Recommended In First Attempt By 11 SSB Allahabad For TES-34 10+2

Friends today I am going to tell you about my first experience to SSB in ALLAHABAD and what all happened there…… I hope this will help those who are going to have SSB or preparing for the same.

DAY 1: SCREENING

My SSB was on 31-aug-2015 in SELECTION CENTER EAST- ALLAHABAD. So I was to reach MOVEMENT CONTROL OFFICE (MCO) at 6:00 in the morning at the ALLAHABAD JN. My journey started on 30-aug-2015 from NEW DELHI RLY STN at 6:30 in the morning. Train took around 13 Hours and I reached ALLAHABAD JN at 7:30 pm. After reaching there I took an auto for HOTEL which I have already booked online. Rested there for the night and prepared a while for the SCREENING TEST. The next morning (31-aug-2015) I wake up at 4:00 am and after getting ready in formals I checked out the hotel at 5:00 am. I reached MCO and what I saw there was really surprising scene for me, a large crowd of around 400 was already there. At that time I thought that this is the first and the last day of my SSB. We all were received by the army men and were dropped at the SELECTION CENTER at 7:00 am. There we first had the breakfast and after that the document verification. Then the SCREENING TEST came. We around 360 were seated in a huge hall and were given the CHEST NUMBERS. I got CHEST NO 35. Then the test started. First we have INTELLIGENCE TEST consists of VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL TEST. I attempted 38 out of 45 in VERBAL and 45 out of 45 in NON-VERBAL in given allotted time of 22 min and 19 min respectively. Then we had our PPDT (Picture Perception and Discussion Test) in which we were shown a picture which was very blur. I wrote a story on what I perceived in the Picture and then we had our DISCUSSION TEST where we were divided in a group of 20. Before GD we all have to narrate our written story. We all narrated but there were some aspirants who completely narrated in HINDI. The three officers sitting before us were observing everything. In my group only I was the one whose story was listened completely by the officers and it was only my story which was carried out as a concluding story of GD. I gave only 1 point in the GD and remained silent for the rest of the time because in SSB only QUALITY matters rather than QUANTITY. After this we were asked to have lunch. After lunch result of SCREENING TEST was announced and the first CHEST NO the call was “CHEST NO. 35”. “YES THAT IS YOU MOHIT” I said to myself and shouted “CHEST NO. 35 MOHIT RAWAT SIR” and I was given “CHEST NO 1” after that they called “CHEST NO. 75”. That means that I was the only one who got SEREENED IN in first 74 aspirants. There was another level of my happiness. On the Same day I had my interview, as Getting Screened in boost up my Confidence and helped a Lot during the Interview. My Interview lasted for 1.5 Hour. Confidently I answered all the questions with a Smile. Most of the questions were related to my personal Life, friends, family, teachers, achievements, academics, sports and all others which I filled in the PIQ, some Situations Reactions were also asked which I answered boldly. Overall my first day was fantastic and I enjoyed a lot with my new friends.

DAY 2: PSYCHOLOGY TEST

I woke up at 4 am, shaved and got ready for the psychology test. This test comprises of TAT(Thematic Apperception Test) or story writing test, WAT(Word Association Test), SRT(Situation Reaction Test), and at last SD(Self-Description) test. We all got ready, had breakfast in mess and reached the testing hall with all our documents that were to be further verified. People think that they can really perform well in psychology test because there is nothing to be prepared, but no my friends psychology is the trickiest test where every aspirant thinks that he is doing well but no one knows because it is the test of imagination and imagination varies from individual to individual. Starting from TAT, in this we were shown 12 pictures one by one for 30 sec and we have to write a story of about 70-100 words in 4 mins. In TAT you have to be optimistic for example if in a picture there is a scene of accident and you write that Ram is a civil engineer who constructed a road for increasing the accidents cases then sorry my friend you are going to be out. Last slide is blank slide where you can imagine a picture of your own and write on that. After this there was WAT in which 60 words one after the another were shown and we have to write a related sentence that first comes to the mind because there is only 15 sec after that next word will be shown. Then we had a 15 min break and after that SRT in which we were given 60 day to day situations which were to be completed in the allotted time of 30 min. I was able to complete 51 SRTs. SRT’s require practicality. Always think what you would really do in that situation rather than writing a copied response because every person is unique. You may be having a better solution for the given situation. Here also quality matters rather than quantity. If you attempt 30 SRTs then there is no problem but all 30 must have some logic and meaning. Then the SD in which we were to write 5 different paragraphs on “parents opinion, teachers opinion, friends opinion, own opinion and the qualities that you would like to inculcate in future”. Or all you have to do is to self-introspect yourself. I was able to complete all 5 paras in time.

DAY 3: GTO TEST 1

GTO tasks check your group skills and practical thinking so always work with the group. Follow the proper dress code and look well groomed. As said the first impression is the last impression. Our GD topic was related to RESERVATION: ADVANTAGES AND DRAWBACKS. The second topic was E-COMMERCE. I took a fair participation in the GD. The key is to come with 3-4 good relevant points which contain FACTS AND FIGURES because generally candidates do not know about them and if they know they won’t oppose your points. PGT (Progressive Group Task), HGT (Half Group Task), Snake Race went normally. I stood in the first position and gave 2-3 ideas to move ahead. I just tried to work in a group. I did all 10 INDIVIDUAL OBSTACLE in allotted time of 3 minutes.

Before INDIVIDUAL OBSTACLE there was Lecturette. The GTO asked my name, father’s name, mother’s name, native place and my hobbies and then to proceed with the Topic. My topic was RIGHT TO EDUCATION. I spoke for 3 minutes and completed in time, I was very confident and gave some good points. You always have to remain confident, no single task is important. You have to be consistent throughout the tasks.

DAY 4: GTO TEST 2

COMMAND TASK

It is very important. Here the GTO actually checks your potential and finally decides whether he will recommend you or not. My CT was to cross an area and to carry a so called LCD TV from a white starting line to finishing line. He increased the difficulties continuously and I gave the ideas every time. He looked impressed, and said “Commander I’m really impressed and was looking for that idea, you carry out the responsibility in effective way, very well done commander”. I thanked him and my subordinates. In CT you should always be motivating and cheerful so that your subordinates also participate effectively with you.

FGT

I think it is just a formality sake thing. The GTO doesn’t even look what you are doing as he has already made up his mind. But as an aspirant you have to participate with full confidence and put up your 100%.

DAY 5: CONFERENCE DAY

I entered the room and wished President and sat on the chair. He first asked me that what all will I tell my friends about the SSB, then about the places I visited then at last any suggestion. I said NO SIR.
Ok, Thank You MOHIT.

After leaving the room, I thought, “saala ye kya hua, ek min bhi nahi betha aur bhaga diya”.

And then the results were announced, the first chest number the officer said was mine as I was the chest no. 1. Everyone clapped. I thanked God and my parents. It was the best moment of my life. It was my dream to earn that medical chest number with the PLUS Sign on it. I again got chest no. 1 with plus sign on it.

I was highly determined to join Indian army. I worked hard, prepared, did introspection, and finally made it.

BELIEVE YOURSELF and NEVER GIVE UP.

10 Things Every 20 Something Should Be Doing

Well folks, it is a little away, not totally but ya somewhat away from the topic of defence services’ preparations. I am 20 something and I feel that there are a few things every 20 something must be doing. Let us look up the list and of course you are most welcome to add more things in the comment box below:

Travelling: Travel once you are young, with your bones enact and your health in your control. You might be short on money, but somehow arrange it. If you won’t travel now, it’ll be impossible to travel later, when you are trying to focus on your career.
Reading: With the current evolution of technology, we have almost lost touch with reading. It is the correct time you should read. So grab a book, and book your tickets! Set out for a travel filled with reading. Or grab a book and sit down in that CCD down the road on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Talking: We talk lesser than we text these days. It is easier to chat with a person for us than communicate in real with him/her. It is high time that we start talking to people around us, as the mobile phones designed to bring people far from us closer, but now they are taking the person sitting next to us far from us. So instead of instagramming, facebooking or tweeting it’ll simply our feelings to a greater extent if you can actually talk about it to people around you.
Spending: You should spend the money you have in the right direction. Smoking is cool, so id drinking, but if you have a limited allowance, it’ll give you much more happiness if you can spend it on an experience, like going for a trip, rather than spending it on a wasted night of pot.
Saving: Saving at this point is very important. It is good if you are earning, and even if not, then too try saving a buck or two from your allowance. Trust me nothing boosts the confidence more than a good bank balance.
Listening: We are so busy with our issues that we never pay attention to others. The result is that somebody keeps on talking to us and we, in spite of being there and listening to them, actually don’t listen, and think about our own issues. Listening should never be pretentious.
Eating: We are so obsessed with dieting that we forget to eat. Being busy with work is good, shows that you have a great career, however not eating on time and skipping meals will land you in trouble and no job will be there when you are ill. On the other hand, this is an age where you can eat whatever you want to without much issues, so enjoy your food, adapt a healthy diet plan.
Exercising: All work and no play makes you an ill guy. Need I say more?
Being in touch: It is very important to stay in touch with your parents, grandparents and old friends. With our busy lives we forget that there is somebody waiting for our call. Make a point to dedicate one day to talk to important people in your life, trust me, your job can leave you frustrated but your loved ones will be there to support you.
Being you: Wearing Prada, carrying Gucci bag , should never be the reason to forget and lose your real personality. Eat with your hands, when you want to, wear slippers instead of high heels once in a while. Stay in touch with yourself!

Why You Shouldn’t Give Up

Often when we fail, we are surrounded by the clouds of disappointment. If the failures keep on coming continuously, we feel worthless and hopeless. The clouds of unhappiness let us down and make us feel absolutely hollow and insignificant. We don’t realize that there is a silver lining to every cloud. Candidates feel that after getting reject it is the end of the opportunities for them, it is end of the world for them. My friends please understand that the journey has just begun; it’ll take you to your destination. Enjoy the failures as there won’t be any after you succeed! You can’t give up just because you failed once, or twice. There are several reasons why you shouldn’t give up:

Because you are worthy: You are valuable because a job, or an interview or an exam doesn’t determine your worthiness. There is much more to you than just an exam. And who knows that if you practice and try again you’ll ace in the same exam in which you failed. So you are valuable in all situations, in all scenarios no matter what?
Everyone is special: As mentioned above your worth doesn’t get diminished by a fact that you couldn’t clear up some exam. You are you, you are good in something. Maybe not this, maybe something else. Who knows you’ll land up a job much better than the one you failed in. They do not say at the, just for the sake of saying in conference that even if you don’t get selected you can do much better in the outside world.
Nobody else can be in your place: Only you know the pain of not getting something you wanted; only you know how much you deserve it. So none of your relatives or friends or criticizers can be in your place and understand the pain. Never give up hope because of that. Keep on trying, if that is what you want. If that is what you have to do.
Your parents love you: What people don’t realize is that their parents love them, no matter what, they’ll always be on their side. They know that you are worthy and you’ll do good. If not this then something else, they always believe in you and trust me whatever you do, in the end you’ll make them proud, and they know that.
Everyone succeeds in the end: If not this then something else. A brick lying on the floor can be of no use to the carpenter, so he won’t pick it up, but it is of much use to a mason and he’ll certainly pick it up. So never think that you will not succeed, if not for Armed Forces, you are definitely a right fit for something else.

Falling down is easy, almost every individual taste the bitter taste of failure more than once in their life, however, getting up is not easy, and those who get up after falling down every time, they definitely make a difference.

Story Of Bhupal Vasant Wagh, A Dabbawala Boy Journey To Indian Military Academy

A Pune dabbawala heads for IMA in Dehradun

Eighteen-year-old Bhupal Vasant Wagh is ready to pack his bags for the Indian Military Academy (IMA) in Dehradun. Wagh has just cleared the five-round SSB selection with flying colours, standing 24th in the All-India merit list, in the “10 + 2 technical entry” scheme. What makes Wagh stand out is the story of how he made it.

He lives in Shingte chawl in Pimpri, some 20 km from here, and works as a dabbawala. His father is a machine operator in a small industrial unit in Maharashtra Industries Development Corporation, Pimpri and his mother does part-time tailoring jobs. Each day, Wagh delivers dabbas to medical and engineering students who live in Sant Tukaram Nagar in Pimpri.

“I collect food made my neighbour who runs a mess for students and deliver it to the students. I earn Rs 500 a month, invaluable supplementary income for the household. I’ve been doing it for the past two years. In fact, I’m still doing it,” says Wagh.

Wagh will continue his job till December 10. He’s scheduled reach Dehradun on January 18.

He put in three-four hours every day to prepare for the exams and attended the academy run by Lt Colonel Pradeep Brahmankar for training youngsters for the army. Says Brahmankar, “Out of every batch of 20 that I train, one or two belong to the economically and socially weaker strata. Such boys invariably come with low self-confidence. Wagh too was no different, nervous and wanting in confidence. But it took only seven to eight sessions and he was a changed boy __ he’d become assertive and began showing officer-like qualities.”

The going was not easy for Bhupal, who unlike others his age, could never afford a proper study table. He shares a 120 sq ft room with his parents and an elder brother. But he managed to top his school (Jyoti English High School) in Class X with 79 per cent, and scored 80 per cent in Class XII from Bharatiya Jain Sangathan School, Pimpri.

What To Do After AFCAT 2016

AFCAT 2016 exam was conducted recently and already there is a hustle amongst the candidates about the cutoff, or the result date. For those of you who have given AFCAT for the first time, here are few things you need to know, what all to do after AFCAT.

What is the cutoff?

The cutoff is the mark including and after which candidates are called for SSB. It means that a certain mark is decided and candidates who score after that are called for SSB. Generally it lies between 110-130. You can look up previous AFCAT’s cut-offs to know the marks. However it depends on the difficulty of the paper, the number of applicants and the average performance.

How to get the results?

On the day of the result you’ll get to know that the results have been published, either through the IAF website or through our website whichever’s notification reaches you first. Generally we are spot on time. You can look up your roll number in the document published by IAF, also you can login to your account in the candidate login section and get your marks and results.

What if I get through the written Test?

After getting through the written test, you’ll be asked to choose your own SSB date. This is a very flexible step taken by the IAF. This allows you to choose your own SSB date, based on your convenience. What will happen is that you’ll have to login through your candidate login, which you used to fill up the form, and get the admit card. Certain dates will be mentioned out which you can choose the date most suitable to you, for your SSB. Also you can choose your AFSB center.

When can I expect the results?

Generally, it takes up around 15 days to a month for IAF to publish the results. Keeping that in mind you can expect the results by end of September till first week of October.

Is AFSB same as SSB?

Except for the name rest everything is more or less the same. Except AFSB is meant for IAF candidates only. And through AFCAT you will get to choose AFSB only as your selection center. There are four functional AFSBs, 3 AFSB Gandhinagar being the newest. Others are 1 AFSB Dehradun, 2 AFSB Mysore and 4 AFSB Varanasi. One thing you should keep in mind is that you can’t choose the AFSB if you reside in that city. For example, if your parents live in Dehradun, or you study in Dehradun you can’t choose Dehradun as your AFSB.
