Time and again people ask the same question. Today I would try to settle the debate once and for all. There are mainly three types of candidates for SSB interview or any other exam. One, who are very confident about themselves (sometimes too much confident) and have been the front runners at various activities in their school & college. They have won many prizes in sports and cultural activities. They are extrovert, and can easily befriend people.
The second category candidates are shy, meek and introvert. They find it very difficult to speak in public despite having adequate knowledge. They are screened out more often than not.
The third category candidates lie in between the above two categories. They are neither good nor bad. They are a bit confused more often than not.
Now the question arises, which category requires coaching and which doesn’t.
Coaching v/s Training
There is a thin line of difference between these two words. Coaching is like working in a rigid and concrete way as prescribed by the coaching institute. Whereas, training imparts basic and essential knowledge about the process and let’s you to develop your individual self according to the parameters. Remember, SSB interview is not like any other engineering or medical exam which can be passed through coached ideas. You are an individual and your thoughts/responses must conform to your individuality.Therefore, it is not about what type of people require coaching. It is about whether the candidate understands the procedure or not. One must be thorough with the qualities which are required by the forces.
CRUX
If you possess adequate communication skills, understand yourself, and have the finesse to deal with various people, you do not require any external push. Whereas, if you are tad weak in any of these attributes, then you may take up training to enhance your skills. Mind you, getting genuine guidance about the SSB interview always puts you at ease. Therefore, it is about getting the basics right and applying your own brain towards the right direction.
I hope you have got an insight on whether to go for training or not. However any type of doubts are welcome on vardaan.parashar@gmail.com.
