Swacch%2BBharat%2BAbhiyaan

Hello warriors, to have an extra edge over other candidates in ssb you need to have something different. With this simple motive, I am here to share some STATISTICS on different government policies, schemes and other initiatives. I assure you all that if you would be able to elaborate your sayings with a mixture of these statistics it would be fruitful.

  • 68% of rural households have no toilets.
  • 78% sewage dumped in rivers.
  • 6000 tonnes of plastic waste littered daily.
  • 68.8mn tonnes of waste per year.
  • 41mn missing toilets.
  • 597mn(approx. 600mn) defecating in the open.
  • Even poorer countries fare better.
  • Lack of sanitation is costing India 6.4% GDP.
  • Good sanitation could boost annual per capita income by Rs. 6000 a year.
  • Yet we spend 260 times more on food than sanitation.
  • E.g. $26bn spending on subsidized food and $200mn spending on sanitation.

Mastering the Group Discussion in the SSB Interview

3
ssb group discussion

Greetings to all gallant aspirants, there are many apprehensions and confusions regarding group discussions. Today we will try to obliterate all doubts and dilemmas about the same. Be it in screening or GTO tasks, we are required to deliberate and discuss about an issue in the group. Here candidate’s thoughts are put into scrutiny and it is his behaviour in the group which matters.Therefore, it is important to keep certain things in mind while going for group discussion.

Mastering the Group Discussion in the SSB Interview

  1. Speak Sense :- You might have encountered a few people who shout at the top of their voice but speak the same point over and over again. The assessors are experienced enough to know who is in what depth. Be it any type of GD, always keep in mind that it is not how much you speak, it is what you speak. Your ideas should be acceptable and practical. If you do so, the other group members will agree to you which consequently will make it easier for you to succeed in the GD.
  2. Have Knowledge :- Though most topics in the GD are of average level, it is imperative that you have profound knowledge about cardinal aspects of the world in which we live. If by chance a topic like ‘Indian Foreign policy’ is given to you, unless you have deeper understanding of this topic you cannot continue speaking. That is why it is important to be acquainted with current affairs and other important topics. With knowledge you will not only impress your group members but also the assessors.
    ssb group discussion
  3. Stay Lively :- Having a smile around your face will not even cause you a penny but will fetch you lots of points. There will be times when people will not accept your ideas, just keep your calm at that point. Like you, every other individual has the liberty to speak his mind. Even if you disagree with someone, have a smile around your face and put across your point. Mind you, there are no right and wrong points in the GD. The way in which you propound your points is important.
  4. Don’t Be Rigid :- An officer never snubs the opinion of others. Respect every other opinion which comes across. It is not important that you stick to your opinion till the very end. Remember, this is a GD not a debate. Have a big heart. Even if the other person is saying something vacuous, don’t try to rebuff him.
  5. Give Chance :- Once you have spoken for a fair amount of time and have contributed enough to the GD, give chance to people who want to speak but aren’t getting heard. Remember, it is a group discussion and not a lecturette. Giving chances to all gives an impression that you are considerate towards the weaker group members. Having said that, don’t act like a moderator of the GD, first you keep your points thoroughly then give the chance to others.
  6. Avoid Emotions :- By becoming impetuous you are only digging your own grave. Avoid abrupt reactions and queer expressions. It is not an informal group discussion in which you can create a furore. Bear the demeanor of an officer who doesn’t let emotions take over him.
  7. Give Examples :- Have some source, example and corroboration to support your opinions. For instance give the example of your city when you are speaking about traffic rules, crime against women or any other thing to which you can relate. In this way your words will not only become palatable, but also convincing to the listeners.
  8. Eschew Fish market :- How much ever you try to avoid it, some vitriolic candidates will make the situation worse. If you want to put a point, ask the members to calm down and then speak. Don’t bother about the assessors, they are astute enough to gauge your potential.

Apart from all these points, avoid looking at the assessors in order to check whether you are getting heard or not. Concentrate on the process rather than the result. Just behave in a gentlemanly manner and you will have no problems whatsoever in the group discussions.
That is it for today about the group discussions. I hope these points have helped in some or the other way. Your comments and views are always welcome. Stay tuned to ssbcrack for more such articles.

Five Resolutions That Aspirants Must Have For The New Year

Five Resolutions That Aspirants Must Have For The New Year

Resolutions are like an inseparable part of new-year. With every new-year, comes a lot of new resolutions, which go unnoticed as the year passes by. Thus with the passing years, for us now, resolutions are just fun things, which we make every December, and forget somewhere in mid-January. Friends, resolutions are not something to forget, they are something to follow, and being defence aspirants, you must stick to the promises you make. I have listed below five must have resolutions, which defence aspirants must have for the new-year. I hope you follow atleast one of them, and by follow I mean throughout the year. Comment any other resolution which you have made, or would like to share with us.

Five Resolutions That Aspirants Must Have For The New Year

  1. The resolution to sleep and wake up a little early: “Early to bed and early to rise keeps a person healthy wealthy and wise”, an old saying, which we have forgotten in the era of internet and smart phones. The saying now is “late to bed and early to rise is giving us headache and a swollen eye”. We stay up till late, then struggle in the morning while going to school/college or for work. We are in such a rush in the morning that we forget so many things, including eating and smiling. We reach to our destination with a frown on our face. The reason I am listing this resolution here is, in defence, right from the SSB, you need to wake up early, everything is scheduled, you can’t even sleep five minutes extra. And you need proper rest, so it’s better to sleep a little early and thus wake up a little early too. 
    defence aspirants
  2. The resolution to read: A well-read person can achieve fortunes. Never underestimate the power of reading. Reading has so many benefits, for everybody. For the aspirants it is like a boon. If you are reading enough, you can stay updated with the current things, you can get an excellent vocabulary, you can have a good command over English and you can gain ample knowledge. Make sure you are reading good magazine/book/newspaper/articles.
  3. The resolution to stay fit: For everybody fitness is important for carrying out day-today chores with ease. Once you go for SSB, you’ll realize that fitness is much more important than that. You need to get through long days, you need fitness for that, you need to do outdoor exercises, you need fitness for that, and if you get through the SSB and go for the training then you need a class apart fitness. Fitness does not mean that you need to go running to the gym for a body like Arnold, or start playing a sport to excel like Saina Nehwal. Fitness for you is simply going for a jog in the morning, or evening, or doing mild exercises.
  4. The resolution to stop Procrastinating: Procrastination is a disease of the young generation. We keep on procrastinating until it is a life and death situation. From studies to household chores, from meeting a friend to getting a haircut, we procrastinate anything and everything. If you are not bitten by this snake of procrastination , you are lucky. However, those who love it, should make a resolution to stop it this year. Preparation for SSB is a continuous and rigorous affair, if you’ll keep on procrastinating it’ll affect your preparation.
  5. The resolution to “keep trying”: If you are an aspirant, you’ll understand the importance of not losing hope. It is tough to get rejected and try again. Since you want to get into the forces, you should have determination to make this dream a reality. You might fall down many times but if you have the will, you’ll keep on trying. So do not lose hope when you fail.

Clearing Confusion Related to AFCAT Exam

0
afcat exam

“Go as far as you can see, when you will get there, you will be able to see farther~~ J.P.Morgan”There is no limit that defines your performance. You have to be a hard worker, just to concentrate on your goal. In fact I would suggest having ARJUN (FOCUS only on goal and don’t see anything else) as your role model now as you should learn from our mythological characters and see the good that is around you.  Positivity is the first thing that you should learn if you desire to move towards this direction and want to serve our motherland. You have to see what best could be done in the limited time and with limited options.

Now days I have seen aspirants filling different forms of defence entries, whether it’s AFCAT or TGC. There have been mails full of similar queries, so I thought lets address them here at this platform. There might be certain problems with certain profiles of aspirants as they were not able to fill form, there were technical glitches. Just take a snapshot and mail the same to the email id provided on the website or call on helpline number for help. This is just the basic starting. Get out of it as soon as possible as you still have a lot to do. Once the form is submitted properly forget it and start seeing the syllabus of what things are there that you need to undergo. Keep the following points in mind and it might help in getting a SSB call:

  • Start making a time table as you are left with about two month of time to complete the syllabus, rest time should be utilised for revision and other activities. So divide the available time as per your schedule and convenience to cover all the topics for aptitude. Don’t leave any part unturned.
  • Also pay special emphasis on Technical part as technical entry people need to give the EKT exam along with AFCAT.
  • Once these things are prepared work regularly and every day following the schedules strictly. No problem or daily routine should disturb you from doing this. Keep all the distractions and other things far from you for some time. B serious in preparations.
  • Specially devise time for general awareness as few questions will definitely be from this part and cannot be left. GK is really helpful for people to clear the cut-off’s.
  • Once AFCAT gets over you will be immediately called for SSB in a period of about a month or so never wait for the end moment. SSB is all about personality evaluation, so never wait for the call letter. Just pay some time to introspect yourself also as this might help in preparation beforehand and will help you keep ahead of others and in time you will definitely succeed.
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. Work hard for the written exam as it’s not really tough but just a basic test of intelligence and basics of a person so don’t be afraid and just start working on it. My best wishes are there with you and you will definitely succeed. It would be a pleasure to help and resolve queries and clear doubts which are more often myths that are present in the mind and that can severely degrade the performance.

How To Succeed In SSB

SSB is not an interview of an hour or two; it is a long stretched process of six days. Your personality is monitored for suitability from every aspect. Since the SSB interview is long process, so the preparation for it must be for a long time as well. There is no shortcut to success in SSB. If you want to succeed you need to prepare for a long period of time rigorously. SSB demands a continuous preparation in a planned way. Success is not a very difficult thing in SSB, in fact it is easy, but it is tricky. All you need to do for SSB is to be genuine, many people say this, but very few really understand. Being genuine is being honest, but do you know what honesty in terms of SSB is?

I would say there can be no other interview as easy as SSB if you really understand what SSB is. Every other job interview asks you to change a lot of things in your personality. They demand you to gain and acquire extra knowledge, put in a lot of extra effort in order to get success.

SSB is a different story. It never asks you to acquire skills, it simply asks you to enhance what you already have. You need to put in effort, but not to gain extra knowledge but to polish whatever knowledge you have got, whatever qualities you have got. You just have to know where and how to present your qualities, the Officer Like Qualities that they need.

How To Succeed In SSB

You would have heard that though the food might be very tasty, but unless you present it properly, nobody will be tempted towards eating it. Now consider yourself at SSB, you might be very good, with mind blowing qualities, but if you do not present those qualities at the right time, nobody will know that you have them at the first place. So act wisely. There are times you need to show your leadership qualities and you should not miss those moments, go ahead work and lead by example.
Honesty in SSB is nothing but presenting what you have at the right time. You do not need to fake anything. And yes remember that not telling something is not cheating. You can still be honest if you are not telling something about yourself, which you think will diminish your chances. It is perfectly all right, till you make sure you do not get caught. That is why you need to practice for a long time, so that you have an answer for everything, so that you make no mistakes. You need to give in some time to understand yourself, to understand how, when and where you have to do what and thus succeed. SSB is not rocket science, do not put in your head to understand how the system works, just see that what your part is, and perform well in that zone. All the best!

What Is Expected In SSB Personal Interview?

Personal Interview in SSB has got the most weightage in the selection procedure. The Interviewing Officer who takes this interview is generally a high-rank officer (most of the time board president). There are different norms in different boards as to who takes the interview of whom. While in some boards president takes the interview of only fresher, yet in other he takes the interview of only repeaters, while in yet other boards there is no such obligation. Personal Interview is the shortest duration test that happens in SSB. While Psychological test lasts for two-two and a half hours, Group Testing may last for eight to ten hours. The Personal Interview lasts somewhere between 20 minutes to 90 minutes, for the maximum. So it is like you can ensure your chances in this short duration and get through the SSB Interview. Let us see what all is expected in a personal interview in SSB:

  • Reasonable Confidence: You are there to get into the forces, where the people are full of beaming confidence. If you are not confident enough you can never be good leader. You must portray confidence from the way you talk, the way you sit and the way you walk. You should talk without hesitating while answering something, walk smartly and sit upright. If you are slouchy in your appearance then you look like an under confident chap. There is a thin line between confidence and over confidence, while the former is necessary, the latter may screw up all your chances of success.
  • Basic Awareness: You are expected to be a candidate who has knowledge about their surroundings. You must be aware in general about what all is happening around you, in current affairs. You should know in depth about the people whom you are close to in life. Having a basic awareness shows that you are somebody who keeps his/her eyes and ear open.
  • Self Awareness: Nobody can be truly intelligent until they have knowledge about themselves. It is very difficult to introspect your own personality and find out what all areas you are good in and in what all areas you lack. You can never become a complete person until you know yourself. So take time to determine your qualities. It is easy to criticize and correct somebody else, but takes courage to criticize and correct oneself.
  • Honesty: This is the most important thing which is expected from a candidate, not only in Personal Interview, but in all tasks. You must be the same person as you portray in the PIQ. If you have not done something or you fill in wrong information in the PIQ, there are huge chances of you getting caught! So beware, if you lose this quality once, you can never regain it back.
  • PIQ: You should fill the PIQ genuinely; never brag about anything in it. Write only the correct information as most likely your interview will be based largely on PIQ.
  • Subject Knowledge: If you are applying for technical entry then it is a must to know the basic principles. Otherwise also, you should be able to answer simple question asked, based on the qualifying exam through which you are getting into the forces.
