Do achievements matter?

indian military academy

While filling the PIQ form, there are sections which ask you about your achievements in different things. While some of your academic and extra-curricular records are full of achievements, some of you were probably a quiet child in school and college and thus do not have that much of achievements. Those candidates who do not have that much of achievements often feel a little conscious on seeing candidates having so many of them. They feel intimidated and become nervous as a result. The question here is, are achievements important from SSB’s point of view?

What achievements are we talking about?

If you have achievements in different aspects it certainly means you are good in that thing. It is not indian military academynecessary that you should have achievements regarding studies only, or regarding sports only. You can have achievements in any field. Everybody has their own zone, and they are masters in their zone. No achievement id big or small, if you have done something small too, it is important and noticeable. Here we are talking about all kinds of achievements, it can be winning a small debate in your class or it might be a national level thing, both are equally important. However, it is highly advised that you should mention only those which you have a certificate for. You should be able to back up what you are saying, and should be in a position to answer questions related to that event.

Are they decisive in selection?

Not really. SSB is to look for Officer Like Qualities. Having achievements show that you are good and confident. So from that point of view they do cast an impact. If you have been a person who used to participate in a lot of activities and bag prizes for the same, then definitely you have the confidence to face the public, be a leader and be good in something. They certainly play a vital role in enhancing your personality. So if you look it this way, they do help you in certain way. But one thing to keep in mind is that no amount of achievement is going to help if you are not having the OLQ’s and even if you don’t have any achievement then too having OLQ’s will definitely put you through.

What if I don’t have any achievement?

As mentioned above, if you have it in you you’ll make it through, irrespective of the number of achievements. One thing I want to mention here is that everybody has potential and everybody has something in which they are good at. Identify that thing. And maybe you have certain achievements but are not sure whether to put it or not. My advice is do put it, no matter how small it is. However keep in mind that if you have a lot of achievements then mention the big one’s only, and ignore the small one’s. Everybody has a hero inside them, it’s the time that you wake that up and identify.

Failed in Written Test? What To Do Next

written test

You see our website flooded with articles on what to do after you clear a certain exam, especially after any results are announced. I am sure those articles help our aspirants who clear the written, however this article id being written for those who do not clear the written. So guys, what do you need to do after you don’t clear a written exam, I ‘ll save the moral lecture of not losing hope and trying again because I am sure you want to do that and that is why you started reading it in the first place. Well here is a quick list, go through it:

Failed in Written Test? What To Do Next

  1. Do not spend more than two days in sadness: I know it can be really hard to see your friends get written testthrough the exam you gave as well. You might have been the know all person, teaching everybody stuff, and helping them out with things. But as the results came you saw your number was not in the list and you turned into the dark horse (the other way round). You have a right to get sad. So what, you cannot afford to spend more than two days in being sad. As you have more work to do than those who cleared it.
  2. Next two days scrutiny: Now pull out the question paper, and analyze it. Mark the areas you were weak and couldn’t answer in red. This process should also not take more than two days. You time is precious! So find out the reason why you may have failed.
  3. The morning after that: Get up early the next morning. Make a cup of coffee, and sit down with your study material. No time can match the morning studies. Congrats you have successfully started your preparations. But wait, this is not the time to start studying. This is the time to plan. This morning you plan you routine of studies. Anything done in a timely fashion will yield result.
  4. The beginning: Do not wait after planning. I am sure you planned in a proper way by analyzing in which areas you need more help. So study your way through till the next exam. You need to follow your study plan and so I am requesting you to make a realistic one. It is easy to say that you’ll study five hours but difficult to follow. So make a realistic plan. Make notes, that will help you in revising at the end.
  5. Keep track: the best way to keep track is to note what you studied. So maintain a record for the dame. Note down the topics you have mastered.
  6. Be productive: Sit only for an hour but make sure that things are going in your head. There is no point struggling for five hours and not retaining anything.
  7. Keep updating yourself: In the process do not forget to keep a track of the upcoming exams. Make a note of all of the exams which you are eligible for, their exam dates and the dates on which the form submission starts and ends.

I know it can be disheartening to fail at the first step, but it is easier to prepare from the beginning and start all over again. Happy preparations!

Is taking a break for SSB justified?

ssb interview

We get a lot of questions from candidates who ask us that will be right for them to drop a year and prepare for SSB. A lot of candidates form different age groups ask the same question, some ask about dropping after 12th, a year to prepare for exams after 10+2. Some candidates ask that should they take up a job or not after graduation, in order to prepare for SSB. Some are confused that whether they should continue with their job or take a break and prepare for SSB. Here we are trying to deal with such questions:

Is taking a break for SSB justified

  1. Should I drop a year to prepare for SSB? I would suggest you not to. You might think that if you ssb interviewdrop a year it’ll show your dedication towards your goal of getting into defense. But this decision is not logical and practical. If you take a break and still not succeed then that break will turn out to be a waste. A break after your education will raise some questions definitely in your interview for a job, or if you get through a good institute like IIM or any other decent college. I am not saying that you gap will be a cause of rejection in private sector, but you’ll have to face unnecessary questions. Also taking a gap for preparing for SSB is not a way to show your sincerity, it doesn’t impresses the board in any way.
  1. Won’t the preparation and job/study be hectic? Definitely it’ll be a little hectic, but do you think your job in defense will be easy? Certainly not. If you stick to a routine and make sure that you are doing continuous preparations it’ll never get out of control. The problem arises when things pile up, and then you’ll feel workload. Otherwise if you are sticking to you routine of preparing every day, even for say and hour, you’ll not feel much pressure.
  1. How can I manage frequent leaves to go for SSB’s? Another thing which candidates worry about is the leaves from their work or college. They say that since there are so many entries in the defense sector, hence they may find a chance to appear for a lot of them. How can they manage to get leaves so often. My suggestion here is that, in some cases you can schedule your SSB, so in that case schedule along with your leaves. Else you can try for absentee batches. Other option is to get paid leaves. You can also choose the SSB/entry which you find is best suited for you and go selectively for them. I have seen a lot of working people making it through.
  1. Will I get enough time to prepare? As mentioned it’ll be a little hectic, but you can find time. I have a friend who made it in navy. She was working for an MNC, and had to travel every day to her office for about 2 hours. She used to read SRT’s, TAT and GK on her way to office, and then in office too she used to read stuff as soon as she used to find time. So it depends on your determination. In fact it’ll cast a much better impression on the board to see that you are working also, and can perform well in SSB too.

Mistakes to avoid during Psychological Tests

1
Psychologist-Test-Day-2-SSB

Psychological Tests are a battery of tests through which the psychologist assesses a candidate. These tests include Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), Word Association Test(WAT), Situation Reaction Test (SRT) and Self-Description Test (SDT). These tests are the only medium through which a psychologist can judge a candidate. He bases his judgment on what a candidate writes in the answer sheet and on the PIQ form that a candidate fills. Your personality which comes out from the PIQ form should match with the personality which comes out from the answers you write in the paper. Since the psychologist never meets you in person, except for the conference, these tests and the PIQ form are the only means to impress him. He can get to know you only through these tools. So there is a huge need to be careful about it. Given below are a few mistakes to avoid during these tests:

Mistakes to avoid during Psychological Tests

  1. Writing in a bad handwriting: As mentioned above, your test papers and your PIQ form is the only Psychologist-Test-Day-2-SSBway in which you are judged by the psychologist. You would have heard that first impression is the last impression, and in order to make a good first impression, you need to write in a legible handwriting. The time constraint in these tests is severe and it puts you under a huge pressure to write fast, and eventually your hand writing becomes pathetic. Try as much as possible to avoid bad handwriting and write in a neat, legible way.
  2. Writing preconceived ideas: You may fall for some plots of the stories, or some mature reactions or some attractive sentences, or somebody’s mind-blowing self-description. These may attract your attention and may appeal to you so much that you would like to write them in your own paper. But the thing about these things is that, they are not yours. They are from somebody else, and psychology just like finger print is different for everybody. So be original in your thoughts.
  3. Being Nervous: Now you would say that it is not in your hand, but being nervous is only going to block your head and clog your mind, and thus you’ll lose all the ideas which you may have utilized otherwise to think. Although it is hard to avoid being nervous because of the time constraint since you have to do a lot of thinking in a short duration. To avoid being nervous, all you need to do is practice before you go for the SSB.
  4. Not looking the picture properly: Candidates tend to rush into start writing the story as soon as the picture appears. So they do not pay enough attention on the picture. The 30 seconds for which the picture appears on the screen is only given for the thinking part, do not rush into writing the things that time. Utilize the time to see the picture thoroughly.

Things which do not help in SSB Interview (But we think they do)

indian air force pilots

Hello aspirants. We hear so many things from so many sources, about SSB. Some tell us that clothes are important while some others tell us that English is. We are torn between the things which are important and which are not. We often take advices from our friends who have been to SSB, or from somebody who we think can guide us. We hear so many versions of important thing that we get confused, and device a new version for ourselves! Here through this piece of writing I hope I can remove some doubts as to what things are not important in SSB.

Things which do not help in SSB Interview

  1. Dress: Appearance matters, sometime a lot. But a job in defense is not a media job, where indian air force pilotsappearance would count so much. You would say that how can I neglect the importance of dress, when I myself write about being in proper and suitable dress. Well dressing is important, but the type of dress is more important. What I mean by saying this is that you need to be dressed according to the occasion, but do not panic if you are not. If you are directly coming from GTO, for the interview, you better focus on calming yourself. So for them dress is like a rule, you don’t have to show your best fashion sense, but just be dressed in the thing they ask you to, in modest form.
  2. English: The language you are supposed to communicate your ideas in is English. It does not mean that you have to be totally expert in English. We always tell you to focus on English. That is because we do not want the language to be a hindrance in your thoughts, which you want to communicate. I have seen a few friends of mine, who were very bad in spoken English, but still managed to become officers, and they spoke whenever they got stuck in Hindi. So you can communicate your thoughts in Hindi, but revert back to English as soon as possible.
  3. Having a defense connect: A lot of people tell us that officer’s kids have it easy in SSB. In fact I have done an article on how they do not have it easy, instead it is more difficult for them! You need not have a defense connect to be successful in SSB. They take you for who and what you are not what your back ground is.
  4. A star studded school or college background: Many candidates feel that they do not have enough achievements in sports or extra-curricular and so they might not be able to get through SSB. It is not a competition, it is test for the right fit, even if you are a winner of national level sport or cultural thing, but if you don’t have what they are looking for they won’t take you.

I would like to conclude by saying that the most important thing in SSB is being who and what you are and having the qualities which they are looking for, anything else is not important.

5 Elements of Success

ota chennai

Success is not a one day process, it is not one quality. Success is a combination of days of work, and number of qualities. You all must be aware that for success hard work is required, but apart from hard work also, there are a few things which are required. These qualities or elements of success are not something you are born with, it is something you acquire with time. Success is a continuous process, and you need to make constant efforts for it. I am going to mention five elements of success, which you must have or even if you don’t have, try to acquire, so that you can attain your goal.

5 Elements of Success

  1. Organization: Organizational ability is the foundation for success. If you organized in the way you ota chennaiwork, you’ll definitely find it easy to work towards your goal. Organization gives you an extra edge, as it simplifies your work. An organized person is supposed to be responsible, so with organization comes the responsibility. Just give an extra minute to plan and organize your moves, or your strategy for working, and you’ll see how much convenient it becomes for you to work in the direction of your goal.
  2. Time Management: This is another aspect of success. You need to understand that things do not happen in a day or so, it takes time for anything to happen. Now your goal might be the most important thing for you, but because of that you can’t overlook the other things in you life. Here comes the concept of time management. Define the exact amount of time you need for each thing. This way you can avoid procrastinating, and you’ll have your work done on time. Trust me there is no better and relaxing feeling that to know that you have completed your work on time.
  3. Defining priorities: Certain things in our life might be having more priorities than other things. Once you can analyze and understand the priorities you can simplify your work and give the required time to the all the things. Priorities need to be decided by you only, as nobody else can know what things have more importance in your life and what things won’t. So find out the priority of things in your life, and assign them their required time. Like the thing which is of utmost important to you, should have the maximum time assigned from your day.
  4. Never saying die: This is an attitude only winners can have. Or for the matter of fact you can say that only the people who have this attitude become the winner. Giving up is an easy thing, it takes guts to rise up and do the same thing again, in which you faced disappointments. So the next time you are on the verge of giving up, just think, let me try once more, and who knows I’ll succeed. But trying again without any improvement is of no use, so try again but make sure you have improved (if slightly, then too its fine) from before.
  5. Self-Confidence: Having self –confidence is the most important ingredient of success. If you are not going to believe in yourself, nobody else will. So put in all your efforts and this self-confidence will come to you instantly.

A lot has been talked about his calm behavior in and out of the field. Critics wonder how he can be so composed even in pressure situations. He has won the world cup and all major trophies, and is termed to be the best finisher in the world in modern cricket. Even in the semi-finals he was outstanding, like a wall when the wickets on the other end were falling. Aussies were still tensed while he was on the pitch, knowing that till he is there India can still win. Had it not been a bad run out, he would have changed the game definitely. Here are the qualities of our Captain Cool, which make him a success, and are inspiration for a lot of us:

HE says that he loves serving his country and would like to serve in the Territorial Army after retiring from cricket, of which he is a part.
  6. Sharing the credit: Dhoni is never seen taking credit for the wins. He always says that the team performed well. And when they lose any match he takes the blame on himself. Sign of a true gentleman and a good leader, right?

Surya Kiran (“Sun Rays”) is an aerobatics demonstration team of the Indian Air Force.
