Indian Naval Academy

Indian Naval Academy To Augment Intake Of Cadets, Will Surpass The 1500 Mark. The Indian Naval Academy (INA), one of the top-notch training wings of Indian Navy situated in Ezhimala (Kannur district, Kerala), is pacing ahead to augment its intake of cadets. In an interview to OneIndia during the Passing out Parade held recently, Vice Admiral Ajit Kumar P, Commandant, INA, said that during the Phase-II expansion period, the intake of cadets will surpass the 1500-mark.

Indian Naval Academy“We are right on track and are evolving as the most-sought-after wings of Indian armed forces. The INA cadets have over the years exhibited their intellectual brilliance in all spheres of life and work. We have entered into MoUs with India’s top educational institutions, including the IITs and IIMs. The aims of these MoUs are now getting fructified,” says Vice Admiral Ajit. The INA has started conducting external academic audits every year as part of pushing the quality bar high.
“We have set our aim to become one of the best in the country. Once the Phase-II expansion plan is completed (2017), our cadet strength would in excess of 1500. And, when the Phase-III plans take shape, we will have around 2500 cadets, including those from friendly nations,” he said. He said INA would take the help of IITs while setting up future labs. “There’s lots of emphasis on gen-next technologies already in the curriculum. We have ensured that our cadets get maximum exposure to the best learning, training and teaching facilities in the country,” says Vice Admiral Ajit, who has been playing an inspiring role in shaping INA’s future. As reported by OneIndia earlier, in the Phase-III expansion plan of INA, the Ettikulam bay jetty is expected to get a face-lift with training ships of Indian Navy set to get anchored for the benefit of cadets.
“Yes. That’s definitely in the future vision plan of the Academy,” adds the Commandant.

Father – A Lifetime Inspiration

my father my hero

“Father is the first instructor of a child and is more than a hundred schoolmasters.”  These days’ newspapers have a new topic in trend. Every day various events and news are seen in media. But another occasion clashes with it. It Father’s day on the 21st of June. Well this day must be dedicated to your Father who made you whatever you are. The day is dedicated to the fatherhood and the special position that every father holds for his children.

All Army brats, who have a strong will to join Army, must ask themselves, ‘who is the first person, who motivated you to join Armed Forces?’  Don’t bluff yourself. Whenever asked in the SSB, that why do you want to join armed force? Most of the aspirants replies ‘I am highly motivated by the uniform, flaunting salutes etc.’ Well, this may be correct to some extent. Rather boldly shout that your Father is the first person who motivated you toward Armed Forces. He made you an officer like stuff and led you to stand in front of them. You have spent about 20-25 years of your initial life with him and seen the qualities he possess as a soldier and directed you to do something for your nation.

It never matters whether your Father belongs to defense background or not. Think deep into your soul and try to unearth the facts that who made you to take right decisions, who made you to have the guts to stand before the officers while attending the SSB or anywhere you go. The only person who stands by you whatever the situation might be and even has the strength to take you out of it, is your Father. Every person have gone through a situation where it’s only your Father, whom you look around for, in the hope of taking you out of it.Adulthood is the stage when a boy is almost changed into man and he is mature enough to take care of himself. One must not forget that there is somebody for whom you are still a child. He always has a solution for your problems. But some time it is us, who never ponder over it and ignore the affection into the spark of friends and enjoyments.my father my hero

Adulthood is the stage when a boy is almost changed into man and he is mature enough to take care of himself. One must not forget that there is somebody for whom you are still a child. He always has a solution for your problems. But some time it is us, who never ponder over it and ignore the affection into the spark of friends and enjoyments.

For a Father, Father’s day is nothing but just a regular day. It is our responsibility to make him realize that he is the most special person in the world for someone and he deserve a hug for that. Thank him for making you whatever you are and what better you possibly would be in future. Do not delay in expressing your feeling in hunt for a perfect time because a perfect moment never comes. It is you who can make the moment perfect. So make this day special to the man who want to see you in the uniform with brass stars glittering on your shoulder. Make him realize that you have not forgotten him and his deeds that nobody in the world have done and can never do for you.

Wishing you all a Happy Father’s Day!

The Ethos of Indian Army

The Ethos of Indian Army. The infusion of high technology based precision weaponry has enhanced the lethality of future warfare manifold. The spectrum of threat ranges from the nuclear to the conventional and the asymmetric, with terrorism emerging like a hydra-headed monster. Add to this the rigours of climate i.e. the glacial heights and extreme cold, dense mountainous jungles and the heat and simoom of the deserts. Such are the trying environs in which a soldier operates. However, to a soldier facing such challenges and going beyond the call of duty is but second nature. Life’s turbulences and turmoils have a special flavour for him.

For those not exposed to a war or war like environment, this flavour is beyond the realms of imagination. The Indian Army soldier is infused by a set of values that make the soldier willingly face a plethora of challenges and difficulties, and when the call may come, to give the ultimate sacrifice in the service of the Nation. The ethos of the Army is ingrained in all soldiers with an unwavering will to succeed, accepting their grave responsibility and an unbridled ability to give their lives for others; confident that in return the nation will look after them and their families. The values of the army infused in the soldier through the years of training are enumerated belowNational Defence Academy Discipline

  • Espirit-de-Corps The spirit of comradeship and brotherhood of the brave, regardless of caste, creed or religion. The motto is, “One for all and all for one”!
  • Spirit of Selfless Sacrifice The tradition is never to question, but to do or die for the three “Ns”; Naam, i.e. name-honour- of the unit/Army/Nation, ‘Namak'(salt) i.e. loyalty to the Nation, and ‘Nishan’, i.e. the insignia or flag of his unit/regiment/Army/Nation which the soldiers hold afloat willingly.
  • Valour Fearlessness in combat and in the face of the enemy even when fighting against great odds or even when facing sure death.
  • Non-discrimination The Indian Army does not discriminate on account of caste, creed or religion. A soldier is a soldier first and anything else later. He prays under a common roof. It is this unique character, which makes him bind in a team despite such diversity.
  • Fairness and Honesty The spirit of honesty and fair play. He fights for a just cause that extends even to the enemy (prisoner or wounded).
  • Discipline and Integrity Discipline and integrity impart the feeling of patriotism, honesty and courage under all circumstances however, strong be the provocation otherwise.
  • Fidelity, Honour and Courage He is a man on whose shoulders lies the honour and integrity of his nation. He knows that he is the last line of defence and he cannot fail the Nation.
  • Death to Dishonour A close bond amongst soldiers forces them to choose death to dishonour. The concept of ‘IZZAT’ (HONOUR) in the clan / unit enables them to shun the fear of death; to be called a coward in the peer group is worse than death.
  • Forthrightness A soldier has to be forthright, for on his word the men he leads are going to lay down their lives without questioning why.
  • These values stoke the attitude of Service before Self in every soldier. The famous credo of Chetwode Hall is deeply imbibed in the men in Olive Green. It is the spirit of this credo, imbibed in every officer that binds him with his men in an unshakeable bond of camaraderie.
  • The safety, honour and welfare of your country comes first always and every time.
  • The honour, welfare and comfort of the men you command comes next.
  • Your own ease, comfort and safety comes last always and every time.

Lt. Abhay Kadam

Auto driver Dilip Kadam from Tapasya Chawl, Sawarkar Nagar in Thane, was probably the proudest father as his son became a lieutenant in the Indian Army. Abhay Kadam (22) is back home to Thane with the rank and uniform of a lieutenant after a rigorous training of a year and a half at the Indian Military Academy (IMA), Deharadun. Abhay, who did his schooling from Indira Gandhi School, Thane, is a BSc IT graduate from Thane’s B N Bandodkar college, where he joined NCC. Wanting to serve the nation, Abhay attempted the NDA (National Defence Academy) exam twice but didn’t make it. He then joined an academy in Pune which trains aspiring students to crack these tough defence entrance exams.

Lt. Abhay Kadam

“I prepared hard for the Combined Defence Service (CDS) exams conducted by the UPSC. It is not easy to crack these exams,” Abhay said.

“After clearing the written exam, I was called for an interview for which 1.5 lakh students from all over India attempted. I cleared the five-day long Services Selection Board (SSB) interview process among 10,000 students and was ranked 193,” he added. He then joined Dehradun and was given the rank of a lieutenant in the Indian Army in a Passing Out Parade (POP) at the IMA.

“We are proud that our son is now in the Indian Army and will serve for our nation. We were happy when he chose this field,” said Dilip Kadam, the proud father.

“It feels proud to be a part of one of the strongest forces of the world, and to serve the nation. I wish more youths should get into the defence force.
Various campaigns, activities should be carried out by schools, colleges or the media to help youths know about our defence forces,” said Abhay.

In Conversation With Abhinav Vatsa, Recommended In 7th Attempt

Hard work and dedication pay off, here is an example which supports this statement. Abhinav Vatsa, a software professional, made it through in his seventh attempt, for the TGC entry of Indian Army. Having been rejected six times from the service selection boards, he never let failure get the better of him, and that perhaps is the reason he cleared his medicals after getting a temporary rejection and got through the merit list as well. SSBCrack got a chance to have a conversation with him, which will be inspirational and helpful for all the aspirants. We wish Abhinav a great life ahead in training and in service.

  • Congrats Abhinav, for making it to the Army, how does it feel knowing that you have it in you?
  • Thanks a lot Tashi. It feels so satisfying that I have finally got to know what it takes to be an army officer. All the hard work and focused preparation has finally paid off. This is my biggest achievement in my life so far. God willing, more to follow soon.
  • What was your motivation behind joining Army?
  • I belong from a family where no one has ever been into the defence services. My only motivation has been the impressive lifestyle of the army and above that the selfless dedication to serve our nation before self. These two aspects of our army has always inspired me to join this elite organization.
  • As we know, this wasn’t your first attempt, what special preparation you did this time, in order to clear it?
  • Very true, this was my seventh attempt in which I cleared the SSB. I took a different approach in which I prepared for the psychs, GTOs and the interviews independently every day. I also made a small group of other SSB aspirants here in Pune who were apparently working in the IT and aspired to join the armed forces. We all practiced together and that contributed a lot. I think every exam needs a good preparation. And for a robust preparation, you need a good feedback about your preparation regularly. This will improve your methods and help you to remove any loose ends during entire preparation process.TGC 121 Recommended Candidates
  • Weren’t you disappointed by the failure in your previous attempts? What did you do to overcome that?
  • Disappointments are the part and parcel of the failure. I clearly remember the day I went for my first SSB in September 2009 for NDA-I entry in Bhopal. I was screened out. I went to the station and took a corner in the platform while waiting for my train back to home. I cried a lot. I had never cried like that before. And, before leaving Bhopal that day, I made a resolution to get recommended and join the army from here itself. I guess, god had heard me then and hence I made my first recommendation cleared from here itself. In subsequent attempts (Not-Recommended in all next five attempts), I made a point to note down as many small observations that I had made in my attempt so that I do not make the same mistake again in future. I wrote down all the questions being asked, remembered my psych responses as much as I could. These inputs made me to prepare well for next SSB attempts. The only thing that I had kept constant was the NEVER GIVE UP attitude. That made me overcome my disappointments a lot. Moreover, I have got a very good group of friends who were always with me during this time and encouraged me to keep on trying until I don’t succeed.
  • You got a TR in your medical. What was it for, and what did you do to recover?
  • Yes, I got a TR for two conditions viz. Knock knees and overweight by 8 KGS. As soon as I came back to Pune, I consulted a very reputed civil ortho-surgeon and did a full check-up of the knock knee situation. He said I had very mild knock knees which is acceptable for rigorous physical tasks needed in the defence services and handed me a medical fitness certificate from his end! 😛 . However, I did my bit of research on the internet and noted down some physiotherapy exercises to reduce knock knee issue. I also kept a hard pillow between my knees and tied tightly with belts for more than a month till I went for the AMB. It was very irritating while sleeping but I was able to pull out some good hours nap later after a few more days. For overweight, I did regular cardio workout (daily 2 hours min.). I jogged, did crunches, push-ups, pull-ups, cross country trainer loops, cycling. I maintained a strict exercise pattern and did it at my office gym post office hours. One thing is to be noted that, a good diet plan (mostly fruits based except banana with lots of water) and ability to lose as much sweat as possible is needed to burn fats at a rapid rate. I was 78 KGS when weighed during my medical checkup and MH Bhopal around 27th April 2015. On 3rd June 2015, I was weighed 69 KGS at CH (SC) Pune and declared medically fit. For knock-knees, I had been also declared medically fit.AV_HYD_TCS
  • Were you nervous at any time, because of your TR, or because of the merit list that you’ll not make it? What steps did you take to get out of that feeling?
  • I became quite nervous after my medical conference. But, I told myself this: “If I have made it so far, I will definitely make it till the end no matter whatever it demands”. Self-motivation and faith in your actions plays a very important role in our lives which helps us to achieve things that we could have else never thought of. As soon as was able to see my weight getting reduced and my knock-knee getting better a bit, I was confident that I’ll clear the medicals. It is just the matter of time. All I did was followed my routine and felt confident about getting in. With All India merit rank 4 (Computer Science), I was very happy to know that I performed very well in my SSB back in Bhopal. It has filled me with enough josh and confidence that I can take up any challenge in my life later without ever doubting on my capabilities.
  • You are working in the Software Industry currently, how different will Army life be, will you face difficulty in coping up?
  • Yes, IT industry job is quite different from the army life. The only thing common between these two is the spirit of teamwork. I’ve been working close to two years in IT industry. Life has been very comfortable: AC offices, good food, corporate feeling and chance to work with people located on different global pinpoints. However, army life will be a different taste which I’m sure will be equally exciting and challenging. It will definitely be difficult for me and my family as well. But, this too shall pass. Life has different flavors for me in my plate, I’m glad to be a part of this kind of life, where every flavor is a challenge and every challenge is conquerable.
  • Was it difficult to prepare for SSB, while working?
  • It was quite difficult. Luckily, the project in which I was working had normal shift timings which gave me good amount of time in mornings and nights. However, the challenge was to maintain my work-life balance. I had to perform well in my job as well as prepare harder for the SSBs. During my job, I attended a total of four SSBs including this one. Every time, I went for the next SSB, it became tougher to get holidays and time to prepare for the SSB due to increasing work and dependency on my role. Then I had to choose between my dream and my job else I could’ve never made up. I chose my dream first. I cancelled all my home trips which I had planned in past one and half years to save adequate vacation for full SSB tenure. I also averted a chance to travel to the states for job based assignment. I just thought of clearing the SSB and getting into the army and make all these sacrifices worth of them. At the end of the day, the quote by Shaheed Capt. Manoj Kr. Pandey always filled me with energy to continue with my pursuit: “Some goals are so worthy, it’s glorious even to fail”. I decided to follow it by my heart.
  • What success mantra would you like to give to the candidates?
  • Fellow defence aspirants, just make sure that you don’t fool around with yourself. Know your capabilities well and limitations too. Work harder on them.
    Optimism and Determination will keep you going
    Work smarter and remain focused. I know it is hard, it is supposed to be. But you got to be much harder to handle what’s coming next for you. So, buckle up and never ever give up! Trust me, if you can take it, you can make it.
  • Did you take any coaching for SSB preparation? What is your view on coaching?
  • Until this attempt, I always refrained from taking any SSB coaching in my past. A very good friend of mine suggested to try it for this time and see if I can improve my attempt. So, I took his advice to join a coaching academy here in Pune. I went on weekends since I had my office on working days. I spent the entire day there and I’m really thankful to my mentor there who helped me in bringing out the best in me. His words filled with confidence: “you should be able to get recommended this time, I’m confident” always echoed whenever I felt low or helpless during my SSB. This gave enough energy to boost me up and give my best.I believe taking a coaching is not a bad idea at all. However, losing originality in your ideas and actions and making the sample solutions as given during classes your own is not recommended. A coaching should be taken as a feedback system where you get genuine feedback on your responses and actions. Nothing more than that. If you have never taken a coaching and are in dilemma to take or not, I suggest you to take it but always remember to work separately on your preparations. Take it only as a feedback provider to your responses, as a source to suggest you better ideas which will help you to come up with your own solutions rather than just memorizing the ones given there.
  • Do you think repeaters have a hard time in SSB?
  • Partially yes. The more the number of attempts the more slimmer are the chances to perform well in future. This is my personal observation. However, I always tell my friends with higher attempts to take it as a positive point. You guys have more idea about the whole SSB process and this will definitely give an edge to your performance. Believe me, if you are able to perform just normal without any superficial attempts, that’s more than enough for the assessors to judge you and recommend you. Repeaters can always impress their assessors with their concise and to the point responses to all the situations in front of them. As per my experience, the assessors expect the repeaters to be more calm, composed and knowledgeable on the subject matter. They do not expect you to be a perfect aspirant. A perfect aspirant is just a myth. So, though the chances become slimmer, but yes repeaters can change the game of their own SSB if performed well and in right time.
  • Thank You for talking to SSBCrack. We wish you a successful career head.
  • The pleasure’s all mine. I wish you guys all the best to keep up this wonderful job going up. The entire SSBCrack team is doing a wonderful work and helping thousands of aspirants to shape their dreams. May you all achieve the pinnacles of success in your lives. Jai Hind!

Conversation Between A Soldier And A Software Engineer

Conversation Between A Soldier And A Software Engineer. Vivek Pradhan was not a happy man. Even the plush comfort of the air-conditioned compartment of the Shatabdhi express could not cool his frayed nerves. He was the Project Manager and still not entitled to air travel. It was not the prestige he sought; he had tried to reason with the admin person, it was the savings in time. As PM, he had so many things to do!!

He opened his case and took out the laptop, determined to put the time to some good use. “Are you from the software industry sir,“ the man beside him was staring appreciatively at the laptop. Vivek glanced briefly and mumbled in affirmation, handling the laptop now with exaggerated care and importance as if it were an expensive car.Conversation Between A Soldier And A Software Engineer

“You people have brought so much advancement to the country, Sir. Today everything is getting computerized. “

“Thanks,“ smiled Vivek, turning around to give the man a look. He always found it difficult to resist appreciation. The man was young and stockily built like a sportsman. He looked simple and strangely out of place in that little lap of luxury like a small town boy in a prep school. He probably was a railway sportsman making the most of his free traveling pass.

“You people always amaze me,“ the man continued, “You sit in an office and write something on a computer and it does so many big things outside.“

Vivek smiled deprecatingly. Naive ness demanded reasoning not anger. “It is not as simple as that my friend. It is not just a question of writing a few lines. There is a lot of process that goes behind it.“

For a moment, he was tempted to explain the entire Software Development Lifecycle but restrained himself to a single statement. “It is complex, very complex.“

“It has to be. No wonder you people are so highly paid,“ came the reply.

This was not turning out as Vivek had thought. A hint of belligerence crept into his so far affable, persuasive tone. “

Everyone just sees the money. No one sees the amount of hard work we have to put in. Indians have such a narrow concept of hard work. Just because we sit in an air-conditioned office, does not mean our brows do not sweat. You exercise the muscle; we exercise the mind and believe me that is no less taxing.“

He could see, he had the man where he wanted, and it was time to drive home the point.

“Let me give you an example. Take this train. The entire railway reservation system is computerized. You can book a train ticket between any two stations from any of the hundreds of computerized booking centers across the country.

Thousands of transactions accessing a single database, at a time concurrently; data integrity, locking, data security. Do you understand the complexity in designing and coding such a system?“

The man was awestruck; quite like a child at a planetarium. This was something big and beyond his imagination.

“You design and code such things.“

“I used to,“ Vivek paused for effect, “but now I am the Project Manager.“

“Oh!“ sighed the man, as if the storm had passed over,

“So your life is easy now.“

This was like the last straw for Vivek. He retorted, “Oh come on, does life ever get easy as you go up the ladder. Responsibility only brings more work.

Design and coding! That is the easier part. Now I do not do it, but I am responsible for it and believe me, that is far more stressful. My job is to get the work done in time and with the highest quality.

To tell you about the pressures, there is the customer at one end, always changing his requirements, the user at the other, wanting something else, and your boss, always expecting you to have finished it yesterday.“

Vivek paused in his diatribe, his belligerence fading with self-realization. What he had said, was not merely the outburst of a wronged man, it was the truth. And one need not get angry while defending the truth.

“My friend,“ he concluded triumphantly, “you don’t know what it is to be in the Line of Fire“

The man sat back in his chair, his eyes closed as if in realization. When he spoke after sometime, it was with a calm certainty that surprised Vivek.

“I know sir…. I know what it is to be in the Line of Fire…….“

He was staring blankly, as if no passenger, no train existed, just a vast expanse of time.

“There were 30 of us when we were ordered to capture Point 4875 in the cover of the night.

The enemy was firing from the top.

There was no knowing where the next bullet was going to come from and for whom.

In the morning when we finally hoisted the tricolour at the top only 4 of us were alive.“

“You are a…?“

“I am Subedar Sushant from the 13 J&K Rifles on duty at Peak 4875 in Kargil. They tell me I have completed my term and can opt for a soft assignment.

But, tell me sir, can one give up duty just because it makes life easier.

On the dawn of that capture, one of my colleagues lay injured in the snow, open to enemy fire while we were hiding behind a bunker.

It was my job to go and fetch that soldier to safety. But my captain sahib refused me permission and went ahead himself.

He said that the first pledge he had taken as a Gentleman Cadet was to put the safety and welfare of the nation foremost followed by the safety and welfare of the men he commanded… ….his own personal safety came last, always and every time.“

“He was killed as he shielded and brought that injured soldier into the bunker. Every morning thereafter, as we stood guard, I could see him taking all those bullets, which were actually meant for me. I know sir….I know, what it is to be in the Line of Fire.“

Vivek looked at him in disbelief not sure of how to respond. Abruptly, he switched off the laptop.

It seemed trivial, even insulting to edit a Word document in the presence of a man for whom valor and duty was a daily part of life; valour and sense of duty which he had so far attributed only to epical heroes.

The train slowed down as it pulled into the station, and Subedar Sushant picked up his bags to alight.

“It was nice meeting you sir.“

Vivek fumbled with the handshake.

This hand… had climbed mountains, pressed the trigger, and hoisted the tricolour. Suddenly, as if by impulse, he stood up at attention and his right hand went up in an impromptu salute.

It was the least he felt he could do for the country.

PS:- The incident he narrated during the capture of Peak 4875 is a true-life incident during the Kargil war. Capt. Batra sacrificed his life while trying to save one of the men he commanded, as victory was within sight. For this and various other acts of bravery, he was awarded the Param Vir Chakra, the nation’s highest military award.

How I Got Recommended in SSB, All You Need To Know

How I Got Recommended in SSB, All You Need To Know

How I Got Recommended in SSB, All You Need To Know. OK, so I’m writing one last article before I join the academy. People ask me, how I cracked SSB? Well, this was my planning, I would put all of it down here.

Screening
Are you one of those kids who used to get a thrashing for not learning your tables? If yes, go thank your parents now. They helped you in making your calculation faster. And if your calculation is fast, OIR test would be easy for you. The crux of the story, reasoning+calculation would help you pass the OIR test.
Coming to the PPDT part, I’ve seen people writing stories big enough for them to handle. I’ll quote an example, there’s a picture which shows that a horse cart has been hit by a truck and it has fallen down, and people have assembled around it, and a boy is passing nearby.How I Got Recommended in SSB, All You Need To Know
Now, the boy is you. What would you do? Help the injured, call the ambulance and police and give them first aid? But if you start writing that when ram grows up he builds a flyover bridge so that fewer accidents take place in future, buddy you are going out. If not the first day, you’ll go out the last day. But you’ll leave.
Write a story that makes sense, what you can do in the situation, because the main character is you. Keep it realistic.
Narration should be bold, don’t stutter or stammer. Be confident, that yes I’m the one who’ll get recommended. But don’t have this feeling that I’ll be the only one to get recommended. There’s a very thin line between confidence and overconfidence, remember that.
Coming to the GD part. When you have a b’day party at home, at the time of planning it, you allow your mom to speak, right? Or as soon as she opens her mouth you start shouting? If you do that, you would’ve got things.

See, a GD is a discussion. You have to allow everyone to speak, so speak once or twice, that would do. Give some good points, not stupid ones. Try to quieten the group. And quote the example before hand to people Of your group, make them understand.
Hope this would get you in. It got me, and it helps.

Psychology:
TAT: Write unique stories. Try writing a new one every time, it shows you can imagine. Also keep in mind what I said earlier, keep the stories in real time. Not over the top stories. And one more thing, don’t go on distributing medals to people unless it is somewhat shown in the picture. See, awards are won with very much difficulty. So don’t go pronounce a PVC for someone. You are the main character, remember that. Try including some OLQ in every story, like helpful nature etc.
WAT+SRT:  Write a spontaneous reply. Don’t makeup sentences before hand and go paste them there. Write anything, but avoid I, should, could, can, if etc. Why? It shows probability. In defence, there are only two options like the logic gates, either 0 or 1. No middle path. Practice at home, within the stipulated time limit. It helps a lot. I completed all my SRT’s and still the clock ticked on for 3-4 more minutes because I had practiced writing at home.
SD: Make up an effective SD. Keep it honest, try to show your OLQ’s there. Don’t try to bluff your SD, because if you get caught anywhere, without even you knowing, you’ll be packing your bags. Write only those things which you can do, don’t go over board here too.
GTO: By the day your GTO starts, you people get to know each other. Talk to each other. See, I was the only repeater in my batch. I asked everyone to sit down and pointed out 2-3 things. First, when someone is speaking, everyone else would be quite. Let him complete. Second, who so ever is speaking, he won’t make a speech there. 30 secs to 1 min, that’s it. Third, if you have spoken once, speak after 3 other people have spoken. They all agreed, and then we did a GD in the room only. It went flawlessly. Even if 2 people started speaking together, one of them would get quite himself. Same for GPE. It went great too. We basically took the ideas of everyone, and we did it in a very good way.
See, if you are the head of the family, and your family is planning something, and they keep on shouting, would you like it? No na? Same is the case with the GTO. He hates people who keep bickering, talk politely. It helps.
For PGT, we had planned that a person who has given his idea would move back and let others give their ideas. So you see, what GTO observed was that you have brains because you applied it. At the same time you aren’t dominant, you allow other people to come up. If you do these good, it’ll make a very good impression on the GTO, and fairing out average in other tasks would also do.
In CT try to do well. Make sure your subordinate’s do not speak unless you ask them to. Be cool, use your brain.
Interview: Download a copy of PIQ form, available at Google. Fill it up neatly. And then form questions, any question that he can ask. Keep yourself at his place, and then form questions.

E.g. I’m living in agra at present. So if he asks me to tell something about agra, I’ll tell that there are 3 things agra is famous for. Taj mahal, Fatehpur Sikri, and Agra fort. Then obviously he’ll ask me about these things, I’ll tell him what I want him to know. So that the next question he poses would be what I’ve thought of. See, either he takes your interview or you give your interview. The difference between them? When you give an interview, you are taking him the way you want him to. Him taking an interview, you are going the way he wants you to go. That would be a lilttle tough I guess.
Prepare questions, and then counter questions on them. I practiced a lot, wrote many questions, modified my answers so that the counter questions that were being formed wouldn’t be there.
At some point of time in your life, you have to get serious. Leave other things behind, so that what you aspire to be, you’ll become.
Practice hard people, and don’t forget the rapid fire questions. Take help from arihants book, at least I took help from there only.
I think I’ve given enough ‘gyaan’. 😛

Everything else is up to you people, it’s you who’s being tested, not me. I tried to put down everything here, and yeah, my planning did work. 5/8 recommendations were there from my group, and 1 each from other two. So you see, if your group follows the things my group did, you can be there. I’m using can because one can never say why he got selected or why he got rejected. Hope it would help you people.
Regards,
Dikshant. 🙂
