UNIVERSAL TRICK TO MAKE A BRIDGE IN GTO

Group tasks are conducted under the supervision of Group Testing Officer (GTO) in any SSB interview. In the group tasks, there are PGT, HGT, CT and FPGT which requires some helping materials. These are about set of obstacles in ground in a specified area in which all team members should cross each obstacle defined by set of rules.

To cross those obstacles, helping materials are given by the G.T.O. are Log(s), Plank(s), and Rope(s). The difficulty of the task increases from one obstacle to another in a progressive manner in the PGT and it is just one obstacle in all other tasks.

Basically, you have bridge your way over these obstacles and reach the finish line with your group. Here are some terms related with these tasks:

  1. Obstacle: Materials and area between start and finish line.
  2. Structures: A built material that you might need to bridge in an obstacle. They are painted White, Blue and Red. White is in bound for men and material, blue – only for men and red – for none.
  3. Helping Material: Materials you need to use to cross obstacles and reach finish line.
  4. Group: The candidates present along with you to cross the obstacle.
  5. Load: Material that is your liability and you need to take it along while crossing the obstacle.

Two Ways to Bridge a gap in an obstacle:

So, there are two ways to connect two structures in an obstacle – direct and indirect. Direct means, you place one end of the log/plank on one structure and other end on the other structure and make a bridge.

In indirect bridging, you have to use the principle of cantilevers.

Universal trick to make a bridge in an obstacle:

The sole principle in bridging the gap lies in the ‘Cantilever’ principle. Let’s discuss some Civil Engineering concepts here.

A ‘cantilever is a long projecting beam or girder fixed at only one end’. Cantilever effectively needs 3 parts – Fulcrum, Effort and Load. The load is you, who will be crossing the bridge.

A Cantilever

The only trick in applying this in SSB is that you need to make a cantilever to make a bridge and cross where direct bridging is not possible. That gives rise to 3 possibilities –

  1. Fulcrum and Effort both present.
  2. Fulcrum present, effort absent.
  3. Fulcrum and effort both absent.

In the case where both fulcrum and effort are present, just fix on end of the log/plank in fulcrum and support the other side on the effort.

In case where just the fulcrum is present, use the helping materials to create the effort so that it supports your bridge.

In case both fulcrum and effort are not present, you have to create both of them to make a bridge.

Now give an example of one structure that cannot be bridged using this principle.

Direct Bridging
cantilever
Just place the plank on the higher post, and use the rope to extend a loop on the rear end and fix the other end in that loop to make a cantilever
gto bridge
use the same principle here, since the bottom of higher post is blue. If it were white, it was easier to slide the other end of the plank below the higher post to get a cantilever

Just like this way

Conclusion:

Any structure in an obstacle can be bridged using the cantilever principle if it is not possible by direct bridging.

Recommended From 17 SSB Bangalore For TES-39 In 4th Attempt

My name is Mohit. I live in Mumbai. Right since childhood, I’ve been living in a defense environment and I’ve always wanted to don the uniform and be like my father. I started preparing for SSB and my NDA exams in class 11. Being a science student I could try for the 10+2 technical entries also.  I’ve been recommended in my 4th attempt for the army 10+2 entry. A special thanks to my parents, my friends, SSBCrack and my mentors- Col. Ganesh Babu(AFOSOP) and Rajpal Singh Rathore Sir.

 

1st attempt- navy tech entry- NSB Coimbatore- Conference out

2nd attempt-army tech entry-18 SSB Allahabad- Conference out

3rd attempt- navy tech entry- NSB Coimbatore-Conference out

4th attempt- army tech entry- 17SSB Bangalore- Recommended! (20.3.2018)

I’ve never been screened out and the secret lies in the OIR, a good story followed by a good narration and a ‘civilized’ group discussion.  The last thing is very rare these days so all you can do is sit quietly and let the hooligans shout. Wait for that 1 millisecond of silence and bang! Give out your point in a loud enough tone and you’re done for the day. The screening analysis given in the Psychology Book by SSBCrack has helped me be on the safe side every time.

Day 1-  Screening Day

135 candidates reported, a figure too less for a direct entry. We were taken to a hall where we had our OIR tests followed by the story writing. The catch here is that there is no negative marking so attempt all the questions even if you’re not sure. Trust me it works all the time.

During the 30 seconds, scan the picture; see the background and characters properly. Make a story revolving around the picture and don’t just vomit pre-prepared stories.

38 screened in. I was allotted chest number 22.

Day 2 – Psychology Day

The easiest test, yet the most feared one. Just make stories revolving around the picture shown and write as many actions as possible. Make sure your hero does what you would do in that scenario or else you’re doomed my friend because consistency in all the 3 testing methods is something to look for.

WATs should be dealt with a cool mind. Make sentences on the spot and write your thoughts.

SRTs are a test for your common sense. Don’t be a superhero and jump off the train to chase a thief.

The self-description is the most predictable of them all. You can prepare it beforehand.

I attempted 12pictures, 60 words and 39 situations. The quality matters irrespective of what the quantity is. ‘BREAKING THE CODE OF SSB PSYCHOLOGY‘ helped me a lot as many of the words were repeated in my SSB and most of the SRTs were similar. The book also helped me get over the misconception about the psych tests. PSYCHOLOGY IS THE EASIEST. MARK MY WORDS.

Day 2 – Personal Interview

My interview was conducted by the board president and I had the golden opportunity to turn things into my favor. He asked me about Mumbai, my hometown and then proceeded to the rapid fire questions. Never had I ever missed the sequence but this time, I forgot a few questions *a moment of silence in the interview room* I asked him to repeat and I answered them. A few questions related to the army and I answered them all. Then came a question out of the blue “are you so motivated to join the army?” and I replied with a confident “yes sir!” he asked me a few current affairs and I answered most of them. If you regularly read SSBCrack blogs and know yourself, the interview is going to be a cakewalk. This was by far the best interview I’ve had in my SSB experience.

Day 3 – GTO 1 Day

Group discussion

We were divided into 4 groups. Our group ‘seemed’ civilized. Group discussion 1 was a chaos. Everyone started shouting at once and I didn’t speak for the first 3-4 minutes. I got a feeling that it was time for me to book my tickets but then I had prepared so much and couldn’t waste this attempt. I knew I could handle it. I asked them to let me speak, repeated the same line like 5 times until everyone was quite. I gave my point, withdrew, chaos started. I asked for a chance, gave my point, withdrew and watched them fight. At the end of GD1,I gave 5-6 valuable points and I was satisfied. Same happened in GD2 and I managed to get noticed by the GTO.

Group planning exercise

The GPE was good. I completed my written solution on time and the discussion started. My group mates were shouting and one could barely understand what they said. I somehow managed to stop them and asked them to speak one by one, it did help, for one minute though :p

I gave out my points and volunteered for giving the group solution but my group members nominated someone else. I was happy with my performance.

PGT

The PGT was good. I was able to go out in the front and give out ideas and at one point we were stuck. The GTO gave us a hint and I got it. We applied the idea and moved out. Overall, I was able to create an impression and I was confident about getting selected this time.

Group race

The best part of the GTO series. We helped each other and crossed the obstacles and like every time, my voice had cracked after shouting the war cry like some fauji. I was able to climb the walls easily as I exercise regularly and helped others climb too. We got a tea break and came back for the other tasks.SSB interview candidate

HGT and lecturette

My half group task was easy so I allowed others to speak and appreciated their ideas. I selected ‘pollution’ as my lecturette topic and spoke on it in a confident manner. Practice the topics given in the SSBCrack blogs and you’re done. I felt like patting myself on the back as I had done everything in a good manner. GTO day 1 ends.

Day 4- GTO 2 day

We had our individual obstacles first and I completed all 10 just before the GTO blew his whistle. The next task was command task and when my turn came, I couldn’t help but smirk. This was by far the trickiest task I had seen in my 4 SSB attempts. However I cracked it and completed my task well in time. One thing was for sure, I had impressed my GTO.

The final group task was a mere formality and I let others speak as some of them had not been able to give out ideas earlier. I left the GTO ground with a smile.

Day 5- d day- 20 March 2018

We were taken to a waiting hall and candidates went to the conference hall one by one. I took a small nap and woke up after 15 minutes and it was #17 who was inside. 20 minutes later, my turn had come. I went in and the president asked me only 3 questions. “Tell me the meaning of your village name” “how was the administration?” “Any suggestions?” and I was asked to leave. We waited near the tea point and after everyone was done, we went back to the hall.

Fast forward to results.

*Abdul Kalam speech over*(repeaters know what I’m referring to) first recommended guy was #21. After 10 seconds he calls out my chest number. I stood up, walked to him, shouted my name and roll number. 2 more candidates joined us, one of them was already recommended. A total of 4 out of 135 who reported were recommended. If they say love is the best feeling, they have never been to the SSB.

We had our medicals in the next 5 days and I was declared medically fit. Waiting for the merit list now J

just one tip – be calm, be yourself and improve yourself so that you don’t have to fake anything. Jai hind!

SPECIAL FORCES TRAINING SCHOOL NAHAN

The Special Forces Training School (SFTS) celebrated its Silver Jubilee on 01 Apr 2018. The school is responsible to churn out the elite Special Forces of the Indian Army.

SFTS is located in Nahan, Himachal Pradesh. It is under the command of the commandant, SFTS, who is the Chief Instructor of the rank of Major General.

Army’s First Special Forces:

The first SF unit was raised in July 1966 as the 9th Battalion, The Parachute Regiment. On 1st July 1967, 10th Battalion, The Parachute Regiment was raised by splitting 9 Para at Gwalior.

The Para Commandos were first deployed in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 and subsequently in the 1984 Operation Blue Star and in Sri Lanka in 1980s during Operation Pawan.

The Special Forces battalions of the Para Regiment are – 1 Para SF, 2 Para SF, 3 Para SF, 4 Para SF, 9 Para SF, 10 Para SF, 11 Para SF and 21 Para SF.

History:

The School owes its origin to a humble beginning on 01 Apr 1993 where it was established as a Special Forces Training Wing (SFTW) to impart training to the then 3 Para Commando battalions. The aim of raising this School was to provide unique and specialist training which was not available in any other training institution.

Initially, Special Forces Training School was raised as part of Headquarters Special Forces of War Establishment.

The raising of this school gave a boost to upgradation of the parachute commando battalions to Special Forces which were capable of conducting a wide variety of strategic and operational tasks, both overt and covert, in war and low intensity conflict situations.

Training at SFTS:

The essence of training at SFTS is ‘Walk The Talk’ where absolute professional competence is built through a practical on ground training. The students are trained to be confident and develop a strong winning attitude for carrying out special operations in the entire spectrum of contemporary warfare. SFTS is a Centre of Excellence (COE) for Special Forces’ Training and is also nominated as Nodal Agency for training with Special Forces of Friendly Foreign Countries (FFC).

The Indian Army conducts joint Special Forces exercises and training with the special forces of countries such as the United Kingdom, Seychelles, United States, Sri Lanka, Russia, France, Bangladesh and Thailand at this school.

The motto of the School is “Sauryam Daksham Yuddhe” which means “Courage and Competence in War”.

Special Forces Training School 2

ARTRAC Citation:

Owing to the developments made in training and infrastructure, conduct of complex exercises like water para jumps and maintaining a high level of training standards, the School was awarded Army Training Command (ARTRAC) Army Commander’s Citation on 26 Jan 2018 along with 3 other units in recognition of their services.

The investiture ceremony of the Army Training Command (ARTRAC) was held at Officers Training Academy premises on 16th March.

Army Service Corps (ASC) Centre and College (Bengaluru), Combat Aviation Army Training School (CAATS, Nashik), Simulator Development Division (SDD), Secundarabad and Special Forces Training School (SFTS) Nahan, received the citation from General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of ARTRAC, Lieutenant General M M Naravane, during the ceremony.Special Forces Training School 3

Need for a Permanent Location:

The School over the years has transformed into a Category ‘A’ establishment where it trains approximately 800 Officers, JCOs/ORs yearly.

The school at present is located at its intermediate or temporary location. Land acquisition process for the permanent location of the school is in progress. The Army needs 1,500 acres for the permanent location. The school will have its own airfield in its permanent location. Right now, after the initial commando training, the students go to Paratroopers Training School, Agra for their Parachute jumps training.

On 06 June 2017 at 2140 hours, leading an ambush in Chorgali Forest of Uri district of Jammu and Kashmir, Major Vijayant spotted infiltration and immediately engaged them.  In the intense firefight, some terrorists infiltrated into Goalta forest.

At 0500 hours on 07 June, Major Vijayant tracked the terrorists and at 1140 hours engaged them in a fierce firefight.  While closing in with the terrorists, the first scout of the patrol Rifleman Raj Paul got injured. Under heavy volume of fire from the terrorist, the officer unmindful of his personal safety crawled forward and pulled his colleague almost 30 meters in an undulating ground behind cover. The terrorists continued to engage the patrol with heavy fire. Undeterred, he regardless of personal dangers, carried out hot pursuit of escaping terrorists. Displaying tactical acumen and extraordinary physical courage, he moved forward and engaged the fleeing terrorist and thus prevented their escape.

The officer motivated his team to continue the search of terrorists for next 48 hours under adverse weather conditions. His perseverance fructified on 09 June at 1345 hours when the terrorists were sighted again. In ensuing firefight, officer dashed forward, unmindful of terrorist’s heavy fire and lobbed grenades while firing on them. In this daring act, he neutralized one terrorist. However, the second terrorist charged towards the patrol and came face to face with the officer. Major Vijayant displaying nerves of steel and raw courage engaged the second terrorist in a close quarter battle and eliminated him at point blank range.

For displaying conspicuous gallantry and indomitable spirit, beyond the call of duty for eliminating two terrorists, saving the life of one comrade under a heavy volume of fire and gallantly leading his men in neutralising three more terrorists, Major Vijayant is awarded “KIRTI CHAKRA”.

NIDEM Inauguration
The Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Subhash Ramrao Bhamre addressing the gathering after inaugurating the new building of National Institute of Defence Estates Management (NIDEM), in New Delhi on March 22, 2018.

Junior Minister of Defence Dr Subhash Bhamre inaugurated the new building of National Institute of Defence Estates Management (NIDEM) about a week ago. The NIDEM serves as the training institute of Indian Defence Estates Service (IDES) and has come a long way since its humble beginning at Meerut in 1982.

The day marked the fulfilment of a dream of having a full-fledged set-up for imparting training to the new recruits as well as updating the in-service officers in modern technologies in the management of valuable defence land and administration of Cantonments.

The Role of IDES:

The IDES Cadre is critical in the overall scheme of management of Defence Land.

The organisation has done well in the ambitious projects of the survey of entire Defence Land and digitisation of valuable land records through latest techniques.

Issues like renewals of leases, mutation of properties in Cantonments and processing of acquisition proposals should be worked out within prescribed time limits.

History of NIDEM:

The institute started in 1982 from a small accommodation shared by National Institute of Management & Accounts (NIMA) – a training institute of IDAS (Indian Defence Accounts Service) officers. It was shifted to Delhi in 1995.

It was initially located in the office of Defence Estates Officer, Delhi Circle, thereafter in the premises of Raksha Sampada Bhawan. In both these places, the training infrastructure was inadequate. The Institute basically trains the officers of Defence Estates Organization in civic administration and land transfer matters.

With the rapid changes in the field of urbanisation and e-governance, NIDEM has developed expertise in training officers in the fields of solid waste management, RTI, Public-Private Partnership, developmental planning, public health, the gender issues etc. Besides training, the officers and staff of Defence Estates Organization, NIDEM also trains the officers of the wings of Defence services on land-related issues and Cantonment matters.

Two Regional Training Centers at Dehradun Cantt. and Dehu Road Cantt is also imparting training to the Officers and staff of Cantonment Boards and Defence Estates Offices.

The Institute is also operating the National Land Records Modernisation Programme (NLRMP) Cell. The NLRM Programme is being funded by the Ministry of Rural Development for imparting training on survey technology to IAS and Revenue Officers of the State Governments.

Right now, there are 62 cantonments in 19 States with an area cover of 1,86,730 acres. Cantonment Boards are responsible for providing civic administration and implementing the Central Govt schemes of social welfare, public health, education, hygiene, safety, water supply, sanitation, urban renewal etc in the Cantonment areas.

Conclusion:

Proper Cadre management keeps the officers motivated to scale new heights and proper training gives the officers and staff, all the required skills to discharge their duties efficiently, effectively and ethically.

NIDEM’s efforts have been in imparting training to in-service officers of the defence forces and it will now be convenient to organise training programs for the officers of the Services more frequently.

Hello everyone, this is Sunil Kumar hailing from Kandoli Nagrota Jammu. Before sharing my story I would like to thanks SSBCRACK team as they have been a virtual guru for many aspirants. Many budding youth received guideline from this platform. Really praiseworthy work done by you, sir and team.

I feel ecstatic to inform you all that I have been recommended for Indian Army through CDSE entry 107 course at 32 SSB, Kapurthala, Punjab. The journey wasn’t easy up to this destination. I got screened out 3 times in a row, but every time I failed, I bounced back even with double Josh and worked even harder. Everyone face problems, that may be of any kind but the thing is how long we undergo the stress and ultimately get out of that stress with flying colors. Because if you want to shine like the sun, you have to burn like it. I never lost hope. I knew that I have a fierce passion to wear the uniform but somehow I was not able to project it at the appropriate time. Being a  State Board student I knew that my communications skills were not up to the mark. Indeed it was a gap and to fill that I joined my High School again, started giving lectures on general topics, just like lecturrete, other general topics of my interest, gave tutions. It changed my life entirely. I became more confident and bold in my views, level of thoughts and speech improved. Other things that I included was reading newspaper and books. 

My SSB was on 07 Dec 2017. 55 reported and 26 got screened in and ultimately 04 got recommended. Starting with screening wrote a realistic story, participated well in GD and got in. In psych wrote very practical things that I am capable of doing or think to do them in future.I wrote nothing out of my capability. Everything went well, attempted 57 WAT, 53 SRT, in TAT again wrote very simple, real-life happenings, so psyche was good.The best thing about the SSB is you made unexpected friends there that too of same thoughts, dreams. Every night after dinner we 26(special_26) sat together, enjoyed every single sec of those 4_5 days. In GTO-1 and GTO-2 I behaved very normally, calm and composed without worrying about results. Again everything went well including lecturrete, FGT, HGT, CT except military planning exercise where I would have done better. I was called for interview from the GTO ground. DEPUTY PRESIDENT took my interview I replied every single question with logic and truthfulness. He asked some personal questions too but I answered them very politely and logically. The interview went off for 45 minutes and it was pretty good.

In conference some basic questions were asked about the stay, food and suggestions if any and answerer them confidently. After that officer came in Uniform to give us motivational speech and trust me that charm of Olive green still flashes before my eyes, I still remember his words, what a gentleman he was. Then another officer came with the result. He started announcing the chest numbers, the result came, my dream come true and I was selected and that too in my last attempt.

ssb interview candidates 2018

The moment he took my chest no. tears started rolling down my cheeks, it was the first time in my life I cried for something positive, but I also felt bad for my friends who couldn’t make it that time, met with them and bid goodbye. Was declared medically fit. And Will be joining OTA in April. So, my dear folks, I would like to sum up with these words that it doesn’t matter at all, which school or University you belong, what matters is your perseverance and proper channelizing of your passion. If you are passionate about the uniform, for sure you will earn it one day. My dear folks wish you all the very best for your future ventures. Stars are likely to glitter on your shoulders too, yes on your shoulders who are reading this story. Loads of good luck, gentlemen. 

Thank you SSBcrack team and everyone. Love you all . sunilkumarhans24@gmail
