Army Chief General Bipin Rawat on Monday awarded Major Leetul Gogoi for his sustained efforts in counter-insurgency operations in Jammu and Kashmir.
Gogoi had shot to fame in social media after he tied a stone-pelter to a jeep in order to thwart violent protesters from targeting a security convoy.
That action had reportedly helped save over a dozen people.
Major Leetul Gogoi has been awarded COAS Commendation Card for sustained efforts during counter-insurgency operations in Jammu and Kashmir, the Army said in a statement.
He had received strong support from BJP MP from Mysuru-Kodagu Pratap Simha for his action.
Calling for a nationwide campaign in support of Gogoi, the BJP MP tweeted, “If any kind of action is initiated against brave Maj Gogoi, let’s start a nationwide campaign to support him.” The incident drew positive reactions on social media where he received a lot of support.
Major Gogoi, 38, hails from Assam. His father is a farmer.
He reportedly joined the force at the age of 18 and served as a jawan in the 3rd Battalion of Assam Regiment. He then moved to Dehradun-based Army Cadet College (ACC) to become an officer.
Gogoi was commissioned as a lieutenant in December 2008. The army service corps (ASC) officer volunteered to serve with the Rashtriya Rifles in Kashmir. The ASC provides logistics support, ranging from supplies to transport, to the army.
Hello I’m Vaibhav Krishna! In light of my recent success at the SSB Interview, I would like to take this opportunity to help fellow defence aspirants by sharing my story on how I got recommended in the SSB Interview. I was recommended in my first attempt from 17 SSB Bangalore for OTA, through the combined defense services entry.
A little background about myself. I passed out from college in 2015 after doing BBA, followed by which I worked at a startup personalized vacations company called PickYourTrail, for about a year. Working at a startup has umpteen benefits which help and shape you as a person. I’m glad my employers there, supported me a lot. From March 2016 I gave dedicated preparation for Combined Defense Services Exam and the Air Force Common Admission Test, both which I successfully cleared. My first SSB Interview date was April 8th 2017, but due to my playing in the Chennai 3rd Division Football League, I could not attend the regular batch, and ended up reporting on May 14th 2017, for the absentee batch.
The SSB Interview Preparation Strategy
I knew I’d encounter plenty of bright students in the interview due to this being a UPSC Entry. Anyway, I just stayed updated with current affairs, and practiced the various tests weekly once, with other aspirants and friends namely Abirami, Varsha and Ritanshu. I came across Commodore NK Natarajan’s SSB interview book and DVDs series, and thought I’d use this as a guide. It gave me a clear view on what to expect at each level of the 5 day process. This enabled me to devote and channel my time to areas where I felt work was needed. Sir has worked as a group testing officer in the SSB Board, and in his DVD tutorials, has spoken about each of the intricacies involved in each test. Coaching is NOT NEEDED. Save your 10-15K.
14th May
We were asked to report at Bangalore city station by 2pm. I left Chennai early morning and reached on time. When I saw the other candidates, I started mingling and making friends immediately. I love speaking to different kinds of people, and it was nice to meet fresher’s, as well as guys reporting for their 15th SSB Interview attempt! An army bus came by 3pm. I was sent on top of the bus and helped put the entire luggage atop the bus. It was fun: p and tiring as well. We reached the SSB Board, and it was a beautiful place with greenery all around. It was also the first time I saw uniformed army officers in person. Anyway, we were all made to fill plenty of documents, and by about 6, we were shown to our hostel. We had dinner and slept.
Day 1 (OIR and PPDT)
We had breakfast at 5:45am, and had our first test of stage 1. The Officer Intelligence Rating Test. It was fairly simple. Next, we had the Picture Perception and Discussion Test in which we were shown a blurry picture and asked to write and narrate a story on it. My written story was very poor I felt, as I just couldn’t make up my mind on a story. By the time the narration began, I well modified my story and narrated really well. The results were announced in about 3-4 hours, in which 21 got screened in for the rest of the 4 days. I was relieved to get through that.
Day 2 (Psychological Tests and Personal Interview)
The psychology stage was a highly stressful test in which our psychology is tested with different tests like WAT, TAT, SRT and Self-Description Test. This was my strong point, and I suggest aspirants to not delve too much into these tests while practicing, as it could hamper your original personality. Be as natural as possible for these tests. It should come from within. The tests got over in 2.5 hours. I had my interview in a while with the deputy president of the board. He was a Colonel who was very friendly with me and incredibly knowledgeable. He knew everything in depth about the various hobbies of mine, as well as everything else I mentioned in my PIQ Form. Interview went on for about 25mins, and was average I felt.
Day 3 (GTO day 1)
We were divided into 3 groups of 7 each for the group tests. These tests basically check how well you perform in a group, and it sees your leadership a lot too. Natural leaders would automatically emerge here. I had a terrific group here, which worked well together in most of our tests. I was looking forward to this day a lot due to the Group Discussion and Lecturette part. These two were my strengths. It went very well for me. We had the Progressive Group Task in which we are given various tools like a plank, rope and a long pole like structure, and we are supposed to get across some obstacles using that. It’s based on the concept of bridging and cantilever. We were then divided into half, for the Half Group Task, similar to the PGT. Then came the Snake Race, which went diabolical for my group. Our teamwork was poor and no planning done. We finished last. In the Group Planning Exercise, everything went smoothly with great cooperation. Remember, if your team doesn’t cooperate well here, you make sure you show good character here. Don’t give up.
Day 4 (GTO day 2)
On this day, we were taken to the ground again and had 3 tests left. The Individual Obstacles, Final Group Task and the Command Task. In the individual Obstacles, we were given 3 minutes and shown 10 different Obstacles, and told to do as many as we could in the time period. I did 9 of them, with some injuries as well: p. The Final Group Task, similar to PGT was done in about a minute by our team. The Command Task is where each candidate is given an option to call 2 other members from his group as subordinates to complete obstacles with the help of planks and ropes and a pole. This was okay for me, but I had to use the advice of my subordinate, when I got stuck at a place.
Day 5 (Conference)
A very serious stage in which each candidate is put in a room full of uniformed officers and asked a few questions from either the President or Deputy. Mine went on for about 4 minutes and went well. The results were announced in 2 hours and 7 of us were recommended. When I heard my chest number (03) called out, I heaved a sigh of relief rather than excitement. 4 of us were fresher’s, and 3 repeaters. We were given new chest numbers with a plus on it. Overall, I’d say my performance was an 8/10, but I gave it my best. Do make friends with everyone. This well help you a lot, trust me. And always show the never give up attitude in tests where you feel you’re slacking off. I have medicals a week later, and I’m hoping it all goes well. Thank you 🙂
Three days after a cadet died of cardiac arrest at the Indian Naval Academy in Kerala, two of his seniors have been booked for abetment to suicide. In a note that Gudeppa Sooraj reportedly left behind, he has accused two senior cadets of harassing him. His family alleged that he was forced to cheat in his exams since he could not prepare as a result of harassment by seniors.
The police found the suicide note hours after Sooraj was found in an unconscious state at the academy in Ezhimala on Wednesday. He was shifted to the navy hospital and given resuscitation but could not be revived. He later died of two cardiac arrests at a government medical college where he was again shifted to.
Hours before he was found unconscious, the cadet was caught cheating in end of term exam. He was reported to the internal committee in the afternoon and by evening, he was found unconscious. Sooraj, a resident of Malappuram, had joined the navy as a sailor when he was 18 years old.
His family claims that he had cleared his exams for officer’s training but was dismissed by the academy for cheating in 2015. He had then taken the Navy to court and was reinstated as per court orders. His family alleges that ever since he was reinstated, he was harassed and tortured by senior cadets. While the academy deemed it a case of accidental death, the suicide note has changed the course of the investigation. Two senior cadets have been booked for abetment to suicide. The Southern Naval Academy has also called for an inquiry.
Hello everyone, myself Chandresh Singh and got recommended from 11 SSB Allahabad for NCC 42 men in my 10th attempt, I would like to share my success story with you guys at ssbcrack.com
In all previous 9 attempts which I attended since NDA 2 2012, I was conferenced out 4 times and 5 times screened out, last two being screened out which kind of demotivated me but self-believe and never give up attitude kept me going.
So, cutting it short I would just like to mention what different I did this time from previous attempts. First of all I had prepared myself strongly with a second career option to be practical. I used to make my friends conduct the interview over call repeatedly, whenever my girlfriend visited me, I took her interview first so that she can have some idea what kind of questions she can ask me in my interview, so with this I was confident of my interview part along with rigorous preparation on current affairs.
Coming to GTO part, I had practiced speaking on around 150 topics which gave me enough knowledge and confidence that I can speak on anything and anytime. I feel that if you can make lecturette as your weapon then you are tough to be stopped.
Now, as everyone knows what goes in those 5 days, I would like to mention that this time I did not go with the intention that I have to get recommended, but yes I had decided that I have to perform at my peak without worrying about recommendation, because performance will only will help. In GDs I kept calm and gave important inputs whenever I could and tried to be a active member of group, I never tried to prove that I am your leader or anything of that sort. Same thing with GPE, I have my points whenever I could.
Coming to PGT, I love these obstacle grounds and I am dam sure that no one can be better than me at it(not boasting but I really love it). So that part went swiftly. Now comes the lecturette, I spoke on BRICS, I spoke well on it and later my group friends also appreciated me for it.
Then comes my interview, it all started with a question “so Chandresh, what were you doing in the waiting room from past half an hour?” I told him that I was going through times of India headlines, then he asked me what I read in that, then I explained him in detail about UNHRC asking NHRC about why Indian army is using pellet gun in Jammu and Kashmir, he was satisfied by my answer. Next, comes 2-3 rapid fire rounds, I answered almost all. He asked me if you can’t make it in army, what are your alternative career options?, I said sir I am preparing for CAPF and IAS, after this he asked me 13-14 GK and current affairs just to check if I was really preparing for these exams and I answered all except one partial answer. So he was again convinced by my point. So overall the interview was very good and I felt that I had impressed my IO by being logical in everything.
Now the final day ”conference, we were asked to report by 8 in 11 SSB BOARD ALLAHABAD, conference started, when my turn came, I had to wait for around 7-8 minutes and that was the time I though you have a chance this time Chandresh, my friend(Shavan Pandey who also got recommended) sitting behind me said the same thing. Now as I entered the conference room, I wished my interviewing officer who was the president of the board saying “jai hind sir”, he asked me to sit and started with “did you miss any question in interview?” I replied yes sir, and completed the partial answer which I had given previously in my interview. New he asked me to rate my all three tests psychology, interview and GTO, I rated according to my analysis. Then he asked me a question of speed and distance, first I answered roughly, but he wanted me to be precise, I asked him one minute time, I calculated and told him the precise answer. Then he just asked me some formal questions like how was the stay and any improvement in system.
After 15 minutes, our results were ready, one major came in with a white paper in his hand. We three of us were recommended, when he called out my chest no, it was really unbelievable for me but I knew one day I will have to experience this feeling, it was like dream come true for me, we rushed towards luggage and broke the news to my family who were hungrily waiting for the news. Now medicals done, all fit, just waiting for merit list and hoping for a bright future ahead with Indian army!!!!!

Who is Major Gogoi? Gogoi, 38, hails from rural Assam. His father is a farmer. Army sources said he enlisted in the force at the age of 18 and served as a jawan in the 3rd Battalion of Assam Regiment for nearly nine years before joining the Dehradun-based Army Cadet College (ACC) to become an officer.
Soldiers are groomed to become officers at the ACC for three years before they are packed off for a one-year course to the Indian Military Academy in the hill town. Gogoi was commissioned as a lieutenant in December 2008. The army service corps (ASC) officer volunteered to serve with the Rashtriya Rifles in Kashmir. The ASC provides logistics support, ranging from supplies to transport, to the army.
How Major Leetul Gogoi Saved Many Lives That Day
The video is of 9th April. The location is Budgam in Kashmir. One of the police booth was targeted in Budgam on the election day on 9th April. The ITBP and Jammu and Kashmir personnel were guarding a polling booth. When the polling was almost over, a mob of about 900 stone pelters attacked the personnel guarding the booth. Eye witnesses said that they were not pelting just stones.They in fact had huge boulders in their hand which they were throwing at the ITBP and J&K Police. They wanted to prevent the people from casting their votes, said a person who witnessed the incident. What is to be noted here is that there were only 9 security personnel to guard the polling booth. It was 9 versus 900. The ITBP Jawans realized that they would not be able to get out alive unless and until they do something.
Guns were useless at this moment too. “They threatened us that they would lynch us all to death. We were 9 people in total, they were in hundreds. We immediately called the Army station commander and sent out a SOS message. The Army Commander immediately helped us. He sent in a Quick Response Team (QRT) with one jeep and one bus,” said one of the men who was trapped in a room with a mob of 900 waiting outside to kill him.
When the QRT arrived, they too realized that they were outnumbered. The QRT has about 17 members, but they too knew that it would be difficult to face a mob of 900. The Commander of the QRT decided that it would be a bad idea to open fire at the mob and could escalate tensions. The Commander immediately decided that rescuing the men inside is what was important.He caught hold of one Kashmiri stone pelter, tied him on to the jeep and drove pas the mob of 900. Not only did they go in, they saved the 9 ITBP and J&K Police personnel, and managed to come out alive. Omar Abdullah and several other so called liberal people who are criticizing the army must understand what really transpired before commenting. Please share this story of our real hero Major Gogoi.
A young navy cadet died of a cardiac arrest early this morning at the Indian Naval Academy (INA) in Kerala. An inquiry has been ordered by the Southern Naval Command.
26-year-old Gudeppa Sooraj, a first term cadet, was found unconscious and unresponsive at the INA in Ezhimala late last evening. He was found by a duty sailor instructor.
He was taken to the navy hospital and given resuscitation, but he could not be revived. He suffered two cardiac arrests later at Pariyaram Medical College, where he was shifted with the assistance of medical experts, according to INA officials. The cadet died around 2:30 am.

M777 is the world’s first 155mm Howitzer weighing less than 10000 lbs (4218 kg). Selected by the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Army as their next generation Medium Force weapon, designated M777. Further U.S., India orders more than a hundred guns. M777 is now in full rate production for the U.S. Armed Forces and is the benchmark for 155mm Lightweight Towed Artillery Systems.
Highly mobile on land, at sea and in the air, the M777 has increased survivability through:
Unsurpassed tactical & strategic mobility
Low thermal & radar signature
Rapid emplacement / displacement
Low silhouette.
In a major boost for the Indian Army, the first two guns out of the 145 M777 ultra light artillery guns, manufactured by BAE Systems in the US, will be delivered to India over this weekend. Notably, the guns come a month ahead of schedule. The M777 ultra-light howitzers will be mostly will be deployed in high-altitude areas in Arunachal Pradesh and Ladakh, bordering China.

Dear Aspirants, I am Payal Panigrahy sharing my story of how I cracked SSB Interview in first attempt and got recommended for,
I was called for my AFSB for the Meteorology entry of the Indian Air Force. Being a first timer, the first day had me a little nervous. We reached the AFSB center escorted by designated personnel and directly taken to the Testing wing. The first test of the day was the OIR (Officer Intelligence Rating). It comprised verbal and non-verbal aptitude questions and there were two such tests conducted. It was fairly simple and also enough examples were given prior to the test. After a short break, chest numbers were given and Picture Perception test began. We were shown a blurry black and white picture and asked to write a story on it within four minutes. I was fairly confident about my story. Then, we were split into groups and led to the Discussion part of the test. First, we all narrated our own stories and then discussed upon a common one. My narration went pretty well. The discussion was also a civilized one, with everyone getting to speak at least once. We decided upon a theme that 4-5 of my fellow mates had in common and build on it. We nominated one to narrate the story to the assessors. After about 20 minutes, the screened in candidates were announced. Four people from my group made it. There were 23 girls screened in. After thorough document check, three of them were sent back due to lack of adequate documents. Finally 20 of us were given permanent chest numbers and ID cards. We were allotted three rooms with around seven in each. The rest of the day was free for us.
Next morning, we were led to the Psychology test consisting of TAT, WAT, SRT, and SDT in that order. While I could do fairly well in TAT and WAT, I did not fare so well in my SRTs. I could only finish 35 out of 60. I had prepared for the SDT already so that went fairly well. I was a little disheartened with my performance in the SRTs but I had my interview immediately after that so I tried to focus on it rather.
My interviewing officer was a lady officer. She was warm and made me comfortable in the first few minutes of the interview. My interview lasted for almost 2 hours. It was the longest in my batch. I had questions regarding my schooling, college and job. The experiences, learning, influences, etc. I was asked about my family background and the various places I have stayed in. I was asked a lot of questions regarding why I decided to pursue this career at this stage of my life when I am already doing very well. I was asked about my inspiration, passion for the forces and a little bit about the recent news and developments regarding the Armed forces in general and the Air Force in particular. I could answer most of the questions satisfactorily and the tone of the interview remained positive throughout. In the latter half, it was getting a little difficult to remember the entire sequence of questions. But I was satisfied with my performance. The rest of the day was again free for us and we spent most of it discussing each other’s interviews, past SSB experiences.
The next two days were for the Group testing. We were split into three groups and each group had a Group Testing Officer. The first day, we had Group planning exercise, group discussion, progressive group task, half group task and lecturette. There were two group discussions, the topic for one of it we could choose while the other was given to us by the GTO. Both discussions were smooth and very good points were brought to the table. In the GPE, we were explained the situation, and the layout and then given some time to write our solution down individually. Later, we had a discussion again to get to a common solution. GPE also went really well and we could agree upon a common solution, set the timeline for various tasks and allocate resources appropriately. The PGT and HGT are all about using helping materials to cross obstacles. Our PGT was good and we finished all four obstacles in about 30 minutes. The HGT was not really good for my group. We struggled a lot to agree on solutions and even though we did complete the task, I think we could have thought of better solutions. Next was the lecturette. We would get 4 topics and 2.5 minutes to prepare on anyone of them and speak for 3 minutes. I chose the topic “Border Disputes'” and spoke fairly well on it. Again, we were free after that and we went out to visit the Chamundi temple in Mysore.
The second day of GT began with the Command task. We were all made commanders by turn and asked to cross one obstacle with the help of two subordinates. My command task happened almost in the very end. Initially, the GTO interacted with me asking questions about my job and the decision to join the forces. It was an informal chat for about a minute or so. My task was a little complicated but I managed to cross it in the given time. Then, the GTO changed a few colors in the obstacles and asked for solutions. I could solve all of those scenarios and was then sent back. Next, we had the Individual obstacles. There were 7 obstacles that we were to attempt. I could only do 4 of them (5+1+2+6= 14) in the given time. With this, GT was also over. Since we were free for the rest of the day, we visited the Mysore palace.
The fifth day, Conference was scheduled in the morning. For me, it was a short one. I was asked about my choice of college, grades in college. I was also asked if I could survive in a profession that is dominated by men. It lasted for about 5 minutes.
Then, finally the results were announced. 2 candidates got recommended, including me. It was an overwhelming moment. We stayed back for another 6-7 hours to finish our forms and returned to our homes.
This was my first SSB experience. I had always heard about SSB memories from people and I realized how true it is. Within those five days, you make friends, memories, and conversations for a lifetime. We used to sit in the motivation room and stare at the Uniform-clad officer mannequins, the aircraft models, the badges. Recommended or not, SSB can teach you a lot about your own self and I certainly will cherish it always.
I have my AFCAT entry AFSB in Dehradun on 22nd May, 2017. Looking forward to another wonderful experience.
