Hello, I am Akash Kale from Mumbai. I would like to share my SSB experience with you. I am pursuing my graduation in Social Work from TISS, Tuljapur, Maharashtra. While I was in campus I was unaware of the procedure of joining defence. So it was like very blur dream for me and I was not focused on it. But one of my friends, Deepmala, suggested me to appear for CDS exam and also helped me in preparing for it. I somehow cracked the written part, but then the most important part was yet to come. I was totally blank about exactly what SSB is. I researched on this but ended up with the same results all around. I was confused like what they are actually looking for and still I am. Then I started following SSBCrack website and from there I got the reference of Dr. Cdr. Natarjan Sir’s Video Course. I ordered it and watched it. It gave me a clear idea about the SSB and what I am going to face in coming days. It also prepared me for the same.
Screening Test
I was nervous like others. Some candidates seemed very confident; looking at them makes us more nervous. So just focus on yourselves and don’t panic. Result was announced immediately after break and I was in, 20 were screened in. I was very happy thinking atleast I am going to stay for the next 5 days. But coming 5 days were more interesting than I thought.
Psych test:
I have heard that doing enough SRT, WAT and SDT will increase your chance of selection but while in test the time flies. In end I ended up doing only 28 SRT and 40 WAT, taking stress of this i screwed up my SDT also. That night was very difficult for me as I lost all hopes and was not able to focus on coming tasks.
I made a lot of friends and we supported each other throughout our stay.
IO:
Our tester JCO told that my interview is for the next day, so I planned to go out with my friends and I went to nearby mall. After sometime one of my friend called me and told that I have my interview today itself, IO had informed JCO to call me. Again a deep shock you get when you hear that someone very important is waiting for you and you have not prepared your mind to face them.
I immediately ran and changed to formals. My interview went for 25 good minutes and was average. I was a bit nervous in few questions because the AC was too high and I was feeling cold.
GTO
For me GTO was very fun task. I gave many ideas in PGT, HGT, and GPE and also contributed well in GD as a social science student. I was well aware of the topics which GTO asked us to discuss. I also did well in Individual Obstacles, I did 17 obstacles.
Conference
The tensest day of my life. I used to read stories about this moment. This is the point where your dreams either come to reality or remain dream.
My Chest No was 07; they asked me few questions and let me go.
It was the time ‘THE RESULTS’
I closed my eyes. When the officers started calling numbers. I suddenly heard 07 at that time. You don’t hear anything after they call your number. You just get lost in your dreams. I was just thinking, is it real. I cleared my medicals from there. But it was not impossible. So if i can do it, you can also do.
Prepare your mind, don’t lose hope till end and you will be there.
Jai Hind!
