So my journey started on the 29th of October 2020 when I went for my first ssb in Bangalore for TES 44 entry, I knew nothing about PPDT and GD and gave a very poor performance over there which resulted in a screen out. I guess it is never good to start your SSB journey with a screen out. But improving my mistakes and with some practice, I went to my second SSB and I failed again getting conference out there too, and unfortunately the streak of failing to continue with a further conference out followed by a screen out. I have been lucky enough to get a call letter each time from an SSB at least 1700km from my hometown (I belong to Jamshedpur, Jharkhand). Initially, these failures made me feel bad but each time I failed it motivated me to try one more time. It was my last attempt for NDA when I got my call letter for SSB from AFSB Gandhinagar and I chose 19 Sept 2021 to be the fateful day. Once again I went with my head high and this time I had barely prepared anything besides my earlier notes and past 1-month current affairs from YouTube channel.

DAY 1(Screening Test)

231 candidates reported and 91 were screened in and somehow I managed to get in making my way through the fish market in GD and finally the result was declared after a funny incident, I was talking to a person standing next to me and was caught by DNCO Dubeyjee and he called me in front of 231 candidates and made me stand in front of everyone and seeing my red face everyone started giggling (I was too proud to make the atmosphere light, in such an intense situation).

DAY 1(Psychology Test)

In AFSB Gandhinagar psych test is conducted the same day of the screening test in the evening. I made stories suing some of my real-life incidents in TAT, attempted 57 WAT and 32 SRTs, and completed my SD in time

DAY 2 was a free day for our group

DAY 3 (Interview)

My interview lasted for about 40-45 minutes and I was asked questions related to my previous mistakes in SSBs, my strength, and weaknesses, about my hobbies, co curriculum-activities, and mostly about my friends and family. My IO was a very polite guy with a very broad smile on his face all the time in the interview. I calmly answered all his questions and at last, was asked a few technical questions related to IAF before he said all the best and asked me to leave.

DAY4 (GTO)

It started with GD and thanks to Prabhanshu Bhai and Gautam Bhai for letting chest no.86 speak (I was chest no. 86). Our GTO was too smooth and we completed all the tasks in the given time. Another funny incident happened in my command task when my GTO sir took all means to irritate me in the scorching heat of that afternoon of Gandhinagar, by telling me if I become an engineer the country will be unsafe and by my ideas made Newton and Einstein cry in heaven. Finally, I was able to give two solutions and our GTO ended with all of us in a jolly mood.

nda ssb interview

DAY5 (Conference)

The D-Day, me being in the last group of our batch was sitting since 9 AM morning waiting for my conference and finally it happened around 3 PM and as soon as I entered the conference hall my chair toppled and before I could fix it and make myself sit comfortably I was asked to leave within a minute. Soon the results were announced and 19 of us got recommended. I was the second last person out of those 19 and the moment they announced 86 tears of joy filled in my eyes. It was the happiest moment of my life and it still gives me goosebumps each time I remember it. We than went for form filling (an endless procedure) and again an funny incident happened we weren’t allowed to call at our home before filling all the forms, since I knew my family would be worried as didn’t call them in last 5 days so I told one of the JCO sir “Sir Please phone de do warna ghar wale galat samajh lenge” He passed a smile and gave his cell to me for calling at home.

I would like to thank SSBCrack for being a constant for the last 3 years from the time I was in my 12th std. Thank you for motivating me with your success stories articles and your course for the NDA written exam. I would like to give a special thanks to SSBCrackExams maths teachers Laxmi mam and Himani mam for clarifying my doubts. I would like to thank my friends, family, and teachers who had been a constant support system throughout this journey.

In the end, I would only say “JUST BELIEVE IN THE PROCESS RESULTS ARE JUST THE BY PRODUCTS”

Why Only 19 Seats For Girls At NDA – Supreme Court Asks Indian Army

0

The Supreme Court on Tuesday sought a response from the Centre regarding the intake of only 19 women candidates in the National Defence Academy (NDA) and other military-run schools and colleges for the year 2022. A Bench of Justice Sanjay Kaul and MM Sundresh issued notice to the Centre after it was informed that 19 women candidates would be admitted in NDA out of a total of 370 seats.

The apex court asked the Centre to make its stand clear on restricting the intake of women candidates in NDA to 19, the figure that is the same as last year. It asked the Central government to place the figures on record about the total number of candidates including women who have appeared in the NDA examination 2021, for entrance tests for Rashtriya Indian Military College (RIMC) and for Rashtriya Military School (RMS). Counsel appearing for petitioner Kush Kalra told the Bench that even for the 2021 examination, the intake of women candidates was limited to 19 for the Army, Navy and Airforce.

Though the Centre had undertaken before the top court to put in place the infrastructural requirements for women candidates by May 2022, it has limited the number of intake to 19 candidates for this year also, the apex court was told.

The Bench said, “The figure is the same as for the 2021 test. Last year, you said that it was due to infrastructure problems that the intake of women will be less. Now, again for the year 2022, you have proposed to take the same number of women candidates. Why have you fixed this figure? You have to explain this. 19 seats cannot be for all times to come. It was only an ad hoc measure.”

The Central government told the Bench that the intake of women candidates in NDA depends on the requirement of force and agreed to file a detailed affidavit within three weeks explaining its stand. The top court gave three weeks to the Centre to file an affidavit and asked the parties to file their rejoinder in two weeks thereafter and listed the matter for further hearing on March 6. Last year, the apex court had directed that female aspirants be allowed to appear in the NDA entrance examination.

The Indian Army celebrated its 74th Army Day today. Every year, 15 January is commemorated as “Army Day” to remember the occasion when General (later Field Marshal) KM Cariappa took over the command of the Indian Army from General Sir FRR Bucher, the last British Commander-in-Chief in 1949 and became the first Indian Commander-in-Chief of Independent India.

Also Read: 10 Ways To Join Indian Army In 2022

The Indian Army’s theme for the year 2022, “In Stride with the Future”, is an acknowledgement of the increasingly critical role played by niche and disruptive technologies in modern warfare. The Indian Army confronts a plethora of security challenges, conventional and non-traditional, and is looking at Artificial Intelligence (AI), 5G, Robotics and Quantum Technology to find innovative solutions to these emerging challenges.

The Army Day celebrations commenced with the Wreath Laying ceremony at the National War Memorial where the three Service Chiefs paid homage to the bravehearts. In his message to all ranks of the Indian Army, the Chief of the Army Staff, General MM Naravane saluted the supreme sacrifice of all personnel who laid down their lives in the line of duty, reiterating his unstinted support to the Veer Naris and Next of Kin of the fallen soldiers. He assured the Nation that the Indian Army was operationally ready to deal with any adverse situation.

The Chief of the Army Staff reviewed the Army Day Parade at the Cariappa Parade Ground, Delhi Cantonment and awarded 15 Sena Medals (including five posthumously) for individual acts of gallantry and 23 COAS Unit Citations to units for their commendable performance.

The Army Day Parade this year showcased the evolution of various weapon systems held in the Indian Army’s inventory. New and modern weapon systems and platforms were displayed alongside their old counterparts. Centurion tanks were followed by Arjun Main Battle Tanks and TOPAS was succeeded by the BMP-II. Similarly pairs of the 75/24 Indian Field Gun and Dhanush, PMP/PMS and Sarvatra bridges and Tiger Cat & Akash Surface to Air Missiles were also on display.

Why US Army Ranger Patch Donned By Indian Army

0

Jai Hind future warriors, in this blog we are going to discuss about the US Ranger badge worn by some officers of the Indian Army. Officers/Soldiers graduating from Ranger School are presented with the Ranger Tab, which is worn on the upper shoulder of the left sleeve of a military uniform.

What is Ranger School?

The United States Army Ranger School is a 62-day small unit tactics and leadership course that develops functional skills directly related to units whose mission is to engage the enemy in close combat and direct fire battles.

image 6

Ranger School is the Army’s toughest course and the premier small unit tactics and leadership school. For 62 days, Ranger students train to exhaustion, pushing the limits of their minds and bodies.

The course incorporates three phases (Benning, Mountain, and Swamp) which follow the crawl, walk, run training methodology.

  1. In Benning phase, conducted in and around Camp Rogers and Camp Darby at Fort Benning, Georgia, the students become trained on squad operations and focus on ambush and recon missions, patrol base operations, and planning before moving on to platoon operations.
  2. In Mountain phase conducted at Camp Merrill, in the remote mountains near Dahlonega, Georgia, students develop their skills at the platoon level in order to refine and
  3. Completion of training is in Swamp phase conducted in the coastal swamps at various locations near Camp Rudder, Eglin Air Force Base, Florida

 After these three phases, Ranger Students are proficient in leading squad and platoon dismounted operations around the clock in all climates and terrain. Rangers are better trained, more capable, more resilient, and better prepared to serve and lead Soldiers in their next duty

Ranger School is open to soldiers, Marines, sailors, and airmen in the U.S. Armed Forces, as well as select allied military students.

Now to get a gist of hard is the competition for Indian Armed Forces personnel to enter this course can be stated by a example from the 80s

oir test and ppdt

Gen VK Singh (Retd).

In late 1975, Gen VK Singh (Retd). was one of two officers selected to attend the United States Army Ranger School at Fort Benning, Georgia in the United States. The Ranger course is 62 days long and is aimed at small unit tactics and leadership.

image 7

During this course, he was assigned to Whisky company of the 75th Ranger Regiment.

He performed well in the physically-extracting course, which started with over 300 students and ended with only about 90 graduating.

He was graded an honours graduate since he had graded more than 80%.

Since he was a graduate of the Ranger School, he was permitted to wear the coveted Ranger tab on his uniform.

The new uniform of the Indian Army was unveiled at the parade ground on the occasion of the Army Day Parade. Indians celebrate January 15 as Army Day as it was this day in 1949 when late Field Marshal Kodandera Madappa Cariappa took over as the first commander-in-chief of the Indian Army from British General Francis Butcher in 1949.

The new uniform has been designed by a team of eight students and professors from National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT). The specifications were provided by the Indian Army.

The army had been planning to change the pattern as well as the material used in the uniform. This was done to make it easy and comfortable to be worn by men and women in the Army.

The new uniform is of digital pattern like the troopers of the US Army use. Also, one of the key features of the uniform is that the soldiers will not have to tuck in the dress. In the new uniform, the belt will be under the dress.
