“Patience and determination is the key to success”. How’s the josh aspirants, I am Utkarsh Tyagi, pursuing BTech in CSE. And this is my story of recommendation. I finally got recommended in my 6th attempt from 3 AFSB Gandhinagar for the IAF through NDA on 22 March 2020. I was previously 1-time screen out and 4 conferences out. It was the year 2018 when I completed my 12th and applied for NDA exam, I qualified the written exam and went to Allahabad for SSB in Aug 2018, Unfortunately, I got to screen out and went back. Then went for my 2nd attempt of SSB that was for TES-40 in Sept 2018 and my centre was again Allahbad.

This time I luckily got screened in and was happy enough. I enjoyed with friends over there and it was a nice stay but I was conference out after 5 days. It really broked my heart and I was again sitting on one of those iron benches waiting for my train to go back. Now my 3rd of TES-41 was at Banglore in Feb 2019 this time I prepared a little but unfortunately again got conference out. The 4th attempt of TES-42 was at Bhopal in Jul 2019. This time I took a little coaching so was prepared better as compared to previous attempts. But unfortunately this time it was again conference out I was thinking where the hell I am going wrong.

Now it comes to my fifth attempt it was of TES-43 at Allahbad in Feb 2020 once again as if Allahbad board liked me the most in the world. This time I was chest no. 1 and performed my best in all tasks mainly GTO but was conference out again. I was considering that my life is really a joke and was wondering that would I ever be able to get recommended.

Now it comes to the end of my story through my 6th attempt of NDA 2 2019 at 3 AFSB Gandhinagar on 18 March 2020.

ssbinterviewbook

As the corona era was going so my parents were convincing me not to go for AFSB it will be hazardous. But my passion drove me and I went for AFSB at Gandhinagar.

DAY 1: On the day of reporting, we were at the Pathik Ashram Bus stand and waiting for IAF bus to come. Finally, after some time they arrived and tested us that if there is any symptoms of the corona. Three guys were tested out to be positive and were told to wear mask and precautions more. Total reporting was of 69.

Screening: At the screening test, DSO came and welcomed us. Then after few time our test began the first test was of 2 OIR and I did both confidently. Then a 15mins break was given and after that our next test i.e. PPDT started. The picture shown was totally black and blur and hard to recognize but somehow I was able to make a story showing team spirit quality. The discussion round began after a few mins. I narrated my story in a cool and audible way and gave two-three points in the discussion.

Finally, the screening result came and 50 out of 69 got a screen in and it was the highest no. I have ever seen in the screening.

Later, we were given a new chest no. mine was 49. Then PIQ and forms were filled. After a few hours, we were sent to accommodation. We were informed that our psych tests are going to take place on the same day in the evening it was very surprising to me and I slept for a few hrs and then went for the psych tests.

In psych test, I did all TAT, 50 WAT, 37 SRT and lastly sd.

I made positive stories, sentences and logical reactions in situations.

DAY 2: The next day was our GTO and I was fully ready. We were a group of 9 members and there were two assessors the first time in my history of SSB. One of them was a senior GTO and another was a trainee. We greeted them and our first round that gd began.

The topic of gd1 was the cashless economy. I gave 3-4 points in between discussion and then after few minutes next gd began its topic was the U.S. being a powerful nation- the reason behind it. In this also I gave 2-3 points that’s it. Then our PGT started and I gave various ideas to tackle the obstacles by standing behind only. Finally, it ended and other tasks like snake race, HGT and lecturette took place. I performed well in lecturette and took full to speak and conclude. Finally, the day was called off. And we went to the accommodations.

DAY 3: On the third day also was our GTO only and three tasks were left i.e. command task, individual obstacles and lastly the FGT. The first task was command task and I was called second last in my group. The obstacle given to me in my command task was moderate and was given 15 mins. to complete it. Many objections were being made by the GTOs but I maintained my calm and overcome every objection. Finally, I completed my command task. Then we were taken to individual obstacles ground. When I saw the obstacles I was quite nervous as the obstacles were very tough as compared to the SSB. There was hanging tyre, monkey crawl, balancing bridge, rope climbing etc.

We were then called individually in order wise and I did only 5 out of 10 obstacles least in my whole group.

Finally, some rest was given to us, then after some time, our FGT started. In this task also I gave 2-3 ideas and my group accepted it. Finally, the day was called off and we went back to our accommodations.

DAY 4: On day 4 our interview was scheduled and I was at 10:30 a.m. I got ready and revised a bit of information about the IAF. Finally, I went for my interview.

In the interview room, there was a group captain rank officer sitting and he took my interview. In the beginning, only he started rapid-fire with starting with educational background to my daily routine and hobbies/interest. In the stressed me at various but I didn’t get stressed and smilingly gave all answers in a logical and cool manner. I spoke the truth in my interview and that’s why it went well and for around 45 mins. At last, he wished me good luck and I went back to accommodations.

DAY 5: This was d-day for all of us, either we will be recommended or not. Everyone was in tension we were informed by our DSO that the conference will start at 7:45 a.m. and end by 9:30 a.m. due to corona precautions.

Finally, it started and everyone was coming in just 30 secs or so, it was happening so quickly that we were getting tensed. Lastly, our group’s chance came and we were made to sit in the waiting room and after a few minutes from chest no. 41 to 50 conference started and discussion on each candidate was taking for around 1-2 mins. and inside it was like 30 secs. that’s it.

Finally, my turn came and for me, the discussion went for around 5-6 mins. and inside I was asked only one question i.e. “Why do you want to join the IAF” asked by the air commodore rank officer sitting in between.

After coming out of the conference room I was 95% sure that I may get recommended I then discussed the conference with others and they all were asked the same question i.e. “how was your stay and any suggestions” when I told them about my question they all said that you are recommended.

ssb ebook

Finally, we all were called in the same hall we were sitting earlier and then after a few mins. the DSO came and said “ok gentlemen are you ready for results, so here we go” everyone’s heartbeat raised and then he started calling out the chest no.s  “1,5,14,27,33,39 and then 49(that was mine)”.My body stopped moving and was thinking that it isn’t reality but somehow I gain back the strength and was applauded by everyone for finally getting recommended for IAF. It was the happiest moment of my life and I started crying as I finally made it through my determination, never give up attitude. After so much struggle I finally got what I wanted.

At last, I would like to say that keep working until you do not get what you desire for! Thank you and Jai Hind!

Hello all young blood, I’m Sachin Shakya from Vadodara, Gujarat. I got the taste of recommendation from AFSB Dehradun as my 2nd attempt. Now, I will be presenting my experience in front of you gentlemen. On 10th Feb I had reported to 1 AFSB seeing everyone wanting just one thing at the last of day 5 “RECOMMENDATION”. A total of 65 NDA candidates reported having a mixture of AFCAT candidates also. After phase 1 testing a total of 45 candidates screened in and now start’s the exciting journey.

ssbinterviewbook

Day 1(Screening day): In AFSB centres the psych test happened on day 1 itself So, after all those tough testing we finally got freed by 9 pm. I was quite satisfied with my performance. The advice I want to give to everyone that just try inculcates those 15 OLQs to psych in psychology test.

Day 2 and Day 3: I had my GTO on these days. This time, I was quite prepared for GT. Having like serious and sincere candidates I perform my all task with a mixed feeling of satisfaction & cooperation. For GT I just advice all to show your cooperation and helping nature to GTO. And speak less that also doesn’t mean you you should keep quiet. I mean ‘Speak less but sensible enough like a gentleman’.

spot_img

Day 4: Empty, So had a visit to nearby places there and every candidate who will be reporting at Dehradun should have also tried momos there.

Day 5: I had my interview on this day only and I was stunned when the IO is not asking me any question related to the current affairs but at the last, I got recommended and that is what I wanted. The price of advice I want to give to all that just be honest there because IO is so smart to catch the lier and respond to IO very smartly. 

At least I am very thankful to SSBCRACK because having a candidate taken no SSB coaching I just relied on youtube and Google and there I found SSBCRACK which gives a boost to my preparation. At last, gentlemen just be perfect as much as you can because “You should not be fit for armed forces but armed forces should be fit for you”. Jai Hind.

Recommended for OTA Chennai CDS 1 2019

recommended-for-OTA-Chennai

Hello, everyone I am Ravindra Pratap Singh and I got selected for CDS 1 2019 OTA and soon will be joining the training academy. I got recommended from 22 SSB Bhopal. The reason why I am writing this blog is that I have been in the same spot where some of you maybe. I am talking about the “Repeaters” as we call ourselves. Since I have seen both the sides now I guess sharing my experience might help a few. I have been to 6 SSB’s in total and reached stage 2 in three of them. In the last one got “Recommended” last year in Oct.

ssbinterviewbook

My second conference was in May 2018 and didn’t make it. Only one of the candidate made it and I was curious what was he doing that I am not? What is missing in me at this point of time and what can I do to fulfil the standards. The guy that got recommended was working in a MNC, had cleared UPSC CAPF written and given its interview and also cleared SSB. So I thought this is what I should follow to clear SSB. At that point of time I took that as a Mantra to succeed in SSB but now that I have got recommended I think that Mantra has helped me inculcate qualities and made me more disciplined and responsible towards life.

So, after getting conferenced out in May 2018 I had two goals in my mind 1. I need to start working as soon as possible and 2. I need to clear a good exam to justify the time between graduation and next SSB. So, I prepared for UPSC CAPF AC 2018 exam and appeared for that in Aug 2018 had no expectation of clearing the exam. Then I took a job in Oct 2018 and started working. Luckily in Jan 2019 results came and I cleared UPSC CAPF AC and also cleared CDS for IMA.

Now task was to prepare for physicals of UPSC CAPF along with job which I did and cleared it and then went for IMA SSB to Bengaluru but unfortunately got screened out. Now I had to prepare for UPSC CAPF interview in June at UPSC office Dholpur House. I prepared for it religiously and scored 102/150. (Waiting for Reserve list of UPSC CAPF) Now the task in hand was my upcoming SSB in October. I always have had this thought that I have what it takes to become and officer in Armed Forces. So now I managed my routine properly as I had to go to office be updated with current affairs and also maintain my physical fitness for which I was by playing squash and running. I always wanted to know where do I stand and how much I need to work on myself. For that I gave a mock interview on skype and got a very positive feedback. And for Psychology also I took an online assignment and got to know where I stand.

What was different this time in SSB and how did the above Mantra helped me? This time as always hurdle was getting screened in which I did. Through my introspection I knew I didn’t do well in Psychology in my earlier attempts. Problem was I have it what they are expecting but I was not giving it in writing. Problem was WAT so this time gave meaningful responses and attempted around 55. Example – The word is “Wife” First Two Attempt – Sheila is a good wife. This Attempt – A wife keeps the family together. Something meaningful is expected hence this time WAT was not a problem.

 My interview was the best among all three and I was very confident for my interview and it went well. Just stay confident, put a smile on your face throughout the interview maintain good eye contact and body posture. Stay honest throughout that is what is required.

ssb ebook

GTO- Though every time it has been decent but this time it was better. I had good content that made me stand out in GD itself. I had good content from the rest of the group so whenever I spoke I had something new to speak and also I quoted facts and figures. In GPE I was not able to complete my written solution but I gave all the details in the discussion. Always mention how many men you are allocating to a specific task and at what time they will reach that place. Mention Distance and Time always. Lecturette was good as had good content and spoke confidently. Fill the team with josh during snake race take them together. Rest of the tasks try to take the team together instead of running for fatta and Balli. You can give ideas by staying back as well.

cds ssb interview

I think in this time I was very focused as I have been doing a job, also studying and managing my fitness. I had a routine that I was following and also managing different task simultaneously and responsibly. Also I was enjoying my 5 days by giving my best in the task and interacting with everyone else during free time.

Tour Of Duty Concept Explained By General Manoj Mukund Naravane

There has been many a times, General Naravane recapitulated, when the youth has approached him and asked the most common yet an intriguing question – “What life in the army is all about?” According to him, it was this very curiosity of the young generation leading a civilian life that gave birth to the idea of “Tour of Duty” – an opportunity for the non-defence background individuals to know what a life of a soldier is like.

The ‘Tour of Duty’ provides a glimpse of the army life to the general public, but for a short period of time, a golden chance for those who are not interested to take defence as their lifelong career, but only want to partake the real experience of it. “And it is in this background we are looking at, that can we induct a few people, maybe a thousand a year to start with, for a period of a three years, maybe a truncated training period of six to nine months, and after that, a two years and a half or so, when he serves in the regular army”, confirmed General Naravane.

A candidate can join at the age of 18 years and after serving in the army, he can be free after 21 years of age to pursue the career of his choice in any field. Naravane claimed that his experience in the army will pose as an “added advantage” for it will surely train him in such priceless attributes of army life, viz. “self-confidence, discipline, punctuality” and others, benefitting not only in his character development but also eventually, that of the “society, at large”. An individual inducted  in the “Tour of Duty” will get a brownie point in his CV for serving in the army and will be undoubtedly prioritized above any fresher to get selected by the companies he will be applying to. General Naravane exemplified the importance of work experience for MBA candidates and emphasized the fact that serving in the army can be especially advantageous for such candidates as one of the best instances of work experience.

He further said that after propagating the idea of “Tour of Duty” they “have had even overwhelming responses from the environment”. As a survey result, 92 percent of the surveyees said that they would be interested to be a part of the idea of “Tour of Duty”. “So, I think this is definitely an idea which we can pursue,” assured the General with a final determination.

Brave Lieutenant Birol Das Who Punched Chinese Army Major

We all know, how Indian Army has never left a single chance to make every Indian proud about them. Be it about living up to their motto that is ‘Service before Self’ or any act of Bravery, Today we are going to talk about one such recent act of bravery by one of the soldiers of Indian army at the Indo-Chinese border in Sikkim region. Brave Lieutenant Birol Das Who Punched Chinese Army Major

The Incident as it happened

  • It was a regular day of Border patrolling by the Indian Soldiers along the Indo-Chinese border in the Muguthang region of Sikkim.
  • The next moment the Indian Soldiers spotted some Chinese Soldiers who were apparently in the Indian Territory of Sikkim.
  • Further, The Indian Soldiers tried to intervene and stop them from intruding any further to which the Chinese Soldiers retaliated verbally
  • One of the Major PLA, when asked to go back said “ This is our land and not Indian territory, so just go back”
  • After hearing this, one of the Indian Soldier Lt. Birol Das got furious and he replied “what!!!  This not our land? What the hell”. With these lines he went ahead in front of the major and he quite literally punched his nose.
  • The power of the punch was such that the Chinese Major fell on the ground and even his batch fell off from his uniform and his nose started to bleed.

The Affect

  • The colleagues of the Indian Lieutenant controlled him after his attack in order to avoid any escalation of tension between the two parties in what is currently one of world’s heavily guarded border and most controversial region.
  • The Lieutenant was initially admonished by his senior officers and other officials as this could have led to increased tension between the two countries who have had long history of border disputes and wars.
  • Although, later the officers at the commands located in Kolkata and Sukna congratulated the Young soldier for his brave and fearless attitude.
  • This incident was a huge moral boost up for the local troops and the Indian Army in all as a whole all across the country.
  • The Lieutenant soon became a National Hero, A soldier, a lower Rank Officer who literally made a higher rank PLA Major Bleed.
  • Even the Indian Army Chief MM Naravane made a wish to “have a look at the boy” and allegedly an appointment has already been set with the army chief for the Lieutenant.

The National Hero: Lt. Birol Das

  • He was born and brought up in a military family.
  • His Grandfather served the royal army and then the Indian Air Force
  • His father a retired colonel of Indian Army and has a peak named after him.
  • His sister is also a law graduate and a legal officer in the Indian Army.
  • He himself joined the Indian army after he cleared CDS (1) 2017 with an AIR of 102. His written marks and SSB marks were same and it was 129 for each.

His Father’s Word:

  • When His father was interviewed after the incident and was further enquired about the details of the incident, he being a army man himself humbly said “we soldiers can discuss our past but not our present, so leave my son out”
  • This statement came out as a matter of concern which his son and his carrier might face if the media covers this incident and globalizes or highlights the incident too much by glorifying what the soldier did but at the same time unknowing humiliating the Chinese counter parts which might worsen the situation.
  • His father further added “The Chinese are no great soldiers, they have a lot going in their favour – logistics, weapons, terrain, and communication. But when it comes to raw courage and strength, determination and patriotism, they just cannot match us” which in every word is true to the core.

The Indo- Chinese Battle History

  • India and China share a long international border including many disputed regions like LAC and the borders in Arunachal Pradesh.
  • The battle in 1962 with the Chinese was fought bravely by the Indian Soldiers. They were outplayed by the Chinese resources but never did they ever lack the courage and the patriotism and the bravery in their heart. They fought with everything they had but almost nothing as far as the resources related to combat is concerned.
  • Ever since the Chinese soldiers have been known for their regular intrusions inside the Indian Territory.
  • The recent Doklam issue in 2018 or be it the their intrusion in the LAC region just a week ago, they have always tried to dominate the Indian borders but have faced a above par force o dominance not just by the Indian Soldiers but also the strong policies of the New Government.

The Way Ahead

  • This particular incident has made it loud and clear that the Indian Army is not going to take any kind of dominance or bullying by any enemy at all.
  • This incident will not only make India’s stand clear but will also boost the already up confidence of the Indian Army and the Defence force in general.
  • A senior official further mentioned that “Our boys are much tougher and fiercer than the Chinese. Even in 1962, they fought like hell with next to nothing. Don’t forget Major Shaitan Singh, the hero of Rezang La battle in 1962. Our officers and men have a long history of fighting and dying against insurmountable odds.”

In a significant move, the Indian Army is considering a proposal under which personnel from paramilitary forces would be allowed to serve in the force for a short duration. “The Indian Army is considering a proposal called ‘Inverse Induction Model’ under which there may be an opportunity for personnel from central paramilitary forces to serve in the Army for a short duration,” Indian Army sources told ANI.

The sources said the Army Headquarters is also mulling terms of engagement to be attractive to individuals from the paramilitary forces as well as the force. A number of proposals are being considered by the Army Headquarters for improving its pool of human resources.

The Army is also considering a proposal to give a three-year tour of duty to common citizens in the service who want to work for a brief period for the force in places where they can be of great use to the service. This would also help the force to attract the best of talent from across the country and help it in a big way.

Sources told ANI that the top brass in the Army is also reviewing the Short Service Commission to make it more attractive for the youth. Initially, the Short Service Commission was started with five years minimum service but later it was extended to 10 years.

Cracked SSB In 8th Attempt To Join Indian Military Academy

ssb-interview-IMA

Hello, all defence aspirants! My name is Harmanjot Singh from Bathinda, Punjab. I recently got recommended from 17 SSB, Bangalore for IMA(DE)-149 course in my 8th attempt. It was since childhood that I had an inclination towards the defence forces. The first thing that inspired me to join the forces was a daily soap “SAARA AAKASH”. My journey started in august,2014 when I reported for NDA-133 at 21 SSB, Bhopal. Not confident enough and with bookish knowledge got conferenced out.2nd attempt was again for NDA-135 at 1 AFSB, Dehradun again trying to be an ideal fit for the forces I got conferenced out. In this attempt, I failed in CPSS and was declared unfit for flying. I decided to go for the army now but was out of attempts for NDA so took admission in an engineering college. Again my journey took pace with IMA-146 cleared the written, reported at 17 SSB Bangalore and got screened out. For the next 3 attempts ( 2 tech entries and IMA 147) got screened out and for IMA 148 I got conference out from Kapurthala. I was heartbroken but decided to give it one more shot.

Got the call letter for IMA-149. Reported at 17 SSB, Bangalore on 8th Feb, 2020. A total of 55 candidates reported. Saw a lot of old faces from my last SSB batch of Kapurthala. Done with the form filling and documentation I was allotted chest no. 48. As I had a lot of friends there so we are all having fun and cracking jokes.

Screening- OIR was easy, was able to attempt all the questions and even recheck my answers. OIR is very important in your screening, kindly don’t take it lightly. Next was the PP&DT, it was a clear picture of some people sitting and discussing something. As I had organised several events during my graduation so instantly that came to my mind and I made up a story on organising a farewell party. The narration was never a problem for me and it went very smooth. For the discussion, our group was divided into two halves. It was a complete fish market situation but I made sure that I contributed 3-4 times in the discussion. Be alert, whenever you get a chance put out point constructively and withdraw.

ssbinterviewbook

Results were announced and 26 got screened in. I was allotted chest no. 22.

Psychological Tests – A night before all others were studying and making there SD’s and blank story but I was all chilled out as I had already made up my mind that I’ll be very spontaneous this time.

TAT wrote all the stories related to my day to day activities. I didn’t introduce any problem in any of the stories. Most of my stories were related to trips, organising events, my job (IELTS trainer), helping my sister in her studies etc. In the blank story, I observed the slide for a complete 30 seconds and a story came to my mind which I wrote. Tip- In TAT, observe the picture for 30 seconds carefully, note even the minute details and mention it in the story and try to express your feelings freely.

In WAT, I attempted all the 60 WAT and gave instant and natural responses without beautifying them. Most of the responses were related to my life and the things I used to do. Tip- just write the first thought that comes into your mind without giving a second thought.

In SRT, I was able to do only 33. Again just be natural and write in the response what you’ll actually do in that situation. I took time, imagined myself in the situation and wrote detailed responses. There was a situation where during a hockey match the opponent team members start hitting your team members, i wrote that I will also start hitting them with a hockey stick and also ask my team members to hit them. This is what I would have actually done.

For SD, I just wrote the truth about everything. Either it’s being emotional, short-tempered or my parents thinking of me as very lazy and overusing mobile phone.TIP- just write the truth and trust me it will automatically match with the responses of other 3 tests.

Interview-The NCO will inform you about the timings of your interview. Dress smart,beconfident with a smile on your face and be stress free because you are what you are,you cannot change your personality while sitting in the waiting room.So just chill and answer all the questions honestly with confidence and a smile.I used a lot of hand gestures in my interview and behaved naturally(I was sweating so i even asked the president to switch on the AC 😛 ).When he asked about how i have prepared this time i said that i did nothing and i am showing my natural personality.All the other questions were related to my education,my friends,my job,the activities i have done and also the SD i wrote.. My interview went very smooth and i was able to answer all the questions.And yes,do have a backup plan,do not say that you will continue coming back for ssb and not do anything in your life except that.

Tip- Be confident,be natural,be honest and don’t try to pretend anything that you are not.

GTO-You will get divided into groups for gto tasks. I got a great group(5 got recommended from a group of 9). Gto 1 started with the GD’S and the GPE. Just be patient,natural and try to contribute and give constructive points in the GD’s.In GPE try to complete the written part and give detailed plan(i was not able to complete it).In the discussion part again try to take the group ahead,if people are agruing on same point,finalize it and take the group ahead.After the nominated candidate gave the group story the GTO asked if anybody wants to change anything so i raised my hand and gave my point.There is no harm in doing this(unless you are not a person who point out things which you think are wrong).

Then came the PGT,our group was very supportive.I was mostly standing on the start line and gave only 3-4 ideas but coorporated with the group.If one guy gets the idea just go with it,do not try to impose your idea or do not try to find out flaws in his idea afterall you have to cross the obstacle as a team.Be a sport.Same goes for the HGT and FGT,was able to give ideas where my team got struck.

In the snake race,again be a team member,show your three J’s (Josh,Jazba and Junoon) but also keep in mind the color rule and do not break it.Just enjoy this task.

For the lecturatte,does not matter which topic you choose(my friend spoke on his favorite sport and he got recommended) ,try to give good points,organize your thoughts,make a structure,try to include current affairs if you can.

Next comes the command task.The gto takes a mini interview here,again just be natural and confident.I was given a very easy command task,just had to insert the Phatta and cross the obstacle but i wasted a lot of time in the end over a silly thing.I was just giving instructions to my subordinates,i did not pick up the phatta myself.Brief the subordinates in detail and also thank them after the task.

In the IO,i was able to do only 8.Try to find out a sequence in the obstacles which would score you maximum marks while covering minimum distance.Does not matter where you start(i started with the barrel jump) but i was able to make a very good sequence.

Conference- Be calm,you have already done everything and you cannot change it.For most of the candidates the decision is already made(except the borderliners).I was made to wait for about 15 minutes outside the room where i was singing songs. After 15 minutes the bell rang,i took a deep breathe and went inside with a huge smile.

VP- What were you doing outside Harman?

Me- I was singing sir.

VP- How often do you do that?

Me- Whenever I am free Either i am singing or dancing or listening to music (All of them started laughing)

VP- Life maze mein chal rahi hai phir toh

Me- yes sir (:p)

Then he gave me a situation where i had to prepare a team for a dance competition and i did not have enough members and the time was decreasing.He was rejecting all my answers and inducing stress but i was smiling and giving other responses.

VP- Harman nobody is left in your company who could dance. Your boss is coming again and again and asking you about it. Only two days are left.

Me- (I laughed before giving the answer) sir i will ask my boss to dance with me (:p)

Everybody burst into laughter

In there it went for another 15-20 minutes.

At last he asked me to rate my performance out of 10 which I rated 8.5 giving exact reasons.Analyse your 5 days performance beforehand and know where you did not do well.

After sometime the results were announced,7 out of 26 got recommended ,all hardcore repeaters. When my chest no. was called out for a moment everything went blank and i remebered all of my previous attempts. Standing there all of us were having tears in our eyes.

Finally, I have it in me and I am going to be the first army officer in my family.
