“Dreams come true when we start working towards it, if we keep on thinking it will always be a dream~~ Jayendra Pratap Singh”
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 our self-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 our self to be a good citizen. This is not that easy as said and done.
Here come the most crucial mantras that can help succeeding in SSB which can help to clear SSB in a single shot:
- Self-introspection is the only tool that would help you analyse what’s there in you and what’s missing. Once this is clear, it’s easy to work on the weak links and form a strong chain that will sustain in the battle of SSB. This is the needed starting before you get ready for SSB. There are many tools available which helps in self-introspection and I have personally designed few which are used during the counselling and mentoring process of personalised assessment that I provide to my mentees. Now I have seen aspirants waiting till the last moment and once they get call letters then starting for preparation. SSB is all about revealing an officer personality and showing that you have potential to absorb that stringent one year training. That’s it! They are not looking for brilliant minds that are good at cramming and storing things.
- Many say that their friends have said that you don’t need any preparation. But let me clarify no preparation in terms of reading heavy books as it happens for other interviews. But for SSB full preparation and analysis is needed for personality assessment. So do that and you will be in a better position to survive.
- Many aspirants ask me that their academics are not good and they are losing confidence out of that. Please be clear, at SSB assessors are not providing jobs based on high percentage of marks, if you have the OLQ’s I dare to say that no one can stop you. Work on personality and don’t waste time on thinking about the things which is no more in your hands. In this process you will lose on things that are in your hand.
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 Still If you have any confusion or feel to take individual assessment of personality for olq’s or prepare from your place itself through one to one interaction through my mentoring / counselling program drop me a mail at [email protected] or add me on Fb and drop in a message. Get ready to perform and work hard for your dream and convert it into reality.
