Indian Army Plans to Extend Short Service Commission (SSC) Tenure

short service commission duration

The Indian Army’s Short Service Commission (SSC) will now be made longer in the hope of making it more attractive. The government is actively considering a proposal to give SSC officers the option of working for 18 years. The move is also aimed at addressing the problem of a shortage of officers, particularly in the lower ranks. The tenure of SSC officers at the moment is 10 years, which is extendable by four years. The army will now give these officers an option of re- employment for another four years. Through the new initiative, an SSC officer will have the choice to remain in service for 18 years.
After re- employment, the officer will continue to enjoy the same rank and respect but with a downgraded pay- scale as is the standard norm. Most of the Short Service Officers retire at the rank of lieutenant colonel. They are not eligible for post- retirement benefits, which can be availed only after completing 20 years of service. The shortage of officers has been a major problem in the armed forces. The Army was short of 8,544 officers as of January 1. The shortfall in the other ranks was 16,597 as on April 1, 2014. The shortage of officers has been decreasing steadily in the past four years because of the introduction of several measures. Extending the tenure of SSC officers from 10 to 14 years was one such move.
Most of the shortage of officers is in the junior ranks while the higher ranks are witnessing stagnation. Apart from extending the tenure of service to 18 years, the government is considering other proposals like granting post- retirement benefits to SSC officers. The SSC scheme had lost his sheen in the absence of post employment benefits. One measure in making the service more attractive is allowing women officers to command units. This is also a step in the direction of giving permanent commission to SSC officers.

Several SSC officers have struggled to get employment after leaving the army. The common refrain is that somebody who has given his prime years for the nation should be adequately compensated and rehabilitated. An officer usually has to start from scratch in the civil world after hanging up the uniform, which is not an easy task as most of the officers lack specialisation. Even within the army, there have been complaints that SSC officers face discrimination in day-to-day functioning and many commanding officers treat them differently.
The entire SSC scheme is on the verge of collapse and it was crucial to resurrect it, sources said.

Five Tips Of Self-Development For SSB Interview

Five Tips Of Self-Development For SSB Interview. SSB is an exam where personality and psychology are assessed. Hence, the preparations also need to be made accordingly. Once the personality is developed full recommendation at SSB is by default. Then we need not prepare anything for SSB, but yes the personality needs to be developed and we need to build a positive psychology. We have been talking about being positive and other such things but aspirants don’t understand what it really means. They try to superimpose wrong thought process on their personality and then what comes as the final outcome is a mismatched personality which leads to rejection. I have talked about this aspect in detail in my earlier articles, so please refer that. Here we will see few elements of self-development that can be helpful in SSB preparation:

Five Tips Of Self-Development For SSB Interview

Here we will see few elements of self-development that can be helpful in SSB preparation:

  • Positive thought process: This is a must for being successful at SSB. It means thinking positive even in adverse situations. This needs to be developed by seeing and working in the positive direction. This becomes easy when a right guidance is taken.
  • Learning aptitude: Everyone has some weakness and strength. I have been receiving queries from mentees and aspirants that whether it’s good to reveal qualities and weakness in front of assessors but I will comment that even if you don’t tell assessors will catch you, as they are experts so it’s better to reveal yourself but yes you should know how to tell so weigh things and tell.
  • Be yourself: There is no need to copy someone else as you are the best in whatever form you are. You just need to inherit the degrees of qualities being assessed at SSB so just proper identification of yourself can lead to revealing the true self.
  • Body language: This is the most important part as it can create a very positive impression among the assessors. Your body speaks a lot and even assessors are expert and trained to study the body language, so beware that they don’t catch up your negative body stature and mark you out. One needs to identify the positive body language and represent in all the rounds whether they are performing individually or in groups.
  • Being social: this is actually an OLQ as you need to be in a group and one need to give their best with different personalities all together whether they are officers or soldiers. So start practicing it while you prepare and explore the world now so that you have the right quotient of this essential quality. Also if all qualities are developed in right proportion it’s really easy to clear SSB.

Why am I not getting screened in at SSB?

screening in ssb

Why am I not getting screened in at SSB. Screening is the main stage where major elimination takes place in SSB. It’s a first-day round which have OIR and PPDT as the rounds conducted on the aspirants where they are assessed and checked for the initial OLQ’s and the potential to be an officer. The written test checks the basic aptitude and the PPDT test the individual performance along with the group performance. Though all the rounds look simple, but they actually test a lot which aspirants don’t realisze. Also a point to note is that the number of assessors involved in screening is more than any of the other rounds of SSB, there in other rounds you will have only one assessor evaluating on different parameters while at screening you will see three assessors evaluating you. So there is no scope of mistake in assessment, be assured for that.

Why am I not getting screened in at SSB

I have seen aspirants complaining that their luck factor does not work at screening or some people even say that they only initiated the discussion and spoke a lot but could not get selected. Some say that people who were shouting got selected while on the contrary some complain that people who were sitting and smiling and didn’t even spoke a word got screened in. There are many myths that will come to your ear but do not listen to any. You have to understand the basic concept of selection at SSB and accordingly work on your personality and psychology which is the primary factor looked in at SSB. Whether you perform in the ground or write things in a copy or even speak something, be assured that psychology and qualities are only being assessed. So I thought of addressing the same though this medium. The following things are judged at SSB screening round:

  • OIR which involves basic aptitude and reasoning ability of an aspirant. Even if this comes in the average range you are screened in.
  • Then comes the PPDT where a hazy picture is shown and the perception is measured for having the potential to become an officer. This is the most important round where the story and the individual narration are given importance. Then comes the GD part where group performance is evaluated. Even if you are at par individually, your chances for selection are clear; then the group performance hardly matters. But this does not really means that you need not perform at GD.
  • If you have performed well in story part and narration you have clearly shown the potential and have come into the eyes of officers, hence the maximum workout needs to be done in this area. If story are written as per expectations and stories have all the material essentially needed selection is already confirmed.
  • So all the aspirants must prepare for this aspect and get ready to be screen in.

screening in ssb

How to narrate and write wonderful stories would be dealt it in a separate article. Still If you have any confusion or feel to take individual assessment of personality for OLQ’s or prepare from your place itself through one to one interaction through my mentoring / counselling program drop me a mail at [email protected] or add me on Fb and drop in a message. Getting screen in is an easy task if the right approach is followed. Revealing personal self fully will get the recommendation if the right path is followed and things are worked with proper guidance. Guidance in large groups may cause loosing of the individual essence of personality as SSB is something very much individualistic so prefer personal guidance instead of large groups so that all the do’s and don’t’s could be followed as per self. Keep reading for the next series of suggestions.

Got Recommended in Indian Army TGC-121 from 17 SSB Board

Screening Day: got up early, refreshed my mind and focused on the officer qualities I should show to them. OIR was pretty much easy. I wrote a story based on the current event, ex: Nepal earthquake and rescue operation. Qualities reflected in my story: helping nature, initiative, alertness, and adventurism.
Don’t include the above qualities intentionally into your story, stick to the normal flow of your story.
I tried to avoid book stories. There was a clear idea of past, present, and future in my story and I narrated the story confidently. Listened to the stories of my group mates carefully and found out the main confusing element we were having from the picture. I was able to point out the same in GD which lasted only for max 2min.
Tips:

  • All story are good however it doesn’t matter unless until you are able to innovate.
  • Be calm and confident about your story even if it is unique from all others.
  • Accept the logical points from others.
  • Don’t shout in GD unnecessarily unless you have a good point to make.
  • 40 out of 320 got screened in the first day.

Psychology test

PPDT: Writing speed and handwriting matters here, so please do practice on the same.
I stick with my plan so that I was able to write practical stories and sometimes I felt it was like SRT (situation Reaction Test) Don’t go for a super heroic act. Don’t miss any details from the picture.
WAT: Write whatever comes to your mind, I even wrote a same word which I don’t know the meaning.
Speed is the key. Be alert and keep track of the count of the word.
SRT: do attempt at least 40+.Speed is the key. Don’t manipulate you thought and let it be free.
Tip: there will be similar SRT among the other 60 situations. Please do write the same reaction.
Our mind reacts in the same way for similar situations.
SD: I wrote self-description in my own way. Don’t copy it from a book, use your own words. They won’t check for your writing skill but the content.
Personal Interview: Interviewer can ask about anything under sun. The interview lasted for minimum 30min.
As I was for TGC entry, Interviewer asked technical questions from ECE.
GK and current affairs:

  • Terrorist organizations in the world and India
  • IPKF (Indian Peace Keeping Force)
  • Nations and currency
  • India’s geography
  • Current major issues in the world and India
  • History (WWI and WWII)

Frankly I got screwed in Interview however I was never been honest before in any Interview like this.
GTO: This is where I think I scored well.
1st GD
1) India’s Internal security threat and how can we resolve the same.
2) How upcoming Land bill affect our farmers.
We choose 2nd one and I was able to speak second and added more points in between.
2nd GD
1) How to reduce road accidents? Introducing more police force, improving Infrastructure, obey rules and awareness programs.
2) I was able to point out that we missed discussing improving infrastructure and changed the direction of discussion.

GPE

  • Be alert and listen to the instruction given by the GTO very carefully.
  • I was able to perform well in group planning exercise as I was the one who pointed out the priorities.
  • Don’t take wild guesses from the narration of the situation.
  • Be precise and calculate the time and distance as you will get enough time for this.
  • Be quick.

PGT & HGT

  • I was with my team of 10. Helped them and gave ideas to them. Actually I didn’t perform well as I could able to analyze the task properly. However, I did well in HGT with the team of 5. Slowly I was grasping things.
  • I was with my team of 10. Helped them and gave ideas to them. Actually I didn’t perform well as I could able to analyze the task properly. However, I did well in HGT with the team of 5. Slowly I was grasping things.
  • Most of the time GTO helped us to clear the obstacles, so don’t worry even if you didn’t get any ideas but always be with your team.
  • Don’t outsmart your team as GTO can easily notice that you are well trained to do this PGT and all.

Lecture

  • Article 370
  • SAARC
  • Internet
  • Arranged marriage Vs love marriage

These all were in my paper and I choose Internet and talked about it with respect to internet net neutrality which is a current hot topic.
Tips:

  • Choose a topic in which you can talk for 3 min.
  • Deliver your speech in structured manner.
  • Stay calm and speak loudly
  • Stay steady and take care of your body language
  • Be confident and practice it often in front of a mirror or with your friends.

Snake Race

  • This is where you should show your josh and aggressiveness. Help others, as well as keep, motivate others with the war cry.
  • It’s not about who finishes first, it’s all about how you finish.
  • Stay with your team.
  • Obey the rules like “red are out of bound “and if you break any rules tell the GTO if asked the same.

Individual Obstacle (IO)

  • Be physically fit before going to SSB and you can show the same in IO. Try not to miss harder obstacle.
  • At first, do the balancing obstacle.
  • Don’t be afraid. Just do it.

Commando task

  • GTO set the difficulty level of the commando task as per candidate standard. If you get a difficult one then the GTO expect higher performance from you.
  • I got a moderate task and I was able to finish within 1min. After that GTO asked one question which he already asked to the group during PGT. I answered and it was clear that he was very impressed.
  • I was able to show that I can learn things faster and implement them.
  • I called 3 times by my teammates. However, It adds little value to your overall performance.

FGT

  • Same like PGT, try to give ideas to cross and be with the team.

Conference

  • JCO instructed us to how to behave in the conference.

Tips:

  • Prepare the unanswered questions from the interview as the same interviewer may or may not ask the same questions to you.
  • If you don’t prepare for it then say no without hesitation.
  • My conference lasted for max 3 min. Hope for the best and be confident.
  • Make your communication English fluent so that you should be able to convey your thoughts and command.
  • Practice psychology test, increase the speed as well as maintaining your good handwriting.
  • Once you got screened in, make sure that you mingle with at least your group. Your bonding reflects in GTO tasks.
  • Be honest in Interview.
