AFCAT results are out. Congratulations to all those who could clear the written and to those who couldn’t, review your mistakes and prepare better the next time. The next step after clearing the written is Service Selection Board Interview, or as we know for IAF it is AFSB interview. Basically SSB and AFSB interviews are the same thing. I am sure all of you must have looked the dates for SSB and many would have made their mind to choose the date of their choice, while many have chosen it already. AFSB is a crucial interview and unlike the normal job interviews, it requires an all-round preparation. Let us see how you can prepare for this interview.
Start by knowing the full procedure of AFSB interview. This is especially important for those who are going for the interview for the first time.
Make sure you know what you filled in as your choice for the branches. Many tend to forget and you have to fill it in the form there. Well if you have forgotten then try to recollect and if not possible you can ask them for help while filling up the form in AFSB.
If you are planning to go for a coaching, make sure you decide, choose the best one and go for it as soon as possible. It is not advisable to go for coaching just before SSB. Going in advance will give you time to implement the things taught and thus prepare on your own self.
Start your physical fitness regime as soon as possible. As this is something that requires times and you can build up stamina over time only.
Start the preparation for current affairs also as soon as possible. Current affairs are an important part of preparation. They are required to speak in the Group Discussion. They are required in the interview and they are required in the lecturette. Start by reading a newspaper or listening to news daily.
It’ll be very beneficial if you start acquiring some information about the aircrafts and missiles of Indian Airforce. This knowledge might be required in the interview.
If you are from a defence background, be prepared with a lot of things related to the job of your family member who is in defence and/or questions about that service in particular.
Get to know the rank structure, the commands of IAF. Get to know about the major wars/operations in which IAF has contributed.
Start practicing for the psychological test. You can get the sample slides on our website, with the help of which you can time your writing speed and learn to write in time and efficiently
Make sure you can answer basic questions form the background of your graduation or post-graduation. Technical entry graduates need to prepare better as they might be asked a lot of questions related to their field. You are advised to possess knowledge about the branch of IAF in which you’ll be working and what your role will be. All the best. Get set and go!
