Do I Really Require SSB Interview Coaching?

By

Time and again people ask the same question. Today I would try to settle the debate once and for all. There are mainly three types of candidates for SSB interview or any other exam. One, who are very confident about themselves (sometimes too much confident) and have been the front runners at various activities in their school & college. They have won many prizes in sports and cultural activities. They are extrovert, and can easily befriend people.

The second category candidates are shy, meek and introvert. They find it very difficult to speak in public despite having adequate knowledge. They are screened out more often than not.
The third category candidates lie in between the above two categories. They are neither good nor bad. They are a bit confused more often than not.

Now the question arises, which category requires coaching and which doesn’t.

Do I Really Require SSB Interview Coaching?

Coaching v/s Training

There is a thin line of difference between these two words. Coaching is like working in a rigid and concrete way as prescribed by the coaching institute. Whereas, training imparts basic and essential knowledge about the process and let’s you to develop your individual self according to the parameters. Remember, SSB interview is not like any other engineering or medical exam which can be passed through coached ideas. You are an individual and your thoughts/responses must conform to your individuality.Therefore, it is not about what type of people require coaching. It is about whether the candidate understands the procedure or not. One must be thorough with the qualities which are required by the forces.
CRUX
If you possess adequate communication skills, understand yourself, and have the finesse to deal with various people, you do not require any external push. Whereas, if you are tad weak in any of these attributes, then you may take up training to enhance your skills. Mind you, getting genuine guidance about the SSB interview always puts you at ease. Therefore, it is about getting the basics right and applying your own brain towards the right direction.
I hope you have got an insight on whether to go for training or not. However any type of doubts are welcome on [email protected].

Specialities of Indian Defence Officer

By
Jayendra Singh

0
premature retirements

It’s the dream of every youth to have that uniform on the body, those shining stars/ rings or strips on the shoulder, those awards and medals on the chest. They are always pride for an individual. The culture that you belong to once you are an officer, the style of living, or whatever it’s totally different from the civilian culture we are part of now. Time becomes more precious and motherland the most. Their priority changes and they see things differently. Now you will be thinking that do they have all this from the very beginning.

The answer is a big NO … these things they learn as a part of stringent training that they undergo after being recommended for the defence forces. But yes one thing is very much true that they have the spark to do something in life, they have a bit of each and every quality that is present in a officer which is later developed fully through training.

indian navy lady officer


I had read somewhere that an officer must have the following ability:

An officer should be able to

  • Heal the wound
  • Plan an expedition
  • Order from a French menu
  • Climb a mountain face
  • Enjoy a ballet
  • Balance accounts
  • Role a kayak
  • Embolden a friend
  • Tell a joke
  • Laugh at himself
  • Cooperate
  • Act alone
  • Sing a children song
  • Solve equation
  • Throw a dog a stick
  • Pitch manure
  • Program a computer
  • Cook a tasty meal
  • Love heartedly
  • Fight efficiently and
  • Die gallantry

Specialization is for insects ~~ Lewis E Hitchner The above lines speak the ability that an officer must have and Lewis defines it clearly. They should be perfect in whatever they do because specialisation is just for insects. I hope you get the jest of what an officer means for the nation. They are formed of stone and share the ability to survive in every condition, they are made to learn how to strive for excellence and die for their motherland. They are perfect and are adaptable to every condition. That’s why SSB is designed such, that judges your qualities and then only makes you move ahead to get the title of an officer with that shining uniform, stars and medals on the chest.
