Hello friends I am Inderpreet Singh from Punjab and I got recommended from 14 SSB Allahabad on July 7, 2012. I got recommended in SSC 39th technical entry and it was my 10th attempt. Friends I want to share my views of SSB with you so that you can get an idea of SSB procedure and selection. I hope that repeaters after reading this post will get more motivated to go again and give SSB with full preparation and dedication.
Firstly before starting my 5 days SSB experience I will tell u little about my SSB attempts. Out of 10 attempts 6 times I was conference out, 3 times screen out and finally in 10th attempt I got recommended. My burning aim is to join NDA and I gave my first interview in Jan 2008 and from that day till 2012 I am giving interviews of various entries which include technical entry army , air force , navy and CDS. Every time when I was sent back home I feel little sad but then one thing which comes in my mind is “ NEVER EVER GIVE UP ’’ .This 4 words kept my motivation , dedication alive till I got recommended. Everybody including my parents , my friends , my relatives started thinking that now I will not make it to Army and I should not try anymore , but I kept on with full dedication because I know that one day I will surely make it. In this attempt I did everything averaged, to the point and very simple. Now I’m starting my 5 days experience blog.
I reported Allahabad on 3th July, 2012 and went to selection center for tests. At around 9am our screening test started which includes verbal, nonverbal and then PPDT. I did almost all questions in aptitude test , then in PPDT I wrote a SIMPLE story on a picture in which lady is standing on bridge( according to my perception ) and watching something. I wrote, she is working in MNC, went to holidays with parents in hilly area , standing on a bridge watching cricket match played by village students near river side and also clicking pics.After this in Discussion I spoke 2-3 times by appreciating other guys stories and adding points to their stories. In our batch 150 students were there and only 24 are screened in……..I got chest no 6 after screening LOL.
Next day (4th July) early morning psyche test…….I made very very simple stories all relating to pictures shown. The word association test also went averaged. Before starting my SRT I had one thing I my mind that I had to complete more than 40 so that way I started writing my responses very quickly and at last I did 42 only but all continues no blank in-between. Then Self-description, in which I wrote everything about me, showing positive and negative points of me.
On 5 and 6 July GTO day – in GTO before going to ground I had one thing I’m mind that I had to cooperate with my group in completing tasks. In group discussion I spoke 2-3 times when I got chance by giving relevant fact and figures about the topic. Luckily my group was very cooperating so everybody got chance in GD, military planning and progressive group task. In PGT I helped my group in each and every step, given ideas, modified ideas of other students. Similarly I did rest of GTO tasks .Main thing according to me which helped me in passing GTO is my helping nature and cooperation in team.
Interview – I was interviewed by the president of board after GTO 2 in pt. dress only. My interviewing officer was a south Indian so in starting got little problem in understanding the English of president. But I must say one thing president was very chill person, very much cooperative. My whole interview was based on my extracurricular activities which I done in my college (blood donation camp, NSS camp, Organizing member of technical fest Etc.). At middle of interview officer started using abusive language, but I still remain calm and concentrated on my answers.. LOLL. My interview was hardly of 30 – 35 minutes.
On 7th July….Conference……during conference president asked me questions about my friends , my positive qualities , how this attempt is different from previous ones , you enjoyed here or not …..Only 2 out of 24 got recommended other recommended guy was a fresher.
At last friends I want to thank SSBCRACK because I practiced psyche test from slides given in site, used to check regular updates on various topics. This site had helped me a lot in getting recommended I Salute to this site from core of my heart .Thanksssssss SSBCRACK
