Hi Mr Param Veer,
I have my SSB in Bhopal on the 8th of June … A week from now. I must say that everything else i’m pretty confident about, but not so much in the physical department as i have let myselft go in the past couple of months. Not that i am fat or unfit (6Ft, 80 KGs, a little plump maybe), but i am just nervous about the Indivdual obstacles part. I am confident on my physical abilities, but i would love a little advice from you if you could. Please do reply as i would love to talk to you over the phone about it.
Regards,
Hemant Chaudhary
Hi Hemant
SSB is a personality test, you look also matters sometimes but they mostly judge you on your mental abilities, GTO task are mostly physical task , a normal person with average stamina can perform it. I advice you to keep your self fit for physical task and attempt them according to your abilities.
All the best

Hello Priyanka, in Individual Obstacles the thing matters is how you tackle the obstacle irrespective to number of task attempted. Plan according to your physical ability, first attempt which is easy for you and has more points, also don’t go for difficult first which may injuired you and later you won’t be able to do simple one. Also don’t put yourself in danger by jumping and flying, tackle it wisely , if you hurt yourself you will lose points and the more easily you tackle it the more points you get…
Thank you for the post Sir, could you please suggest how one should plan so that the obstacles should be completed in minimum time?
Double ditch will be a long ditch…but in between there is a platform…you have to jump on that platform by using rope…and after that you have to jump from that platform to the other side…its called double ditch because the platform in between divide the ditch in to 2 parts…
In Tiger leap you have to climb up to a platform 100 feet above the ground, now from there you have to jump like a tiger and catch the rope hanging 3 4 feet ahead from the platform…be careful it may cause rope burn if not handled properly.
In commando walk you have to climb on a platform 9-10 feet above the ground, then you have to walk on that platform balancing your self and get down from the other side …that platform will be shaking and you have to maintain perfect balance…
Sir! Can U elaborate what are we supposed to do in double ditch, tiger leap and commando walk??? And thanks for the post!
