NDA SSB Interview

Hello friends I am Sunny Kumar Singh. I am from U.P, Varanasi. I got recommended from 19 SSB Allahabad in my 4th attempt for NDA-141. I am one of the simplest persons you will ever meet in your life A person who has been a mediocre throughout his life. A person who is just average. My journey started in army public school Bathinda when I cleared my NDA in my first short for NDA-138 when I was 12th appearing.
SSB Interview Preparation Material [ 100% Recommended]

Got conferenced out from 14 SSB Allahabad. I was totally shattered. I still remember the words of my chemistry teacher who said I will never make it (which was true at that time. I wasn’t worth it) and it was just the starting to a never-ending journey called LIFE! I boast about the fact that I am person who is self-made and self-taught. After my first SSB I introspected myself and improved and just kept repeating it. I decided to join Chandigarh university and started pursuing CSE and even volunteered for NCC. Then I got a call for TES-38 and then got screened out from Kapurthala. At this point, I actually started doubting my skills and even though I am more suitable for some other career. A phase of life that people would never like to live. I was living an aimless life. I thought this is the worst phase of my life but my fate had a lot more…. I got a call for TES-39 at Bhopal… I was in a dilemma that whether I should even give it a short or not, finally went for it and it held nothing more than a disappointment … I got conferenced out again. I that time released if you are going for an SSB either you go prepared or you don’t go. 

I started my preparation for next NDA written focused my approach on tips and tricks for mathematics because to clear NDA you need speed and accuracy. I used to study from YouTube and at the same time was able to manage a balanced college life had a decent score in my semesters. I made it … and from here there was no going back… things started to work out… I changed my schedule completely started living a more disciplined and punctual life I again started my preparation from scratch. My ANO (Associate NCC officer) started guiding me. I use to spend hours practicing my TAT and WAT skills. I use to imagine my interview and use to prepare my answers (My interview went exactly the same… the way I imagined). I use to prepare for my GTO from YouTube… use to watch videos and draw structures on pen and paper… and imagined myself doing those… I still consider my biggest strength is to have an optimistic approach in life… throughout the process, I never gave up … had faith on myself that I will make it for sure… and then on 7 sept 2018 I got Recommended from 19 SSB Allahabad. I knew this was my last shot and I have to make sure that it’s the best one… The only difference between my past 3 attempts and this one was preparation. I was more prepared this time.

Patience is the key everybody in this world has a different clock and a different time … wait for your time and when it’s your time there is no stopping you. I never wanted to write this post… but was asked by a close friend to do so… So, thank you Dherian. And thank you to all of you for considering this worth reading.

My Journey From Indian Army Jawan To Cracking SSB Interview

0
FROM ARMY JAWAN TO ARMY OFFICER

Hello, defence aspirants, this is my story of becoming an Indian army officer from OR. I hope this story will help and motivate the defence aspirants and my fellow soldier brothers.  It has been three years since I join the Indian army serve the motherland as it was always my dream to be in the uniform. Indian army provides a lot of opportunities to its soldier to rise through the ranks through various Indian army service entries like ACC, SCO and PC(SL). 
Books For SSB Interview Preparation [ 100% Recommended]

I decided to grab the opportunity to become a commissioned officer through ACC entry which is also know as Army Cadet College Entry. I applied for the ACC entry through by education JCOs internally as this entry is only for the serving soldiers and you have to apply for it through internal channel. I cleared the ACC exam and SSB interview in my 1st attempt, I decided to write something to motivate other defence aspirants, hope my story will be helpful in your journey towards success.

So this is my story to cracking SSB from a soldier. After 9 months of training in the Indian army, I was posted in a unit and I decided to write the ACC exam, all my seniors and colleagues in my unit supported me in this endeavor as you know life in a peace station is really busy and one has to do more than one task and our day and night duty is always there, but I had that burning desire inside me to reach that level so I always read books in my short leisure time , if you are opting for it you have to sacrifice your sleep. Nothing is impossible but it is also not that easy, luck only favours those who work hard towards their goals. I remember the endless effort and struggle day and night to reach this goal which is the dream of many aspirants.

In my journey to achieve this goal, I experienced that there is no substitute to hard work and whatever your conditions are, you are not supposed to give any excuses if you want to achieve your goals, in fact, the army life is all about NO Excuses and only positive results. There were moments when the goals look too hard to achieve and you also need to cope up with your current duties, it was really difficult to manage all but at the end what matters is the success and the taste of it.

Book for SSB Interview Psychology Tests
SSB Interview Psychology Tests

For improving psychology I read few good books and started doing things in practical, for GTO task I did my daily duty timely, coordinated with fellow soldiers and maintained a healthy relation with seniors as well as juniors. My CO (commanding officer) and other officers and JCOs were all concerned as even after so much of motivation and support candidates were only clearing written exam, for SSB interview they provided spare time, knowledge about trade work,  arms, and many more. My unit sent me for PDP classes and I also took up a coaching class in The Lakshya Academy Delhi, I learned a lot of new things during my preparation, it enhanced my thinking power as well.

No to forget the support of SSBCrack, the Instagram page of SSBCrack had made a great influence while preparing for the SSB interview and  SSBCrack Interview Books for SSB are the one I would recommend to all the defence aspirants preparing for the SSB interview. One thing good while preparing for SSB interview is you will know more about yourself and make you a good person with right attitude. I have done my best and have completed my first task in life, I would like to thank my Parents, friends and above all, My Unit which helped and supported me during my tough times. The life in the army is not easy but people who dare to live this life can achieve anything.

Girls May Join National Defence Academy (NDA) Soon

Indian Army Women Officers

It seems the dream of joining the National Defence Academy for the young girl will be a possibility soon. Minister of State for Defence Dr. Subhash Bhamre said Thursday that moves are underway to allow the entry of women into combat roles and a proposal is being actively considered to allow admission of girls at the National Defence Academy (NDA). Dr. Subhash Bhamre was speaking at the inauguration of the newly sanctioned Industrial Training Institute (ITI) — the first in Pune Cantonment.

At present only male candidates can join the National Defence Academy after 12th for the Indian army, air force and Indian navy after writing the CDS exam which is conducted by UPSC two times every year. Women can not join the National Defence Academy yet and they can only apply for the Army, Navy, and Airforce after graduation. Opening up the gates of NDA would be a bold move by the government and it will be interesting to see how soon this will come into reality.

The Indian Armed Forces are completing the process to introduce permanent commissioning for women in its three services — the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force. Minister of State for Defence Dr. Subhash Bhamre said Thursday that moves are underway to allow the entry of women into combat roles and a proposal is being actively considered to allow admission of girls at the National Defence Academy (NDA).


Bhamre was speaking at the inauguration of the newly sanctioned Industrial Training Institute (ITI) — the first in Pune Cantonment. Deepa Bajwa, the new Director-General, Defence Estates, Ministry of Defence, and others were present. Bhamre also released the logo of the newly set up Dr. Ambedkar Memorial ITI. Bhamre also said that Pune Cantonment was the first to set up 20 MLD Sewage Treatment Plant, which is a part of the Swachh Bharat Mission.

  • Manufactured by the Russian government-owned arms company Almaz-Antey, the S-400 Triumf is known as the SA-21 Growler by the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation or NATO. It has been in service in Russia since 2007.S-400 Triumf Missile

India and the need of S-400 Missile

  • The Air Force Chief BS Dhanoa said recently that S-400 would be like a “booster shot” in the Indian Air Force’s (IAF).
  • India needs a missile system like S-400 to protect itself against neighboring threats. Pakistan has over 20 fighter squadrons, with upgraded F-16s, and inducting J-17 from China in large numbers. China has 1,700 fighters, including 800 4-Gen fighters. 

 

India Russia S-400 Triumf Missile Deal

  • In October 2015, it was reported that India’s Defence Acquisition Council is considering acquire 12 units of S-400 for its defence needs. However, on 17 December 2015, it was confirmed that the final order will be for five units rather than 12 units as 5 are considered to be adequate for India’s defensive needs. The deal is worth US$5.5 billion. On 15 October 2016, on the sidelines of BRICS Summit, India and Russia signed an Inter-governmental Agreement (IGA) for the supply of five S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems and the final discussion of terms of the contract is underway as of 2 June 2017.
  • In April 2018, Russian and Indian media reported a deal was close to being reached, and the deal was expected to be signed before a summit involving the leaders of the two countries in October 2018. On 5 October 2018, during a summit between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin, India and Russia signed a US$5.43 billion deal for five S-400 missile systems. The deal was signed by the Joint Secretary of Land Systems from India and the Director General, Rosoboronexport of Russia. The deliveries will begin in 24 months, which is end 2020.

Why is SSB Screening Test a Nightmare?

Getting screened out is indeed a very disheartening experience. A candidate puts in several months of hard work before reaching the SSB and getting screened out can be devastating. I have seen several candidates weeping at the SSB when they are asked to board the bus. In my seven years of guiding defence aspirants, I have heard several questions on screening and I tried my best to answer these but the nature of the test being practical, it becomes difficult to explain theoretically. Often candidate mention that they narrated the story well and also discussed it well and yet they got screened out. The fact of the matter is the quality of the story is equally important. Further just speaking a number of times during the discussion will not be enough. The candidate has to prove himself to be effective in the group.

The second myth is about OIR test which is conducted as part of the screening process. Many candidates feel that it may be because of OIR that they did not make it. But the reality is that OIR plays much less role. If we go by statistics, whenever a large number of candidates take a test the result resembles a normal or bell curve. Since OIR is measured on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being the best and 5 being the worst, the mean, median and mode is OIR 3 which is acceptable. This means 50 % of the candidates are well within the passable range. For the remaining who have scored OIR 4 and 5, if they perform well in the PP&DT, and if the assessors feel that the candidate has the potential, he will be screened in. Thus, screening heavily depends on one’s performance in the PP&DT.

When it comes to PP&DT there are three aspects that are closely seen. Firstly, the quality of the story. The story must closely relate to the image shown and must involve action. Most commonly made mistakes are as follows:-

  1. Several candidates write stories that are not originated from the image and these are termed as preconceived or premeditated synthetic stories.
  2. Many candidates show a very low-level imagination with no action in their story. Unless the main character is involved in some positive action, the story will not be appealing.
  3. Some candidates insert a superficial problem and make the main character solve the problem. This again is a sure way to getting screened out.

In narration, the assessors get to see the candidate’s confidence and communication skills. If these are not adequate and if the candidate is not able to briefly narrate the story, his chances of getting eliminated are very high as such candidates won’t be able to perform in stage two testing. Hence narrating confidently and clearly is very important.

Finally, the discussion is very important. Several candidates tend to speak with the crowd and keep repeating their own story without understanding the purpose of the discussion. The purpose of the discussion is to come to a common story and any candidate trying to contribute towards this objective is seen favourably. Avoid the following during the discussion:-

  1. Avoid selling your own story unless you are really convinced that your story is the best
  2. Try and promote the story that appeals to you OR
  3. Promote a common theme that may have been narrated by many
