My name is Adhidev Singh Jasrotia. I hail from Nurpur, Himachal Pradesh. My father is a Government Associate Professor and my mother is a Homemaker. I have got recommended for the (TES SSB Interview) TES-49 entry from 19 SSB Allahabad on March 14, 2023, with AIR 138.

BackStory

This was my 5th attempt with my previous attempts as:-

  1. NDA-149(C/O)
  2. 10+2 Navy Tech(C/O)
  3. TES-48(C/O)
  4. NDA-150(S/O)
chest number

After I got screened out from my NDA-150 attempt. I was disheartened, didn’t trust myself thinking maybe my personality isn’t fit for the armed forces because I had received constant feedbacks of being too kind hearted for the armed forces. I had planned not to go for anymore SSB’s and focus on my JEE exam since I had taken a drop year.

20 SSB Interview Questions For Freshers [With Sample Answers]

But my parents and friends helped me to get my confidence. I realized it was about how I let those comments of being kind hearted affect me.

So, I decided to go for my TES SSB Interview TES-49 SSB with the same intent and with the zeal to get recommended for the way I was without changing anything with my personality.

Screening Test

  1. 118 candidates had reported on the screening day.
  • I was excited for the screening test because I had realized where I went wrong because of which I had got S/O for the first time in which my story was irrelevant.
  • The Intelligence Test had two booklets(Verbal and Non-Verbal) 28 minutes to solve.
  • My Intelligence Test went well. I was sure that more than 80% of my questions were correct.
  • In the PPDT, the picture was really hazy(Even the assessors accepted that) and a lot of candidates had different stories.
  • I had perceived a boy holding up his hands and running while some other boys were running towards him. So, I decided to make a story of a cricket match preparation with my protagonist as the Captain and how did he handle the team.
  • My narration went well as well. I was confident, didn’t loose my pace.
  • In the Discussion, a lot of candidates had different stories. But we did come to a conclusion with a respectful discussion. I participated well in the GD, gave 2-3 logical points, respected and supported others points as well.
  • When the result arrived, 32 candidates got screened in and I was alloted with CHEST NO. 22.
  1. Our further day, went on with filling the PIQ forms, documentations. We were sent to our lines and started to bond.

Psychological Tests

TATs:- In my previous attempts, I had noticed that I tend to write similar stories in my TATs a lot of times. So, this time I focused on bringing diversity in my stories, which was successfully able to do so. I have wrote all the 12 stories well on time.

WATs:- I attempted all the WATs. This time I wrote the sentences straight out of my heart than using my mind to make a grammatically good correct sentence. For example, FOR THE WORD LIEUTENANT. I HAD JUST WRITTEN LOVE AND RESPECT.

SRTs:- I had attempted 45 SRTs but was confident with the answers I had given.

Self Description:- I again wrote it straight out of my heart. I wrote down the positives as well as negatives in each paragraph.

OVERALL:- I was satisfied with my psychological test and was looking forward with the interview and GTO.

SSB Interview Question: Tell 5 Major Changes Required In The Army To Make It Better

Personal Interview

  1. It was conducted on DAY3 after GTO-1.
  • My interview started on not a great side. We were informed to wear masks and carry a water bottle. But I forgot to wear my mask as I was informed by the previous candidates that the Interviewing Officer will ask you to open it up and keep it aside.
  • So, the first question of my interview was ,“WHERE IS YOUR MASK?” I gave him the reason of why I didn’t wear it but he grinded me by saying, ”BUT IT IS A MUST TO FOLLOW THE PROTOCOLS IN DEFENCE.” I didn’t let it bother me much and continued with my intereview.
  • The interview was mostly focused on my life and I wasn’t asked a single technical question.
  • He grinded me on various parts like TAKING A DROP YEAR, CHANGING MY SCHOOL FROM ICSE TO GOVERNMENT IN 12TH, PREFERING ONLINE COACHING OVER OFFLINE, PREFERRING CORPS OF SIGNALS OVER INFANTRY.
  • But this time I was confident with my answers and gave all the legitimate replies about me preferring one over the other.
  • ABOUT TAKING A DROP, I told him about how I was focused on my NDA and my class 12th only. Since, I had cleared NDA and I had scored 97% in class 12th. The reason was legitimate. I told him that I had given JEE, just to qualify for TES & Navy Tech entries and needed a chance so that I don’t regret it in the future that I could have taken a drop and scored better. Luckily my JEE 2023 result was out by then and I had scored 90 percentile as compared to 78 percentile in 2022. I told him that I still have April attempt and will score much better.
  • ABOUT CHANGING MY SCHOOL FROM ICSE TO GOVERNMENT, I gave him a legitimate reason of my school being far from my home and the inter state travel which was difficult during COVID. I told him if COVID had not come, then I wouldn’t have changed my school. Also, I told him about the advantage of studying in a Government school and the incentives that the government gives during jobs.
  • ABOUT PREFERING ONLINE EDUCATION, I told him the advantages of it, told him about lack of good nearby coaching, plus the shut down of institutions during COVID. I also proved that it wasn’t about me not stepping out of my co comfort zone and also cleared that I love to meet new people as well(on being called an introvert)
  • ABOUT PREFERING CORPS OF SIGNALS, he grinded me over the fact that we would rather choose an IITian over such a job than you. I convinced him that IITian can code but not all can match the lifestyle of the armed forces. Also I mentioned that, they get into IITs on basis of PCM while Signals was about IT. So I said the IT skills can’t be just judged on basis of PCM.
  • There was a funny incident in the interview as well where he was asking me about my friends. While taking the names of my female friends. I saw a wicked smile on his face, so I directly said they are like sisters to me sir. He bursted in laughter saying my smile told you about my next question. Maybe you can take my place in the future.
  • I did lack in my military knowledge and when I was asked about my weaknesses. I simply said,”After the interview, I felt my military knowledge is pretty weak and I would love to improve that.”  He told me it’s good that you are accepting it than saying some preconceived weakness.
  • I was doubtful about my interview. But decided to focus on the process and the further events.

GTO

GD:- My GD didn’t go well. I didn’t speak a lot in both the GDs. I had only spoken thrice and that too only for maximum 30 seconds each time. But I listened actively in it.

GPE:- As my GD didn’t go well, I put extra effort in GPE. I gave logical points, respected others points as well. Took the group forward.

PGT:- As a group, we coordinated really well but was my contribution as less in the PGT.

GOR:- The GOR went well. Our group was far was ahead in the end of all the groups. I helped out in all the obstacles, lifted people up, motivated the ones behind, kept on with the war cry.

During the double wall, while crossing the beam I saw one of the candidate of other group fall from the beam. This made me disbalance as well but I quickly rushed back to do it again.

Individual Obstacles:- I completed 9/10 obstacles.

HGT:- As my PGT didn’t go well. My contribution in the HGT was good. I gave ideas when the group got stuck.

Command Task:- My command task was of a moderate level. But I completed it quickly with the simplest ideas.

I got one plus point in the CT, when one of the chest numbers that called me as a subordinate wasn’t able to get through and when he asked for help, my idea worked.

Final Group Task:- FGT was fun. The GTO wasn’t even seeing our group doing the task. He had already mad the decision

cantonments

The government is planning a significant change by transitioning almost all British-era cantonment towns to be governed by municipalities in their respective states.

This move aims to eliminate the colonial practice of military governance over civilian areas surrounding important stations.

A comprehensive list of 58 cantonments slated for the transition has been shared with the respective states.

Notable cantonments such as Delhi, Pune, Ambala, and Ahmedabad, as well as hill stations like Kasauli and Landsdowne, are included in the list. However, for security reasons, only two cantonments – Jammu and Srinagar – have been excluded from the current plan.

While discussions have been initiated, there is currently no set timeline for the implementation process.

Minister of State for Defence, Ajay Bhatt, clarified that the transfer of civil areas and their merger with state municipalities necessitates active consultation and approval from the concerned state governments.

As a result, providing a specific timeframe for its execution is currently not feasible, as it depends on the cooperation and agreement of the respective states.

In response to a Indian Army Soldier’s misconduct of sharing confidential information with a Pakistan embassy staffer in the national capital regarding military activities along the northern borders, the Army Court Martial has handed down a sentence of over 10 years in jail.

The court martial, presided over by an officer, found the Indian Army Soldier guilty of providing secret information to a Pakistani spy, as confirmed by defense officials.

The soldier had been in contact with a Pakistani national named Abid Husain, also known as Naik Abid, who worked at the High Commission for the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in the Indian national capital.

The sensitive documents shared by the soldier with the enemy spy agency included the guard duty list of the formation where he was deployed, as well as details about his own formation’s activities.

Moreover, the soldier attempted to pass on information related to the vehicles of the formation, along with a list of vehicle movements during the Covid lockdown.

It’s worth noting that the soldier had access to only insignificant information.

The Army adopts a zero-tolerance approach towards such serious breaches, and they have made it clear that exemplary punishment has been given to the guilty individual.

The Indian Army is a formidable force known for its discipline, valor, and commitment to safeguarding the nation’s sovereignty. At the forefront of this esteemed organization are lieutenants, who hold a crucial role in leading and guiding their units.

As the junior-most commissioned officers, lieutenants are entrusted with significant responsibilities that shape their soldiers’ morale, training, and operational efficiency.

In this article, we will delve into the powers and duties of a lieutenant in the Indian Army, exploring their essential tasks, leadership responsibilities, and the impact they have on the force’s overall effectiveness.

Duty of a Lieutenant

Leadership and Unit Management

The primary duty of a lieutenant in the Indian Army revolves around effective leadership and unit management. They are responsible for the well-being, discipline, and operational readiness of their soldiers. This entails maintaining a high standard of morale, fostering camaraderie, and ensuring the welfare of their troops both in barracks and in the field. Lieutenants are expected to lead by example, demonstrating unwavering courage, determination, and dedication to instill the same qualities in their subordinates.

Lieutenant

Training and Skill Development

Lieutenants play a pivotal role in the training and skill development of their units. They are involved in the planning and execution of various training exercises, ranging from physical fitness routines to tactical simulations. Ensuring that their soldiers are proficient in weapons handling, combat techniques, and military protocols is vital to enhance the unit’s combat readiness. Additionally, lieutenants are responsible for conducting regular assessments of their soldiers’ progress and identifying areas that need improvement.

Mission Execution and Tactical Operations

When deployed in the field, lieutenants act as the link between their commanding officers and the troops on the ground. They are instrumental in implementing the overall mission objectives and strategies. In combat scenarios, lieutenants must make critical decisions under pressure, adapt to dynamic situations, and lead their units effectively to achieve the mission’s success. Their ability to think on their feet and maintain composure amidst adversity is crucial in such high-stakes situations.

Lieutenant Power and Authority

Commanding Authority

As commissioned officers, lieutenants possess inherent commanding authority over their subordinates. They are responsible for maintaining discipline, enforcing military regulations, and ensuring that orders from higher-ranking officers are followed without question. This authority extends to decisions relating to the training, welfare, and conduct of their soldiers.

Delegation and Decision-making

While lieutenants have command over their units, they also have the power to delegate responsibilities to non-commissioned officers (NCOs) and other personnel. Effective delegation allows them to focus on critical tasks while empowering their subordinates to take charge of specific duties. Additionally, lieutenants are entrusted with making important decisions during military operations, which can significantly impact the outcome of the mission.

Mentorship and Guidance

Lieutenants are not only leaders but also mentors to their soldiers. They provide guidance, counsel, and support to the personnel under their command. By fostering a supportive environment, lieutenants help in the personal and professional development of their subordinates, motivating them to excel in their roles and contribute to the overall success of the unit.

The role of a lieutenant in the Indian Army is one of immense responsibility and honor. They are the backbone of their units, leading from the front, and shaping the future of the organization through their leadership, dedication, and unwavering commitment to duty. As they progress through their military careers, lieutenants continue to evolve, taking on higher responsibilities and growing into even stronger leaders who continue to serve and protect the nation with valor and distinction.

The National Defence Academy (NDA) has long been renowned for its prestigious military training and grooming future leaders of the armed forces.

Traditionally, the NDA was an all-male institution, but a significant and transformative change occurred in 2022 with the commencement of female candidate recruitment. This marked a historic milestone for the NDA as 57 women cadets were inducted into the academy.

The year 2022 witnessed a historic moment in the history of the National Defence Academy, as it opened its doors to aspiring women candidates.

The decision to recruit female cadets shattered traditional gender barriers, making way for a more inclusive and diverse institution. This step is not only a reflection of societal progress but also highlights the growing recognition of women’s capabilities and contributions in the defense sector.

The induction of 57 women cadets into the NDA brings to the forefront the talent and potential that exists across various States and Union Territories in India. The State/UT-wise recruitment data demonstrates the nationwide enthusiasm among women to serve their country through the armed forces.

Haryana emerged as a strong contributor, proudly sending 19 female candidates to the NDA. Following closely, Uttar Pradesh displayed remarkable progress with 12 women cadets joining the ranks. States like Delhi, Kerala, Punjab, and Rajasthan also showcased their commitment to gender equality by contributing a substantial number of women candidates.

NDA Encouraging Gender Diversity:

The induction of female candidates not only fosters gender equality but also promotes a more diverse and inclusive learning environment within the NDA. By bringing in different perspectives and experiences, these women cadets contribute to the holistic development of the academy and its trainees.

Furthermore, gender diversity in the NDA nurtures a culture of mutual respect, breaking down stereotypes, and challenging preconceived notions about women’s roles in the armed forces. It sends a powerful message that the NDA values talent, competence, and dedication, regardless of gender.

While the recruitment of female cadets in the NDA represents a significant leap forward, there are challenges to be addressed. Ensuring a safe and supportive environment for women candidates, developing gender-sensitive training modules, and promoting equal opportunities for growth and leadership are areas that demand attention.

The induction of women in the NDA also opens up new opportunities for research and innovation in adapting training methodologies to cater to the needs of a diverse cadet population. By embracing gender-inclusive practices, the NDA can further strengthen its position as a center of excellence in military training.

The recruitment of 57 women cadets in the National Defence Academy marks a transformative moment in the history of the institution. It is a testament to the evolving mindset of the nation and its commitment to gender equality and empowerment. These women cadets, hailing from different corners of the country, bring with them a spirit of dedication and patriotism.

As they embark on their journey at the NDA, they carry the aspirations of millions of young girls who dream of breaking barriers and serving their nation. The NDA’s decision to embrace gender diversity not only strengthens the armed forces but also sets a powerful example for the entire nation.

The induction of women in the NDA is not just a step forward; it is a leap towards a more inclusive and progressive India – an India that acknowledges and cherishes the invaluable contributions of women in all spheres of life, including the defense sector. It is a giant stride towards a stronger, more united, and equal India.

Indian Army Officer

Officials in the Defence Ministry have revealed that the Indian Army, Air Force, and Navy are facing a significant shortage of officers, with the total number surpassing 11,000. The Army bears the brunt of this shortfall, accounting for more than half of the vacant positions.

The specific ranks experiencing scarcity are Majors and Captains, while the Indian Air Force is grappling with shortages in important positions such as Squadron Leaders and Flight Lieutenants. Similarly, the Indian Navy also faces a shortage of officers, including those of the Lieutenant Commander rank.

ota chennai

The Ministry of Defence attributes these vacancies to the low recruitment of officers during the Covid-19 pandemic. They explain that the scarcity of 11,266 officers, including those of Major and Captain ranks and equivalent positions, can be attributed to the reduced recruitment efforts during the pandemic period. This has resulted in a notable dearth of personnel in the Indian Air Force and the Navy as well.

In a written communication to Parliament, the Ministry of Defence informed that the Indian Army alone has more than 6,800 vacant officer positions. The Army is specifically short of 2,094 officers at the Major level and 4,734 officers at the Captain level. Similarly, the Indian Air Force is facing a shortfall of 881 Squadron Leaders and 940 Flight Lieutenants.

Minister of State for Defence, Ajay Bhatt, disclosed that the Navy is experiencing a shortage of 2,617 officers, encompassing the ranks of Lieutenant Commander and below. He attributed this scarcity to the pandemic’s influence on officer appointments in the Air Force, Navy, and Army.

Additionally, the Ministry of Defence pointed out that the inadequate recruitment in auxiliary cadres, such as the ‘Short Service Commission’ (SSC), has also contributed to the shortfall of officers across the forces.

In a historic move, US President Biden has nominated Admiral Lisa Franchetti, a highly accomplished female officer, to lead the US Navy. If confirmed, she will become the first woman to head a Pentagon military service branch.

With a remarkable career that includes serving as the former head of the US 6th Fleet and US naval forces in South Korea, as well as commanding an aircraft carrier strike group, Admiral Lisa Franchetti has demonstrated her exceptional leadership skills.

However, before Admiral Lisa Franchetti appointment can be finalized, it must go through the confirmation process in the US Senate.

Unfortunately, this process has been hindered by a lawmaker who is currently blocking confirmations of military leaders to protest a military abortion policy.

Nonetheless, Admiral Lisa Franchetti’s appointment as Chief of Naval Operations would be a groundbreaking achievement, granting her membership in the elite group of senior military officers known as the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Despite reports suggesting that the US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin initially recommended another candidate, TOPGUN graduate Samuel Paparo, the President’s choice of Admiral Franchetti underscores the importance of her exceptional qualifications and trailblazing achievements.
