The Right Time to Start SSB Preparations

I have seen people who prepared for only a month succeeding and yet another class who have prepared for years and not made it. So as such there is no time to start the preparation, this is what you’ll think now. No but definitely there is a time. The earlier you start them the better. One more thing the quantity of time never matters for preparations, what matters is the quality of time you put in and how sincerely you are preparing.

The OLQ’s which are the most important aspect of SSB can’t be developed in a day. They can only be developed by putting in a good amount of quality time.

This is the mantra of getting success in SSB. You have to first observe the OLQ’s what they are and how many of them and in what extent they are present in your personality. You have to observe the Personality of an officer and compare yourself to his/her personality. Then comes the analysis part, now you have to analyze that what is the amount of OLQ’s which are missing in you, and you have to find out ways to develop them. Imagine yourself as an officer and then think what is missing in you. Then comes the adopting part. Adopt these OLQ’s in your personality.

So the right time to prepare for SSB is the time when you get to know what your aim is, the time when you decide that yes I have to be an Officer. Defence can’t be put as an option in career; you’ll get in only if you have made it the first priority. Making it the topmost priority in your life will always urge you to prepare well for it. Remember that even for a post of a very small private job there are a hundred more who are there to compete, hence in SSB there are always a lot more people who have put in all their efforts to get into it, so it is always the survival of the fittest.

You have to concentrate and prepare for SSB, from the day you decide what your aim is, i.e. Fauj. Give ample amount of time to know yourself, and analyze your positives’ and negative. Remember you can’t fake it in SSB so either you have the personality they want or you don’t.  It is important to become a kind of person who is suitable in reality instead of faking it. For eg if you are lazy and have a habit of getting up late then you must try to change and be lively and active, because if you are not and you are telling a lie in SSB that you are active and blah-blah then also you’ll be caught by the Interviewer or the Psychologist. So it’s better to be the desired kind of person instead of lying there

Start preparing now! Its better late than never
