I am a student of sainik school balachadi (Gujarat) . I had this year only appeared for my class 12. This was my first ever SSB. So I thought of sharing my experience with other aspirants too. At present I am waiting for my merit list to come. At the time of reporting there were around 140 candidates , out of which 85 got screened in and 17 got recommended. At the time of screening my chest no. was 39 and after it , was chest no. 26 .
As the no. of candidates who were screened in were many, so our ssb lasted for 6 days means from ( 21 jan- 26 jan ).
Day 1
On day one after seeing all candidates at the station I was a bit nervous but I kept on boosting my confidence . Then after reaching the board campus I got the feel that now the real battle begins .
The day began with intelligence tests . There were 2 sets of 40 each , and truly speaking no any pattern was followed as I heard about before. In first one i did 36 and in second one 38 .
Then came the turn of PPDT test , in that we were shown a picture consisting of 2 ladies and a men (all were standing ) . I made a story on widow rehabilitations in which I made the hero as an NGO worker. After that we were divided in groups and were taken in a room where the officer told us to start discussion . The discussion started in which I participated for about 3 to 4 times , and the best thing was that many of my group mates were supporting my story .
After all this we went for lunch and after lunch the result was declared and I got screened in .
In the evening we filled PIQ forms and then went to our rooms .
Day 2
On the second day in the morning we were having PABT test . It started with battery test and those who passed it went for playing the game . I passed the battery test and then went for playing the game .
It was a nice experience.
The results of the PABT test were declared on the last day and fortunately I cleared it . In the evening we were having our PSYCHOLOGY test .
It started around 4 in the afternoon , I was a bit nervous but confident because I did a lot of preparation for PSYCHOLOGY test . I myself wrote about 30 stories on various themes . Practiced around 500 words along with which I totally mugged up my self description and the SRT’s used to always remain normal only .
So the PSYCHOLOGY test began with TAT I started writing stories and I wrote all the 12 stories within the time limit only . Further also I was able to put on a good show and did each and every thing successfully . I was totally satisfied with my performance.
One thing that had to be kept in mind while preparing for PSYCHOLOGY test is that u had to present your own personality , if u are mugging up your SD then make sure that u had written it and it gives a shape of your personality . If you are writing stories on various themes , try to find out those themes that u may had performed in any sphere of your life (for example :- sports, debates, camps , elocution and many others ). In the evening we played basketball in court, in our living area .
Day 3
On this day I was having my personal interview . I got fully dressed in glittering formal dress and after having my breakfast went to waiting hall . I was among the one who were having there interviews in the beginning . I was just making myself cool at the time i was seating in the waiting hall . But other candidates started discussing among them asking various G.K questions , but I ignored them all . Finally chest no. 26 flashed on screen and I went upstairs for my interview .
As I went in , the interviewing officer started shooting question upon me . He even didn’t made me comfortable . In the beginning I was scared but slowly I gained momentum and confidence . I was just telling the truth to him i even told him that i was being once suspended . Then he discussed a lot about it . I was not able to answer few of the questions . Finally after 45 minutes. I was being said bye from interviewing officer. Interview was a 75-25 performance.
In the evening I went for outing with my new and old friends . We went to kfc , mc’d and also for sight seeing. It was a enjoyable trip.
Day 4
This day was a rest for the members of our group and few others too . So we played basketball and went to see movie it was a great fun in this day.
Day 5
On this day I was having my GTO task . Due to lage number of candidates the GTO got over in a day only except of 2 days . So my GTO began with 2 GROUP DISCUSSIONS . I participated well in both , except of speaking in length I spoke effectively .
I participated well in group planning too and was able to convince the group on various points . So in start only I was able to leave a impact upon the GTO OFFICER .
Then we went for outdoor task . Over there also I was able to give ideas when the group got struck . In individual obstacles I did all obstacles successfully.
In Command Task I was given a tough task . It was really tricky , but after a bit of time I was able to do it and made GTO sir totally satisfied . Full group task was also a easy one .
In rest of the events also I did well . So GTO task at the end was a outstanding performance.
Day 6
It was the day of result . The stage was set for bang . We all got ready early for our conference . After having our breakfast we went to the conference hall . We were being called over there chest number wise . After some time my turn also came as I entered the hall I saw a bunch of officers seated in their glittering uniforms . Then the board president asked me a few normal questions about my stay and all , then he asked about my school . I answered all of them confidently.
Finally after lunch the Result Was Being Announced.
Before me there was chest number 24 was there as his chest number was announced I stood to provide him space and at that moment only the officer announced my chest Number that Was 26 . To listen it was the happiest moment of my life .
So This Way I Came To The End Of A Never Forgettable Event …
At Last I Would Just Quote A Few Words Of One Of My Beloved Senior
“ To Achieve Ur Aim Just U Require Is Positive Approach Toward Ur Destiny Along With Motivation “ ……
Hats Off Folkssss…………………..
