Hello, young minds. I am Sunny Vyas from Ahmedabad, recommended for all three Army (IMA-148), Navy (SSC navy pilot) and Airforce (Flying- Jan 2020) but unfortunately, was medical out. Fighter flying has always been one of my dreams and dreams certainly help you work harder and makes you better. Such qualities would surely fetch success and for success, we definitely require some resources. SSBCrackhas been one of those supporting and improving pillars, especially for ‘last-minute preparation’.
Talking about the overall experience, I was pretty much confident with my all 3 recommendations. For me, screening has been easy in almost all attempts. I have been a good contributor in PPDT. Psychology also went at a smoother pace. In SRT, I tried to clear the whole picture with proper details and managed to complete just 32-38 SRTs. TAT and WAT were based on my everyday experiences and not so heroic. SD was prepared earlier and analyzed with actual thoughts. During the interview, do not dishearten yourself if you fail to give any answer. A smile too works better if it can come naturally!! Rest all is on your confidence and thus I could manage interview well without faking it. My responses were satisfactory to the interviewer. Most of the time was occupied by questions on my friends, parents, my current job, relationship, future goals and myself.
GT focuses on your individuality in the team you are in, along with your capability of organizing OLQs not only of yourself but also of your group. I could regulate and contribute effectively to all GT exercises. Fitness was an add on for me in physical activities. Lecturette topics were chosen based on my capability of delivering information on the selected topic. In conference, calm and smart replies according to your psychology would work better I suggest. I have been asked questions on previous SSB learnings, localities near SSB centre, factual details, introspecting the current SSB performance and of course, “How was your stay?”. All conferences lasted for just a couple of minutes.
SSBCrack website, as well as guide-book, are helpful to explore such mindsets up to a certain extent. Other resources were also helpful. I have seen 2,3,4 AFSBs, 12 SSB-Bangalore, 20,21 SSB-Bhopal.
Very warm and sincere greetings to all the defence aspirant here. I am HARSH SHEORAN and I got recommended for NDA-142 and TES-42. Well before starting the story let me tell you about myself, I Belong to Bhiwani, Haryana and presently pursuing BA from Kirorimal college, DU. So for me to join armed forces was very natural as my family legacy. My father is retired as a JCO from Corps of engineer and my brother is going to pass out from NDA this December So whatever I am writing is based on the experience of two recommendations I have got, my brother and friends who got recommended with me and the success stories that I have read on SSBCRACK and most important ,that I have learned in GEORGIANS ACADEMY DELHI
Now until I got recommended, I used to read a lot of stories on SSBCrack, now I got recommended, I felt this it as a responsibility to write a story to continue the cycle.
Now the ssb procedure is divided into 5
days and 4 techniques
Usually not very tough, one with normal IQ can easily do
STORY COMPREHEND
A picture is shown to us and we have to write a story around it, after that it is followed by narration and discussion. In my opinion, there are only 2 ways to write a story. The same approach will be there for writing TAT stories in PSYCHOLOGY.
Try to relate with you, your hobbies, your PIQ….. for e.g
→if studying scene … can relate with a quiz if u have done
→if outdoor
hiking…the trip∕ tour you have made in school or college
Go with authority
It is not possible to write every story around u, so the remaining stories can be handled by
introducing authority and solving a problem ..for e.g
→ IAS officer on solving agriculture crisis …. If field scene.. farmers, solving theft and robbery cases, promoting clean India programme etc
→ ARMY officer,
Medical officer etc as per the picture
The best part about authority stories is you can prepare them beforehand .
The main concept behind writing stories is that after reading 12 stories of TAT the psychologist must know everything about you ( when u relate stories with PIQ) and how better you can plan and organise.
Now some
points
Do not write character name as Ram/Shyam instead of it write the name of your friends.
Observe the picture fully …….if it is KUTUB MINAR do not write EIFFEL TOWER i.e no preoccupied thoughts
Show the working part more i.e planning and organization.
Have some stories prepared beforehand …authorities and related to your PIQ.
NARRATION
Revise it again and again .. u will get enough time before the narration
Speak confidentially, loud and slow
Have a smile
Neatly dressed
GROUP DISCUSSION
If it is going to be fish
market then you have two choices
→raise a voice, shout to control and direct the group, appreciate the stories of others by calling the chest number,
As you do this you will automatically get the
support of them
→put your points calmly try your best and if still there is no coordination then it’s better to sit calm and composed
Its all about screening
INTERVIEW
The interview is one of the easiest technique of SSB. It’s one to one conversation with officer usually with a rank of Colonel. If you prepare it well you can tackle it easily.
In both my recommendations my interview was of 15-20
minutes (I don’t know why…but good for me)
Now must things for interview
→Be as neatly dressed as you can, your dressing style should speak for you
→whatever be the
situation always have a smile on face
Now I am writing the possible question that
can be asked by breaking the PIQ
1.Meaning of your name ,justify it
2. Train details of which you can coming like train number states it passed, what you did during your journey, total distance and avg speed
*if you going by flight be ready for
Bernoulli Theorem
3.The good and bad things about three places i.e your permanent address, present address, and the place where you have lived the most and the comparison between them
4. Strength and weakness of each of the
family member and incident to prove them
5. if I met with your
mother/father/brother/sister/best friend what he will tell about you to me
6. Now some related to your education
<Tell me the percentage from 8th
to 12th> < the exams u have appeared> <best and worst subject/teacher
with reason > <if you scored less than why ><unit
conversions><if u have changed your school/stream than why>
7.best
and worst day/friend with reason
8. One thing u want to improve in your best friend and one thing your best friend wants to improve in you
9 Analyze your psychology test …..IO sees
that and can ask question …..sometime
you realize that why he asked me that question ….the origin of such question is
from your psychology dozier
10 Daily routine on normal days and how it is different from Sunday
11 how u organize your pocket money
12 Information about your father’s profession, his earnings
13 Every minute detail about your sports, hobbies, and CCA activities that u have mentioned in PIQ
14 Why u want to join ARMY/NAVY/AIRFORCE …..Recent deals of armed forces, organization of armed forces, ranks, structure etc
15
Tell me about 5 international
/national/sports news …. Its always good if u remain in touch of
newspaper
16 Why u did not get recommended in last
attempt, how you prepared this time, what will u do if you did not get
recommended this time too
17 Some technical questions ….hydrodynamics
and hydrofluids…. Bernouli theormand its application ,pascals law, archemedies
principal , concept of torque , how fan rotates ,how boat and works
18 How will you organize any sport ot CCA
event
IF YOU PREPARE ALL THESE questions, CHEERS 95 % OF INTERVIEW IS OUT
The interview is all about how good you know about yourself, how you observe things and how u make an opinion about them.
If u thinks that u have not done so well in academics, sports, CCA, and in responsibilities than best thing one can do is to START WITH TRUTH AND AND UP WITH LIE. It’s deep trying to understand
The most important thing in SSB is psychology. If you get an edge OVER it half of the battle is won to improve psych
improve urself in daily life. There are four techniques in psych
In this test, you have to write a sentence on 60 words. Things to keep in mind are ….go with the feelings, you do not need to include the word in a sentence, practice some set before SSB
In this test, one has to write a response to 60 situations ….things to keep in mind
Quality > quantity. If u have done anything above 30 its fair enough, provided u have written a quality response
Read the situation calmly and complete …do not try to rush
For the best solution try to put urself in the same situation in reality and how you would have reacted
Do not skip and SRT
4 SELF DESCRIPTION
In this test, we have described ourselves as the name suggest. We have to write five paragraphs under heading…what is the opinion your parents /teachers/friends/yourself about you and what kind of person you want to be like
GTO
This is the test in which you can do extremely well if u coordinate well with the group. A little knowledge and true gentlemen behaviour will sail you through it.
FOR GD
Read the newspaper and u will have enough points to speak about
Be calm, composed and complete relax… don’t show that you are desperate for speaking
Listen to others genuinely
Do not cut others point
Do not get in one to one argument
There comes a time for 3to4 seconds when the whole group quite, grab that opportunity and put your point
For GPE
Understand the structure well
First discuss the problems according to priority wise, then discuss resources and then solution part
Listen to point of all
Raise your voice if u thinks it is going to be a fish market and provide direction to the group.
In this activity, we have to choose a topic over 4 and speak for 3 minutes. It’s good if topics come of your interest otherwise pick a normal topic and organize it well. try to connect it with normal day to day life and connect it with the latest happenings. The main thing they check is your confidence and how well u organize it with limited knowledge. Stand confident, make eye contact, speak loud and slow and have pitch variation.
NOW FOR REMAINING ACTIVITIES OF GTO, IT’S A GAME, the more u enjoy the more you are going to get. One can not do all the things in PGT, HGT, FGT, SNAKE RACE. So understand ur group, appreciate others and coordinate as much as you can.
Candidates can download the NDA 2 2019 Maths answers keys here, the answers are marked by SSBCrack team on the PDF. NDA 2 2019 paper for Mathematics was a perfect blend of difficult and easy questions simultaneously, thus maintaining the paper difficulty level as “Average”. As usual pattern of this paper, Algebra consisted of 40 questions, Analytical geometry consisted of 12 questions, Statistics and Probability consisted of 20 questions, approximately. Statistics required the conceptual knowledge more this time. Trigonometry, however consisted of 15 questions with a few questions based on ‘periodicity’ as well, which is a bit different from the trends followed in previous years. Commenting on Matrices and Determinants, the weightage was lower than expected, consisting of just 5 questions. Though Vector Algebra was also consisting just a few questions, but the questions require thorough knowledge on concepts of vectors as well as 3-D and 2-D figures together. Integral calculus and Differential Calculus followed approximately 20 questions together, but the pattern was a bit different from previous years. Perhaps, applications of derivatives maintained its importance.
So, basically the students who have prepared well for Algebra, Trigonometry, Differential Calculus and Integral Calculus were in advantage. However, to attempt Matrices and Determinants, Statistics and Probability and Vectors, one should have been conceptually strong. In particular, after analyzing this paper, we can conclude that NDA is expecting more knowledge of ‘Functions’ from students, as most of the questions were based on functions in some or the other ways. This is a very good sign toward the future of Mathematics as this will improve the thinking ability of a student. Also, the topics from Algebra such as Arithmetic Progression and Geometric Progression, Permutation and Combinations, Quadratic equations holds an important place in this examination.

Hello everyone, I am Gurleen Singh and I have been recommended from 1 AFSB Dehradun through AFCAT entry and my AFCAT score was 225. This was my 8th attempt and in previous attempts, I have been 5 times screenout and this was my 3rd conference. I belong to district Yamunanagar state Haryana. SCREENING DAY– 218 candidates reported on screening day and 69 got screened in. For screening, I would suggest you prepare for OIR test beforehand and for TAT try to make a story in which your main character shows some action. For example, in my story, I showed how my main character organised an annual culture event. Also, try to relate your story to some of your past events or something which a normal person can do. For GD try to give 2-3 valid points and don’t enforce your story on your group. If your story is selected then it is well and good, otherwise, always go with a group.
PSYCHOLOGICAL TEST:– In Dehradun Psych test starts the same day. So after document verification got over by 3 pm, we were called for psych test at 4:30 pm. Basically in TAT stories I always use to write stories that were related to my past life events which showed my OLQs. Some pictures may be shown to you in which you may not be able to relate it to past events, in that picture I showed helping nature of my main character. In the blank story, I wrote one of my trips to Triund with my friends and showed how I organized the event and how we enjoyed as a group. In WAT all my words formation were related to my relations with parents, friends, my seniors, my juniors, qualities of a leader and successful person. In SRT just give your natural response with a full explanation and they will repeat the same situation 2 -3 times, make it sure you write the same response. For Psych test I would recommend you to go through SSBCrack book , you will get a better idea of all the tests.
INTERVIEW: For the interview, I would recommend you to focus more on PIQ. Interviewing Officer is always interested in your studies, co-curricular activities, your relations with friends, Teachers, Parents and your elder brother. Note down all the relevant information and try to include examples. For ex: I was asked by the interviewer to give an example of how I helped my father, mother and friends. He will also count on your answers; so be ready for it. Don’t speak any lie to the officer he will easily catch you by cross-questioning. Also, go through current affairs and Arab countries relations. If you answer these questions it will create a good impact on the Officer. In my interview, I was asked around 10 GK and Science question and I answered 6-7 of them.
GTO:– For GD Try to actively participate in it. Give relevant points and also listen to the group also. In GPE everyone tries to enforce his ideas so listen to them and also give your points relevantly and always try to go with group conclusion. For PGT and HGT, the most important thing is to give ideas and to cooperate with the group. In my case, I alone gave the ideas to solve 3 and 4 structure in PGT and with the help of group members, we completed it in 45 minutes. In Lecturette officer wants to see your confidence while speaking and how you represent your ideas to the group. In command, the task is ready for different situations the officer is going to give you if you have a grasp on PGT tasks you can easily clear the command task. Individual task and FGT are remaining tasks which is very easy to perform individually and with group respectively.
CONFERENCE:– Be nicely dressed up and try to remain calm. In my case officers discussed for around 15-20 minutes before calling me and in conference they asked only simple questions related to life, no SRT or other things were asked. After conference results were given and 3 were recommended out of 69 candidates.
