Top 10 Reasons You Are Getting Conference Out at SSB Interview

By

Warm regards to all the fervid readers of our website. To solve any kind of problem in life, we need to first know the causes of that problem. The same thing goes with the SSB interview. Unless we know the causes of our debacle, we won’t be able to rectify them. In this article, we are going to enlist 10 common reasons why candidates get conferenced out at SSB.

spot_img

Many candidates take the conference lightly and hamper their chances, many candidates who have just made it might lose it during their conference round, let’s discuss how one can improve their performance during ssb interview conference.

Top 10 Reasons You Are Getting Conferenced Out

  1. SELF-CENTRED ATTITUDE DURING GROUP TASKS: – I simply do not understand why candidates try to project themselves as very extraordinary chap during group tasks. You don’t have to stand out in the group rather you are required to work as a very normal and determined team member.
  2. LACK OF ZEAL TO PERFORM: – If you just perfunctorily finish all the tasks of the SSB interview, the results too would be demoralizing. Your enthusiasm, confidence, and courage should be visible in your body language. You are there to steal the thunder, and grab a place in the armed forces.
  3. NEGATIVE ATTITUDE: – Being too much apprehensive, and judgmental about the things at the SSB. When you want to complain, the points are plenty but these things will only lead you to oblivion.
  4. POOR QUALITY RESPONSES/PRE-LEARNT IDEAS AT PSYCH TESTS: – You need to understand that one size doesn’t fit all. Similarly, one good response cannot fit the personality of all the candidates. Also, the quality of the responses must take precedence over the quantity.
  5. NOT CONSTRUING THE TESTING APPROACH: – The three-pronged approach ensures that the candidate is thoroughly scrutinized. One aspect of your personality is being checked in three different ways. Unless you develop the personality required, you will not see propitious results.
  6. OVER CONFIDENCE: – No doubt you might be a national-level sports champion or an outstanding public speaker but this doesn’t mean that you do not need any extra preparation for the SSB interview. Many candidates falter only due to their overconfidence.
  7. POOR QUALITY OF EXPRESSION: – You ought to be really open about yourself in the SSB interview. Unless you write your responses unabashedly unless you open up with the Interviewing Officer/GTO how would you be able to convince them to recommend you?
  8. POOR GENERAL KNOWLEDGE/AWARENESS: – Giving excuses will not solve the problem. An officer in the armed forces is ought to know what is happening in and around his country.
  9. LETTING NERVOUSNESS TAKE CONTROL: – No doubt this is the watershed moment you were waiting for but it is important to not let your heartbeat, that droplet of sweat thwart your performance. Adequate preparation is the best way to get rid of anxiety and pressure.
  10. HAVING INAPPROPRIATE BODY LANGUAGE: – The way you carry yourself, speak, walk, and every single mannerism and gesture says a lot about you. The assessors are very astute to catch these minute details of your personality. I suggest candidates who just want to give SSB for the sake of it to avoid squandering their precious time and money on it.

This was all about common reasons for getting conferenced out at the SSB. I hope you all have enjoyed this article. Your suggestions and views are important to us. Keep Preparing Hard. JAI HIND!!!

12 Ways To Stay Calm In SSB Personal Interviews

Selection of candidates for various appointments purely on the basis of written tests is a thing of the past now. Whether it is selection for a job, training, or admission to a professional course in college, there is definitely an interview or personality test.

A candidate who aspires to a successful career, an individual who wishes to have a bright future, or a competitor who is determined to top the list, must master the technique of performing the best in the interview.

The interview is an effective evaluation and comprehensive study of a candidate which cannot be inferred from the examination system alone.

Lecturette Topics eBook SSBCrack

It is a face-to-face interpersonal appraisal in which the interviewer asks a set of questions to the candidate, in order to assess the capability and suitability of the candidature for the job.

The aim of an interview at the SSB is to get an insight into the candidate’s personality and assess the ‘Officer like Qualities’ by means of a direct and subjective conversation between the Interviewing Officer (IO) and the candidate. This test intends to judge the mental caliber of a candidate by a competent unbiased observer.

Now once you are in the interview room, the IO may offer a handshake and ask you to be seated in the hot seat! Your palms may be sweaty; voice shaky; face flushed and mouth parched. Your heart is racing and stomach is tossing.

spot_img

Phew, you are nervous! When you sense that you are in a high stakes situation, the brain doesn’t distinguish the high stakes of an interview, where it should help to be calm, composed and collected from the risks of being under threat from an attack (like a tiger). Your body responds the same way-gearing up to run and save your lives. So in order to perform well in the SSB interview, you need to Free yourself from the Anxiety of being in an interview.

Staying cool and calm during the interview projects an air of confidence that is appealing in a candidate. Let’s discuss ways to stay calm during an SSB interview.

  1. Be Prepared.
    The biggest piece of advice to any candidate appearing for an interview is, do your research.  Know about the type of questions that will be hurled up at you. When you have prepared well, you can talk well, interestingly and forcefully during an interview. It majorly depends on how you say or represent it rather than how much you say it. The more you know, the more confident you will be in responding to the questions. Be prepared in every way!
  2. Plan.
    Being prepared also means to plan whatever you can, ahead of time. The fewer details you have to worry about the day of the interview, the better. Don’t wait until the last minute!
  3. Rehearse.
    Don’t memorise the exact answers to the probable questions but do have an outline of what you are going to speak or talk about to convey your desirable message. Anxiety gives you space to be under prepared as it stores unpleasant thoughts about the interview and gives you a reason to be nervous. Practice makes prepared!
  4. Eliminate the fear of unknown.
    There could be many things that may make you nervous, give goosebumps and cause you stress before the interview. So as much as it is possible, try eliminating them. Keep all pre-requisite information, from the kind of dress you have to wear at the interview to retaining what you had written in the PIQ form. Just be sure!
  5. Relax while waiting outside.
    While you are seated outside waiting for your turn, allow yourself plenty of time to gather your thoughts, breathe and center yourself. Remind yourself this is just a conversation to determine fit on both sides!
  6. Think positively and be confident.
    Prior to the interview, visualise yourself doing a great job, answering the questions satisfactorily and clearly and impressing the IO. If you experience shaky hands, carry a handkerchief; if you have trembling voice or butterflies in the stomach, take several deep calming breaths. Try to maintain a natural smile. Remember you are asked to come in for the interview for a reason!
  7. Think friend, not foe.
    The interviewing officer is not a friend, but he isn’t an enemy either. Don’t think of him as hostile or the enemy would get your adrenaline go fast, leaving your good senses behind. Remember that he wants to learn about you to see if you are right for the Armed Forces!
  8. Sit up straight and don’t fidget.
    When you square your shoulders and sit up straight, your voice naturally projects better and in flow than if you are hunched over. You will also have an appearance of confidence, even if you’re trembling on the inside!
  9. Normalize.
    Don’t stress about the fact that you are in stress or anxiety. We all experience stress to a degree, just dial that anxiety down so it doesn’t get in your way of being the best!
  10. Focus on your strengths and purpose.
    Stress has a way to make the best of us feel like unqualified losers. You are there for a purpose. Ask yourself, if you were to be recommended for this service, what are the reasons why? Nothing burns through panic like purpose!
  11. Breathe and take your time.
    When you are stressed or nervous, you tend to take quick shallow breaths. Take deep and full breath and relax. Take time to formulate your thoughts that allow you to provide a well thought out answer. When you are relaxed, you think more clearly!
  12. Accept the fact that mistakes will happen.
    This service employs you not for being perfect, but for your flexibility and resilience. Take the pressure grip off you and behave naturally. We are all humans!

Param Vir Chakra (PVC) is the highest gallantry award for officers and other enlisted personnel of all military branches of India for the highest degree of valour in the presence of the enemy. Introduced on 26th January 1950, this award may be given posthumously.

If any recipient of the PVC shall again perform such an act of bravery as would have made him or her eligible to be recorded by a Bar to be attached to the riband by which the Chakra is suspended, and for every such additional act of bravery, an additional Bar shall be added, and any such Bar or Bars may also be awarded posthumously. For every Bar awarded a replica of the ‘Indra’s Vajra’ in miniature shall be added to the riband when worn alone.

Literally, Param Vir Chakra means ‘Wheel of the Ultimate Brave’. In Sanskrit, ‘Param means Ultimate, ‘Vir (Pronounced veer) means Brave and ‘Chakra means Wheel.

The PVC is the equivalent award of the Medal of Honour in the United States, and the Victoria Cross in the United Kingdom.

21 Param Vir Chakra Awardees
Paramvir Chakra of Naib Subedar Bana Singh

One amongst the luminous recipients of this honour was Flying Officer Nirmal Jiit Singh Sekhon, who was awarded the Param Vir Chakra posthumously in the year 1971. He is the lone Indian Air Force officer to have been honoured with the Param Vir Chakra till date.

Param Vir Chakra translates as the “Wheel of the Ultimate Brave”, and the award is granted for “most conspicuous bravery in the presence of the enemy”. As of January 2018, the medal has been awarded 21 times, of which 14 were posthumous and 16 arose from actions in Indo-Pakistani conflicts. Of the 21 awardees, 20 have been from the Indian Army, and one has been from the Indian Air Force. Major Somnath Sharma, was the first recipient. A number of state governments of India as well as ministries of the central government provide allowances and rewards to recipients of the PVC (or their family members in case of the recipient’s death). Only 21 military personnel have received this award to date

All About Indian Army’s Multi-Mode Hand Grenade ‘Shivalik’

By

The Shivalik grenade is an indigenous grenade to India. It was developed by the Terminal Ballistic Research Laboratory, TBRL, a laboratory of the Defence Research and Development Organization, DRDO, which is located in the foothills of the Shivalik mountains near Chandigarh, and hence, derives its name from here.

spot_img

Let us understand more about the multi-mode Shivalik hand grenade.

There are four basic types of hand grenades:

  1. Fragmentation
  2. Illumination
  3. Chemical
  4. Incendiary

The multi-mode hand grenade was developed as a replacement for the vintage hand grenade 36M.

For several years now, the Indian Army has been using the World War vintage 36M hand grenade. The number refers to a variant of the ‘Mills Bomb’ which are British origin grenades, which are also pineapple shaped. These grenades can also be fired from a rifle. The 36M have been manufactured by the facilities of the Ordnance Factory Board, OFB, for the Armed forces.

The most highlighted feature of Shivalik grenade is that it does not explode until the safety pin is removed, unlike the vintage grenade, which could go off accidently.

Also Read: Types Of Grenades And How Does It Work?

The Shivalik grenade offers more in terms of safety, dual mode capability and lethality.

Its twin delay tubes ensure high reliability. Additional safety to the soldier is provided through a minimum 0.5 second arming delay. Further, the grenade has a dual mode capability of a ‘defensive mode’ or an ‘offensive mode’.

The grenades been used by the forces in India till now have mainly been the defensive mode grenades, which means that they are to be hurled when the thrower is in a shelter or has cover, and the target is in an open area and can be harmed by fragmentation.

On the other hand, the offensive grenades do not fragment, and the adversary is harmed by the blast or is stunned while the thrower is safe.

spot_img

Defensive Mode:

In Defensive Mode, the Grenade is complete as it is assembled with its Fragmenting Sleeve. This mode is used while the soldier is under shelter and the enemy is in the open. Lethal radius is achieved up to 8m from the point of burst.

Offensive Mode:

In Offensive Mode, the Grenade is without its Fragmenting Sleeve and is used for ‘Low Intensity Conflict’ as it offers a stunning effect only. This mode is used while the soldier is in an attack mode. Lethal radius is achieved up to 5m from the point of burst.

Shelf Life:

The shelf life of these grenades is a minimum of fifteen years from the date of manufacture under normal storage and packed condition.

Operational Characteristics:

  1. Delay time -/+ 0.5 Seconds
  2. Operational temperatures vary from -20 C to +55 C
  3. Storage temperature ranges from -20 C to +55 C
  4. Uniform fragmentation pattern
  5. High lethality
  6. High reliability (> 95%)
  7. Safe for para dropping in primed condition
  8. Maintenance free

The grenade has three basic modules: the fuse, the body and the launcher tube. These different modules can be assembled or dissembled with ease.

This indigenous grenade saves the army approximately INR 200cr every year.

Also Read: First Batch Of Multi-Mode Hand Grenades Handed Over To Indian Army

As seen above, the multi-mode, indigenous hand grenade ‘Shivalik’ is one to reckon with. Its ability to change modes from defensive to offensive and vice-versa is commendable.

The changing of the modes does not affect its capability and lethality in any way.

Being indigenous to India, it also saves the Army crores of rupees every year as the whole manufacturing process is done in India.

The grenade is maintenance free and offers high lethality and reliability in extreme climates.

This Indian grenade is surely one to take into account.

I hope this article was insightful.

Apache AH-64 Attack Helicopter Vs Mi-35 Attack Helicopter

Differnce-between-Apache-AH-64-attack-helicopters-VS-Mi-35-Attack-helicopter-1024x576

Recently India purchased 6 Apache AH-64E helicopters from Boeing and since then questions have been arised about why the government didn’t go for Mi-35 helicopters. In this article, we shall learn about the differences between the two Helicopters.

spot_img

APACHE AH-64 Attack Helicopter

The most sophisticated multi-role combat helicopter in the world is the AH-64 Apache. India is the 16th country to choose the Apache, which is also used by an increasing number of other foreign defence forces. There are 22 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters in the Indian Air Force’s fleet. Boeing and the Government of India inked a contract in 2020 for the purchase of six AH-64E Apache helicopters for the Indian Army.

Apache AH 64E Attack Helicopter
Indian Air Force APACHE AH-64 Attack Helicopter

The AH-64E is a cutting-edge, multi-mission helicopter that incorporates the most recent technological advances and upholds its position as the best attack helicopter in the world. It is the only combat helicopter on the market with a broad range of capabilities, including increased thrust and lifts, joint digital operability, improved survivability, and cognitive decision support, to meet almost every mission need.

AH-64 Apache armaments from Boeing

Under the fuselage is a 30mm automatic Boeing M230 chain cannon with a rate of fire of 625 rounds per minute. The helicopter has a maximum capacity of 1,200 rounds.

The Lockheed Martin/Boeing AGM-114D Longbow Hellfire air-to-surface missile, which features a millimetre wave seeker and can operate in full fire-and-forget mode, is mounted atop the AH-64D. 8 to 12 kilometres is the range.

Mi-35 Attack Helicopter

Rostvertol, a division of Russian Helicopters, is the company that makes the multipurpose combat helicopter Mi-35M. It is a Mi-24 Hind assault helicopter export model.

The helicopter, which was primarily created for assault and military transport operations, boasts a flight performance and manoeuvrability that is superior to those of its forerunner.

Mi-35M manufacturing commenced in 2005. For the purpose of attacking ground-based armoured targets and providing air support for ground activities, the aircraft incorporates modern, high-precision weapons. It can be reconfigured to serve as a platform for an assault, a ground assault, a MEDEVAC, or a transport.

One of the contemporary combat helicopters in the Russian Air Force’s arsenal is the Mi-35M. The military forces of other nations, including Venezuela, Brazil, Azerbaijan, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, and Mali, operate it as well.

MI-35M attributes

The Mi-35M military helicopter, which is based on the Mi-24 Hind, features a number of upgrades, including reduced stub wings, a new rotor system, contemporary avionics, updated turboshaft engines, and a hydraulic system. The helicopter’s cockpit and other crucial areas are well-protected.

TAT ebook part 1 ssbcrack 324x324 1

The helicopter is 21.6 metres long overall, 6.5 metres wide, and 6.5 metres tall. In ferry mode, it has a take-off weight of 12,000 kg. It can transport up to 2,400 kg in payload or eight soldiers.

Difference Between Apache AH-64 and MI-35 Attack Helicopters

ModelThe Mi-35 originally existed as the Mi-24V’s renamed export version. Although I believe the Mi-35M and a few other Mi-35 derivatives are actually deployed under this moniker for the Russian federation. It’s not always simple to distinguish between 24s and 35s. Currently, Russia is using about 330 24/35’s aircraft.An enhanced AH-64 is the AH-64E. 2011 saw the start of E model deliveries. There are just over 800 D/E model AH-64 aircraft in US Army service. I have no idea how many 634 D models have previously undergone upgrades. In 2019, 50 new E models were slated to be produced to complement the D fleet’s conversion to E.
WeaponWhen fully armed, a Mi-35 is at 92 percent of its MTOW. There are still 1,878 pounds to go. If each soldier weighs just 250 lb with equipment, a complete troop load of 8 soldiers would add 2,000 lb. Therefore, you could probably transport 7 soldiers, or 6 soldiers if their combined weight is 300 lb. Therefore, you won’t get the best of both worlds when people claim that the Mi-24/35 can fly into a combat zone with a full cargo of infantry and armament systems. Either one or both will be yours. Either the soldier load stays lower or the weapon load is decreased. Alternately, you can dramatically cut the range by lowering the fuel load.This is in stark contrast to an AH-64, which is only at 77 percent MTOW and has more than twice as many cannons, eight laser or radar guided missiles, and 38 laser guided rockets (used since they are heavier and have an improved operability). Of all, an AH-64E doesn’t carry infantry, but it also doesn’t attempt to handle two tasks at once poorly. According to Russian doctrine, an AH-64 would support ground forces and escort for UH-60s and other such aircraft, whilst a Mi-28 would accompany Mi-8/17 aircraft. There are various reasons why Russia switched to the Mi-28 design in this regard (beside the vulnerable front mid-engine exhaust layout issue).
Used SinceThe Mi-35 appears to have been the first Russian Federation helicopter to be equipped with FLIR, glass cockpits, and GPS navigation in the early 2000s. You have to obtain a Super Hind upgrade from South Africa prior to that. Additionally, I would be concerned because the Mi-24/35’s 9K114 Missiles are still SACLOS directed, requiring the gunner to maintain a laser-like focus on pointing at the target to secure a hit. When it comes to guiding a missile while it’s moving, this doesn’t sound as simple as an automatically slaving laser guided system.The AH-64 has had FLIR, night vision, radar, head-based target acquisition, and exhaust suppression equipment since its first incarnations, but it wasn’t until until 1991 that GPS and more modern communication systems were introduced. The aiming system enables auto tracking for the laser guidance, which includes a laser range finder, and slaving of the gun system based on crew head location (where they gaze). Within 30 miles of the helicopter, the mast radar can track about 250 targets. The D versions may have been able to identify targets (although only the mast radar was visible over the horizon or tree line), and then another Apache firing the radar-guided AGM-114 utilising the targeted Apache’s information.
Who’s Better?The armour is the distinction where the Mi-35 might have a clear edge. Titanium armour for the pilots and protective glass for the cockpit are intended to shield the entire aircraft from 12.7 mm gunfire.The Mi-35 is basically a flying BMPIt is capable of transporting an infantry squad in the back as well as an assault helicopter, rockets, missiles, and other armaments.  The engines, fuel, crew, and propulsion systems of the Apache are unquestionably protected by armour, and the cockpit area is certified against 23 mm gunfire. The titanium “tub” that Mi-24/35 pilots sit in might shield up to 57mm explosive rounds if it performs similarly to the “tub” used by A-10 pilots.AH-64 is a pure attack helicopter.Only soldiers riding on one of the wings can transport troops. Similar to the Mi-24 and other Hind derivatives, the MI-35 is best likened to utility helicopters like the UH-60, which can be heavily armed in some configurations rather than assault helicopters.
