From failing to get into NCC to getting recommended on the first attempt, hello aspirants. This is Prateek Hanchate from Pune, Maharashtra. I recently got recommended for the Indian Navy pilot course from 12 SSB Bangalore on my very first attempt.
My journey for SSB preparation started way back when I was in my 1st year of engineering and it was the same time when I first realised that defence forces is where I want to make my career. As an aspirant, I wanted to join the NCC Air wing. But because of lack of physical fitness, I wasn’t able to clear the assessment and get into the NCC.
This failure had taught me a lot in terms of my preparation to get into the forces. After failing to qualify for the NCC, I made sure that I will work from now onwards for my first ever SSB which was scheduled after 3 years from that time. Talking about my very first SSB experience, there were a total of 77 candidates who reported on day 1.
After our documentation and all other formalities, we had our OIR test. For me, the OIR was very easy stuff as I had practiced a lot for this test especially from SSBCrackcontent which is available online as well as in the form of books. In fact, we got a lot of time to do both the OIR sets. Now came the very important aspect of screening test, which is the PPDT.
We were shown an accident scene which was very clear and I wrote a story which involved the past, present and future as well as minute details like how the main character tried to help the injured person. The thing is, it was a practical story which many of us can relate to if we get into such a situation. My narration was good and every candidate was cooperative towards the group during the discussion. A total of 26 candidates got screened in and I was given chest number 8.
After this we had to fill some forms which included the PIQ form. I had prepared my PIQ before my SSB because of which I didn’t missed anything in the actual PIQ form. Next day we had the psychology test. First was TAT (Thematic Association Test), and out of the 11 pictures which were shown to us, 3 were related to accident. The last picture was blank and I had prepared a good story during my preparation. Now the thing is, I didn’t practice much for psychological test as wanted that my true self should get reflected through these stories.
Most of my stories were related to my past experiences which had actually happened. Second was the WAT (Word Association Test). This was the only test which didn’t went well for me. I did all the 60 words but my hand writing was bad and there were 2-3 words for which I wasn’t able to frame a sentence so I just wrote the same word. I was disappointed with my performance in this particular test. Then came the SRT (Situation reaction Test).
I did 40 of them out of 60 and all were practical and true responses. For the self-description test, again I had prepared everything beforehand so this also went well. Except WAT, I was overall satisfied with my performance in the psychology test. An important thing to note here is that, I tried to relate my psychological test responses with those with I have written in my PIQ form and self-description. On the same day I had my interview as well.
My interview was taken by the president of the board. Basically, the interview was mainly based on my PIQ form as there were a lot of things which I had done in my past which I had included in my PIQ. Additionally, there were questions related to my academics, teachers, family, why low marks in 12th, friends and many current affair questions.
Also, there were many questions related to aviation since I had written aviation as one of my interests in my PIQ form for which I gave answers for all the questions. I was confident as well as clear in all my responses hence I was overall satisfied with my performance in my interview. Next day, GTO tasks were scheduled. As soon as we reached the ground the GTO started to grill our group. Every time he used to scold us without any reason.
The main reason for this was that, he wanted to build pressure on all of us. On first day of GTO, PGT, HGT, group obstacle race, group discussion and lecturette were done. In PGT and HGT, there were some candidates who were overpowering and hence I didn’t get much chance in these tests. Group discussion and lecturette went really well. Every member of the group had put points in the group discussion. For lecturette, I took the topic of India – US relation.
On day 4, we had the last series of our GTO tasks which included individual obstacles, command task and final group task. For individual obstacles, I did all except balancing beam as the beams had become slippery due to heavy rains. Command task is one of the tasks in which I excelled the most. I got task to diffuse the bomb and I did it in my own way. Even the testing officer appreciated me for my performance in the command task.
Final group task also went well as the whole group was cooperating this time and everyone got the chance to come forward. This was the end of our assessment for SSB. As it was the last night for all of us, we enjoyed a lot as we shared horror stories, our future plans, etc and had fun. We literally slept at 2:30 AM that night. Next day, we had our conference. Everyone was tensed and waiting for their chance. I remember we all were waiting in Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan Hall which in itself was a very motivational experience.
Before our conference began, a Navy officer in his sparkling white uniform came and motivated us to accept whatever be the result and said that this is not the end there will always be opportunities coming towards you, it’s just that you have to grab that opportunity and give your best next time. The conference started and after some time my chance came. Before they called me, there was a waiting time of around 10-15 minutes.
I was called and as soon as I entered the room, there were around 8-10 naval officers sitting in front of me. They asked me to rate my performance and give rank to different assessments which were taken. They asked me whether I have taken any professional coaching for which my answer was in negative and the typical questions related to the stay, food and friends made during this period. Finally, the results were announced.
The officer started announcing the chest number and as soon as he announced chest number 8, I was overwhelmed and said to myself that yes, I did it. It was the result of my 4 year’s preparation. All those late-night studies, some failures which I had encountered, physical fitness activities and above all believing in myself, didn’t go in vain.
Along with me there were other 2 who got recommended. One was already a gentleman cadet in OTA and another guy was previously recommended for OTA. I was the only fresher who got recommended. After a gap of 3 days, we were sent to AFSB Mysuru for our CPSS test for flying branch. We were a total of 6 candidates which included 3 Navy candidates and 3 Air force candidates. 4 cleared the CPSS including me. This was the day when I realised that my dream for flying and protecting the sky of my motherland is going to get accomplished soon!
Now there are some things which I would like to share with you all which may give you some boost to crack SSB.
Have a clear-cut vision. it’s not only for defence aspirants but all those who wants to do something in their lives. This will help you to not get distracted to other things and only focus on what you want and stick to the same plan.
Be determined and not obsessed. You are obsessed to get something when you are only thinking about that particular thing, but on the other hand, when you are determined, you are thinking about that thing as well as working towards achieving it.
Most important thing to keep in mind during your assessment is that, you should relate your responses which you have given in your PIQ, self-description with your responses in psychological tests. Be consistent while answering in personal interview. In my case, the interviewer was asking the same question 2-3 times at different point of time that whether I have taken any coaching or not. The same question was asked to me during my conference.
Don’t go to the SSB without any preparation. There are certain things which you can prepare for like the OIR, PIQ, self-description, current affairs, etc. Also, don’t go over prepared. I have seen people by hearting TAT and SRT responses. I was surprized when a guy in my batch was by hearting responses for conference. This will do more harm than good to you. Only prepare for those things where preparation is needed. You don’t require extensive preparation for psychology tests and GTO.
If you do not do well in one particular test, doesn’t matter, forget about it and move on as there are other tests where you can excel. Thinking about the past where you haven’t done well will only affect your present and future performance.
Accept failure and try to make a strong comeback. In my case, I wanted to join NCC but failed in the assessment. That day, I made sure that this is going to be my last failure to join the forces. I worked upon my physic by running marathons. Today, I am a half marathon runner all because of that failure which I had encountered in my past. Learn from the failure and make sure you don’t do the same mistake again.
Do what suits you. Some people might say that you will need a daily time table to be successful. It all depends on you. In my case, I never had any daily time table kind of thing in my life. I was completely flexible with my day. The only thing I made sure was that I completed every task which I had assigned to myself on that particular day itself. In fact, I am not a person who only focuses on studies, I used to do cycling, running, indulging in my hobbies, a lot of extracurricular activities in the college etc.
A very important aspect of my success in SSB was because of the extra-curricular activities in which I was a part. In my school as well as college, I have always had my hand in extracurricular activities. These were not just for the sake of enjoyment but these activities have helped me to inculcate the leadership qualities which the assessors are looking in a candidate in the SSB. I used to organise events, participate in group as well as because of my past experience, during my final year of engineering, I was assigned the post of technical secretary of my department where I had to handle numerous different types of events throughout the year.
At least take up 1 sport so that you enjoy as well as maintain your fitness levels. It can be anything, cricket, football, basketball, badminton, etc. in my case, it was long-distance running as this is the easiest exercise (for short distance) which you can do since it doesn’t require any sophisticated equipment.
Never give up and have persistence. There will always be setbacks which will try to bring your morale down, but if you have thought that you are going to achieve that thing by hook or crook, then stand up again, go back and start from scratch, if not now, you will definitely make it tomorrow.
Finally, I would only say that SSB doesn’t require any extensive preparation. What you need is a right guidance. You don’t have to be a topper in academics, a national sports champion, or a son/daughter of a defence officer.
You need to be a normal person who can be trained by the forces according to their standards. Don’t take it as an ordinary test, it’s a test of your personality which you can improve by doing day to day works, taking up leadership activities in school or college and helping your friends or family members. That’s it, all the best to every defence aspirants who are reading this article and don’t forget, the day will definitely come when you will wear those ranks on your shoulders!!!!!!!

INS Vikrant and the new Indian Navy ensign are going to be the hot topics in the SSB Interview. Below you can read the complete details related to INS Vikrant.
Showcasing the country’s growing prowess of indigenous manufacturing and a major milestone in the path towards ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi commissioned the country’s first indigenous aircraft carrier Indian Naval Ship (INS) Vikrant at Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) on September 02, 2022.
During the event, the Prime Minister also unveiled the new Naval Ensign (Nishaan), doing away with the colonial past and befitting the rich Indian maritime heritage. He dedicated the new ensign to Chhatrapati Shivaji.
Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said, here on the coast of Kerala, every Indian is witnessing the sunrise of a new future. This event being held on the INS Vikrant is a tribute to the rising spirits of India on the world horizon. He said that today we are seeing a manifestation of the dream of the freedom fighters where they envisioned a capable and strong India. The Prime Minister exclaimed “Vikrant is huge, massive, and vast.

Vikrant is distinguished, Vikrant is also special. Vikrant is not just a warship. This is a testament to the hard work, talent, influence and commitment of India in the 21st century.
If the goals are distant, the journeys are long, the ocean and the challenges are endless – then India’s answer is Vikrant. The incomparable Amrit of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav is Vikrant. Vikrant is a unique reflection of India becoming self-reliant.”
Commenting on the new mood of the nation, the Prime Minister said, no challenge is too difficult for today’s India. He said “today, India has joined those countries in the world, which manufacture such a huge aircraft carrier with indigenous technology.
Today INS Vikrant has filled the country with a new confidence, and has created a new confidence in the country.” The Prime Minister acknowledged and praised the contribution of the Navy, engineers of Cochin Shipyard, scientists and specially the workers who worked on the project. He also noted the happy and auspicious occasion of Onam that is adding even more happiness to the occasion.
Every part of INS Vikrant has its own merits, a strength, a development journey of its own. It is a symbol of indigenous potential, indigenous resources and indigenous skills. The steel installed in its airbase is also indigenous, developed by DRDO scientists and produced by Indian companies, he said.
Explaining the massive proportions of the Carrier, the Prime Minister said it is like a floating city. It produces electricity that is sufficient to power 5000 households and the wiring used will reach Kashi from Kochi, he said. He said that INS Vikrant is a living embodiment of the Spirit of the Panch Prans that he proclaimed from the ramparts of Red Fort.
The Prime Minister talked about the Indian Maritime tradition and naval capabilities. Chhatrapati Veer Shivaji Maharaj, he said, built such a navy on the strength of this sea power, which kept the enemies on their toes. When the British came to India, they used to be intimidated by the power of Indian ships and trade through them. So they decided to break the back of India’s maritime power. History is witness to how strict restrictions were imposed on Indian ships and merchants by enacting a law in the British Parliament at that time, the Prime Minister said.
The Prime Minister noted that today on the historic date of September 2, 2022, India has taken off a trace of slavery, a burden of slavery. The Indian Navy has got a new flag from today. Till now the identity of slavery remained on the flag of Indian Navy. But from today onwards, inspired by Chhatrapati Shivaji, the new Navy flag will fly in the sea and in the sky.
The Prime Minister remarked that when Vikrant descends to protect our maritime zone, many women soldiers of the Navy will also be stationed there. With the immense power of the ocean, boundless female power, it is becoming the lofty identity of the new India. Now the Indian Navy has decided to open all its branches for women. The restrictions that were there are now being removed. Just as there are no boundaries for the capable waves, there will be no boundaries or restrictions for the daughters of India.
The Prime Minister said drop by drop water becomes like a vast ocean. He also mentioned the salute by indigenous canon on this Independence Day. Similarly, if every citizen of India starts living the mantra of ‘Vocal for Local’, then it will not take long for the country to become self-reliant.
Commenting on the changing geo-strategic situation, he said in the past, security concerns in the Indo-Pacific region and the Indian Ocean have long been ignored. But, today this area is a major defence priority of the country for us. That is why we are working in every direction, from increasing the budget for the Navy to increasing its capability, he said. The Prime Minister said that a strong India will pave the way for a peaceful and safe world.
In his address, Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh termed the commissioning of INS Vikrant at the onset of ‘Amritkal’ as a testament to the Government’s strong resolve to ensure the safety and security of the nation in the next 25 years. “INS Vikrant is a glowing symbol of an aspirational and self-reliant ‘New India’. It is an icon of pride, power and resolve of the Nation. Its commissioning is an unprecedented achievement in the path of building indigenous warships. Indian Navy’s tradition is ‘old ships never die’. This new avatar of Vikrant, which played a stellar role in the 1971 war, is a humble tribute to our freedom fighters and brave soldiers,” he said.
Shri Rajnath Singh also asserted that it is a key responsibility of the Indian Navy to secure the country’s maritime interests for uninterrupted maritime trade, amid the constantly-changing global situation. He commended the Navy for always being the ‘First Responder’ in times of any national or international crisis and exuded confidence that the commissioning of INS Vikrant will further enhance the force’s capability. He added that this is an assurance to the friendly foreign countries that India is fully capable of meeting the collective security needs of the region. “We believe in a free, open and inclusive Indo-Pacific. Our efforts in this regard are guided by ‘SAGAR’ (Security and Growth for All in the Region) as envisioned by the Prime Minister,” he said.
The Raksha Mantri also described the commissioning of INS Vikrant as a confirmation that the Government’s unwavering commitment to achieve ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ is not an isolated policy. It is an important part of the huge transformative change taking place in India under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, he said.
Shri Rajnath Singh commended the Prime Minister for his visionary leadership in realising the dream of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’, stating that the government has made path breaking changes in all sectors such as defence, health, education, agriculture, trade, transport and communication. He listed out a series of steps taken by Ministry of Defence to achieve the objective. These include setting up of defence corridors in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu; issuance of three positive indigenisation lists; earmarking of 68% of capital procurement budget for domestic industry; Defence Production and Export Promotion Policy 2020 and increase in FDI limit. He said, the aim is ‘Make in India, Make for the World’ and exports of more than $400 billion in the last year is a proof of this vision.
“As India is moving rapidly towards a $5 trillion economy, our share in global trade will increase in the coming times. If the share will increase, a large part of it will inevitably be through maritime routes. In such a situation, INS Vikrant will prove to be crucial to safeguard our security and economic interests,” the Raksha Mantri said.
Speaking on the occasion, Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral R Hari Kumar voiced the Navy’s resolve for India@100 to become completely self-reliant until 2047, consisting of ‘Made in India’ ships, submarines, aircraft, unmanned vessels and systems and remain a ‘Combat Ready, Credible, Cohesive and Future-Proof Force’. He added that the Navy is determined to move forward on the path of five pledges – developed India, removing any sign of servility, pride in heritage, unity and fulfilling the duties – as envisioned by the Prime Minister.
The Chief of the Naval Staff exhorted the Commanding Officer and crew of INS Vikrant to take forward the proud legacy of erstwhile Vikrant which served the country for 36 glorious years and played a significant role in the 1971 war.

New Ensign of Navy
Resonant to the ongoing national endeavour to move away from colonial past, need was felt to transition to a new design that drew inspiration from our history. The White Ensign identified nation-wide with the Navy, now comprises of two main constituents – the National Flag in the upper left canton, and a Navy Blue – Gold octagon at the centre of the fly side (away from the staff). The Octagon is with twin golden octagonal borders encompassing the golden National Emblem (Lion Capital of Ashoka – underscribed with ‘Satyamev Jayate’ in blue Devnagri script) resting atop an anchor; and superimposed on a shield. Below the shield, within the octagon, in a golden bordered ribbon, on a Navy Blue background, is inscribed the motto of the Indian Navy ‘Sam No Varunah’ in golden Devnagriscript. The design encompassed within the octagon has been taken from the Indian Naval crest, wherein the fouled anchor, which is also associated with colonial legacy, has been replaced with a clear anchor underscoring the steadfastness of the Indian Navy.
Kerala Governor Shri Arif Mohammed Khan, Kerala Chief Minister Shri Pinarayi Vijayan, Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, National Security Advisor Shri Ajit Doval, Raksha Rajya Mantri Shri Ajay Bhatt and senior civil & military officials of Ministry of Defence and CSL were among those present on the occasion.
A new Indian Navy ensign was revealed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday at Cochin Shipyard Limited in Kochi during the commissioning of the nation’s first indigenously built aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant.
Nishaan was the brand-new naval pennant unveiled on Friday. The Indian Emblem was displayed at the intersection of the two red stripes on the previous Navy ensign, which also had the tricolour in the canton and horizontal and vertical red stripes.
The colonial era is where the Indian Navy got its start. According to material posted on a website for the Indian Navy, the naval force was renamed the Royal Indian Navy (RIN) on October 2, 1934, with its headquarters at Bombay (now Mumbai).
The Royal Indian Navy was split into the Royal Indian Navy and the Royal Pakistan Navy following the partition of India.
The term “Royal” was eliminated when India became a Republic on January 26, 1950, and it was renamed the Indian Navy.
Following Independence in 1947, the tricolour took the place of the Union Jack in the canton. The red horizontal and vertical stripes, which represent the Cross of Saint George and are reminiscent of colonial times, are likely to be removed from the new ensign’s design.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will present a new Naval Ensign (Nishaan) for the Indian Navy on Friday in Kochi during the commissioning of India’s first indigenous aircraft carrier, Vikrant.
According to a statement made by the Prime Minister’s Office, the new ensign would “eradicate the colonial history… befitting the rich maritime legacy of India.”
When India became a republic on January 26, 1950, the Navy Crest and flags were changed to show that India was now its own country. The Red St. George’s Cross was a part of the flag that was left over from the British. In the top left corner of the flag, the Union Jack was replaced by the Tricolor.
The Red St. George’s Cross was kept until August 15, 2001, when it was replaced with a Navy blue Indian Navy crest.
In 2004, the St. George’s Cross was brought back, but this time it had the Ashoka symbol in the middle. The Naval crest was taken off. Under the Ashok Emblem, the national motto “Satyameva Jayate” was added in 2014 at the direction of the Union Home Ministry.
The Navy’s current flag is the one that was chosen in 2014. The Ashoka symbol and the words “Satyameva Jayate” are on a white flag with red horizontal and vertical stripes that represent the Cross of Saint George. The tricolour is in the upper right corner.
BIG: On Sept 2, PM @NarendraModi to unveil the @IndianNavy’s new ensign, which will shed the red ‘Cross of St George’, a relic of India’s colonial past. Apart from a brief period between 2001-04, the colonial cross has been a fixture in the naval ensign. pic.twitter.com/jqLRdN7ehE
TATA Motors Defence Solutions, based in India, developed a brand new 4×4 light patrol vehicle called the LAMV (Light Armoured Multipurpose Vehicle) in collaboration with Supacat, based in the United Kingdom.
The public first had access to the LAMV at the 2014 Defexpo defence expo in India. The LAMV can be successfully operated thanks to its cutting-edge observation, monitoring, and communication systems.
Modern tactical technology will be equipped with the necessary operational set-up to manage engagements on any surface including urban warfare. The contemporary, modularly built 44 LAMV will have the “stretch potential” to accommodate required adjustments and preserve functional superiority throughout the course of its service life.
Its indigenization mostly accounts for its low life cycle cost. With the existing standard vehicular aggregates, all major subsystems are interchangeable.
Armament
At Defexpo, a 12.7mm machine gun-equipped open-top turret located on top of the crew compartment was installed on the 4×4 LAMV. Additionally, the roof has a single hatch. A full complement of weapon stations and smoke grenade launchers are available for the 4×4 LAMC. The turret includes a 360° manual azimuth movement and NIJ (National Institute of Justice Ratings for Body Armor) class III ballistic protection for the front and side of the shooter. This armour, which is typically hard or semi-rigid in structure, defends against 7.62mm full-metal jacketed bullets (designated M80 by the US military), which have nominal masses of 9.7 g (150 gr.) and hit at a speed of 838 m/s (2,750 ft/s) or less.
Along with Level I through IIIA threats, it also offers defence against 223 Remington (5.56mm FMJ), 30 Carbine FMJ, and 12-gauge rifled slugs. Level III body armour is obviously only meant to be used in tactical circumstances where the threat requires such defence, such as barricade encounters employing sporting rifles.
Design And Protection
With a 1.5 Ton payload, the 4×4 LAMV has an 8 Ton GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight). Six people, including the staff, can sit there (Commander and Driver). Better internal volume is made possible by the front engine, ergonomically designed dashboard, and equipment panel. The monocoque composite material pod and full length high hardness steel bottom V Hull for blast protection are integrated into the 4×4 LAMV to safeguard the crew. For easier usability, the POD is side-tillable. Due to its ballistic hull design, unique armour protection, and rapid mobility, it provides the greatest level of survivability in high threat scenarios. For different levels of protection, see Stanag II (a) and (b) for blast protection and Stanag II for ballistic protection.
Accessories
The driver and commander display units are provided for the crew in the pod, and there are provisions for integrating the electro optical system, radio, GPS, and driver assistance camera. These units are conveniently integrated on the dashboard. It has a cutting-edge ruggedized navigation unit with a GPS system and an Inertial positioning system in case the GPS is unavailable. The LAMV additionally has CCD cameras, Thermal Imagers, and Laser Range Finder devices with detection ranges of up to 10 km, recognition ranges of up to 6 km, and identification ranges of up to 3.5 km. Depending on the needs of the customer, the 4×4 LAMV can be fitted with an AFDSS (Automatic Fire Detection and Suppression System). At Defexpo 2014, a telescopic pole with surveillance systems mounted at the back of the 4×4 LAMV was installed.
