Recommended For NDA From 14 SSB Allahabad In My 1st Attempt

nda storyu

Hello, friends, I am Adarsh Kumar Amar and I live in Secunderabad I am currently studying in 12th in Army Public School Bolarum and would be giving my boards in march. I got recommended from 14 SSB Allahabad on 31st Jan 2020 in my first attempt for NDA 144 course(army). And I was declared medically fit by CO MH Allahabad on 08 Feb 2020I would like to share my journey with all defence aspirants and I hope it will inspire many of the people to succeed and give their best in their next SSB. I was preparing for jee from 11th class and in Aug 2019 I decided to start preparing for NDA exam. I come from an army background and joining the armed forces had always been my dream. From adventure, uniform, weapons to camaraderie, helpfulness and sports I love everything about the army, so choosing Army as a career option was pretty obvious.

ssb ebook

My performance in written exam was fairly good and I was expecting 450+ Marks. In December the results for written exams were declared and I got through. I took a great risk by leaving the jee and board preparation from September and it had its bad effects I failed in most of my preboards and in Jan JEE exam I got just 86 percentile, although I was dejected I believed I would clear the SSB definitely. I removed every self doubt and started believing i will do it and this made me confident. Now coming to my main SSB experience..Our reporting was on 26th Jan 2020 at 1pm, total 100 students reported and after documentation we were divided into 2 batches 14 SSB had 50 candidates and same with 34 SSB.

NDA

I was in 14 SSB, in the documentation  3 candidates were returned because they didn’t carry the proper documents, I advise all of you to please carry the documents mentioned in the call letter, later we were alloted rooms and I made a few friends on the 1st dayThe next day was screening and in the morning I fell sick, I had severe headache and cold but I took medicine and went for the screening, we were given some instructions and later we were given  OIR booklets having 50 questions, first we were given 25 mins to solve the questions and the answer slip was collected, later we were again given the 2nd booklet having the same no of questions but time was 30 mins. I attempted 97 out of 100 and the difficulty level was very low.

oir test and ppdt

Next test was PPDT(picture perception and discussion/description test), we were shown a very clear picture and I made a story on a defence aspirant, we were given just 3 minutes and I couldn’t complete my story fully. Then we were divided into 3 groups 2 were of freshers and one of the repeaters, in narration I was very confident and clear and completely narrated the full story. The results were announced by 2 PM and 27 out of 47 got screened in. I got a new chest no – 12The next day was psych test and I tried to be genuine and put the qualities that are present in me in my protagonist in TAT in WAT every response was spontaneous but you should practice WAT before going to ssb because time is very less, I could only do 45 SRT‘s because my speed was slow, try to write main ideas in SRT instead of writing full sentences, army needs leaders who are spontaneous and not writers or authors. After psych test 8 people were called randomly for interview. The rest were free for the day so we decided to go to Azad Park and museum, we enjoyed a lot and came back in the evening. 
On the 3rd day we had GTO day 1, on the first day we had Group discussion (GD), then we had GPE(group planning exercise).I lead the group and combined ideas to come to a common conclusion in GPE and nominated my friend to give a common solution.

ssbinterviewbook

In GD we gave chances to everyone to give their ideas, then we had lecturette, I spoke on child labour, the last exercise was Progress Group Task(PGT)There were 3 repeaters in our group so they were not letting anyone give ideas, I told them to cooperate with the group and incorporate everyone’s idea if we are stuck somewhere, they listened to me and started helping and listening to us and we did 3 out of 4 obstacles. In PGT, initially in the first 2 tasks I couldn’t give a single idea and I was afraid that I would not get recommended but I calmed myself and gave ideas in 3rd obstacle. Later another 10 people were called for interview. The next day was GTO day 2, the first task was individual obstacles(IO), we were told by our GTO sir to shout the name of our favourite actress in commando walk ; )I did 13 IO but people with 7 or 8 were also recommended In GOR(group obstacle race ) our war cry was “yeh dil mange more”I helped people in my group to pass through first and myself crossed in the last, but we lost the GOR :(The next task was HGT(Half Group Task) our group of 9 was divided into 2 groups of 5 and 4 people respectively, we all gave ideas in HGT and completed the task then there was Command Task(CT), I was given a difficult CT but I did it after some time then sir said me to change the approach and try another way then sir removed a structure but still I was able to do it.

spot_img

Then finally in Final Group Task we completed the task easily then the remaining people were called for interview and my interview happened that day. I was confident and was well versed with current affairs, my strengths, weaknesses etc. I was asked a lot of defence-related questions, about my father’s postings, about arms and services, about my preferred regiment, about airforce aircraft (although my choice was army,I was extensively asked about airforce and I will tell you the reason later), about artillery etc. I was asked about PVC recipients before 1999 war. I didn’t knew about most of the airforce aircraft because I had prepared for the army extensively but didn’t expect him to throw those questions. He asked a lot of philosophical questions like my thoughts on why some people succeed while others fail why some are highly motivated and what was my philosophy of life. I was also asked the dimensions of the room, my speed while jogging I wasn’t asked a single question about G.K. or current affairs(I was surprised) But the type of questions vary from person to person , My friend was asked a lot of current affairs questions. I would rate my interview 8.5/10.Now the next day was D Day, Conference day Day 5 – conference Everyone was in their best formal dress.shoes shined hair combed.dress cleaned.everything checked.

The conference started at 8 am One by one we all were called in the conference hall Before my conference started the discussion happened for 5 mins My chest no. Flashed on the screen ,I entered the room 8 officers sitting, the board president and deputy president in the middle They asked me to sit on the chair and started by asking meaning of my name, then they asked me 2 SRT’s, the first one was what will you do if your friends don’t talk to you, the second one was what will you do if one of your car’s tyres gets flat, I answered them Then he asked me about my alternative career path told them I would join IIT kgp and do B Tech. Computer science, then they asked me about types of entries by which I can join army then my conference was over. After everyone’s conference was over by 1 :30 We were sitting in a room and waited for 25 mins. An officer came with the results and ,my heart started beating very fast.

NDA

He gave a small pep talk and announced the chest no’s of successful candidates 4,8,11 and then 12 and everything stopped for a moment for me, it was the best moment of my life, the feeling can’t be explained in words.then chest no. 24 was also announced, total 5 people were recommended in which 3 were freshers and 2 were repeaters who were already recommended in NDA 142 but were medically out. Then we were given 10 mins time to make a call, I called papa and told him I got recommended, later we were taken to fill the form and we completed documentation by 7 PM A wave of messages flooded the inbox, my family was happy so I was happy too. The medicals started from 1 Feb and took 8 days (Sunday is holiday in MH for SSB candidates) The medical conference happened on 8th Feb and out of 5, 2 (including me) were declared fit3 got TR (temporary rejection) and I hope they would clear the TR and join the academy with us. SSB is a test of Mansa, Vacha, Karma.U must have congruency in character to succeed not just in SSB but also in life, no one likes a person who says something else and does something else.

The difficulty level was much higher than AFCAT. Moreover, the syllabus of this test was also more than AFCAT. There are a few additional topics in maths like trigonometry, mensuration and geometry. Coming to the Verbal Ability section there were more questions on direct and indirect speech, active and passive voice. The rest of the paper is more or less the same as AFCAT. However, the marking scheme and cut off for INET is a bit different. For every correct answer 4 marks are awarded and for every wrong answer 1 mark is deducted. The paper consists of 100 questions and each section contains 25 questions. There is a sectional cutoff which requires a minimum of 40% score in each of the four sections. Along with that there’s an overall cutoff of 50%. My exam went good and the procedure before the exam was also pretty smooth. The admit card is retained my the center unlike AFCAT.

INET-SSB-Interview

Hello friends, I am Param Wankhede from Mumbai. Currently in final year of engineering. Right from my school days, I had this only dream of joining the Indian Navy. I have a defence background as my dad works in Naval Dockyard, Mumbai. Seeing the warships and officers in dockyard always inspired and awe and I used to imagine myself wearing the uniform one day. I’ve been an average student throughout my academic career with a keen interest in sports. Represented Mumbai at the district level in badminton. I have a liking for sports and trekking, and ever ready to break a sweat.

refada

For INET exam I had practised a lot and had solved 5-6 AFCAT question papers. Cleared the INET exam and got a call-up letter from Naval Selection Board Visakhapatnam, which also happened to be my first ever SSB interview. For SSB, I had a planned approach. Consulted one of my senior from college who had cleared SSB. I read MAP (My Appointment with a Psychologist), which helped me understand what exactly is required at SSB and what they are looking for. I recommend everyone to read MAP before attending SSB. I used to practice TAT, WAT, SRTs daily. I even practised OIR tests, which generally candidates ignore. SSB is a test of personality and for that one should know himself in and out. You should know your strengths and weakness, your achievements in life till now, your hobbies and interests. You should know about your friends, best friends, parents, teachers, your academic career and everything about your life from A to Z. I evaluated my strengths and weakness and even asked my friends and parents to tell me the same.

oir test and ppdt

I had to report at MCO Vizag on 11th Dec at 0600hrs. There were a total of 90 candidates who reported at MCO. We sat in a bus and were taken to NSB. I remember one guy asking me “First attempt hai kya?”. To which I replied, “Ha pheli baar SSB de rha hu”. Then he said “Ha voh toh lag hi rha hai.. Chotasa cute sa ladka dikh rha hai tu..”

DAY 1: After completing basic documentation we started with the OIR test and PPDT. OIR test went great and so did PPDT. After I wrote my story I was revising it continuously. When we went in the discussion room, I confidently narrated my story within 1 minute and participated well in GD. I was pretty confident that I will clear stage I. 
I got screened in along with 23 other candidates. And luckily, I got chest no. 23 which happens to be my birth date. We then had to deposit our mobile phones.

DAY 2: After a sleepless night, I woke up at 0430hrs. Done with breakfast at 0630hrs and ready for psychological tests. During TAT, I thought to myself that am I writing short stories? Because I completed stories well in time and saw others still writing. WAT and SRT were superb. Completed 59/60 SRTs. SD I had prepared already, so that went smooth.

DAY 3: GTO tasks. We were able to perform well as a team. No one dominating and no one being submissive.

Had my interview on the same day. Was nervous before the interview but the demeanour of the Interviewing Officer had a calming effect. I remember he had a smile throughout the interview. The interview went smooth. It lasted for 40-45 minutes. I was stuck at some technical questions which isn’t my forte, but rest I answered well. 
​There are two fundamental things to remember for the interview, first, to know yourself inside and out, second, honesty. Never bluff before the officer. They will easily catch you if you are bluffing. Honesty and Integrity are the core values of armed forces and there is no compromise on that.

ssb ebook

DAY 4:  Individual Obstacle – I was confident that I will perform well. Completed 9/10 tasks.

Lecturette – It is important to stand and talk confidently in front of your group. My topic was education, but I might have spoken on it just for 45 seconds, then I drifted away to Make in India and unemployment. But whatever I spoke, I spoke with confidence.

Command Task- My performance was pathetic. I was completely clueless as what has to be done. I was not coming up with any ideas. My subordinates staring at me. GTO asking “What happened commander?” “Analyze the structure properly commander!” I was in total pressure. I remember telling myself “Khatam kar ye jaldi! Just get out of here!” Somehow I completed it. The only plus point was that out of 6, 5 candidates had called me as their subordinates. But I was completely dejected after CT.
 
DAY 5: Conference day. I went into the room, greeted the president. The conference went smooth, they asked me about my stay and how would I rate my performance and any suggestions to improve the place.

After a few hours, we were finally given our mobile phones and it was time for results. The officer talked about OLQ’s and told us not to get demotivated if we aren’t selected. He walked towards the podium, looked in his paper. There was dead silence for a few seconds. My heartbeats started escalating. Everyone eagerly looking at the officer. The officer said “Chest No. 23!” and I stood up, he gestured me to move out of the room and that was it. The moment you have worked hard for, the moment you feel you have achieved something huge and when you can finally say “Yes, I have it in me!” But I was emotionally numb for a couple of minutes. It took me time to digest the feeling, after a few minutes I got that sense of achievement.

ssbinterviewbook

My medicals were done at INHS Kalyani. I was given TR due to underweight. Came back to Mumbai and gained 8kgs and reported at INHS Asvini. Completed my medicals on 27th Jan 2020. Now waiting for the merit list.

It was a wonderful experience for me. It took me 5 days and 1400kms away from home to find my mental and physical limits. Got to learn a lot of things. The atmosphere in NSB is very strict and disciplined. Everyone would be yelling at you. I got a trailer as to how life in Naval Academy would be. Met a lot of new friends and enjoyed my time in NSB. We used to have fun after dinner, played table tennis and badminton, we chit-chatted about everything right from politics to ghosts. The brotherhood and friendship that develops within those 5 days is very unique and very close to my heart. I also made a few friends from the next batch that came to NSB.

spot_img

I owe this to my parents, friends and my Jiju. My parents always had my back and never gave up on me even when I failed to clear NDA exam thrice. Friends play an imperative role in personality development and I was lucky to have a good friends circle in school as well as college. My jiju constantly guided me and his help was indispensable.

Finally, I would like to thank SSBCrack for providing me a platform to share my experience and I wish every one of you all the best for your SSB. Enjoy your stay there. Make friends, have fun. Jai Hind!
