Cleared Indian Army TES SSB Interview

Cleared Indian Army TES SSB InterviewMy name is Avinash Kumar and I am from Patna district of Bihar and I am a student of Sainik School Gopalganj. My Journey for SSB started when I appeared in SSB for NDA 140 in August. My SSB was at 2 AFSB Mysore.  I came to Mysore one day early. Mysore is a different city where you will find very conducive weather, clean and beautiful surroundings and a lot of places to visit. I visited Vrindavan Gardens that day. Next day I was in a very good mood and motivated for my SSB. In the morning I with one of my friend came to the railway station where Airforce bus picked us and took to AFSB. All the test were over by 2 pm and results were announced finally 114 out of 300+ were screened in. I and my friend both were screened in and we were very happy and supposed to clear SSB in our first attempt. Everything went well according to me I did well in GTO and Psych test but somewhere an interview I was seriously wrong. Always remember the interview that you are a simple student and an original human being who can do the things in the best way possible given any circumstances. Despite performing best in psych and a good performance in GTO I was not recommended because I did some serious shit in the interview. So always remember despite giving your best somewhere always keep in mind that you perform above average in all three assessment.

SSB Psychology Tests

My journey back to home was of 2 days in train and I booked a ticket in AC 2. In AC 2 it is a confined area so you can’t have conversations with others as like in general or sleeper compartment. I spent two days weeping and repenting that why I did some serious mistake in the interview. One tip here is that always travel in sleeper after you are out of SSB. At least constant conversation will keep you busy.

Next came my SSB at Bhopal

Thanks to CBSE board exam efforts I had secured 87.66% in PCM so I got a chance for another SSB.

ON 10TH OF AUGUST I WAS CONFERENCE OUT AND 31ST AUGUST SSB AT BHOPAL WAS THERE SO I HAD VERY LITTLE TIME TO PREPARE. I was good at GK and all so I just did one thing for every day. I sat 1 hour daily and recollected my every response and action and derived some conclusion and made changes in it wherever I felt necessary. Always remember that having zeal and getting in Josh can never get you clear SSB the most important thing is introspection about yourself. Most of the candidates at SSB don’t know about themselves which is a big problem. Try to think about yourself every day before SSB and you know for sure that what you are is the only thing SSB is going to look for not your extensive knowledge and big participation.

I ARRIVED SCC Bhopal On 31st August. In the morning around 300 candidates were called and as usual, I was nervous about seeing the crowd. Then we had document check done in 2 hrs. After that, we went for OIR test. It was of average difficulty level but still, You should practice. Two sets are usually given containing 40 question each. AFTER that In PPDT test picture was quite hazy and it looked like some lake and trees were there. I made a story around picnic organized by one school captain. I did well in narration part but in GD it was a complete mess at one chance I got to speak and my point was appreciated by Group so overall that went well. Now 42 were screened in out of around 300. Next day we had our pshych test and pictures were  simple and I made all the stories around my life and all of my hobbies. I did 60 SRT and wat both. I had a idea of how to write SD from my previous ssb so I did it in the best way. Same day I was having my interview. In the interview, I was asked at first at what height You are sitting from the ground and other methods of measuring height length diagonal of a room etc. Everything regarding my PIQ was asked to me.

Certain scientific principles were also asked like Archimedes principle. It went for more than one hour. I was foxed with questions regarding my life and my family. But I had prepared myself mentally and it was all fine . At last, he asked me which regiment You would like to join? I said 1/11GR and said about late captain Manoj pandey and I wanted to be like him one day.

Next was GTO task in which I performed my best. I did my GD, lecturette and PGT  very well. IN IO I could do 9 which I was satisfied. In snake race, our group finished last out of three but I tried to help my group in all possible ways and also not broke any rule. Next was the command task. I was called at last and offered the most difficult task in my group. Finally in FGT there was a lot of chaos but finally, we were able to   finish it.  I gave a crucial idea at one point and helped my group.

Now the conference was there and all of us were very anxious and a bit in pressure. In the conference, I was asked about certain situations about being an appointment in my school. I answered both of them. Finally, all of us were seated Manekshaw Hall after a long time an officer with came with a file. He asked that what did you learn in past 5 days. One candidate replied that to go to the toilet we have to get up early. All of us were in laughter. Finally, from last chest no were called 45 44 so on after that suddenly 25 and 20 were called and I was in complete shock as already 6 candidates were called. Then  came chest no 33. I got up called my name and roll loud and could not believe my 7 year long cherised  dream come true. I just felt blissed that day.

All give all credit to my ability of introspection and correction. I feel if you have learnt to challenge yourself you can clear SSB.

Recommended For Indian Coast Guard In My 4th attempt

Recommended For Indian Coast GuardHi everyone, I am Sumit Sangwan from Charkhi Dadri, Haryana. I have been a regular follower of SSBCrack and always dreamt of writing my experience here after getting recommended and when I am writing this I am just a few days away from joining the prestigious Indian Naval Academy. It took me four attempts to get recommended. I was conferenced out in each attempt previously. I feel I was quite an ordinary candidate for SSB with a nontech background (B.Sc Honours Mathematics), no exceptional achievement, no NCC training, civilian background. So I am writing this because I feel there are thousands of aspirants like me who will feel motivated and make it one day.

SSB Psychology Tests

Day 1: There was a battery test consisting of 80 questions. There were questions on number series, blood relations, rotation, analogy, Word formation, counting letters etc being shown on the board through a projector with each type of questions having different time and had to be encircled on the OMR answer sheet with no extra time. I advise you to be quick, calm and composed. The test’s level is moderate but you have to be quick and keep on concentrating throughout the test. Out of 83, 53 qualified for the second round. Then we were given chest numbers and were taken to a room for PP&DT.

A picture was projected in which 5 persons in suits were sitting around a table with an alcohol bottle placed in front. I made a simple story about the strategy of launching a new product in the market. I memorised my story before other assessors came and gave narration confidently. Everybody wanted to initiate the discussion and there was chaos in the group, I entered the discussion at the right moment and gave logical ideas for the group story. I focused on taking the group in the forwarding direction instead of arguing with others.
After some time results were declared and 6 of us had made it to the stage 2 testing. We were asked to do some formalities and sent back home. After a gap of about 25 days, I had to report FSB Noida for second stage testing and in that period I got conferenced out in Kapurthala once again.

Our documents were checked once again and I was allotted chest no 38

Day 2 Psych Test 
TAT: I made very simple stories on all the pictures that were shown. So simple that even people were laughing at me for so simple stories.  This time I had just penned down whatever was the first thought that came to my mind. In Blank Story, I wrote about my experiences from Volleyball championship in college days.
WAT: I did all the 60 WATs. I focused on making observational sentences.
SRT: I attempted 44 SRTs with detailed solutions. These were my minimum in all these 4 attempts but this time solutions were more detailed.
SD: Before the SD, the assessor had very informally described the importance of SD and what all should be included in your self-description. I wrote a balanced SD including all aspects like strengths, weaknesses, things that I should work on etc.

After the psych test, I was quite satisfied with my performance and thought that it was my best effort.Next Day morning my group came to know that we had no task that day. I enjoyed that day with some very good persons like Paramveer, Aadi, Ashish, Fauji bhai, Shivam etcDay 3 I had my interview in the morning session. I was quite a bit nervous before my interview and had to wait for some hours. I entered the room with wishing the IO who was Deputy President of the board with a very attractive personality. He asked me to just relax and started talking about my hometown and the place where I was living in Delhi.
Then he said to me that for the next 30 minutes we will be talking about your so and so……….. He gave me all the question of the rapid-fire in one go (in previous attempts these 25-30 questions were asked in 3 rounds) Just as he finished I started answering him and tried to answer as many questions as I could remember. He was very patiently looking at me and writing down something on paper while I was answering.
After this, he asked me some GK questions, news events, and current affairs. Luckily, I could answer all these questions except one and told him that I was not able to memorize that at that time but I would surely search it out, he just smiled and said no problem.
He then very sweetly asked, “Do you have any girlfriend ?”
Me: No Sir
IO: (laughingly) Are you afraid of Khap panchayats of Haryana?
Me: No Sir
IO: You are young, very smart looking and a DU graduate any girl would like to date you.
To which I replied me with my own reasons and he looked quite convinced.
He then directly questioned me about the girl I like, what she does, how often do you meet, have you expressed your feelings to her.
While I was being asked these questions I was thinking inside me that why these type of questions are being asked to me. But anyways, I answered him all that very frankly and confidently.
He then asked me about my strengths and weaknesses and after I had answered him he asked me how was my psych test. I told him that I was satisfied with my performance in the psych test.
My interview was now over, he shook hands with me and wished me luck.
In the evening we used to sit together after dinner and kept on cracking jokes, describing weird experiences from past and laughing. Paramveer’s storytelling will always be remembered.

5 Days SSB Interview

Day 4 GTO
GD was the first task and GTO sir gave us the freedom to choose the topic. I suggested my group mates to choose Indo US relation as our GD topic to which almost all agreed.  Everyone had points on the topic, each was giving points, I too gave points back n forth in short intervals at right time.
GPE I wrote the solution within the stipulated time and followed the same strategy here while discussing the solution.
Lecturette: Out of the four topics, I had an idea on all the four. But while I was coming to deliver, I decided to speak on the topic other than that I had prepared for in the last 2-3 minutes. I spoke on the topic for complete 3 minutes and this was the end of the group tasks as there are only Indoor tasks in FSB of Indian Coast Guard.
Day 5 Conference
I was not thinking much about the results that day. When the previous chest no. came out of the conference room I asked my friend chest no 39, to see how much time do they take to call me inside as I had seen in previous attempts that they generally make recommended candidates to wait for 4-6 minutes before calling inside. As the time was passing I was getting the feeling that there are my chances. After 5 minutes I was called inside.
I entered the room with a smile. All officers sitting in whites
Deputy President: Sumit you are looking cheerful today. What’s the reason?
Me: I am going to get recommended today.
(Everyone in the room started laughing)
Than deputy president asked me to rate my performance and arrange the testing technique in which you did your best and the one in which you couldn’t much.
He then asked me to memorise the questions that I couldn’t and few more questions like what all did I do in last one year, any advice.
I left the room with a feeling that it should be a big yes this time.

After a wait of about two hours results officer came with results and after a short motivational speech started announcing results. I couldn’t believe my ears when chest no 38 was announced, I was on cloud nine. That feeling cannot be described in words, that can be just felt. 7 of us were recommended. I was a bit sad for my friends who couldn’t make it that time but I am sure they will make it in the later attempts.

After medicals at AFCME, I was declared medically fit for joining the force. I couldn’t clear CPSS due to which I had to wait for Select List II as they give first preference to the ones who had applied for General duty. Now I am all set to join INA in a few days.

All the very best to future aspirants
Jai Hind

col mn rai daughter alka

col mn rai daughter alkaDear sister Alka, on 27 Jan 2015 we lost a brave officer Colonel M N Rai and today while remembering him your face flashed in front of my eyes, I still remember your video shouting war cry of 9 GR, I was in tears and felt a shiver down my spine, even today, it takes a lot of courage for me to watch that video again. I was astonished by the courage of this 11-year-old girl bidding her father a farewell with the Gurkha Regiment’s war cry. We can never imagine for a fraction of second, how it will be to lose our parents. I still wonder from where did you learn this and will I ever have the same courage to match your level. The scene in the movie URI which is based on your story was the most intense part of the movie. We lost your father, but we are proud to have a sister like you who teaches us how to fight with the odds and what courage is all about. I thank you for giving us the courage, giving us the power to fight back in the battle called life.

9 GR WAR CRY

‘Tiger 9GR, ho ki hoina?”

The tiger of 9 Gorkha Rifles, was he or not? The greatest of them all, was he or wasn’t he?

“Ho, Ho, Ho!”

“yes he was, he was, he was.”

About Col MN Rai, YSM, Shaurya Chakra

By Jan 2015, Col Rai had completed nearly one and half years as commanding officer of 42 RR, which was responsible for counter-insurgency operations in Tral sector in Pulwama district of J & K. Tral had been a hotbed of terrorism as it provided suitable terrain for terrorists to operate. On 27 Jan 2015, Col Rai’s unit had received credible information about the presence of terrorists in the village under its area of operational control. After analyzing the situation a decision was taken by the security forces to launch a joint operation by the Army, CRPF, and the police.

The suspected terrorists were hiding in a house which was soon surrounded by the security forces. On being challenged the terrorists started firing and a fierce gun battle ensued. At this point, reportedly, the father and brother of one of the terrorists informed the assault team that the ultras would surrender. Col Rai displaying good leadership and following the Army doctrine of WHAM(Winning Hearts and Minds), decided to give the terrorists an opportunity to surrender. The terrorists, however, took advantage of this act of compassion and started firing in order to escape. The forces soon cornered the terrorists after a while and gunned down the two terrorists. But during the heavy exchange of fire Col M N Rai got severely injured and later succumbed to his injuries. Col M N Rai was given the gallantry award, “Shaurya Chakra” for his cold courage, leadership and supreme sacrifice during this operation.

Col M N Rai was martyred in the operation but the exemplary courage and leadership skills displayed by Col Rai would always be remembered. Col M N Rai is survived by his wife Priyanka, daughters Alka & Richa and son Aditya. At the funeral of Col M N Rai, his daughter Alka then 11 years old made his Regiment and the entire nation proud by bidding her father a farewell with the 9 Gurkha Regiment’s war cry, “’Tiger 9GR, ho ki hoina?” The tiger of 9 Gorkha Rifles, was he or not? The greatest of them all, was he or wasn’t he? “Ho, Ho, Ho!” “yes he was, he was, he was.”
