Dear Sir,
After going through this post, i felt like the most important parts in an Interview is
A. Knowing about yourself
B. Introspecting you previous mistakes(If a Repeater)
C. Telling the truth
D. Knowing about current events.
1.My Question is if you have analyzed yourself and tell truth about the questions being asked, will there be a yes from the I.O side.
2. How much does knowing about current events matter, though i have heard people saying it don’t matter much but have also seen candidates who come out stating that questions pertaining to only G.K was asked and they couldn’t answer all properly.
So just got a bit confused about G.K and thought to clear my doubts with you.
Waiting for your reply.
Regards

Sir,

In PI they always asks why Army is on the last???

what should be the real ans to this question???
You are more interested to join Navy that is why you are giving preference to Navy but you respect all the defence forces equally and if you get the chance to join any one of these you will.

Never show that you are hiding something in PI.
Please check this post : How to Face PI ??
sir, when the IO asks to give the alternate choice of career if no defence forces then keeping an alternative for career is good or not? i mean if i say if not army then i’ll go for Central Police Forces then will it be fine?
Yes , there must be always some other option in life, it shown how well planned you are, and not blindly running for becoming defence officer.
I have a police case on me which has been withdrawn.. can i join navy??
Is it a registered case ?? were you found guilty ??

sir how to give this type of questions answer.
Answer accordingly , whatever is the correct reason according to you.
While answering just start with “I want to join defence services whether it may be Army, Navy or Airforce” & then give your views. This will clear the conflict of IO.
sir my real age is 21 but in certificate it is 19 so last time when i attended ssb , IO only asking me same question that you are only 17 yr old and persuing btech 2nd yr how it come possible ,i truly answered him about my age problem after knowing this he was not looking happy and further didn’t take interset in asking questions. now sir if my certificate is 19 so thats not fault this not done by me dis was done by my uncle during the addmission in 10. so sir if i went to ssb next time and IO ask me same question how i answer perfectly how can i convince him. plz sir solve my this problem plz.
Forget your real age now, just remember you age according to your certificate, don’t get double minded.
gud morning sir……{‘.’}
sir nw i m in 12th ‘sci’….can u plz tell me,How much Percentage of marks are required in 12th in order to join in NDA?

first of all,thank you sir, for the timely reply. I have benefited a lot from this website.
also i want to ask that
if IO asks that ,why is so and so Ur best friend ?
then can i say that b’cos he always helps me in any difficult work ,and he is always there when i am in a problem ,he is always motivating
Yes you can.
HELPING AND CARING ARE NOT OLQ..BUT A MATURE PERSON SEES QUALITIES LIKE MOTIVATOR,ENCOURAGING,DETERMINATION,KNOWLEDGABLE,GOOD IN MAINTAINING RELATIONS,AMBITIOUS IN HIS/HER BEST FRIEND…AND THAT’S WHAT AN I.O. EXPECTS FROM US.
Very well said Ankita.

they also ask about ur best friend and favourite teacher
sir is tit right to make a judgement about ur friend and teacher???
Yes, you are not a kid, be mature and be practice in life. One must have good judgement quality .
sir i was asked a question that “how would u rate/priortise ur SSB interview procedure, i.e., psyche test, GTO and Personal interview?”
is it right to judge i.e., to give priority???
Yes one must be able to judge his/her performance, rate accordingly .
i am a reapeter…..what if i wil tell myself as fresher…do they check my previous attempts???bt bcoz how can dey keep tracks of so many ppl…..i dont think dey hav a database…??
They can not check, but if they get doubt you will be in problem.
sir if IO asks that
1.did u fight with your sister ?
2.do u get scolding from Ur mother ?
then what he wants to know from u and how to tackle these questions.
pls reply soon .
They just check whether you lie or not, because these are common questions and one should tell the truth and speak normally.

@Darshan
I am unable to understand you.
@Jairam
No there is not compulsion of such sort.
I have received the call letter to attend the ssb interview for induction into the 10+2 BTECH-JAN2012 course of the Indian Naval Academy.I am required to report at INS Agrani on 20th October.I know that swimming is compulsory for a trainee at the Indian Naval Academy. Is it compulsory for me to know swimming before the ssb interview or can I learn swimming before joining the naval academy,if selected?
it’s ok if you do not know swimming before interview, but after interview and before joining academy you have to learn swimming in betweeen.
if you have any information regarding campus interview for indian army….entry engineer…..rpy on 10 th oct my campus interview…
@Naween
Yes it depends on type of commission , your educational qualifications , number of courses you have completed successfully and many more things.
@ admin thats right sir , sir which officer is prefered in promotion or any other events one who entered through NDA or any other . so , is it any thing that differs among offficers in terms of seniority.
@Naween
You can’t say so, if you are really wanted to go in technical then you could have had applied TES.
You can say, you didn’t clear it(NDA).

@Maninder Singh Gill
PGT is all about giving idea and applying it effectively .
When others shout you try to make them calm and tell them to apply every bodies idea one by one, also you think of your own idea show them how to do. GTO is judging you so he should see you working in the group and coming out with good ideas..Fools just yell but clever thinks and do…
Snake race is a group task like other, but its a kind of war situation, so what are you suppose to do in war time ??? help other members to pass the obstacles ..that’s it 🙂
@Admin in my previous ssb, during the PGT all the members were just speaking of their own and nobody was listening to other. in that situation what should we do? like we should also have to speak without listening the others? and whats being judged in snake race? plz reply thanks…
@Shery what ever the questioned mentioned above are sufficient, IO may ask any thing and that depends on the IO only so just try to get the details about you , your family and friend is sufficient.
And the questions are not difficult its common but you should respond to them wisely after thinking.
@Admin: As requested earlier by me, plz give me some instance of some easy looking but tricky questions asked during the interview and also tell me how to tackle them…I have ssb coming up shortly, plz help me out..
@Shery What matters is your present performance, if you do up to the mark then there is no question of comparing past performance …also it doesn’t matter at that time.
@Admin: It is generally said that the assessors match the present performance with the previous one for a repeater..So i wanted to know if they possess the old records of a candidate’s performance..
this is really a wooooooooonderful page……
thank you sir
@Shery..
If you are getting recommend then obviously you have done better than your last performance…
If your not getting recommend then there is no question about your previous performance.
@Admin: How does the board decide if a candidate has put up a better performance than the previous ssb?
@Ratish yes there are few sets of questions which are asked each and every time.
hello sir, though i was interviewed one time, the interviewing officer will ask me the same questions or anything different? please suggest me.
@Shrey
Daily routine is to know what you do most of the time and in free time specially, how you utilize it and all similar stuff, pocket money is also same, like where do you spend .
Such question are just to know about your personal life so just face it in a normal manner .
@ADMIN: What is the assessor looking for when he asks a candidate abt his daily routine n also the pocket money n the expenditures??
@Raghuveer
its in April 2012 so likely dates will be in November 2011.

@Shery its like blaming others .. and you may be correct but you can’t say that I mean its like blaming others for your failure.
There is a way to say the same thing…you could say that there were no proper planning in the group member earlier so we were not performing well in GTO series, but this time I had a proper planning with my group members and we you to talk in the free time regarding to know each others strength and weaknesses..and you can add many more things.
@admin: My batchmates were trying too many things during PGT. 10 ppl n 100 ideas n things were just messing up. Do you think it will be a bad idea to say this to the IO?
@Shery Just tell you good and weak points. Prepare this question well.
@Admin:What should the response be like when asked about the past performance ??
ok sir thanks
@Awdesh
Do not think that your 7 attempts are obstacles for you, I would say you have more chance because you have faced it many times. You will be asked about ” How do you analyse your past performances.
In other words they want to know how can you judge you past performance, one who can judge his own performance can improve.
When ever you are asked about you past performance never feel sad, keep smiling and show that you still have the courage and determination to face the challenge and tell them where are you lacking and how did you practice to improve your weaknesses .
sir how can i explain the 7 failures please tell as i was screen out also in these attempts please tell me what type of things i have to answr in this questions
@ Awdesh
First of all do not think that repeaters are not considered equally as Fresher, apparently repeaters have more chance.
They will ask you about your opinion regarding your past performance, they just want to see whether or not you have the capability to judge your self and your performance in the past attempts.
So just think about your performance and tell them where you were lacking earlier and what sort of measures you have taken to perform better in future.
Always accept your earlier drawbacks and try to work on them, yes you have more chance to get recommend if you have analysed what you need to do…All the best 🙂
So
sir m 8th time repeater ,,,and what to say when i will asked y u not selected in the previous 7 attempts plz tell me
may i kno wat r d likely ssb dates 4 NCC spl entry 31st course..?
@Admin: Sir plz do that asap..it will be of great help to all the aspirants!
@Raghuveer…
There is no diff in SSB , yes as you have mentioned what kind of questions will come for NCC entry ??
So they may ask you anything about NCC …rest will be the same level of questions..
@Shrey I will try to do it in next post sometime… 🙂
hello sir
what are the expected interview questions fore NCCC spl entry..?? would u suggest me some..??
@Admin: i will be grateful to you if u could give some examples of such tricky questions
@Gajendra.. seniority will be same for same entry type… You are free to attend any SSB now so what kind of question is this??? and nothing happens when you switch your training academy.. you will face the changes not the academy people. Yes its good to join your first choice if your getting chance 🙂
@Sherty there are many questions just think properly what you gonna answer for such questions.
@Admin..thnx a lot sir…i was expecting this…the next time i wouldn’t say that i hate a particular teacher of mine..!! Can u plz tell me some tricky questions asked by the assessor and how to tackle them..
@Admin sir/madam i have certain query plz do reply
Q1: what is the seniority advantage for techies in SSC…like for TGC N UES its two years….
Q2.do they permit to attend ssb of other forces like NAVY OR IAF….
Q3 .what Happens when you switch from army to navy or air force during the course of your training…
@Shrey They just want to see how was your behavior with your teachers and mentors. Never say that you hate someone just because that teacher scolded you or for any other reason… because again you will be going through tough training and again your bad and negative thinking about your trainers and mentors will come up there.. So they do not want that thing. .
@Admin: what does the assessor wants to know by asking a candidate about the teacher he/she likes n dislikes?
@Niraj
All the question except the last one is just to check your behavior in the family and society, I guess its sounds a normal question but you should answer then wisely.
Regarding sport questions , you should prepare at least something in detail . 🙂
Few more difficult questions which I faced sir..
When did u had a fight last time?
When did u had argument with ur father,mother or sister?
when did u cry last time?
When did u fought ur sister last time?
when did ur teacher scolded u last time?
Did u ever bunk?when?why?
and he went in deep about my favourite sports like size of ground and size of ball and current affairs on football.
