A Border Security Force jawan on Tuesday had his throat slit and eyes gouged out by Pakistani troops along the international border near Jammu. Official sources said the body of Head Constable Narender Kumar also bore three bullet wounds and it could only be retrieved from a spot ahead of the Indo-Pak fence after over six hours as the Pakistani side “did not respond” to the calls to maintain the sanctity of the frontier and ensure that the BSF search parties were not fired upon.
The Pakistan Rangers, the sources said, were asked to take part in a joint patrolling to trace the missing jawan, but they only came up to a point and cited waterlogging issues in the area that prevented them from undertaking a coordinated action. The BSF then waited for the sun to set and launched a “risky operation” to bring the jawan’s body back to the post. Officials in the security establishment said the incident of brutality with the jawan, probably a first at the IB, was taken “very seriously” by the government and the Ministry of External Affairs and the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) were also expected to take up the issue with their Pakistani counterparts.
A “high alert” has been issued across the entire IB and the Line of Control (LoC) in the wake of the brutal and “unprecedented” incident that took place in the Ramgarh sector.
The Border Security Force has lodged a strong complaint with its counterparts — the Pakistan Rangers.

Hello everyone. I am Gaurav Singh. Basically, I am from Auraiya district in UP but currently living in New Delhi. I have done my B.tech in EE from KNIT Sultanpur ( 2015 pass out ). To join forces was always my childhood dream. But after 12th I got crazy for the IIT so didn’t even applied for NDA. I feel it was the biggest mistake of my life. But fortunately, that childhood dream got wings during my college days where I again started thinking to appear in SSB. Recently I got recommended from 4 AFSB Varanasi for AFCAT 1 2018 Entry {AE(L), ADM, LGS}. Overall it was my 9th attempt. First attempt was in 2016 at AFSB Dehradun where I got conference out. After that, I went to Gandhinagar Allahabad Bhopal Varanasi for AFCAT and CDS entries where I got conference out 4 times and screened out 4 times. SSB Interview Preparation Material [ 100% Recommended]
Recently I had my SSB on 20th August at AFSB Varanasi. I reached on 18th at one of my friends in IIT BHU. Next day I went to write AFCAT 2 2018. Finally, on 20th morning, I reached Varanasi Cantt station. There was a huge gathering as usual. 172 candidates reported in which 74 got screened in. For screening, in my opinion apart from OIR and GD, the narration is the key part. Do bold, crisp and confident narration within the given time. After screening, I got chest no. 65. There were 10 candidates in my group. After some documents verification and 2 hours break, there were psychological tests from 6 to 9 PM. I wrote simple stories in TAT. Some related to current events like Kerala flood, the insurgency in J&K. I did 59 WAT and 54 SRTs. In WAT, try to write small sentences because they don’t even give 15 seconds to write it. In SRTs, although quality matters more than quantity but tries to write as much as possible. The reason is you would present more content to showcase your OLQs to the psychologist. SD was previously prepared so I wrote it within 10 minutes and gave extra time to correct incomplete words in WAT. Next day I had nothing to do. No interview No GT. I enjoyed the sports facilities available there like TT, Billiards, Pool, Volleyball. I used to enjoy every game although only Cricket is my cup of tea. But SSB is the only place where u got the chance to learn new games free of cost ?. Next day I had my interview with one serious Sardar Ji. He didn’t ask any rapid fire questions. My interview was totally one to one question answer. He started the interview by asking me at which number I played in my college cricket team and why I didn’t play at number 1 as an opener. He argued with me on this for about 6-7 minutes. Then he asked normal family Friends teachers related questions where u should answer by having PIQ and SD in back of your mind. Later he asked Various questions of GK related to the south China Sea, North-South Korea, Indian Airforce, it’s participation in various Wars and operations, questions related to President of India and his hometown & education etc. I answered many of them and where I didn’t know answers, I said Sorry sir, I don’t know. Never try to guess random answers. It gives a very negative impact. Always be specific.
On day 4, we had our GT first round. I gave various points in GD. Always be polite and calm in GD. Don’t try to dominate the group. In GPE, it was all chaos. I wrote the solution in a priority wise. In PGT whole group performed well. It was my first SSB where my group reached till the finish line of the last obstacle. I gave many workable ideas during PGT. Try to use every helping material. Every structure has 2-3 ways to cross it. Try to find those solutions. In HGT, only I gave an idea to cross obstacle and the group accepted that idea. The lecture was normal. Always be highly active during snake race. GTO always have eyes on every Candidate.
On day 5, initially, we had remaining GT. In command task, he asked me to stand on a structure inside a circle and to find solutions to come out of the circle. He increased the difficulty level but I gave solutions every time quickly. I did 9 individual obstacles and also gave idea in FGT. After GT, most of the group members were saying that I performed very good in GT. But I was not confident of recommendation because my interview didn’t go very good. Even I performed better in my earlier interviews in other SSBs.
During the conference, I waited for around 20 minutes outside the conference hall. After 20 minutes, 4-5 officers came out and went here and there for washroom etc. I was shocked as I felt that since last 20 minutes they were taking a break and now they will start discussing me. Anyway, bell rings. I went inside. Board President asked me about the place Hauz Khas in Delhi where I used to live. He asked why it is famous. Which monument is famous. The first idea came to my mind about Hauz Khas village ( Night Club and Pub area ?? ) but I told him about some Delhi Sultanate era. After that, he asked me to leave. My conference hardly went for 40 seconds.
Finally DSO came to announce results. He started by telling stories of Abdul kalam, Amitabh bacchan of their SSB failure. I was bored of listening to these stories again and again in every SSB. It always gives the feeling of rejection . Finally, he announced results. Chest no. 42, chest no. 45 and last but not the least chest no. 65. Friends, it was the moment which I can’t express here in words. I was on seven heaven. Everybody was clapping. My group mates were cheering. I was rechecking my chest number to reassure that It is not mistaken. Finally, DSO congratulated us and left. Later, in 2-3 hours documentation finished. And then I left for IIT BHU again but this time IAF officer’s Gypsy dropped me at station.
On 10th September I had my medical at AFCME Delhi in which I got declared medically fit. It was wonderful stay at Camero Officer’s mess. Enjoyed a lot with new friends. I want to thank my family and parents who always supported me. I also want to thank many friends including Flt Cadet ManasRanjan, Capt Harshit, GC Rajveer, Chetan, Amit Lambu, Mahima, Saurabh, Anish, Abhishek and of course SSBCrack who always motivated and supported me during this journey. Thank you. Jai Hind.
Indian armed forces are trying out a new system of officer selection to bring the selection process in tune with the changing job requirement of a modern military officer while allowing them to better assess the newer generation of aspirants. The new selection system once approved, will be implemented from 2019. It is being called as “De Novo Selection Process” which means, ‘A Fresh/New Approach to Selection Process’. SSB Interview Preparation Material [ 100% Recommended]
The existing Services Selection Board (SSB), in vogue since 1948, is a five-day long process for officer selection which includes an interview, group testing and psychological testing of the aspirants. Candidates who are called for the SSB without having passed a UPSC written exam are administered a screening test on the first day. Qualifying on the screening test is mandatory for the candidates to take further tests.
Formal education is not as important for a military officer of the future as the ability to adapt, learn, unlearn and relearn repeatedly and comprehensively. It is about the modern mind, not the traditional mindset. The new ‘De Novo Selection System’, which has been designed by DRDO’s Defence Institute of Psychological Research (DIPR) lab over five years, will accomplish the SSB testing in three days.
In the existing system, there is nothing wrong ‘per-se’, except that it takes longer and maybe we can speed it up. Some of the suggestions which have been gathering dust at the Army HQ include the following:
Have the screening done online (similar to GRE etc). Can be done once a quarter, with an individual getting three chances.
Get the Psych tests done online too as the Psychologist never meets any candidate.
Call the individuals who clear screening and Psyche Tests for GTO, Interview and Conference.
This will cut down the time by half. There are also other ways to reduce time further, but it should not be reduced to less than 2½ days. Hence, the process is 3 days long.
The new system is being trialed at an SSB at Bangalore for two years, running in parallel with the existing tests. The aspirants who are regular readers of SSBCrack and who were there and witnessed the tests in Bangalore and Bhopal, gave us an insight of the testing process of De Novo Selection System.
The test will be held in two stages – Stage 1 and Stage 2 as similar to the current process.
The Stage 1 testing will be a screening test which will be held near a candidate’s home at a specified test centre, just like the regular CETs. After the completion of stage 1 and selection, the candidates will be called for stage 2 at any of the existing selection centres.
Stage 2 selection will have three testing techniques, namely Interview, Psych and GTO. However, the procedure is a little different.
In Psychological Tests, TAT is replaced by SAT or Situation Apperception Test. It is same as TAT – you will be shown a picture and you have to write a story based on it in 4 minutes. However, the number of pictures is reduced to 9 instead of 12. It is followed by a new procedure of WAT in which there will only be 45 words displayed. It will be followed by 2 sets of SRTs – SAT(A) and SAT(V). Situation Assessment Test (Affect) and Situation Assessment Test (Values) are two tests that replace SRT. There are 36 + 18 situations in total for the two tests. There is no SDT for the new selection procedure.
Day 2:
In the GTO series, there are 2 rounds of GD, followed by a GPE, being called as Combined Situation Planning (CSP). It is followed by Outdoor Task Execution 1 (OTE 1) which resembles PGT and OTE 2 which resembles HGT. It is then followed by a mix of IO and GOR which is called Combined Obstacle Course (COC). Finally, the test culminates with a Leadership Situation (LS) that resembles Command Task. There is no Lecturette and FPGT in De Novo process.
Interview:
Interview is held on either day 1 or day 2 after the completion of the test of the day. The interview is similar to the current process with just minor changes.
Day 3:
The final day of the De Novo process is a final board conference where the findings of IO, GTO and Psych will be discovered and based on that candidate will be recommended or not.
Conclusion:
The De Novo Selection System is likely to be implemented at all SSBs in 2019. By reducing the period of SSB testing to three days, the new system will also help in making up for shortages by allowing a greater number of candidates to be tested.
We often wonder what is special about the candidates who get selected in SSB interview. Success sure is something we all want, and it is quite natural to look upon somebody who has attained it. So, I Indrajeet Sachin from Munger, Bihar recommended for IMA-146 course from 22 SSB Bhopal through this article want to share my experience of SSB how I got successful in the toughest interview of India. It’s very truly said that success belongs to those who actually strive for it. And these words truly depict their meaning in my case. How the failure in one SSB completely transformed me which later on gave me the chance to live my life’s dream. SSB Interview Preparation Material [ 100% Recommended]
My first experience of SSB was at 21 SSB Bhopal for IMA-145 entry. I had been selected for appearing at SSB after clearing my UPSC CDS Exam. I gave my best at the SSB but unfortunately, I did not get recommended then.
“Some goals are so worthy that it’s even glorious to fail” I actually felt this. It is very rightly said that it requires a lot of effort and sheer dedication to get through in SSB. Although I was not selected but the entire experience of the SSB helped me a lot. And before I forget I would like to mention the efforts of my bhaiya Lt.Colonel Kumar Nisant and Fuferi Bhabhi Major Shivani who played a significant role in motivating me and gave in their all to guide me.
The life turning moment came when I cleared the UPSC CDS Exam for the second time and was selected to appear for the SSB once again. This time it was 22 SSB Bhopal. Although the selection center was the same but the thing which was not the same was my perspective. This time attitude was different, the determination was more firm and confidence was running through my veins.“Perseverance always helps” as said by someone and I have seen it come true.
Now comes the whole of my SSB journey:
Psychology Test
I had chosen my SSB dates such that I had almost a month’s time for preparation in which I practiced lots of TAT, WAT, SRT which helped me a lot over there. I wrote all the 12 stories more or less projecting my qualities through the protagonist. In WAT I somehow managed to write 59 sentences. In SRT I could only do 48. Self-description is a very important part and needs to be written with full honesty and I can say being honest and true is always fruitful.
INTERVIEW
Right after my Psychology test, I was scheduled for my interview and I was going to be interviewed by the Commandant of the SSB himself. I kept myself composed. The interview went really smooth. Apart from few questions that were related to GK which I was not able to give I answered rest of the questions very confidently with full honesty. This time I could really feel the difference in my answers so I can say my interview went amazingly good.
GTO
Since my group was very helpful and cooperative all the group tasks like PGT, HGT, GOR, FGT went really well. Lecturette part was also good as I was able to give a good lecture.I did 11 Individual Obstacles and the best part was the Command Task which I finished very fast and that too from three different sides. I can say I was feeling very much confident after the GTO tasks were over. I had given everything in each and every task with full dedication.
BOARD CONFERENCE
I was nervous as to what would happen. The only thought that was revolving in my mind was that this day can change my entire life and that what really happened.
On my turn, I went inside the conference hall. They asked me about my thoughts about my performance including some hard and rigid questions of science. At last, they asked me about my stay at SSB and my suggestion before wishing me good luck.
THE RESULT PART
One of our Psychologist declared the result after giving the closing address. And I can say what a moment it was when my chest number was called out. I really could not believe it, but it was the reality. I had made it to the recommendation. The dream that was knitted when I was hardly 8 years old when I used to see my Fufa Colonel Kunwar Singh and the army life which motivated me to take up this service as my career, I could actually see it being converted to reality.
A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work…One needs to realise this so as to succeed in SSB as every champion was once a contender who refused to give up. At last I would like to extend my deepest regards to God,my Parents, ,my relatives and specially my Grandfather Advocate Godhan Prasad Singh and to each and everyone who was always by my side during the prepration and its the combined efforts of them that today I have made it to the one of the most coveted services of India.
Like every other defence aspirant I used to read all the success stories of recommended candidates. It might seem exaggerated but SSBCrack was the only reason for me being on Instagram. As, along with dedication and practice, motivation is the strength which helps you get along all the ups & downs of your journey and SSBCrack kept me motivated. This is going to be a very long post as I’ve been waiting since the very beginning of my NDA preparations for this one post. Before sharing my experience let me give you my brief introduction. I am Shubham Chaudhari from Pune recommended for NDA-Air force (Flying branch) in my 1st SSB attempt. SSB Interview Preparation Material [ 100% Recommended]
It was obvious being an Army brat to have a deep interest in serving the Indian Armed Forces. My father Sub Ramakant Chaudhari has been the biggest source of motivation to me. He served in the 1st Para Special Forces and was a part of multiple major operations. He spent countless hours working together with the gallant officers such as Maj. Mohit Sharma,Maj. Sandeep Unnikrishnan, Maj. Udai Singh, Capt. R Subramanian to name a few. My father himself was wounded by a bullet in Operation Dumblor (which was a part of Op. Rakshak) in Tral Sector of Pulwama district. He also served as an NSG commando. Hence, I was raised in an environment which fostered my interest towards the armed forces.
Starting with my SSB experience, I received 1 AFSB, Dehradun as my SSB centre and I left from Pune on 3rd Aug 2018 accompanied by my father (who retired from service on 31st July 2018). I reached Ambala Cantt on 5th August early morning. From there we left for Nahan, Himachal Pradesh which is home to 1st Para SF, a place which holds major part of my childhood memories. We met all of my father’s colleagues. We spent a day there & reached Dehradun on 5th August at 2100 hours. It was raining heavily and somehow we managed to get a room. The next morning, I got up early and reached to see a total of 266 candidates all dressed up neatly at Dehradun MCO. Buses from the centre arrived to pick us up.We were served complimentary breakfast after headcount, brief document check & general instructions were announced. We were then allotted Chest numbers and soon the testing started.
DAY-1 (Screening & Psychological Tests)
After briefing the candidates about the OIR test the officer announced the commencement of test. The OIR Test comprises of 2 booklets having 50 questions each and the allotted time for each booklet is 30 mins (though the time given was less than 30 mins). I managed to completely solve both the booklets.
We then moved to ‘ ALAKNANDA Hall ‘ for Picture Perception & Description Test (PPDT). A very hazy picture was shown to us & we were asked to frame a story within 4 minutes with proper description of the characters. Followed by a Group Discussion (GD) in groups of 15 to narrate and discuss our stories to come to a common conclusion (Coming to a conclusion was quite difficult as each member of the group had a completely different perception of the picture).
After lunch, the results were announced and 109 candidates out of 266 were screened in. Then we all went through a very long document verification process, we all also handed over our phones. We were then asked to move our luggage to the allotted rooms. Where we rested for an hour and were asked to assemble for Psychological Testing. We were done with the Psychological Tests by 2300 hours ( I managed to complete 48 WATs,58 SRTs, all 12 TATs, and the SDT). We were then made to fill 2 PIQ forms.
We had our dinner at 2330 hours and with this Day 1 came to a satisfactory end.
DAY-2 (INTERVIEW)
Being in the 1st group of candidates to be interviewed, we were asked to assemble in the Anteroom at sharp 0700 hours. In order to ensure I’m not late and everything is ready including my documents, I decided to skip my Breakfast for that day. Around 1000 hours my chest number flashed on the screen and I headed with my documents towards the Interview Room. My Interview with the Interviewing Officer lasted for an hour. He asked me questions from all walks of life. The questions were majorly based on what I’ve mentioned in Personal Information Questionnaire (PIQ ) form.Apart from that ample amount of questions from current affairs, General Awareness and Defence were asked. This was the gist of my Day 2 and I’d say that I left the Interview room with a sense of contentment.
We then spent the rest of the day binge-watching movies in the TV Room and playing Pool and Table Tennis.
Day 3 caused a stir among all my group members as we were to undergo our GTO tasks today. We all got up early & were ready on time ensuring all the details are followed meticulously. We were then taken to a room where our Group Testing Officer(GTO) briefed us about the schedule of all the tasks. The testing started with Group Discussion (GDs) followed by GPE. Each and every member of the group was there to speak and not to listen. In such a scenario it is of utmost importance that you calmly prepare a strategy & don’t let the group members deviate from the common goal.
Then we were taken to the Group Testing Area for Outdoor Tasks. First was Progressive Group Task (PGT) followed by all the remaining tasks Half Group Task(HGT), Command Task(CT), Lecturette, Full Group Task (FGT), etc. I ensured that I actively participated in each and every move of the group and made sure that no one is left behind. I gave valuable inputs throughout the testing which were appreciated by all. And thus we managed to cross all the obstacles and performed really well as a group. I was called as a subordinate 4 times by my group members during the Command Task. At the time of my Command Task the GTO kept increasing the intensity of the obstacles and asked me to come up with alternate solutions. But I managed to complete the task in time. By 1500 hours our group was done with the testing and we all were free for the day.
In the evening we were asked to assemble in front of the Auditorium. We were then showed the NDA documentary “My Life, My Flag” which was indeed one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen on NDA.
No testing was to be done for our group on this day. In the evening a trip to Indian Military Academy (IMA) was scheduled for all the candidates. We were highly delighted to see the picturesque beauty of IMA. We saw the IMA war memorial, Capt Vikram Batra Mess, Salaria Aquatic Centre, etc. The sight of the well dressed GCs made us long to be there someday.
DAY-5 ( Conference )
Then comes the D-DAY. We all dressed up wearing our best set of formals. After having Breakfast we were all made to sit in the Alaknanda Hall. When it was my chance to enter the conference hall, I was made to wait for a good 8-10 mins and then I was asked to enter the hall. I took a deep breath and entered the room and to my astonishment I saw around 25-30 Air Force Personnel dressed up in their uniforms, sitting in a semi-circular arrangement. The panel comprised of IOs, GTOs, Psychologists, Deputy President, and the President.
The Deputy President then asked me to take my seat. I greeted them and the conference began. The Conference went on for 4-5 mins. They asked my opinions on various adages. They then asked me about my stay and also asked for suggestions. They then wished me luck and my Conference was over.
After Lunch, results were announced and out of 109 candidates, only 8 got recommended. I never realized, it would take another 5-6 hours to fill out/. the forms after getting recommended. At 2000 hours we were finally free.
DAY- 6 (CPSS)
1st Test ( Cognitive Abilities )
All the recommended candidates were to undergo CPSS (Computerised Pilot Selection System) today. We all were asked to assemble in front of APJ Abdul Kalam Azad CPSS Hall. The test had 2 parts. The 1st part was an MCQ test. Out of 9 (1 candidate from another center) of us, only 4 managed to clear 1st stage, I being one of them.
2nd Test (PSYCHOMOTOR Testing)
After the 1st test, we were made to sit in a CPSS machine which is like a cockpit with a joystick, pedal and a lever ( like in an aircraft) with a screen in front of us. We were then made to play a number of games and the combined score is then calculated.
After the tests, the 4 of us were eagerly waiting for the results since one can give CPSS only once in the lifetime. The CPSS Testing Officer then announced the results saying only 1 out of 4 has cleared the CPSS examination. He walked towards me, shook hands with me and said “Enjoy Flying”.
Since I was the only one selected for Air Force I was asked to report at AFCME, Delhi the next day while my friends were asked to reach Bhopal on a later date for their medicals.
My medicals went on for 8 days and I was declared fit for all the three services. And thus the journey came to an end. A journey which gave me memories that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life,a memory which in hard times will make me realise that YES! I have it in me J
MY ADVICE TO SSB ASPIRANTS
“Be Natural, be positive and be a team player”
Your personality as depicted by the Psychologist, the GTO and what you tell about yourself to the IO should be consistent. Thus, any mismatch may mean rejection. So, be what you are. If you have any weakness or negative point, don’t hesitate to mention it. And don’t ever try to fake during the SSB, the selection process is so exhaustive that they’ll surely dig the real YOU out.

Source: indianexpress: Two people were arrested for allegedly hacking into the Indian Air Force (IAF)’s online exam to recruit non-commissioned officers in Rohtak, police said Saturday. The accused persons managed to get remote access to computers used in the examination by setting up a parallel system at a private hospital adjacent to the exam centre on Hisar-Rohtak road, according to Jagbir Singh, the SHO of Rohtak city police station. The fraudsters were answering the questions with the help of experts while the candidates were siting idle, he said. SSB Interview Preparation Material [ 100% Recommended]
Five computers were hacked, the SHO said, adding that the exam was to be held from September 13 to 16. The exam was being conducted by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, which had outsourced it to another agency, Singh said.
A fibre cable was laid from the exam centre to the first floor of an adjacent private hospital, he said. In the hospital, five men were found sitting with their laptops and sending exam questions to experts, the SHO said. Two people, including the invigilator of the outsourced agency, were arrested, he said, adding that they were identified as Jatinder Siwach and Sahil. The accused persons used to charge Rs 3.50 to Rs 6 lakh from the aspirants. According to the police, a few other people were also involved in the incident.
Among those who are absconding are J S Dahiya, a retired principal of ITI Jhajjar, his partner Sanjay Ahlawat, who runs a competitive exams coaching centre, Hardik, Sombir and Aditya, who runs a computer company in Gurgaon, Singh said.
Hello everyone, I am Ashish Kumar Singh. I am basically from Bihar but I live in Mumbai. I have done my BE in Electronics and telecom from Mumbai University (2017 pass out). I have worked in an MNC for 6 months. Joining the forces was always a passion. I got my first call for SSB through UES navy but got screened out. After that got recommended in 3rd attempt though CDSE Navy. Got recommended in Airforce then through AFCAT. Lastly for Army through SSC tech-51. I will elaborate on my experience from the SSC tech SSB because it was one of the trickiest one. On the very first day around 350 candidates reported(nervous as hell!). The picture in the PPDT was very simple with few men standing in a queue. I gave a couple of points and in the results, only 25 candidates were screened in. I was lucky enough to get through.

On 2nd day, we had the psychology tests which were also as usual. I attempted all the WAT and SRT ’s. In TAT, wrote the stories related to the life events I had experienced. In SDT, the one who knows himself well performs the best.
On 3rd and 4th day, we had our GTO where our group in PGT got a difficult task and thus we could complete 3 out of 4. HGT was relatively easier where we completed it quickly. I gave some working ideas during the tasks which helped me. Always be a constructive member of the group. Give practical solutions which will always work in favour. In the command task, I was given a task where I had to enter a rounded area and come out of it using a different way. After I completed it GTO sir told me to find one more alternative to come out of the rounded area. I somehow managed to find it as well. In the GPE, there was a complete chaos in our group as no one was ready to accept each others solutions. I tried to calm everyone down and thus could not give many points. These are the important tasks in GTO.
As far as GD and Lecture is concerned, I only gave a considerable amount of points which were enough. Try to give new points and do not repeat yourself in the GD and also never ever try to shout in GD.
My interview was held on 4th day where I was interviewed by Commandant Sir of SSB Bhopal(I was in 22ssb). The interview started with a rapid-fire about myself. Then he asked about my previous attempts and how I prepared for the interview. After the starters, the main interview started where he loaded me with a bunch of General awareness and technical questions. I answered around 80% of the questions. Knowledge is what matters in the interview. The interview lasted for about 45 mins.
On the evening of the 4th day we all went around Bhopal and enjoyed before the conference. In the conference, he asked me about the places I visited in Bhopal and asked to rate my performance. And finally the results came and my chest number was there. Made some amazing friends there and it all came to an end.
What I learned from all these SSB’s is that a holistic approach is a key. You need to be a complete person who thinks rationally and have sound decision-making skills. Finally, I would like to mention some of my friends who helped me through this journey. Sudhakar, Rajneesh, Vishal, Rahul. Cheers Guys. Good luck Aspirants. Keep trying because the fruit will be totally worth the efforts!!
Source: telegraphindia : Police have constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the alleged question paper leak of National Defence Academy (NDA) examination which was conducted on Sunday. The Patna police have arrested a candidate, Saurav Anand, who had entered the examination centre, AN College, with an Android phone. Anand had appeared for the test and had used his mobile phone to click photographs of the question paper for both the sittings. The boy after clicking the photographs had circulated it in a group. Patna senior superintendent of police (SSP) Manu Maharaaj said: “The issue is serious as the boy had clicked photographs of the question paper in the first sitting and circulated in a group. He was caught doing the same in the second sitting.” A joint secretary-rank officer from Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), Delhi, visited Patna to meet senior police officers after the alleged question paper leak. The officer also visited AN College. SSB Interview Preparation Material [ 100% Recommended]
Mobile phone and other electronic gadgets are banned in examination centres. Police sources said the role of the college employees and district administration officials is also under the scanner. The jammer of the college too failed to detect the use of mobile phone. Sources said the boy had taken the mobile phone inside the examination centre hiding it in his underwear.
Anand was arrested and a case has been lodged against him at SK Puri police station. Sources said the boy has made some important disclosures during police interrogation. The police have also found the mobile number of six persons from Anand’s number. According to police sources, the alleged paper leak incident smacks of a racket worth crores, as there could be many people involved in it. A police officer said: “Anand is a small fish as main conspirators are from Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. After the arrest of Anand, the Delhi police and Varanasi police had conducted raids in several places.”
The NDA examination is conducted by the UPSC for recruitment of candidates to the Army, Navy and Air Force and the test is held twice in the months of April and September. As the paper leak is of NDA examination, not only the Patna police but also the home ministry is interested in the case.
In another development, the Patna police have arrested a certain Manu Prasad for allegedly running a job racket in the building construction department. Manu, from Katri Sarai in Nalanda, in the name of providing jobs for the post of assistant engineer at the building construction department, had duped several persons by taking Rs 10,000 to Rs 60,000 from candidates.
The SSP said: “After the arrest of Manu we are looking for other gang members as there are several people involved in the racket.” Sources said there are 35 members in the gang.
