Clearing SSB is not an easy task but we all know for a soldier nothing is impossible too. The ones who clear it and become officers are also human beings like us. They are not at all different but yes the living way the way they feel and think about situations differs and that makes them different from the crowd. They possess what is being searched in SSB, the officer like qualities which only few have. But this simply does not mean you cannot inculcate them.
Everyone is unique and different in perusal of life, but at SSB they are looking for only certain parameters where they check if you could be trained and moulded in a way of officer’s life that is ready to shed everything for the motherland. What to do if you are planning to go for SSB:
- What is SSB? : If you are a fresher know the test in and out because now day’s people prepare beforehand before going for the competition because of the severity and high reduction rate at SSB. So don’t think you are going on a paid vacation as every attempt counts in your account and then the elite tag of fresher also goes off and next visit if you plan for SSB would be with repeaters. For repeaters also take the assessment of whether you are doing things rightly or moving in wrong direction. If you have a good mentor who can judge your individual personality you are really lucky. Because in classroom sessions and at places where many people sit simultaneously it’s difficult to get the assessment done cumulatively.
- Practice hard: If you have tentatively followed step 1, get ready to practice as it only makes a man perfect and tell you where you stand in the crowd. If it is monitored and assessed nothing better than that. Personality is something which needs time to change and it is more of dependent on the environment or the conditions you are presently living in. It cannot be changed suddenly, hence keep sufficient time for preparation. I have seen people waiting for SSB letter, if you are confident start preparing now because once you receive a letter you have hardly a month to prepare and it’s too short a duration to achieve a change if needed.
- General awareness: If you are ready for becoming an officer, you cannot ignore the happenings around you. Prepare well the general knowledge as it is a vast field and needs time for improvement. Hence do not ignore it and smoothen it.
Do you think SSB have this much to prepare never, wait for the second part where i open new surprises and secrets to prepare and perform well. If you have any other query or need counselling or mentoring for any of the problem troubling you within feel free to contact me on facebook or drop the mail at jayendrapsingh@gmail.com. Let’s live the dream of better India together.
