Though there are a lot you need to have for clearing the SSB but if a general and mild workout is done on yourself, you hold a better chance to do that. People are afraid of going to SSB because of the myth that exists in the market. The aspirants have the JOSH that is needed but when they start confirming on that part from other sources like friends, etc they get to hear a lot which might not be prevalent in the SSB premises.
SSB is just a simple test where you need to be yourself.
Speak frankly, is it a difficult task for any individual. We are the ones who know about ourself better than anyone else. We know the happenings of our life, we know what our habits are, we know how bad or good we can be in society and at most we know what we should change in ourself to be a good citizen. In SSB believe me you are just tested on these parameters.
No one will ask you questions you need to prepare beforehand or you need to do hard work for that. I accept, it is expected to be aware of the happenings around you, your country and the world, but is it not the responsibility of the youth to do so and suggest parameters that could lead to the betterment of our country.
Rest SSB is a very simple exercise where the officers try to study the synchronisation between your mind, heart and body. If all three are properly synchronised you are the perfect choice for the forces. The various tests which conducted during your stint at SSB will test these three things only.
The screening test is just the gateway to check the mental health and to reduce the crowd and unwanted elements. The non – serious crowd is removed here.
The people who stay after getting screen in will be tested for their mind, body and heart. What does the three types of rounds test in you ? If you are aware of the facts I think this will help in better performance.
- GTO Round: The GTO round simply tests the action of body on the basis of your thought process which is generated in your mind and heart. Along with this it tests for your physical strengths which might be tested through snake race and other tasks . You might face similar situations while serving the nation so this is the perfect time to test that.
- The psychological rounds : They are designed so as to test the ability of thought process that goes in your mind while seeing the things . What and how you perceive different things as these might be different for individual. No answer is right or wrong here but when you answer remember to show the tone of positivity in your responses.
- Personal Interview: He will check how you are at heart. How much you reveal about yourself. Are you an introvert or an extrovert . Do you take time to gel around with people . This is the job where everyday you will face new difficulties altogether.
During the last day when all the officers/ assessors meet at conference they fight for the synchronisation that these three important part of your body will go through. You need to individually clear the cut-off for each round and each assessor should individually recommend you for getting selected finally. These tests are designed so that you hardly need to prepare or even if you prepare you will always face the new challenge. SSB are known to change the tests now and then so that only perfect people cross the boundary and get selected. Start preparing hard because its just a simple test and the result leads you to wonders.
