6 Must Follow Tips For Personal Interview In SSB Interview

flaws-in-ssb-interview

For candidates, the personal interview which is also called PI is the key factor and a game changer as well. Most of us take it as normal and do not put effort to get more marks in PI, though it is not necessary to do something extraordinary and additional efforts, still, there are do’s which every candidate must follow in the personal interview.

Why Personal Interview is Crucial

  1. IO [Interviewing Officer], is the only person in the whole SSB who talks with you for more than 40- 50 mins continuously, related to your personal life, goals, attachments, success, failures, and whatnot. In other words, he has more information about you compared to any other accessor in the board.
  2. He will come to know, what you are, from what you speak in front of him.
  3. He knows your failures and hardships you have faced in your life, in short, he can decide whether you have the potential to become an officer in the Indian armed forces or not.
  4. He can convince GTO if your GTO marks are less, only if he finds you mentally stronger.

We can not fool a person who talks with us continuously for 40 -50 mins that too with back-to-back questions. IOs are experienced like anything, they might know your answer before you open your mouth. In short, if you go without preparation, you will cut short your chances of getting in.

spot_img

Tips for Personal Interview in SSB

  1. Look smart, cheerful, and enthusiastic.
  2. Be audible but not too loud and appear keen to speak and respond to the questions.
  3. Sit straight and comfortable, do not fidget, and do not keep moving your hands and legs as it may distract the interviewer from your responses.
  4. If you have not understood anything politely ask for clarification or to repeat the question.
  5. Be clear about facts and figures regarding your biodata, and marks obtained. ranking in competitive exams, dates, name of school/institute, teachers, friends etc.
  6. “ I do not remember” on aspects pertaining to your life, shows you in poor light.
  7. You are expected to be aware so as to touch upon current events if asked.

Top 10 Reasons For Getting Screened Out in SSB Interview

screening test in ssb interview

I hope everyone out there is going on pretty well with their SSB preparations. As we all are aware of the fact that the first and the foremost test in the SSB interview is the screening test comprising of intelligence tests (verbal and nonverbal) and Picture Perception & Discussion Test (PPDT).

We would like to bring to your notice a few common and dispensable mistakes that candidates commit during the Screening Test and end up going home the first day.

OIR Test eBook SSBCrack

Top Ten Reasons For Getting Screened Out

  1. Not being attentive to the briefing given by the officials. As a result, candidates ask irrelevant doubts and make their case worse in front of the authorities in the SSB.
  2. Not coming prepared for the Intelligence Tests. You might be a rank holder in your school/college but when it comes to solving basic level intelligence questions within a fixed time, you have to come thoroughly prepared.
  3. Copying or talking during the OIR tests can also land you in turbulent waters. You might think that you are really smart to befuddle the authorities present, but the truth is that every candidate is being watched and any kind of aberrant action will be dealt with accordingly.
  4. Not being able to interpret the picture correctly in PPDT. The time is given to perceive a story in PPDT is just 30 seconds. If you do not focus at the picture, you will end up digging your own grave. Such candidates more often than not end up finishing their story incomplete.
  5. Making a wishful story is no way related to the picture. We just cannot anticipate the amount of expertise the assessors possess; they catch any sort of concocted story in a flash.
  6. Not reading out the story properly and being nervous during the narration. Any undulations and jitteriness in the voice will catch and will work against you. There is no substitute for practice in this case.
  7. Not qualitatively contributing to the group discussion during the PPDT GD. You are required to cooperate with the group and then come to a common story. I know there would be people making things worse but believe you me, the genuine effort gets rewarded sooner or later.
  8. Repeating your own story and not listening to other group members’ point of view. It is really hot and intense during the GD, but that’s precisely the challenge. You ought to control your nerves during the GD.
  9. Being adamant about your own points and not being acceptable of the ideas of other group members. This will only create a negative image of you in the minds of the assessors.
  10. Overpowering the Group, Trying to impose your ideas on others. This is one thing which candidate knowingly or unknowingly does during the group discussions. You do not become a gentleman by mere addressing each other as a gentleman. Your demeanor should reflect that you are a gentleman in the true sense.

Well, these were certain frequently committed mistakes by people in the screening process. I hope all of you have kept them in your minds. I hope this article was worth a read. Your reviews and suggestions are always welcome in the comment box below. Till then, keep smiling, keep trying. JAI HIND!!
