How To Solve Situation Reaction Test In Short Time

Situation Reaction Test

Situation Reaction Test, which is a part of the psychological testing, is meant to test candidates’ natural reactions when they are put under some day-today situations. These situations are frequently related to routine life, although some situations may be peculiar or strange. The objective behind putting up the candidates in such situations is to test how quick and practical they are in responding to simple and adverse situations. An Armed Forces officer is expected to be quick, sensible and a pragmatist when it comes to taking decisions, because a lot of people depend on him and he is responsible for them. Candidates’ often complain that the time given to them in the psychological testing is very short, especially in the Situation Reaction Test where they have to solve 60 situations in duration of 30 minutes. A few of aspirants wanted to get a guide on how they can solve Situation Reaction Test in a short time. Here I have tried to provide them with a few tips, on the same:

  • The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war: Yes future soldier, this saying is true, not only for the training, but for getting selected for the training too. What I mean to say is that the more you practice before, the easier it’ll be for you to write fast in the Situation Reaction Test. Practicing before will help you to increase your writing speed, as well as think spontaneously. Thinking on the spur of the moment should come naturally to you, but if you have been through some kind of situation before (in your practice may be) it’ll help you.
  • Originality will save you: You may read up somebody’s reaction and think that they have written a commendable solution for it. What you don’t understand is that problems unlike solutions are not unique for each individual. So if you plan up your reactions, and try to think for an answer, you’ll end up wasting more time.Situation Reaction Test
  • Think on the spur of the moment: You need to be spontaneous, there is no other way. This is not something you can build up in a day. You need to change some major aspects of your personality in order to develop practical mind, try seeing everything around you from a realistic perspective, you need to come out of the nutshell and think out of the box.
  • Get into the situation: You need to get into the situation in order to think as per the situation wants you to. That is not possible if you are reading the situations just as a sentence, put yourself in the situation, and think what you will do, if you are in the situation, and then you’ll come up with fast and prompt responses.
  • Use correct English: Using English properly helps majorly in Situation Reaction Test. Instead of writing proper sentences, write using hyphens, commas, and semicolons. You’ll find this handy because in this way your grammar won’t go wrong and you’ll be able to finish off the things fast.
  • Quality matters over quantity: They want your proper actions and not just a one word reaction. So you need to answer in fitting way, instead of just writing half reactions. It is always good to do quality work than rush after increasing quantity of it. We advise the candidates to not leave reactions in between blank and skip to next reactions, however if you get stuck on one reaction then leave it and move on. Don’t rush after finishing too many of them, instead finish whatever you can in proper manner.

Difference Between SSB AFSB and NSB

Difference Between SSB AFSB and NSB. Many candidates get confused between what is the difference between AFSB and SSB. For starters, you can consider that SSB and NSB are one and the same thing because they follow more or less the same procedure of selection. Though AFSB also follows the same procedure of selection, yet there is a little difference between how these procedures are carried out. One thing which is assured is that you need to possess the same kind of qualities in order to get selected in either of them. Let us see how these are different:

  1. The names: SSB stands for Service Selection Boards, these boards are meant for selecting candidates for Army and sometimes navy too. There are selection centers which have more than one board, all the Army boards fall under some or the other selection center, and two navy boards too are under the selection center. NSB is the name given to the standalone board of Navy. NSB stands for Naval Selection Board. AFSB is the abbreviation for Air Force Selection Board. There are in total five Air Fore Selection Boards, they are standalone selection boards for Air Force.
  2. Types of entries: In this section I’ll be telling you SSB for which entry is likely to be conducted in which board. In NSB generally the SSB for 10+2 B.Tech Cadet Entry is held, however, some naval direct entry SSB’s might also be conducted. In SSB’s entries for CDSE (for whom first preference is Army/Navy), 10+2 Technical Entry, NDA Entry (for whom first preference is Army/Navy), all Army specific entries and naval direct entries (in Navy board of SSB Selection Center), is held. In AFSB primarily SSB’s for AFCAT Entry, NCC entry for Air Force, NDA and CDSE (for those who give first preference as IAF) is conducted.SSB Bhopal
  3. Number of days spent at SSB: Generally for all boards the time is six days.
  4. Testing days: In SSB and NSB the reporting time is sometimes in morning or sometimes in evening, generally the first day, the day on which the candidate arrives is counted as day 0, and the procedure of testing begins the next day. In AFSB generally the reporting time is morning, and if it is morning the procedure of testing begins on the same day. However, if the reporting time is afternoon, the procedure might begin from the next day onwards.
  5. Based on the tests: The test and their procedure is totally the same in all the boards, be it SSB, NSB or AFSB. However, the time when the test is conducted might differ. For instance in AFSB the interviews start the next day after the psychological testing (in most cases) and in SSB, the interviews may start the same day itself. Similarly in AFSB you generally get a day off, when there is no test planned for the group. In AFSB you get a detailed information about the upcoming schedule, put up on the notice board, in SSB’s you are generally informed by the CHM.
  6. Batches: In AFSB and NSB there is always one batch at a time who are under testing, however in SSB’s multiples batches may be present at the same times, in the selection center premises. So this means that in AFSB there will be for example one AFCAT batch under testing and when the six days get over for them, the next batch arrives. In SSB selection centers there may be a batch of NDA, Women Entry as well as CDSE, all assigned to different board, but present together, due to multiple number of SSB boards in the selection center.
  7. PABT: If there are batches in SSB in whom they need to take PABT for any candidate (Example: Pilot/Observer entry of Navy) then after they are recommended they are sent to the nearest AFSB, as PABT is exclusive to AFSBs’). For AFSB candidates, the PABT might be conducted either on the second day (AFCAT Entry) or after recommendation, sixth day (NDA/CDSE Entry).
  8. Other tasks: There is not much difference between other tasks, except for the Individual Obstacle Course. In AFSBs’ we have different obstacle and in SSB and NSB we have different. You can read about this more on: https://ssbcrack.com/2013/09/individual-obstacles-in-army-airforce-ssb.html.

During the attack when enemy automatic fire from one of the sangars posed stiff opposition and stalled the column, Rifleman Sanjay Kumar realising the gravity of the situation and with utter disregard to his personal safety, charged at the enemy.

In the ensuing hand-to-hand combat, he killed three of the intruders and was himself seriously injured. Despite his injuries, he charged on to the second sangar. Taken totally by surprise, the enemy left behind one Universal Machine Gun and started running.Story Of Rifleman Sanjay Kumar, Param Vir Chakra
Rifleman Sanjay Kumar picked up the UMG and killed the fleeing enemy. Although bleeding profusely, he refused to be evacuated. The brave action on his part motivated his comrades who taking no notice of the treacherous terrain charged on to the enemy and wrested the area Flat Top from them.

Which Needs Focus: Defense, Economy or Corruption?

Which Needs Focus Defense, Economy or Corruption

Which Needs Focus: Defense, Economy or Corruption? These days’ media is filled with lots off suggestions on the matter that out of Army and Defense, Economy and Eradicating Corruption, which sector must be given first priority. Well, all fields must be served together for proper development. But which field need more focus.

Army and Defense:

Secure Nation to Develop Better – Army has the most important role in the country’s status. Well, it is better to stay protected before going ahead. US, China and other countries have bold military powers. So we need to focus on securing nation first than any other thing.

Neighbors Strengthening Power – India’s close neighbors Pakistan and China, which are the top competitors for India are rapidly elaborating their arms and weapons. Emphasizing on defense production is needed as per the current scenario.

Fighting Terrorism – The terrorism has spread in the veins of our country . Now India need to be more cautious about the emerging terrorism and groups like ISIS, Tehrik –e-Taliban Pakistan and even the internal matters like Naxalism also need some attention to solve.

Old Weapons and Warheads to be Phased out – Many weapons, machines and warheads that India is operating currently are old enough to be released from their service. Some tanks like T-72 and aircraft carriers like MiG-21, MiG-27. Some projects are going on to renovate the arms and warheads, but need more to take India beyond the required level. Many replacements have been approved by Indian government and some are being developed like Arjun tanks, LAC Tejas, LCH, etc. But some more fund must be released to support their swift production.

 

Economy:

Lure More Investment for Country – Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India ‘ and Digital India are a step ahead to lure the investment. But more similar projects  needed to pace up the economic development. FDI was a good step and has raised the zest of foreign companies.

Eradicate Poverty Tag – Poverty has always been a problem for India. About 1/3 of the total number of extreme poor in the world are in India. Employment generation and sufficient government support is required to overcome this problem.

About to Overcome China as Fastest Developing Economy– India’s economy is developing at such a rate that it will overcome china in terms of fastest developing economy. It need a little more focus to make it successful.

 

Eradicating Corruption:

Black Money – India’s black money issue has been a long and old matter, that is still to be solved. Government has done well in recovering that money. Recently India’s black money heap has gone down by 10%. And government has given last chance to the account holder to reveal black money assets. Focusing on it will surely give a positive outcome.

Burden of Scams and Scandals – Several scams and scandals have been reported till date. Some of them are hard to believe. CWG scam, Coal scam, etc.; even Army also got infected with it. Chopper scam , Adarsh scam and many more. Proper overview by government will avoid this money dumping and lead to productive use for country’s development.

Misuse of Public Money– A lot of public money is being misused and drained by some odd factors. The money should be used to develop the nation, but is now being used for personal benefit.

Improve India’s Corruption Index – Stats shows that India’s ranking is 85th out of 175 countries in corruption index. This is good, but need more to go on the top. The top place is occupied by Denmark. Well, it’s hard to reach the top in short time but improvement can be expected.

Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam – Inspiration for All

Abdul Kalam

“Failure is never the end”. All the aspirants who are a regular visitor of ssbcrack.com are either an experienced person or are about to face SSB in coming months. Well, it is a great thing to get recommended in first attempt. But somehow an aspirant has to face the failure. But it’s not the full stop. The group of aspirants who are conference out or recommended have heard the ending speech by any officer of SSB Team. They always support their statement with some examples like Shahrukh khan, APJ Abdul Kalam and many more in the list. Well, it was a truth that APJ Abdul Kalam, Missile Man of India, who was involved in launch vehicle technology and development of ballistic missile, was keen to join Indian Air Force as a pilot and touch the glorious sky.

APJ Abdul Kalam is now a famous personality and is known for the struggle, he did to climb up from the very bottom to the top of the zenith. There is a lack of motivation in the current generation. I suggest them to go through the life. ” My Journey: Transforming Dreams into Actions”, he revealed the incident that he faced. He got 2 chances to join Indian Air Force, one at AFSB Dehradun, and another at Directorate of Technical Development and Production (DTDP), Delhi.  After attending the interview, he realized that AFSB seek a certain kind of smartness along with your knowledge and educational qualification. As described by Mr. APJ Abdul Kalam, he bagged 9th position out of 25 candidates and failed as only 8 vacancies were there. That was a moment when he also got broke for a moment. But he didn’t stop at all.Abdul Kalam

The second phase of his life begun at DRDO, where he worked under Virkam Sarabhai, one of the great minds in space technology. And he also contributed his talent in the construction of India’s first indigenous satellite launch vehicle. AGNI and PRITHVI, the much-known missiles of India has a major contribution from APJ Abdul Kalam. Further, the presidency added prestige to his personality. He won the presidential elections in 2002 and became the 11th president of India and the 3rd president to have been honored with Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian honors of India.

In actual words, he is the real motivation for all the aspirants preparing for SSB. He taught us the lesson to never give up and never compromise with our aim, even after facing few failures.

Serving nation not only means to have stars on your shoulder. If you have a seed of dedication, then you are a bit far from your Aim. So don’t give up and don’t feel that you are the only one to face the failures. No matter how big the obstacles are. Remember that an ant climbs the wall after tasting the failures several times.

“Dedicated people never need a path, they make their own ways to reach the destiny.”

Child Labor in India- Causes & Consequences

Child-Labor-in-India-Causes-And-Consequences

Child Labor is a global problem. India is one of the country which is highly affected from child labor. Children have to face the world and its bitter reality at a younger age, which not only affect them but also affect the country whose development is highly dependent on the young generation. Stats revealed that about 18% of 5-14 years old children are economically active Out of which 60% are in Asia. 

What are the Causes of Child Labor?

Increasing Population: India’s population has crossed the mark of one billion as per 2011 census and has been incrementing more till now. Parents having more than 2 children face many problems in their maintenance, education and providing basic facilities. This leads to the indulgence of children into laborious works.

Poverty: According to a report released by U.N. in Feb 2015, about 30 crore people still live in the extreme poor condition in India which accounts for 1/3rd of the total extreme poor people in the world. Poverty is the main reason behind child labor and is still a headache for Indian government. Ignorance from parents is also an out come from poverty and that leaves no choice for children.

Lack of Knowledge of Compulsory Education: Right to Education (RTE), enacted in 2009, and gives a provision of free and compulsory education to children of age between 6-14 years. But lack of awareness and knowledge of it, leads children to use this opportunity.Child-Labor-in-India-Causes-And-Consequences

What are the Negative Effects of Child Labor?

Effect on Health: According to WHO, 1/8th of the cases of child labor are of worst forms, which includes physical, mental or even moral well-being. The child labor is viral in various sectors. But agriculture sector has the maximum (70%) involvement of child labor. Handling dangerous tools and machines, using pesticides etc. can cause physical causality and as well as many sever disease to the children.

Harassment and Child Abuse: These days child abuse and harassment cases are also been seen with child labor. According to a study by Indian government released in 2007 about 20% of children in as labor have faced sexual abuse. Most of the cases of sexual cases occurs with the girls below 15.

Indulgence into Crime Field: Uneducated/ Unguided children who work in society sometimes get influenced by the criminal activities and commit crime at low age. Some cases of juvenile criminals have been reported in India and its increase is also observed in India. 

Steps to Overcome the Problem

Child Labor Laws: Indian government has done a great job in attempt to overcome the child labor. Factory Act, Mines Act, Child Labor (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, Right to free and Compulsory Education Act were framed to safeguard the children from laborious tasks and helping them to rise.

Awareness: Parents must be given awareness about child abuse and bad effects of child labor. This will bring change in the society and minimize the cases of child labor. Many NGOs are working in this field and need support from government to aware more people specifically the poor people living in villages or slum areas.

Social Alertness: Society must pay attention about the child labor going on in cities, factories or shops. They must report the cases to the police. It is a social antiquate to stop child labor running in your society and supporting those children toward education field.

Conclusion

Child Labor is a menace and an obstacle in India’s development. New generation is the base of development of a developing country and as India is going on a wrong path, it must be directed to the right one.

Meet Toppers of UPSC Civil Services 2015

Meet Toppers of UPSC Civil Services 2015. The results for the UPSC Civil Services exam were declared today, and the four out of the top five places were bagged by women. This goes on to prove that women are getting ahead in all the fields. Of course by this, I don’t mean to condescend men and say any derogatory stuff about men, instead I just mean to say that women, who were caught up in household chores, and were not getting opportunities earlier, are now catching pace. We are seeing women getting important places in Armed Forces, which was earlier supposed to be a male dominated career choice. Though there were women earlier who have been scoring well in Civil Services and bagging top ranks, but that doesn’t undermine what these four ladies have done. Without saying much let us have a quick read up on each of them.

  1. Ira Singhal: An IRS Officer currently and physically handicapped Ira, never let her disability stop her from achieving her goal. Despite being physically challenged she went on and bagged the first rank in the general category. An alumni of Army Public School, Dhaula Kuan, Ira cleared her UPSC exam in 2010 as well, and was allotted IRS, but her short height became an issue (4 feet 5 inches, due to scoliosis or curvature of the spine), for which the matter went to CAT, which gave the ruling in her favor, last year. The story of Ira is an inspiration to thousands, who think that circumstances can stop them from achieving what they want to. This is the first time that a physically handicapped person has topped the exam.Ira
  2. Renu Raj: Renu Raj, a doctor from Kerala, the state well known for its scenic beauty and literacy rate, bagged second rank in the exam. Renu works in a hospital in Kollam in Kerala and hails from Kottayam. She believes that perseverance really pays off. So if you want success, you should never give up.Renu
  3. Nidhi Gupta: Third rank holder, Nidhi Gupta, a Delhi girl is currently under undergoing training in Faridabad. She is Assistant Commissioner of Customs in Central Excise. She also believes that hard work pays off.nidhi
  4. Vandana Rao: Vandana is the topper in other backward class and also secured fourth rank in the general category. She too gives the credit for her to success and hard work. She is wants to do something worthwhile for the country by becoming an IAS officer.

Suharsha, a chemical engineer from Bihar, and an alumni of IIT Bombay, secured fifth rank in the exam. He made it in his fourth attempt.

All the above stories prove that if you have the will to do something, nobody and no negative circumstance can stop you. You just need to have a strong determination toward achieving your goal. If you put in hard work and effort, you can turn every tide in your favor. Just believe in yourself, believe in your dream, and believe in your efforts.

Captain Vijayant Thapar
Captain Vijayant Thapar
Born : 26 December 1976, Nangal                 Martyred : 29 June 1999, Dras

Captain Vijayant Thapar was commanding the leading platoon of Alfa Company which was tasked to assault area Knoll in Drass sector. While advancing, the platoon was hit by an accurate enemy artillery barrage and it suffered heavy causalities. Displaying remarkable cool and courage, Captain Vijayant Thapar organized the evacuation of the causalities and quickly rallied his shell-shocked platoon for the attack. Personally leading the attack from the Northern face against enemy’s medium machine gun fire which was holding up to company’s assault he fearlessly charged at the enemy position firing from the hip and throwing grenades and shouting the war cry of the battalion.

5 Days SSB Interview

During this act, Captain Vijayant Thapar was grievously injured in the hand and stomach but continued to advance ordering his men to follow him. Roused by the action of their young platoon commander, barely out of the Academy, the platoon charged up the hill against the dominating enemy position.  This audacious action unnerved the enemy and that forced him to abandon a tactically superior position. He, however, succumbed to his injuries. Captain Vijayant Thapar displayed exemplary valour in the presence of the enemy and made the supreme sacrifice for the capture of area Knoll and was awarded posthumously the Vir Chakra.

Battle of Tololing, Knoll and Three Pimples: June 1999

On 11 June 1999, Capt Vijayant’s battalion under the command of Col M.B. Ravindernath, was tasked to capture the feature Tololing. After the initial assault by Major Mohit Saxena was held up, on the night of 12th June’99, Capt Vijayant Thapar led his platoon to capture a Pakistani position called Bar bag Bunker which proved crucial for the onward battle for Tololing. He killed two soldiers in close combat but was disappointed that he couldn’t capture them alive. Tololing was the first victory for Indian army on 13th June 1999 and was the turning point in the war. Later on 28 June, 2 Raj Rif was given the task of capturing Three Pimples, Knoll and Lone Hill area. The attack started with Capt Vijayant’s platoon leading on a full moon night along a razor sharp ridge with no cover to offer. There were intense and accurate artillery shelling and heavy enemy fire. He lost some of his dear men and some more were injured causing the attack to be disrupted. However, with his indomitable spirit and strong determination, he moved ahead along with his troops through a ravine to face the enemy. It was a full moon night and was a very difficult position to capture. The troops of enemy’s 6 Northern Light Infantry had all the advantages. At 8PM the attack commenced when 120 guns opened fire and rockets lit up the sky. In this heavy exchange of fire 2 Raj Rif moved with Capt  Vijayant Thapar leading the attack. Among the first to fall in this battle was Sep Jagmal Singh, Capt  Vijayant’s very dear orderly. Finally, Capt  Vijayant’s company secured a foothold on Knoll. By this time his company commander Major P. Achrya had been killed.  Enraged at this news, Capt  Vijayant surged ahead with his comrade Naik Tilak Singh. Both of them started engaging the enemy merely 15 mts. away. There were two enemy machine guns firing towards them. After about an hour and a half of fierce exchange of fire Capt  Vijayant realized that the enemy machine guns had to be silenced to continue their advance towards their objective.ima friend

Capt  Vijayant in a daring move surged ahead to do that but was hit by a burst of fire that struck him on his head. He fell in the arms of his comrade Naik Tilak Singh. Capt  Vijayant was martyred but motivated by his daredevilry and leadership, his troops later charged at the enemy and fully captured Knoll.
