Many times people confuse the military with the paramilitary. Over the years, the defence forces have evolved a mechanism that takes care of the families of martyrs. This is not so for the paramilitary forces and there is a stir recently from the families of paramilitary forces to address this issue.

So, what exactly is the difference between the military, paramilitary and the central armed police forces?

Broadly speaking, the defence forces (also called the military) consists of a country’s Army, Navy and Air Force. The central armed police forces are BSF, CRPF, ITBP, CISF and SSB. The paramilitary forces are Coast Guard, Assam Rifles and Special Frontier Force (and other forces like NSG, RR).

Each force is regulated & each service has its own budget. Let’s see each one of them in detail.

Military

A military or defence force is a professional organization formally authorized by the country to use lethal or deadly force and weapons to support the interests of the state. Although it is called defence forces in India, but its actions are both defensive and offensive.

It typically consists of an Army, Navy, Air Force and the Coast Guard.

Paramilitary Forces

As per international usage, any force which has officers of the military managing it but it comes under the control of MHA is a Paramilitary. By definition only the Indian Coast Guard, Assam Rifles and the Special Frontier Forces fall into this.

The Paramilitary forces in India also constitute State Reserve Police Forces. They need special provisions of law to operate in aid of Civil Authorities, similar to the Armed Forces. Since they do not have police powers, they can operate only once the State Government declares an area as disturbed.

Central Armed Police Forces

Central Armed Police Forces police functions on the borders to check illegal border crossings, encroachments, smuggling etc (BSF, SSB, ITBP), internal security duties (CRPF) or installation security (CISF).

There are 5 CAPFs in India – Border Security Force, Shashastra Seema Bal, Indo-Tibetian Border Force, Central Reserve Police Force and Central Industrial Security Force.

The Coast Guard Ambiguity

Although the coast guard is a paramilitary force and its bills are paid by the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of Defence manages it.

It is primarily due to the reasons like the machinery used by the coast guard is much alike the machinery used by the Navy and CG needs someone experienced to handle it.

Coast Guard Officers

Also, the training to the coast guard personnel is imparted by the military institutions like the INA and AFA. This is the reason that a senior naval officer manages the functioning of coast guard and it has the same selection process as that of the military officers.

Conclusion

Military – Army, Navy and Air Force (managed and headed by MoD officers)

Paramilitary – Assam Rifles, Special Frontier Force and Coast Guard (managed by MHA, headed by MoD officers)

Central Armed Police Force – BSF, CRPF, CISF, ITB and SSB (managed and headed by MHA/IPS officers)

The U.S. State Department has approved a potential direct commercial sale of 6 AH-64E Apache heavy attack helicopters to India for an estimated cost of $930 million. But the deal seems to be in trouble over alleged misconduct.

$930 mn amounts to $155 mn per helicopter. Business-standard terms this as ‘bizzare’ noting that Israel paid less to the US when it purchased F-35s from it. The six additional AH-64Es are intended for service in the Indian Army’s Aviation Corps (AAC) and expected to be delivered by 2020.

The deal includes the sale of 180 AGM-114L-3 Hellfire Longbow missiles, 90 AGM-114R-3 Hellfire II missiles, 200 Stinger Block I-92H missiles, next to 30mm cannons and ammunition. The United States will also offer logistical support services and training.

Order Placed in 2015

The initial order was placed in 2015 for 22 AH-64Es and 15 CH-47F Chinook heavy-lift helicopters for the Indian Air Force (IAF). The 2015 contract included a clause for a follow-on option of 11 additional AH-64Es and 7 Chinooks at a fixed price agreed upon in 2013 and India issued a so-called Letter of Request to the U.S. government for the purchase of 6 more AH-64E gunships in February.

Why AH-64E over Mi-35

Mi-35s are considered as ‘baaps’ of all helicopters, and still, India prefers American AH-64E over the Russian Mi-35s.

Stinger Missile
Stinger Missile

The main reasons behind this is that the Apache comes with FIM-92 Stinger and AGM-114 Hellfire. The Apache helicopters are more immune to the stinger missiles than the Mi-35s and also carries upto 8 Hellfire missiles for anti-armour role. Pakistan operates 350 Stinger launchers. With US Aid it has amassed an undisclosed amount of missiles in anticipation of using it against India’s Mi-17s and Mi-35s.

AGM 114R Hellfires

This will provide an increase in India’s defensive capability to counter ground-armored threats.

The purchase is most likely to support the realization of India’s unofficial so-called Cold Start Doctrine of limited conventional war with Pakistan.

Other deals with the US

US government-to-government sales to India in recent years have included C-17 transport aircraft, 155 mm Light-Weight Towed Howitzers, UGM-84L Harpoon missiles, Support for C-130J Super Hercules aircraft, and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) support equipment.

In addition to these foreign military sales cases valued at $1.62 billion, India has purchased $2.82 billion in defence articles since 2013 via the direct commercial sales process. These include aircraft, gas turbine engines, and electronics, among other categories of major defence articles.

Conclusion

India will have no difficulty absorbing the helicopters and support equipment into its armed forces. The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

10 BASIC HABITS THAT HELP YOU CLEAR SSB INTERVIEW

Greetings Ladies and Gentleman, Warriors of the Future and Present.

I, Sajal Roy, [Recommended from 22 SSB Bhopal (Indian Army) First attempt, with Merit, Medical Out-SSC TECH 43rd Entry-June 2014], takes this honorable opportunity to write to you on the Subject of “Preparation for SSB, from the perspective of a Recommended Candidate. “ Lately I have been receiving a query regarding building psychology or how, to begin with, grass root level of preparation.  I am writing this article to elaborate on certain basic habits for everyone that helped me during my days of preparation.  The basic practices mentioned is completely on my sole perspective and opinions may vary from person to person.

Psychology

In the first place, there is nothing called good psychology or bad psychology. It’s just a frame of a mindset that we have, quite often inherited from our basic upbringing to the various experiences that we go through in life. But that does that mean there is no room for improvement or no scope of growth. The answer is definitely NO. One can always improve and grow.

  1. Motivation: Since the senior school days I adopted a habit of reading books before bedtime. The books were of Inspirational or Self Help genre. For example. You Can Win, Some books by Robin Sharma. By being in the company of these self-help books one definitely gets a different perspective, vision, and substantial grit to pursue motivation. These books should be kept in a regular routine as it develops mental resilience, a strong mindset. Motivation is like a fuel that needs continuous refueling. Please remember a strong mind or optimistic mind has a very important role in building Officer Like Qualities (OLQs).  So when a person has a regular touch with these nature of surroundings he/she will develop a behavior, character out of it and hence become optimistic will itself become a natural response. Hence this is the importance of reading. From the academic perspective keep regular habits of going through Current Affairs, News, Mathematics (for those who fear, start with solved examples and practice more previous year papers), etc and other subjects.
  2. Day to Day Behavior: This has a very important roleplay in shaping who we are. Remember, there is always a chance to improve and better. During my school days, I came across a book ‘How to win friends and influence people, Daniel Carnegie’. After reading these books, watching some videos on etiquettes of communication I started observing a different state. The takeaway was not the style of behavior but certain factors like the importance of understanding, RESPONDING rather REACTING.  RESPONSE = Thoughtful acting according to the situation. REACTING= Immediate action in a fit of rage. Quite often we come across situations of conflicts, or any situation that irritates us, with family, friends or bosses, the right way is to understand the cause of the situation and find a peaceful way to resolve the conflict. Many a time we don’t resolve, take matters to our ego and stretch the conflict by not talking with others and so. This will indirectly seclude ourselves and put to isolation. Hence, Make peace where it deserves and move on.  During a discussion, if you differ, then let the speaker complete and put forward your points thereafter.Empathy plays a very important role i.e understanding the situation from the other person’s perspectives. This kind of behavior will foster Teamwork and is a very important essence of the Officer Like Quality. No need to go for a confrontation during group discussion. IF you want to speak, take a respectful stance, seek permission and then put forward your points. If there is a heated fish market situation, it will last for some time only. There is always a room to drive the discussion in a positive way. Also, the way we behave should not limit to any particular circle like friends or relatives, but it should be even for all. You will never imagine, with time, how a better version of yourself you will be able to see in yourself. Read more on the art of being a gentleman and certain similar blogs. You will come across fascinating articles.
  3. Value the Present: Many of us are in school, college or working somewhere and are aspiring for the armed forces. But that is a part of the future. It is very common to see that quite often we happen to live in the expectations that the future would be great and we do not make peace with the present. By making peace with the present I mean, to live in the day as we are going. For those in school, give importance to your daily schooling-sports, friendships-relations with teachers and so forth. Similarly for those in college should enjoy your present with the kind of classes, taking exposure in various college fests, sports & learning experiences, taking training, traveling etc. For those in corporate one should take their daily work with seriousness and not demean it. It is very common to be unhappy with the present nature of work whatever we might be doing but remember being future-oriented will also impact your thought patterns and you will start missing on the present detail. This will indirectly affect the write-ups that you l write for TAT.  Whatever is in store for the future its fine, but the present is equally important. Also, happenings of the future are beyond our control. Hence, live to each day with goals for the day and keep winning.
  4. Be Expressive: See we may be of whatever nature but there is a certain amount of expressiveness that is needed in the modern day. Be it in verbal or written. Read below in the #Communication. But from the perspective of psychology, one should be able to speak, write freely expressive of his/her thoughts. English being the language, one who is finding challenges, should learn and practice up to the basic grammar. Then start with writing small paragraphs preferably look for samples of report writing. The reason I am suggesting report writing is it will be a good start on how to express in a small paragraph the details of an incident or so. In a TAT we write details and keep it small. Report Writing samples would be there on the internet. Keep practicing the TAT and improvising by correction.
    The other perspective is to be vocal. How to start. Engage in social conversations. This will reduce your resistance to be socially active in the conversation. Once you get in the habit of conversation, automatically discussion skills will shape. Amongst all this, listening plays a very important role.
  5. Leadership: This is all about taking the right stand at the right point in time. The internet has a lot of articles on effective and building leadership. Many a time we come across a situation where we lie in a dilemma to act. Be it offering help to someone or any other situation. It’s always to adopt a right stand for the right thing. Also, leadership means being an effective follower. Sometimes, we are often struck by a thought “Should I suggest this to the boss/or whomsoever”, my suggestion would be to take the initiative and take the lead. A leader will always be recognized for how responsibly he acts for the group. The word INTEGRITY plays a very important role to shape effective leadership. A suggestion would be to encourage yourself to participate in various activities and take valuable experiences.  Any common person may stand and witness the scenario, but it is a leader who will come out and do something. So keep this attitude.
  6. Value the People: This goes to your friends, family, loved ones, relatives or any acquaintance. Quite often with the taste of success, we tend to drift in a feeling where we don’t need anyone to stand with us. We can do everything by independence and this builds slight overconfidence and ego. With my personal experience, this is very wrong. Every person is important at its place. Be it family, or friend circle (close buddies), relatives or it may be even an unknown person. IF anyone is coming to converse with you or seeking help, value it and make sure you deliver it to the right extent. Often we come into a state where we show how busy we are and ignore such calls or so forth. You never know there might be a turnaround situation in life where you would long to speak or connect with them. So before it’s late, make sure you start valuing each person. This is a very important leadership trait. This, in turn, will also help build your effective social skills. Start with your own family. Do something special surprising for your parents and see the happiness in them. For those who are away from parents, try adopting an attitude where you are not irritated with questions like “Khana Khaya ki Nahi ?”. One fine week call up your relatives. As a surprise write up a letter to someone of your known, be it your buddy, or anyone. Time is very short as per life, so strive to make people feel special. Blessings always reciprocate. Once you do this on a frequent basis you will see the changes in your personality and will develop an aura of magnetism where people will intend to talk to you or connect with you.  This will, in turn, shape your influencing ability in general.  Certainly, it would make you a better human.  Value the time fleeting by.
  7. Karma: Well this is an abstract word with a qualitative definition. But let’s get to one thing, why do we dream of the armed forces or any such institution. It is because we want to serve the nation and its countrymen right. I mean it begins from there i.e service attitude. So why wait till we get recommended or till we get employed in that sector. Why not do it now. Yes, this country has ample opportunities for all age groups to contribute to its building. Either by self-serving initiatives or voluntary action by feeding someone or so forth, or by participating in contests held by MyGOV etc. It is indeed true what we sow so shall we reap. Here I want to say to invest all your time and effort in the right form of action and the right thinking and etc. Think good, do good and good will do well to you at some point in time. Engage yourself in knowing more about the great country. The cultural heritage and so forth etc. Help the oppressed and the challenged people by any small action. Within no time this will become your natural response of serving others and you will develop a character out of it. Personally, what I have been carrying out since 2012 has given a significant difference in me. I started celebrating my birthday in Old age homes each year and national holidays (Independence and Republic Day) in orphanages distributing chocolates. The experiences have been very great and empowered me with more courage. People can choose their own fronts but don’t wait for something to happen, you want to serve there are ample opportunities. One fine day you never how all these habits might have shaped your Officer Like Qualities (OLQs) and you will get recommended with merit.
  8. Be Resilient: This is the capacity of ourselves to bounce back from difficult circumstances. Being tough. This is something one needs to get a grip over as we all will come across circumstances that will force to get down on knees. Just like physical workout mental workout has its significance. Hence I l suggest people read books on warfare and building mental toughness. Remember to look not someone above us but someone below us. The absence of resilience gives rise to anxiety and stress which can have consequences shattering the basic self. We can come across depressive situations, health situations, etc at that remember the time of our parents or think about those who are working, but if they start counting every bit of pain then they will dissolve and will not continue their profession especially for whom family dependency is resting. So it’s important, to count the blessings. During any depressive situation, socializing helps. Apart from this keeping ourselves engaged in an active lifestyle with sports or routine exercise with some hobby helps in being resilient. Resilience, in turn, helps build courage and persistence. Continue participation in various things to keep life versatile.

Ebooks:

Communication Skills: This is another and perhaps one of the most important pillars of a personality. I would like to get straight into the facts. I have received questions as to how to improve speaking and similar skills.  So I try to elaborate the Communication part into written as well as verbal part.

  1. Written: For people who are sound with the grammar and correct usage of the English Language they can continue the basic practice of write-ups. Practice TATs etc. so that you are used to the writing habit. For those who are building the foundation, I will suggest to quickly go through basics of grammar and start writing paragraphs (small and crisp).  Once, one is used to the writing correct sentence Writing never becomes a problem. Pick habit of note making whenever you are referring to a fact-based search on the internet.  People can refer to normal short essays’ or report writing to understand how a short paragraph can be descriptive enough with limited usage of words. Report Writing normally is of the format where it begins –“What, Where and When………” and within the next 100 words the entire incident is summed up. So for the beginners, a reference to report writing can get you on track for crisp writing.  For WAT  try not spending much time thinking over them. Write whatever comes first into mind. Then proceed for improvisation. SRT tests are based on individual opinion as to their response. So I suggest people give genuine, honest responses.
  2. Verbal: For this, I will suggest a basic habit that our parents used to ask during childhood. Whenever you are reading an article or something read it loudly. This helps in vocal modulation and helps to open in the voice. Many of the people are reluctant to speak because they have never been in the habit of speaking. Try this for a couple of weeks or so and see the difference for yourself. Don’t read fast, but go with the pace giving pauses for comma and full stop. This will also help in the narration. Next would be practicing impromptu speaking. Take a topic. Prepare some notes, and recite them in front of the mirror. Make sure to have some facts. This will race the confidence. For people in school, take participation in the competition like debate and so forth, give a try, need not represent but go for the practice. Interact with teachers and explore more. For people in the College days, go ahead and organize and request the management for mock group discussion and participate in similar events like debate, impromptu speaking, fests etc. For people in the corporate sector or working lifestyle, this kind of environment already exists as being in meetings etc. Still practice of impromptu speaking. Watch more videos on etiquettes of group discussion and interview. Socialize more, all this will definitely help in building a proper vocal communication skill. Also, focus on SOFT SKILL building. A major part of the SOFT SKILL part is being an effective listener.

GTO: Ladies and Gentleman, this is more on the situation front. Hence, I really don’t have any formula to decode the same. But what I used to do is engage in an active life. Sometimes keeping ourselves in regular exercises, group workout, team engagement activities helps us building confidence.

  1. The major doubt of many aspirants was how to build confidence. In a general perspective, Confidence is something that comes with an experience of participating in various fronts. Like in the college days I used to participate in the organizing committee or volunteer for some other event. This kept me engaged working actively with 30 or more people. Though conflicts come in they are handled well. Also, on the physical workout, basic exercises keep the body energetic and mind sharp.  Being interactive in itself will raise your confidence to face interviews. So, in general, engage in an active and social lifestyle. Be calm while dealing with the problem statement. There might be a difference in opinions during the Full Group Task etc, handle it tactfully. IF unable to influence, then go with the one who is commanding. You will get similar opportunities in Half Group Task and Command Task. Be very respectful and be calm.  At the same academically it is important to be aware of the ongoing issues in Current Affairs especially in the field of Science & Tech (With special relevance to Defence), International Relations, and basic Current Affairs. To identify different topics for GD and all, search the internet and look for topics. There are an enormous amount of topics around.  Once or twice or as and the will may be, practice those topics. (First, collect info-then try explaining it in the air as if you are explaining it to a group of people). This will, in turn, develop more positive habits.

Thank you for the patience in reaching till the length.

Personal Message:

See ladies and Gentleman, there is no hard and fast formula for anything. Yes, I wrote this article in a perspective where the three important pillars of SSB –Psychology+Communication Skills + GTO is discussed in an elaborate manner. The article is solely based on my personal experience through my lifestyle and my opinion that can help shape a better and a confident personality.

Don’t prepare to just get recommended, prepare to be the Officer. Automatically you will get recommended. This is not a test where you need to have fundas, but SSB is about being the right fit. Sometimes a batch does not have the right fit so no one is recommended but at the similar contrast, there are 5 or 6 people who are recommended. They are the right fit. So, be the right fit.

A Recommended Candidate is a balanced person with interpersonal skills, intellectual, basic ability to socially coexist, is socially active with friends, family, relatives etc. , learned, active lifestyle with both physical as well a mental aspect i.e balanced in all aspects.

Don’t let the worry of medical or merit or vacancies stop you from the preparation. Remember, a true patriot who is bedridden or on the wheelchair has the equal desire and motivation to stand in front of the enemy, serve the nation, or tear the skies apart. Hence, the purpose is always greater. So I am sure this article will help you in a pursuit of leading a confident lifestyle.

Be grateful for all that you have and keep the purpose high. When we have a determined purpose nothing can shake us. The purpose is to serve the nation, making the tricolor proud and serving the citizens of the country.  For those who are not able to make through, bear patience and continue your endeavors of service by any form towards the country. One fine day the life will unfold its actual plan for you. We cannot expect a destination unless we make a start and continue moving.

The day I got recommended and medical out (June-2014), I took it upon myself to live with the motto of the Indian Army i.e Service before Self. Thanks to SSBCRACK, that I got this platform to be able to connect and help aspirants.  Currently, I am 25, working in the private sector, Hyderabad and preparing for other government sectors and so forth.

Lately, I had the opportunity to write an eBook with SSBCRACK on TAT. I am sharing the link on sample story.

Hand Tremors
Hand Tremors

Shaky hands or hand tremor as it is popularly known as, is another reason for rejection in SSB medicals. It can be an early warning sign of some neurological conditions. As per most popular belief, it is likely caused by a disruption in the normal functioning of the cerebellum.

What is Shaky Hands or Tremors?

Tremor is an involuntary, rhythmic muscle contraction leading to shaking movements in one or more parts of the body.  It is a common movement disorder that most often affects the hands but can also occur in the arms, head, vocal cords, torso, and legs.  Tremor may be intermittent (occurring at separate times, with breaks) or constant.  It can occur sporadically (on its own) or happen as a result of another disorder.

  3. Essential tremors
  4. Hyperthyroidism
  5. Side effects of medications
  6. Cerebellar disease
  7. Withdrawal symptoms
  8. Reduced blood sugar levels
  9. Mercury poisoning
  10. Liver or kidney failure

Symptoms:

The common and visible symptoms of tremor are:

  • Rhythmic shaking in the hands, arms, head, legs, or torso
  • Mumbling/shaking voice

The World Health Organization (WHO) has validated Nepal for having eliminated trachoma as a public health problem – a milestone, as the country becomes the first in WHO’s South-East Asia Region to defeat the world’s leading infectious cause of blindness.

Trachoma was the second leading cause of preventable blindness in Nepal in the 1980s. In 2002, the Government of Nepal stepped up efforts to eliminate the disease with the establishment of a national trachoma programme. From 2002 to 2005, following the implementation of sustained control activities, the prevalence of active (inflammatory) trachoma fell by 40%.

Founded as a joint initiative of the Army, the Centre for Social Responsibility (CSRL) and PETRONET LNG Limited (PLL), Project Kashmir Super 50 this year saw 32 students clear the JEE (Mains)

Modelled on Patna’s Super-30, which has enabled many poor students crack the entrance examination and join the prestigious IITs, the coaching centre in the Kashmir Valley is enabling disadvantaged students from the militancy-hit region to pursue their dreams of becoming engineers.

The Students

The students selected for coaching are 45 boys and 5 girls who were provided with free residential coaching for the JEE, JKCET and other engineering colleges. The 45 boys are based in Srinagar and the 5 girl students are based in Noida.

32 out of the 50 students have cracked this year’s IIT-JEE (Mains) and 7 crack the JEE (Advanced).

Significantly, 20 of the 32 JEE (Mains) qualifiers are from the Scheduled Tribe category and two from the Other Backward Classes.

Roughly a third of the successful students are from the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas and the rest are from other government schools. Among the students are children of farmers, labourers and drivers.

Fifth Such Batch

The outgoing batch is the 5th batch of Kashmir Super 50.

A group of 30 qualified students, part of Kashmir Super 50 visited New Delhi and interacted with General Bipin Rawat, Chief of the Army Staff on 12 Jun 18.

The General shared his experiences while serving in these areas, with the students and motivated them to work hard & contribute actively to the nation-building process.

About Super 50

It was launched on 22 March 2013 in a joint initiative by Indian Army, Center for Social Responsibility and Leadership (CSRL) and PETRONET LNG Limited (PLL).

It is a 11-month program and the selected students are provided with complete free residential coaching for IIT-JEE, JKCET and other premier Engineering Institutes.

Project ‘Kashmir Super 50’ has been one of the most successful projects undertaken by the Indian Army in the valley and has directly impacted the lives of a number of youths in J&K by providing them with the right guidance and opportunity to make a career for themselves.

The project has equally helped the families of these youths in their growth and prosperity. It is a major initiative towards bringing normalcy in the valley.

Future Projects

One of the girl students who qualified for the JEE Mains told that such programmes were needed because not many in her village knew about the opportunities that exist in the mainstream world.

On similar lines of Kashmir Super 50 for engineering aspirants, Indian Army has recently signed a MoU for medical aspirants with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) & National Integrity Educational Development Organisation (NIEDO), under which selected students will be provided with complete free residential coaching for National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET).

Cracked SSB Interview In 2nd Attempt - AIR 7

“Success is what happens after you have survived all of your disappointments and failures”

Heartfelt gratitude to Millions of Defense Aspirants, grown up in different atmospheres, living in the different parts of the country but having only one dream, “Indian Army”.

Introduction: – Where to start from? I’ve a lot to share. I’m Shashwat Awasthi, born and grown up in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. I belong to a middle-class family. My family background is NOT of Army. Perhaps I’ll be the first army officer of my family. My first 5 years of schooling was done in Hindi Medium. Then I switched to English Medium but remained in State Board up to High School. I completed my 12th from CBSE.

I dropped a year for the preparation of Army and JEE after 12th. I got conference out in my first SSB of Indian Navy. But I was more enthusiastic and full of zeal after that experience. I always believed in myself. There is a basic funda in my life that Listen and admire everybody but follow only my inner voice.

I started taking part in debates and speeches from Class 6th onwards.

From Hindi speeches to English Speeches, from debates to MUNs, I participated in almost every extracurricular activity. And I love Football, not Cricket though. The most important thing that I’ve observed about myself is that I’m a versatile guy, one who keeps balance between studies and extracurricular activities.

I’m always interested in International and National Politics. So, I read a lot of articles from different newspapers of different countries. I admire different cultures of different countries. That has always fascinated me. It is truly said that, “There is divine beauty in learning. To learn means to accept the postulate that life did not begin at my birth. Others have been here before me, and I walk in their footsteps.”

I scored 1st position in Class 10th in my school. I was also School Captain in class 10th. So, I tried to develop every skill I could.

It wasn’t always that good, I’ve seen many failures. And I’m glad that my mother always supported in every failure. She motivated me to try harder. I’ve seen my parents struggling to fulfill our needs. And that fueled me. And I owe my success to my parents.

My story may be little bit long but I’m sure that you’ll benefited from my experience. You all are well aware of present SSB process so my story focuses more on my personal experience of SSB interview. I did not take any coaching. (Yes, No Delhi-No Chandigarh)

(I got recommended from 18 SSB Allahabad for TES entry. I am merit in with AIR 7. I’m medically fit.)

1). Screening: – I practiced verbal and non-verbal tests. So, I did not feel any difficulty in that portion of test. I prepared a story revolving around my central character. Mood was positive. My narration was fantastic. My voice was clear and loud. I grabbed everybody’s attention. Discussion was Machali-Bazar (Fish Market) as always. I put my logical points. I was anyhow able to pursue group members to have a common story. 22 (including me) were screened in out of 300.

My suggestions: – Buy any SSB book. (Be smart enough to judge). Practice verbal and non-verbal sets. And Read all the instruction carefully of PPDT. Your story should convey some message. Narrate your story with confidence. Do not create hustle and bustle in discussion. Put your points gently and do take part in discussion. Silence doesn’t help (Not always).

2). Psychological Tests: – These tests are used to measure intellectual, Cognitive, emotional and behavior functioning. So, you can understand how important these tests are. One must pay special attention to these psychological testing series. What you write on paper defines your personality. See, we all are unique. We behave differently under the same condition and same pressure. SO PLEASE DO NOT COPY AND DO NOT FOLLOW OTHERS (EVEN ME). Following are test conducted under psychological testing series: –

1). Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)

2). Word Association Test (WAT)

3). Situation Reaction Test (SRT)

4). Self-Description Test (SDT)

Experience: – We reported to the testing hall. I listened carefully to each and every instruction given to us by the officer. Psychosocial tests started with TAT. Stories were shown to us and we were asked to write stories around the scene. I was ready for that. I closed my eyes and tried to focus. Stories were shown. I started with calligraphy and ended with simple separated words. This happens. If you pay a lot of attention to your hand writing, you might not be able to pay the required attention to what you’re writing. But, Psychology says that even your hand writing speaks of your personality. Officers say that vocabulary and hand writing doesn’t matter. But Write in such a manner that officers can at least read your stuffs. So, I was cleared with my thoughts. My stories were simple. And I tried to avoid negativity. I could feel sweat in my hands, though it was January. I managed to write all the stories. Next test, WAT. I wrote the words and formed the sentences. And Believe me, sometimes it was totally blank in the head. But I tried to maintain the fluency and I was able to form sentences of most of the words.

Then Came SRT. I was pretty confident about my performance this time. I attended around 50 SRTs. And My Reactions to the situations were simple, logical and clear.

At last SDT, I had to write what My parents, teachers, friends think about myself. Actually, I love responsibilities. I was IT Club Secretary in class 8th. I was school vice caption in class 9th and school captain in class 10th. I had a lot to write about myself. I come from a middle-class family so I’m resourceful by nature. I wasn’t a good debater, but I developed this skill. I’ve a younger brother, I spend a portion of my leisure time guiding him. So, this all contributed to Self-Description Tests. And I was able to write genuine about me in the psychological tests.

My Suggestions: – Psychological Tests are used to bring out your true personality. So, these tests are important. I suggest you to practice. Practice and practice a lot. Make a time table and spend time practicing it daily. Write and Practice. Nothing is better than writing. We have to write a lot in psychological tests. Keeping this in mind, the more you practice, better will be the result.

I suggest you to meditate daily. This sharpens your imagination and thinking. Do meditation for 15 minutes daily. Try to recall what you’ve done from morning till noon. This will help you to imagine the situation quickly in SRTs. And believe me, it really does help a lot in psychosocial tests.

Do not learn things. (Ratta Mat Maro) Understand it.Cracked SSB Interview In 2nd Attempt - AIR 7

3). Interview: – Everyone got the chance to be interviewed in formals. But I was called for my interview just after my GTO-2 (on Day 4). I washed my face and sat down in the waiting room. I didn’t wait for a long time. I was called by my interviewing officer just after 10 minutes. I took a deep breath and walked inside the office with a mesmerizing smile. I greeted him and he asked me to sit. My interviewing officer was president of the Selection Board. We had a quick introduction. He asked me about my performance in other tests. Then, He asked me about my family, financial situation, my school, my performance in 10th and 12th, my teachers and my hobbies. Seeing my interest in Geo-Politics, we had a conversation about the present world scenario. From Russia’s Interest to Israel’s’ attitude, He asked about the present global situation. Then, He asked about the most recent launch of ISRO and purpose of Indian satellites in the launch. I knew that the launch was conducted at the time I reported to SSB Centre. I told him the same. But He again asked me the purpose of the India’s Satellite. I thought for a while and told him that the purpose was either land navigation or communication, seeing the past record of Indian satellites. “Land Navigation” was the right answer and he quickly briefed me about the launch in 30 seconds. He asked me about my JEE preparation. And then the new phase of interview started. He asked me about my favorite subject. My answer was Physics. He asked me set of questions related to physics and further conversation went as follow: –

Interviewer: – What happens to the mass of the object when speed of it reaches the speed of light?

Me: – Mass becomes infinite. (Told the formula of inertial and non-inertial mass)

Interviewer: – What is refraction? What is the cause of refraction?

Me: – (Told him about refraction) I would consider light as a wave to answer this question (as light possess dual behavior). Because of the change in wavelength and the speed of light wave, the refraction occurs.

Interviewer: – How can you say that Light possess particle like behavior too?

Me: – By Photoelectric Effect. The time lag between the incidence of radiation and the emission of a photoelectron is very small, less than 10−9 second. If it behaves like wave here, it would take several hours. Every electron absorbs one photon, then it is emitted out if the incident light has equal to or more frequency than Threshold frequency.

And it continued. Overall, I really enjoyed my interview. And I believe that the officer was satisfied. I was able to answer almost every question he asked.

My suggestions: – Your body language speaks a lot of you. Sit straight. Listen carefully to what officer asks. You’ll surely face Rapid fire questions. So, prepare well. You must have some hubbies. Music to Novels, anything. If you don’t have any hobby, develop at least two hobbies. Spend some productive time learning new things. Read in your leisure time.  And Improve your communication skills.  You should know how to express your thoughts and inner feelings.

4). GTO (Group Testing Officer’s Tasks): – GTO is really important. So, you need to pay attention towards it. Usually, it is conducted on 3rd and 4th day of SSB interviews. And the different tasks in GTO are: –

  • Group Discussion
  • Group Planning
  • Progressive Group Task
  • Group obstacle Race (Snake Race)
  • Half Group Task
  • Lecturette
  • Individual Obstacles
  • Command Task
  • Final Group Task

I was suffering from High Fever and cold during my SSB interview. I usually used to take paracetamol in the night and perform tasks in the day. By the God’s grace, my throat was all right. I actively participated in the group discussion and group planning. I usually prefer defending the motion. But Remember, it’s not a debate. So, I put my points confidently in the discussion. And We really had a fruitful discussion on both topics. Though in Group Planning Exercise, my solution didn’t match and I had totally different views from others. Everybody agreed to a solution. I announced in front of everybody that I do not agree to the solution. I briefed them about the mistakes they made. But Nobody listened. But I extended my support to the solution to save time and further confusion.

Then We had PGT, Snake Race and HGT. I participated in it with full energy. And We were able to finish most of the tasks given to us. Snake Race was fun as always. We shouted our war cries and it felt as if we were going to call Gods from the seventh heaven. We won the race but someone broke the rules. We shouted from 1 to 10 and one of us (Me) was asked to repeat a task as a punishment.

I got the topic, “Article 370” in Lecturette. I took my all time. I love history. And I love politics. And It was both, political and historical topic. I spoke my heart out. From Jinnah to Churchill, from instruments of accession to GST and Demonetization, I cleared the picture of Article 370 in everybody’s mind in the given time. I felt that I was able to grab the attention of everyone. So, I felt pretty good after delivering the speech. I paid attention to all the speeches. Everybody spokes well.

But the real game was not started yet. Officer announced that We were going to have Individuals Obstacles on the same day. I was suffering from Fever. I was totally exhausted. AND I was the least chest Number in our group, I had to perform first. I listened to every instruction. I closed my eyes and said to myself, “Abhi nhi to kabhi nhi”. I put my whole energy into it. And I was satisfied with performance at last. Most of the people were exceptionally excellent.

Next day, we had our command task and Final Group Task. It was pretty well performed by me. The command task was very difficult. Officer was trying to create more obstacles by saying Gentleman, think that the blue pole doesn’t exist and now continue. As the result, I was able to complete only half of my command task. (Only one of my group members called me as subordinate)

My Suggestion: – Have command over the language. Practice speaking English in front the mirror. Start reading books. Have knowledge about everything. Keep yourself up to date. Do not mix your thoughts. Keep your body in shape. Read about every instruction of every task before only. Pay Attention to what Officer says. Do not break rules. Remember It’s not a competition.

5). Conference: –Fifth and the final day, we all were excited. The one of best things about SSB is that you get to know many people and you develop a strange bond. We reported to the testing Hall. We waited for the further instructions. Then, everyone faced the conference. One by one, everybody was called for the conference. I got a chance to see my all officers together first and the last time. I was asked about my experience and my suggestions. They asked me about the things I learned here. It didn’t take long. Just 2-3 minutes. After the process was done, we all were made to sit in conference hall and we waited for further instructions. Then, Vice-President of SSB Allahabad came. He told us to take our results positively. He discussed about the OLQs. The most awaited moment came. Result was going to be announced. He started calling out chest Numbers whose who were recommended. He called out my chest no. Everybody looked at me. Believe me guys, it felt like time had surrendered in front of me. I felt the blood through my veins flowing top to bottom and vice-versa. My whole world stopped for a while. I lived that moment. The smiling face of my mother flashed in front of me. My voice crumbled. I shouted my name, DOB and Roll No. Each step I took towards the officer, I felt that I was leaving behind the bias and fake world which I never was a part of. My unconsciousness broke when officer announced, “That’s all”. He turned to me and shook hands.

Tears in my eyes-I couldn’t stop

I was medically fit and I got All India Rank 7. I’m going to join academy next month.

“You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it.”

My Suggestion: – Do not panic. Take deep breaths. You may face some SRTs in the conference. So, Get yourself ready for that situation. If you’re a doubt case then your conference may be extended to even 30 minutes.
