Hi guys, I am Harikrishnan and I am from Kerala.I am also a defence aspirant and this time I had cleared the AFCAT examwith 139 marks.When the result was published ,I was very happy and I didn’t know what to do next.Luckily one of my friend had attended the AFSB interview earlier and he passed me with many information that was really useful for me. He advised me to take a little bit of coaching before going to the AFSB. I asked the same to my father, and he said that since this is my first time, I should go there without any coaching as it will also give me a chance to know myself without any interruption from these coaching centres. Unfortunately, the date of the CAT exam was announced and I wasn’t able to concentrate much on its studies. Hence, my parents and friends advised me to attend the AFSB before the CAT exam and the final decision was left to me.Therefore, I chose to attend AFSB before CAT because it would also provide me time to prepare for CAT. Thus I choose 3rd Nov as my AFSB date. 
Some of us had GT which was over by 11 am. We were told to pack our luggage and assemble in the testing room. Then we had our conference and it was totally an awesome experience.The moment you go in the conference room and you see nearly 15-18 officers in their uniforms headed by the board president…It was really awesome. We had our lunch and reported back to the testing hall at 3.30 pm. Then it was time for the results. 4 among the 48 were selected, and unfortunately I wasn’t among the four. But I was very happy. I made new friends,got a chance to uplift myself and above everything I understood my skills and abilities. A individual must attend an SSB at least once in his/her life,since the 5 days provide you time to know more about yourself, your life and your character. We were given our TA and sent back to the station in the Air Force bus. 44 of us were there and we all were sad not about being selected but since the most beautiful 5 days in our life were over. But we took a oath that day, that we will be back in the AFSB next time,but this time fully prepared!!
