB.

Check what all documents you require, get the photocopies attested, keep one extra copy of each (Prevention is better than cure). Get your passport size photographs ready in the required number.

  11. Reservation: I am sure most of you must have done but still if you have not then do it as soon as possible. Also if your status is waiting you may have to think about Tatkal Option. So plan accordingly.

There is lots of confusion amongst the candidates as to whether they should or shouldn’t join SSB Coaching before their SSB interview. Since everything come with a positive and a negative impact as well hence it is better to know research and then take a decision. This article will cover some of the pros and some cons of joining a SSB coaching, which I believe will help you to decide on your own conscience that what is right for you.

Pros of SSB Coaching

A person who knows how to use logic and presence of mind, nothing can go against him/her. Same applies to SSB Coaching’s, they can help you in great deal if you have the right attitude to apply the things told there. Some positives in terms of SSB Coaching are:
  1. They are a boon for freshers, they help them a lot. SSB Coaching will make you aware of the whole procedure followed there and hence when you go to SSB, everything will not fall as something new.
  2. Coaching help in enhancing OLQ’s, they can only make you learn where to project them; however the developing part will have to be done by you only. So they help in making you understand where and how to project your OLQ’s but they can’t develop all of the OLQ’s in you.
  3. While in a coaching you get a group, with whom you can discuss and practice a lot of thing. No doubt group studies can do wonders, especially in case of SSB.
  4. You get the required exposure, you get live audience who listen to your lecturette, with whom you can practice GD and do PGT,HGT etc.
  5. SSB Coaching’s help a lot in erasing the shy part of you and making you confident, you can also improve your English, GK etc. when you joining a coaching.
  6. Although psychology is not something which can be improved or changed easily, still you get a great guidance as to what is the right thing that can be written in the psych test series.

Cons of SSB Coaching

Anything which has a positive thing can even have a negative thing. Here you have to be really careful about what academy you are choosing. Here are some disadvantages of SSB Coaching, also how you can avoid or minimize the negative impact of SSB coaching.
  1. SSB Coaching’s can limit your thinking, especially to some candidates who are totally dependent on them. Like for example if you are sticking to the solutions for Psych tests and PGT etc. you’ll not be able to devise a plan yourself in case of PGT, MPE or you’ll not be able to think about any other answer. It is better if you take the solutions just as an example and apply your logic in the tests.
  2. Sometimes your thought process can get manipulated by joining a coaching. This is again the case when you are getting totally dependent on the Coaching and not applying you own brain. Don’t stick to their solution; write what you feel is correct but keep the instructions in mind.
  3. Some candidates tend to give idealistic responses; they learn a few things out of the taught material and give only those things as an answer. They don’t want idealistic people; they want practical, quick thinkers.
  4. You can be misguided by some false coaching’s, hence be very careful as to which coaching you are joining.
Conclusion: According to me I still believe that SSB coaching’s greatly helpful to those who don’t have a slight idea about SSB. If you are sure that nobody is there who can guide you in terms of SSB, then don’t hesitate in joining a good academy. But remember you have to always do the hard work by yourself and you have to apply your own logic and you can do wonders.
Feel free to comment what according t you are the pros and cons of joining a coaching for SSB Interview.

The regiment of artillery is an operational and the second largest arm of the Indian army. With its guns, mortars, rocket launchers, unmanned aerial vehicles, surveillance systems, missiles and artillery firepower it constitutes almost one-sixth of its total strength.Indian+Army+Artillery+Guns+
Artillery refers to the large caliber guns used in modern warfare on land. The types of equipment of the Indian artillery regiment:
  1. Howitzer: It is characterized by a relatively short barrel length. Small propellant charges are used to propel projectiles at high trajectories, thus giving them a steep angle of descent. Some howitzer types of equipment used in the Indian army regiment are: M777, Haubits FH77/B, M46, Metamorphosis 155vmm gun, M101 howitzer. Howitzer comes from the word ‘HOUFE’ meaning heap or mass. Thus, the howitzer type is used against mass enemies.
  2. Field Guns: They are smaller guns which could be easily moved and can accompany the field army on the march. Its position can also be changed on the battlefield with the changing circumstances. Some equipment of these types presently in service are: M-46, 100mm M1944, 100mm field gun M-1944(BS3).
  3. Mountain Guns: They are designed to be used in mountain warfare where wheeled transport is not possible. They have the ability to be broken down into smaller pieces and therefore are easy to transport. Due to their ability to be broken down into smaller pieces, they are often called pack guns or pack howitzers. The only mountain gun in the Indian army is 76mm Mountain gun M48. Earlier OTO Melara Mod was also used which is now retired. Mountain Guns are highly outdated and are replaced by multiple rocket launchers and guided missiles. The modern artillery is made of light weight material solving the problem of transportation as they can be easily transported via helicopter.
  4. Multiple Rocket Launchers:  It is a type of unguided rocket launching system. Some MRL presently in the Indian Army Artillery Regiment are: Smerch 9K58 MBRL, Pinaka MBRL, and BM21. Although the MRLs are much less accurate and have low rate of fire, but they have the ability of dropping many hundreds of kilograms of explosive over an enemy with devastating effect.
  5. Self-Propelled Artillery: It is any type of artillery which has its own propelling system to move toward the enemy. They are high mobility vehicle usually on caterpillar track. They are usually for long range indirect bombardment support on battlefield. Some self-propelled artillery in the Indian Army are: M-46 Catapult, FV433 Abbot SPG, 2S1 Gvozdiak. Some of them also carry rockets and missiles which have long range and high impact.
