Waiting before the interview in the waiting room is the most uncomfortable time and every candidate feels anxiety during that period. Well, candidates must pay attention during that time because a sound mind will leave a good impression on the interviewing officer (IO).
Your mood, josh, and confidence in the interview are driven by many factors and different people have different ways to manage an unusable mind before a personal interview. It is always said that a sudden action gives a better result than an action that happens after a respective waiting time.
An officer is analyzed to work in a scenario, where he is left under stress and that waiting time is the time of stress and anxiety. To tackle this situation, we are here with some tips to overcome the problem.
Talk to others – The best way to divert your mind is to talk to other candidates in the waiting room. Raise any topic or talk casually. The exchange of comments will re-track your mind and make you feel relaxed.
Don’t predict the future – Most of the time, candidates predict the type of questions, their replies, the reaction of IO, and many more things. Those ideas will trap you in your endless discussion with yourself, which will never lead to any conclusion. Focus and don’t predict what is going to happen in the interview room.
Read something – The waiting room has some magazines and other reading material which can help you in diverting your mind and reducing anxiety. Read the material as it can raise some questions in the interview. Whatever you read, read it with interest.
Think of your good times – Good memories reside in a special corner of the mind. Remember those and regain your confidence to overcome your anxiety problem. Your memories will refresh your mood and will divert your mind.
Relax your body – While feeling anxious, the body processes slows down and lead to a bit of stress and amalgamation of thoughts. In this case, you need some basic tricks to bring back your confidence and stream power in your body to restructure your direction of thinking.
Physical movements – Stand up, expand your arms, stretch your chest and twist your back, loosen up your legs and you will find a new josh in you. With a fresh mind you are ready to face the interview.
Breathe – Concentrating on breathing can relax your mind and body. Long breaths provide sufficient oxygen to the body which regains activeness.
Divert your eye – Just watchingthe thing around and observing them, will help you in relaxing your mind.
Conclusion – A fresh mind can perform better in a personal interview. The more you think about outcomes, the more you will get puzzled. Follow any of the above steps to overcome anxiety and refresh your mind. Once you get control over your mind, then it will be easy to respond correctly to all questions of IO. Always remember, a personal interview is not just about answering the questions, asked by the IO. Rather, it also means the way you reply and testing your endurance in all conditions and circumstances.

In this installment of back to the basics, we will be discussing the third test in the psychological test series, namely Situation Reaction Test (SRT). As an officer in the Armed Forces is required to take decisions at the spur of the moment, it is important to check that how he would react to certain intricate and byzantine situations.
WHAT IS SRT – Situation Reaction Test?
The Situation Reaction Test is largely a test of common sense. In everyday life one comes across certain unforeseen situations and is called upon to resolve them or find a solution for them and to act in an appropriate manner. Hence, a set of 60 incomplete situations are given to the candidates in the form of a test booklet. The candidate gets 30 minutes to complete the set of 60 incomplete situations. It means you get 30 seconds for each situation. In Situation Reaction Test you have to fight against time to complete the test.
Situation Reaction Test SAMPLE SITUATIONS

Situation Reaction Test KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER
It is a test of your common sense.
There are common situations pertaining to everyday life.
Your responses should be practical and must be solvable by a Normal Human Being.
It is advised that you practice a set of SRTs (15-20) questions daily keeping the time limit in mind.
If you cannot think of a response to a situation, it is better to let it go.
Usually, the first response that comes to your mind is the best one.

Jai Hind future warriors, today we are going to look at some of the training institutes of the Indian Air Force.
1. Air Force Academy
Air Force Academy (AFA), the premier Training centre of the Indian Air Force, is the cradle of training for pilots, ground duty and technical officers of IAF. This academy represents the culmination and fruition of a long felt need to have training for officers of all branches in a single institution.
The Air Force Academy formally came into being when the then President of India Dr Zakir Hussain, laid the foundation stone of the edifice on 11 October 1967. The Academy was a vision that sought to concentrate most of the ab-initio officer training of the IAF under one roof.
The training at this academy is designed to foster the spirit of camaraderie and promote healthy interaction among officers of every branch. The academy aims to cultivate honour and integrity in every cadet and strives to graduate Air Warriors worthy of the Indian Air Force.
The mission of AFA is to inspire and transform outstanding young men and women into courageous, dynamic, intellectual and cultured young Air Warriors; motivated to lead one of the leading aerospace forces of the world in service to the nation
The training at the Air Force Academy is designed to inculcate moral values, leadership qualities, sense of honour and duty, mental and physical prowess, a spirit of adventure and the will to win, in the Flight Cadets. This is achieved by training in character building, discipline, military and academic subjects, physical exercise, drill, sports and adventure activities. The underlying theme of activity at the Academy is camaraderie and team spirit and a commitment to excellence. Duty, honour, integrity and self esteem are stressed upon during each stage of training; because these are important abstract qualities to be imbibed by every Flight Cadet. The curriculum and syllabi keep pace with current doctrines and technological developments, allowing the cadets at the same time to imbibe the basic principles / tenets of the military profession.
The College of Air Warfare (CAW) came into being on 01 July 1959, as the School of Land and Air Warfare (SLAW), at New Delhi, after receiving its approval by the President of India (Est. No. 2164 A). The SLAW was formally inaugurated by Defence minister, Sri VK Krishna Menon on 03 September 1959 with the commencement of its first regular course.
Mission:
To evolve the process of learning of air war and promote co-operation in conduct of air operations that leads to effective and efficient utilisation of air power strategy.
Role:
To assist in development of Air Force doctrines, concepts and strategy.
To study and teach ‘Air Power’ and conduct training in concepts of Air Warfare.
To conduct training in Joint Air Operations for officers of Army, Navy and Air Force.
To conduct computer aided War-Games of the Air War.
To establish and maintain liaison with similar organisations in the other countries.
To impart training to junior and middle level officers of the Indian Air Force in leadership and behavioural sciences, so as to improve their qualities of leadership and man management.
To research, compile and publish books on IAF Personalities, Institutions, Campaigns and Squadrons
3. Air Force Technical College (AFTC)
Air Force Technical College (AFTC) was established on 04 Jul 1949, in collaboration with Air Service Training Corps, Hamble, UK, with Gp Capt J Beaumont DFC as the first Commandant. The College was then named “Technical Training College” (TTC). The first Direct Entry Officers (DEO) Course comprising of 34 students graduated from TTC on 22 Jan 51, after 66 weeks of training. During the initial years (1949-1962), in addition to courses for Direct entry officers (DEO), the apprentice training was also being conducted at AFTC. TTC was renamed as AFTC on 01 January 1957, with Gp Capt MJ Kriplani MBE as the first Indian Commandant of the College.
The crest of the College depicts a mechanical gear and emanating electrical waves superimposed by torch bearing an eternal flame. The President of India approved the crest on 08 Aug 62. The crest symbolises the flame of knowledge, which gives rise to the fraternity of mechanical and electronics professionals engaged in pursuit of excellence in aeronautical engineering. The motto printed on the crest ‘Gyanen Shobhamahe’ means ‘it is knowledge through which we find pride in ourselves’. With its multi-faceted growth, the College has lived up to its motto and continues to impart high standards of training to military Aeronautical Engineers. The College was awarded the “Presidential Colors’ ‘ by Smt Pratibha Patil, the President of India on 12 Nov 08
The aim of the College is “To educate and train engineers from various disciplines on current technologies of aircraft, weapon and support systems held in the IAF and also to instil qualities of military leadership, managerial skills, values and ethos of an Air Warrior, to enable them to function effectively as Aeronautical Engineers and development as members of officer cadre of IAF”. The directing staff at College are specialists in their respective fields and most of them are Ph D/ M Tech/ M Sc from IITs, IISc, DIAT and other reputed institutes. Today, the college is a Category-A Training Establishment and awards M Tech in Aeronautical Engineering to officers graduating after ab-initio training.
The aim of the College is to impart advanced training to the officers in various branches of the IAF and perfect their knowledge & skill so as to enable them to handle their duties independently in their respective branches.
The officers graduating from this college proudly carry the lessons of success, positive bearing and confidence endowed in them. So far about more than a lakh Indian officers have been trained in this College. Apart from training the IAF officers, this college is also engaged in the training of officers from other defence services and foreign nationals of friendly countries drawn from Myanmar (erstwhile Burma), Indonesia, UAE, Qatar and Sri Lanka. So far, more than 12,000 foreign officers from these countries have been trained at his college.
The College has won laurels and applause from all quarters. The President of India, Sri KR Narayanan presented the Colours in October 2000.
5. Flying Instructor’s School
The crest of Flying Instructors’ School depicts a torch with an open fist, signifying knowledge imparted and passed on by a flying instructor, and a clenched fist held upright, depicting an under trainee receiving the same. The wings depict aviation.
The motto is ‘VIDYA DANEN VARDHATE ” which signifies that ‘Knowledge when imparted multiplies’. This has been taken from Kautilya’s ‘ARTHASATRA’, the oldest book of Sanskrit literature.
This is the guiding principle of the teaching learning process at the Flying Instructors’ School.
FIS is tasked to impart quality training to experienced pilots and mould them into dedicated and extremely skilled flying instructors.
At FIS, the flying skills and professional knowledge of these U/T QFIs are honed to enable them to undertake the arduous task of imparting flying training more effectively and efficiently.
The QFIs who successfully graduate from FIS are entrusted with the responsibility of training ab-initio pilots at flying training establishments and moulding them into future Air Warriors. Subsequently at the operational units, these specialists would impart training to aircrew in various roles that the unit is entrusted to perform.
It is to the credit of the School and its staff, past and present, that it has also successfully integrated the training of officers from the sister services and friendly foreign nations.
6. The Institute of Aerospace Medicine
The Institute of Aerospace Medicine established the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) in March 2011.

Want To Join Indian Air Force and Prepare For The AFCAT Exam?
Hello Everyone, I am Mehul Gupta, 25, have done M.Tech in civil engineering from Gautam Buddha University, Gr.Noida. I have got recommended from 1AFSB, Dehradun on the historic date of 26th November 2021. It was my 5th attempt, I got screened out in all my previous 4 attempts and this was my last attempt at AFSB.
From my previous failed attempts, I realized that I need to work upon my increasing my accuracy at OIR tests, for which the practice sets provided by SSBCrack OIR have helped me immensely, along with that, as it was my last chance, I decided to take guidance from a coaching institute, which showed me the right direction when it comes to attempting psych tests, PI and GTO.
I reported at 1 AFSB, Dehradun on 22nd November 2021. A total of 200 people were reported at the center. Initially, we were given our breakfast then the OIR tests were conducted. I performed really well in the OIR tests and PPDT. Coming to the discussion part, I was the only screened out competing with the repeaters. I was unsure about the GD part. I delivered my best in the narration and contributed to the GD. As a result 55 of us got screened in out of 200. Same-day in the evening, psychology tests were conducted. It went smoothly. I attempted all the TATs, WATs, and 58 SRTs.
From day 2 onwards, GTO and PI were conducted. In GTO, I feel the most important factors were group behaviour, general knowledge, and Fitness. I believe I was able to deliver my best at those tests. Coming to the PI, I feel this was the most fun experience I had in my life when it comes to facing an interview. It was very jolly, I was able to keep things light and use humour to my advantage (liveliness factor counts, don’t get subdued under pressure) My conference was short and crisp, lasted for a minute only.
Finally, the results were announced and 4 of us made it. It was an emotional moment for me. I took a break from my professional life just to make this opportunity count.
To join the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force and Crack the AFSB, NSB & SSB Interview, You can join our SSB interview live classes batch and we recommend you to Enroll in SSB INTERVIEW ONLINE COURSE. Trusted by thousands of defence aspirants.
So I would like to say this to all the defence aspirants, don’t lose hope. Every failure is a stepping stone to your success. Keep improving on your mistakes and never repeat the same. Surely, one day all the weaknesses will turn into your strengths.
