Hello guys, I am ROHAN SHARMA, from Alwar, Rajasthan, cleared NDA 148 in my first attempt now just to pass boards and join the academy…. My story towards recommendation was awesome although I always wanted to join the Indian Navy as I saw my father in the white uniform everyday but the real moment was that when I saw a speech of Admiral William Mcraven it could have been just a random video I watched as a 5^th grader on youtube but it was much more than that it motivated me to such an extent that now all I wanted to do was to become a part of the naval special operation forces, MARCOS as popularly known but this was not constant it changed from MARCOS to naval aviation then surface warfare and everything, that is what the best part about NAVY is you can choose anything.

Then coming to the next phase where I had to get things done and not just dream was moving from class 10^th to 11^th, I have always been a goal oriented person, I may have 100 bad qualities in me but this one good quality fills up everything it is setting up a goal and achieving it, so my preparation it began from class 11^th only.

I gave NDA 147 written exams just for a mock practice and cleared it too this was the time my confidence was high and I knew that NDA 148 will be a cakewalk only for the written exam part though. I got called up for my first ever ssb at NSB VIZAG but I could not go as was not eligible for it yet. Then time kept passing and I started looking for a good coaching institute for SSB, came across many but choose the best one. 4^th November came and it was time for yet another written exam I travelled to Jaipur and gave the exam it went well and cleared it easily. Then went for SSB coaching, if you don’t want to waste your first attempt go for coaching that will be best. After returning from coaching I had insights about my performance and also about how to go from now on, also the ssb dates were out and I got 33 SSB Bhopal and I choose the very first date that is 1^st march. Prepared everything and went to Bhopal.

Standing in front of the SCC BHOPAL gate I was excited to see people from all the different places gathering at a place to show their capabilities and achieve what they dreamt of 78 reported out of which we had service candidates then previously recommended candidates, and obviously screenouts conference out and freshers but we were just 8. Boarded the bus went to SSC and completed the document verification and all, had a decent breakfast and went to the testing hall for OIR, it was pretty easy did all the questions with 1 and 2 mins remaining in the respective tests. Then was the real thing the PP&DT, the picture was crystal clear and I formed a good story on it(good enough to help me get in). the narration was good and the group discussion was average, the results were declared after the lunch and I thought as I was chest number 75 our names will come at end but as soon as the GTO announced number 76, heart beat started accelerating but I did my best and I was sure to get through the first stage and so I did, 38 were screened in and 3 from my group of 8 freshers, and here is one more thing all 3 got recommended.

Then we had to go for documentation, filling PIQ forms and all the other stuff. Got the dorms allocated and rested finally, next day was our psych test, I was not excited nor tensed as had given 5 psych tests already, completed all the TATs, 55 SRTs and 59 WATs, SD was prepared and wrote it exactly that way. Psych test went well and played volleyball and table tennis in the evening it was fun. Next day was our GTO, we were taken to the 33SSB testing ground and it was like soo complex structures here and structures there, started with the group discussion which went superb, initiated both of them and was able to give ample points in both. GDs were followed by GPE, this is where the fun began, we were supposed to stop the bombing of a railway bridge so one of my fellow batchmates suggested lets go to the station and stop the train only, one of them thought that a purse forgotten is same as a purse lost, one of them said why the hell should we help the lady its her problem after all, I wanted to say I agree with you chest number… but its SSB after all, as the discussion ended me and my friend chest number 30 were laughing seeing how innocent our other friends were, then came the PGT and here the real thing happened, me 36 and 30 were leading the group and as we were about to solve the second obstacle third part we asked for the second rope(you get a plank, log and two ropes) they looked at up cluelessly and said what rope… that was the time I wanted to say something sweet to them and I almost did but just whispering and told them to bring the rope which was left behind the start line. The rope was brought and we completed the pgt, hgt was a cakewalk and so was lecturrate.

Day 4, starting with the individual obstacles, I did 8 of them, got a hard command task and the GTO changed the color of the obstacles often. I did it. It was followed by FGT which was again a cakewalk. Now came the real thing the interview my interview was the last one taken by the president of 33SSB and the trainee, both of them, although president did not ask many questions. Interview was good was able to recall all the CIQs and answer the typical questions as well I thanked my physics teacher who taught me fluid mechanics soo efficiently. After the interview I went back and slept. Woke up to have dinner talk to my friends and sleep again. The next day was the thing, the conference started in the opposite order and mine was a bit long as I entered the first question was, Rohan SSB is a test of personality don’t you think you taking coaching was not good as it may have changed the original you, I was well prepared for it and convinced them that what I did was absolutely right, I thought they were convinced and as a result after 3 hours or so announced my name. It went like number 13, 25, 36… this was it I rushed shouted my DOB, and went outside, 13 of us got recommended.

This was my experience, I would not say it was all easy but yes nothing was that difficult as I planned everything well, I would say just keep confidence over yourself if you think you can do it, that’s it nothing else matters, nothing! Lastly, I would thank all my friends, my best especially she was an important part of the journey, then my mentors at my SSB coaching, my maths teacher and all other teachers, and my FAMILY, MOM, DAD, and everyone. This was possible all because of your support and guidance.

THANK YOU

Hello everyone this is me Hemant Swamy the reason you are reading this today is because I recently got recommended for NDA 148 from 3 AFSB Gandhinagar. So the catch with my case is I have cleared all the stages of NDA in my first attempt 12th appearing, which is written in November, SSB in February, CPSS, and flying medical in March.

When I was in 11^th I was crystal clear is that I am only up for NDA as that was my interest and my dream to be a pilot in IAF. So now the goal was set now the question was how to get started, at that time I was in 11^th and I preferred not to give 11^th appearing NDA written attempt as it made no sense to me. Later the same year when I just entered 12^th I was fully set but the issue was I was not sure whether could I complete the maths portion before the exam.

And then I got the great news that the exams had been postponed from Sep to Nov and also there was lockdown-2. At its peak, this was a golden opportunity that I considered, and there came SSBCrackExam to my rescue. I took their NDA written exam plan and for one month straight, I just dived into their content and surprisingly I was able to complete the maths portion of maths in a single freaking month.

Then approached the exam I had at my center in Bangalore I went there and witnessed the maths portion was a standard one but I didn’t give up I gave it and I was able to make it. Later I prepared for SSB Interview on my own and was able to make it on my first attempt.

This was I was able to successfully able to make my dream come true and I would like to say each and every aspirant out there to believe in themselves and yes hard work is the key.

I hope everyone succeeds in their plans and all the BEST!!!    

Hello Everyone. This is Mohammad Hamid, recently I got recommended for the Indian Navy and Indian Army, these were my 4^th & 5^th attempts respectively. It was my childhood dream to join the armed forces, I saw my grandfather and see my father in that prestigious uniform and always wanted to make my parents proud by being an officer in the Indian Army. The kind of life and thrill that is there in it, is unparallel.

I have done my schooling at Army Public School Bhopal; I was always an active participant in sports and was average in academics. I took coaching classes for NDA and gave it twice but was not able to clear the exam. I felt bad at first, but I knew that I need to work on myself to make myself worthy of my dream. I searched for my future options and decided that I would do BTech as it’ll give me extra opportunities through direct entries like SSC Tech, TGC, UES, and NCC Special entry.

I joined a local college in my city & joined NCC in the very first year, I grabbed all the opportunities that I can and improved myself, I became an Under Officer in the 2^nd year (In NCC you’ll learn if you put your own efforts).

In the second year of my college, for my parents’ satisfaction, I gave Airmen X Group Exam, cleared all its stages & got the joining letter. Now I had two options in front of me, first to take that job, get a settled career without any further uncertainties, this was the option that my parents wanted me to choose, and the second option was to leave that offer and choose the path full of challenges & uncertainties, this was the option that my heart wanted me to take. I went with what my heart said and didn’t join as an airman because I was clear that I’ll never compromise with my dream.

During my 4^th year of college when the Covid phase began, I took an online subscription to prepare for CDS & AFCAT, I used to study for 10 to 12 hours a day for 4 to 5 months. My maths was not very strong, so I practiced a lot and studied history & polity in depth.

I got my first SSB for SSC Tech at Allahabad, I took guidance from a good academy in my locality and with confidence in myself, I went for the SSB. I got screened out of 300 reporting, I felt good and gave my best in those next 4 days. I was confident of my recommendation, I was eager to hear the result of my dream, the officer came and said that the batch is washed out, I could not believe it, I burst into tears, my friends came and consoled me.

I came back home, analyzed myself, identified the areas of improvement, and worked on them. I enhanced my knowledge of my personal things, my surroundings, my hobbies, and my writing skills. I got screened out in my 2nd attempt, I realized the importance of OIR in SSB. I prepared my OIR from SSBCRACK OIR Book, which helped me in getting screened in my next attempts.

But still during my initial NCC & SSC Tech SSBs came, I was neither getting success in SSBs nor in clearing CDS & AFCAT exams. I was disheartened, I started losing my self-confidence, and doubts started clouding my mind. For the first time, I started thinking of backup plans for my career. Just a few days before my 4^th SSB my confidence got low to such an extent that I even started thinking of going for Army Rally Bharti, I discussed it with my friend, Jadaun(who’s also a defense aspirant), he told me that, this is not what you’re made for & this is not the right time to think about it, I restored my confidence and I went for the SSB with full preparation and faith, keeping all the doubts aside.

I went for my Naval SSB at Kolkata, for Navy Tech entry for GSX Branch, and got screened in. Now, as I already had gone through the same process twice before, so I was feeling bored repeating the same things, I knew this would truncate my performance, so before every task I said to myself that this is the time and I did my best.

Then finally came the D Day- conference day. Just before the announcement of the results, I was getting the feeling that I would make it but since these same feeling came in last two conferences also, so my mind shooed away those feelings. The numbers were being announced and they called out Chest number 20. In that moment, my mind got numb, everything around me faded in that moment, I could feel just one thing, tears rolling down my cheeks, my voice trembling while calling out my name & roll no. I imagined myself in that prestigious uniform, that proud smile of my parents. This was the moment of my dream where all my hard work, my struggle, culminated in that result.

After getting fit from the medicals, I came back home, and my mother’s happiness was boundless. Just after three days, I had my next SSB for NCC Special Entry at Kapurthala, where also I got recommended and fit in medical. Now again I had to choose between the two Indian Army or the Indian Navy, on one hand, I had a comparatively more stable & balanced life, that others wanted me to opt for and on the other hand, I had a life full of new challenges and uncertainties, that my heart wanted me to opt.  And guess what, I am going with my heart, with my dream to become a PARA Commando in Indian Army.

PS: – A few tips for those who are currently in that phase that I have gone through:

1. Involve yourself in various activities, play team games, run, read, hang out, explore places, and explore people, this will eventually help in finding what you really are.
2. Wherever you’re in your life, just ask four things yourself & you’ll find everything sorted. They’re: WHAT, WHEN, WHY & HOW.

Finally, the lines said by an officer at SSB Kapurthala on our conference day: “We don’t want great scholars. We don’t want great athletes. What we want is a whole package.”

All the best & good luck to all the aspirants, do well & work upon your life, you will get through for sure.
