Stammering is a habit disorder linked with lack of self-confidence. Basically, for a child to understand a language, there are four stages. The first is learning to understand the spoken language and the second is speaking. Both of these usually develop around the age of two. The third stage is speaking complex sentences, which develops at around three and the fourth is when the child recognizes the written alphabet. In 80% of children while the third and fourth stage are at play, the first two get disturbed because something new is being incorporated in the mind. This is absolutely normal. But what over cautious mothers do is fret a lot and the child develops a fear which later manifests itself as stammering. Infact, most textbooks on stammering state in bold that “Had there not been any over cautious mothers, hardly any one would have suffered from stammering”.

Source: OneIndia:The Indian military is all set to get a new body which would tackle cyber warfare. IT would comprise around 1,000 personnel drawn from all three wings of the military.
The Defence Cyber Academy would defend military assets and also use its capabilities to fight proxy cyber warfare.
It may be recalled that Army chief Gen. Bipin Rawat stressed on exploiting cyber space for advantage of defence forces, saying the “tech-savvy” terrorists operating from across the borders are using it for their benefit and if the armed forces don’t stay ahead of them, they may never be able overcome terrorism.
The Army Chief said the cyber space is important not only in conventional warfare, but is equally relevant in the sub-conventional warfare or proxy war.
“We must also develop niche capabilities to disable the adversaries’ system. Today, the terrorists operating against us from across the borders are very tech-savvy. They are exploiting cyber space for their advantage. If we don’t stay ahead of them, we will never be able to get over the phenomena of terrorism,” Rawat said.
He also noted that China is ramping up its capabilities in the cyber warfare.
Addressing the conference, Lt Gen Satish Dua, who is the Chief of Integrated Defence Staff to the Chairman, Chiefs of Staff Committee (CISC), said there was a need to tweak the defence strategy and factor in cyber threat.
“Radicalisation is the most potent by-product of cyber warfare. Terrorist organisations have moved their propaganda online,” Dua said.
Citing an example of Burhan Wani, whose killing in an encounter with the security forces in July 2016 led to an unrest in the Kashmir Valley, Dua said the Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist, was a creation of social media.
The 22-year-old Wani was a poster boy for militancy in the Valley.
“To overcome other inadequacies, they used this system (cyber space) very nicely. Social media was used to build a Robinhood kind of image of Burhan Wani and eventually when he was eliminated, we saw the kind of unrest in Kashmir, in the Valley…. (it) was unprecedented a couple of years ago. And all started with this creation of social media,” Dua said. Prior to his current posting, Dua was General Officer Commanding of the Army’s strategic Chinar Corps (15 Corps) responsible for guarding the Line of Control in Kashmir.

Incoming classes are accepted twice a year for semesters starting in July and January. About 4,50,000 applicants sit for each written exam. Typically, about 6,300 of these are invited to interview. Only unmarried male candidates are eligible for NDA & NA Examination. The minimum age should be 16 and half years and maximum age should be 19 and half years.

Conference is the last day of SSB where all the three assessors share the findings about a candidate. The IO, Psych and GTO then discuss whether to recommend a candidate or not. Mostly, the candidate who is clearly in or who is clearly out has a conference of a very short duration. Typically, a borderline candidate has a conference of a longer duration.
There is nothing extra a candidate could perform in the conference that will earn him brownie points, except for being careful in whatever he is doing and answering during conference.
Note: The answers given below are the sample answers, you may answer based on your perspective and knowledge.
Here are some mistakes that candidates tend to make in the interview. Please avoid these:
Suggesting corrections to the board:
When a candidate is asked whether he has any suggestions for the board, the common answer is no. But still, some candidates tend to suggest corrections to the board like there were a lot of mosquitoes, food was not good enough, etc. This is not good manners considering that you were there for having, having food and games for free. If you really have a better suggestions which save the time and money of the board and also make the process smooth, do share it with them, do not give suggestions just for the sake of it.
Complaining about the laundry service or on the support staff:
Be it the CHM who help the assessors or the washerman who washes your clothes. Be officer enough to deal with them yourself.
Looking back:
Although this is not very common, but this should be avoided at all costs. In some SSBs, there is a display screen at the candidate’s back where his marks are displayed. Even though you know it, a candidate must avoid it at all costs because this could be a serious issue otherwise.
Greeting everyone:
When a candidate enters the conference room, he finds many officers in uniforms sitting in front of him. As soon as the candidate enters the conference room, he is required to wish only the senior-most officer, who is the president of the board. He is not required to greet remaining officers. This is briefed before the start of conference by the CHM.
Getting too free with the CHM:
In a typical repeater group, there are many candidates who are academy dropouts, who were previously recommended, NCC cadets or wards of defence personnel who has seen military life. What’s wrong with them is that they treat the NCOs as their friends in the way they talk or communicate with them. This is not specific to conference but can be seen that time and at the time of reporting as they interact to the group as a whole at that time only.
Most of the times, there is a mentality in the candidates’ mind that while it is the last day and nothing is to be assessed, let’s just not dress up perfectly. This is displayed in their casualness in not ironing clothes, wearing white socks in black shoes, not tying tie correctly, etc. Although it doesn’t matter a lot, but sure needs to be taken care of.
Trying to ask candidates what happened in their conference:
Every candidate is assessed based on his/her capability and qualities. So, don’t be very eager as to what was asked to a candidate who went before you. Just keep calm and keep kaam se kaam.
Taking too much time:
Conference is the procedure in which the assessors are to cross checking their findings and deciding whether to recommend a candidate or not. So make sure you do not take up too much time thanking them/giving them suggestions or asking for suggestions. This too is not very common, but there are candidates who ask the assessors review on them.
This could again be a deciding factor if you are a borderline case. When in the interview, if you do not know anything, just say “I don’t know sir, I will find out”. And be ready to answer those questions in the conference.
Don’t brainstorm on what is going on inside the room:
This is the most common mistake candidates make before conference. Do not think too much about what is going on inside the conference room. What happens inside is least of your concerns. Instead, you must focus on your performance and your conduct at the conference.
Conclusion
Conference is of little consequence for a candidate because the assessment stage is already over. However, candidates must make sure that they do not commit these mistakes during their conference. The josh must be as high as it was during the screening–in time. That will bring out the liveliness in you.

If you good at answering current affairs question during your personal interview, it surely adds more points in your SSB mark sheet, all the defence aspirants must read day to day happenings around the world and keep themselves aware of what is going on in their surroundings, you can not simply neglect such questions just by saying that you are not interested in news, politics etc etc. In SSB, assessors are assessing the personality of a candidate through various techniques. Though the IO might ask one question, he would be looking for a certain quality through that question. Many such questions are asked to candidates, which they feel is irrelevant and become casual in their approach to answering that.
Here we bring you 20 such tricky questions you might be asked in your upcoming SSB Interview. Be careful while answering them and be very logical and reasonable in your responses:
Note: The answers given below are the sample answers, you may answer based on your perspective and knowledge.
Do you think Rohingya refugees be allowed to take shelter in India? Why/Why not?
Yes sir, they should be allowed on humanitarian grounds but should be kept on probation until proven loyal to this country.
What do you think should be done to resolve Kashmir issue?
The solution to Kashmir demands more of administrative interference than military powers. There should be more strict vigilance on cross-borders passages and education should be made compulsory for every Kashmiri under 25 in Indian schools/colleges.
What are your opinions on President Trump’s wall plan at Mexico and US border? Do you think similar idea could be adopted at the LoC?
It is a very childish idea considering the cost, manpower and maintenance involved. Practically it will be impossible to construct a wall at the hilly areas of the LoC. At the LoC, our soldiers have been our walls for a long time and will continue to do so for their motherland.
Don’t you think India should also legalize recreational use of marijuana, just like Canada did recently?
Sir, medically marijuana has benefits that could cure certain ailments. It should only be administered to patients admitted in the hospitals under medical supervisor. If made common, then it would lead to its exploitation.
What are your views on the US banning immigration to certain section of people?
I personally feel that this is not a good idea. Just because a few people from that section are causing nuisance, does not mean the whole sect has to suffer from it. It shows their inability to control the situation and handle it.
What could be done to eradicate global terrorism?
Whole world should unite against terrorism, irrespective of language, culture, region, religion, etc. There should be an anti-terror organization like the UN Peacekeeping force which exclusively fights terrorism.
What are your views on live-in relationships as in recent case of Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu?
In the view of our culture, I personally feel live-in relationships are good for our society, though, it widely depends on mutual consent of both partners and their families. We might be ‘open minded’ on a personal level, but at the social level, we are still Indians and we are not yet there.
What could be done to solve global hunger crisis as it is rising day by day?
Unfortunately, there is not enough awareness about global hunger among general public today. The first step in this regard is to create awareness among people. Individuals, companies and groups who waste food must be fined.
Don’t you think US did a right thing pulling itself out of the UN Human Rights Council? It will save it millions in aid.
From US point of view, it was correct. From everyone else’s point of view, US is just being an arrogant bully who wants everything they say, to be done. If the US felt that the UNHRC is a self-serving organization, then why did no other country shared the same thoughts?
According to you, what should be North Korea’s stand on the possession of nukes, given the sanctions and bans on that country?
I strongly feel that a country has all the rights to do everything in their control to step up their defences. We cannot say a country – “you leave your country defence-less, we will not do anything to you.” If that were so, then there would have been no armies in the world. Unless one stands up for themselves, no one will stand up for them. Only strength respects strength.
What should be India’s stand on tackling China for getting permanent seat at UN security council?
India has a huge support of most of the countries for a permanent seat, except for countries including China and Pakistan. China’s ‘yes’ matter because it is holding a permanent seat in the UNSC. Diplomatic channels should be improved between India and China.
With the recent triple-talaq ban, withdrawal of Hajj subsidy and banning cow sales, what are your views on the actions of current government towards minorities?
I feel it is a very controversial issue. However, I support the decisions that the government make because it is already thought over by dozens of people. Still if there is something that needs to be addressed, one can always move to the supreme court.
What are your views on the Sahayak system in the Indian Amy?
Soldiers are recruited in the army to fight wars, not to help with officers’ wives’ daily chores. I feel that the Sahayak system should be abolished in the army, taking example of Air Force and Navy.
Should women be allowed in combat roles, considering men are stronger than women and men would see this as a slap on their manhood?
In today’s world, we are more open to giving equal opportunities to women. But with equal rights, come equal responsibilities. And if women are ready to take up these responsibilities without any conditions, then they should definitely be allowed in combat roles.
Don’t you think India should stop giving pensions to retired soldiers and invest that money in modernizing instead?
Sir, India is the largest voluntary army. One of the reason being – pension after retirement. The government could also impose compulsory military service for everyone aged 18-20, in-line with the Israeli system. But we are a huge country with a large cultural differences. It will be practically impossible to do so in this case. Also, if pension is withdrawn, Army might lose its numbers. Instead, focus should be on indigenous development of weapons with transfer of technology.
Should caste system be continued to give more opportunities to poor and economically backward people?
Caste system gives equal opportunities to under privileged section of the society. I fell that the caste system should be there only until the graduation of a reserved person. Thereafter, it is fair competition among everyone and everyone should be treated as general.
Being a Hindu/Muslim, what are your views on Babri Masjid-Ayodhya issue?
I feel that it is much of a political issue than that of a religious one. As a Muslim, I feel Muslims have many holy places around the world but for Hindus, there is only one Ram janmbhoomi. I feel Muslims should support making of Ram mandir in Ayodhya and spread the message of communal harmony.
What do you think is the impact of Brexit on India?
After losing access to EU single market, the UK would want to develop trade relations with emerging markets from around the world. India, with its strong economic fundamentals and a large domestic market, is in a better negotiating position. India’s high proportion of skilled working-age population and high growth rate will be of particular interest for the UK.
What are your views on premarital sex in India?
Sex before marriage is something that our society and culture disapprove of. Again, it solely depends on the mutual consent of the partners, but in a general term, it is not acceptable in Indian society.
Don’t you think the law gives more power to women over men? What could be done to resolve it?
The law does give more power to women in terms of gender specific laws. It is time that we start identifying crimes as crimes irrespective of gender, religion and caste. For example, if there is a law that protects women from rape, there should also be a law that protects men from rape.
Conclusion
The question might come from any angle, for example, by asking your daily routine, the IO is looking for what responsibilities you take as a member of your home or how you manage and organize your time throughout the day. For another instance, the IO might ask you to give solutions to resolve Rohingya Muslim crisis, which will bring out your secularism and your views on that religion, people and nationality. Be reasonable in each of your response.

What are the three sub-branches in which flying branch is trifurcated into?
Ans. Helicopters, Fighters, and Transport
Tell me names of 3 helicopters of Indian Air Force.
Ans. Mi-17, Mi-35 and ALH Dhruv.
What is the principle on which an aircraft fly?
Ans. Sir, aircraft fly on the principle of aerodynamics or Bernoulli’s principle. The pressure difference over and below the wings gives it a lift whereas the engines give it a thrust.
What is Bernoulli’s principle, give an example?
Ans. Bernoulli’s principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid’s potential energy – A1V1 = A2V2. Example is a venture tube.
Explain to me what is buoyancy and how is it related to aircraft?
Ans. Buoyancy is the force exerted on an object that is wholly or partly immersed in a fluid. To fly, a plane needs to displace a mass of air down equal to its own mass, each second. The principle of buoyancy applies here too.
Tell me the most recent aircraft inducted into the IAF?
Ans. Tejas is recently inducted into the IAF. It’s an indigenously made Light Combat Aircraft and its squadron is nicknamed ‘The Flying Daggers’.
What is the role of aircraft in the IAF?
Ans. Sir, aircraft are an integral part of any air force. They provide air superiority to any country’s military. In India, the aircraft of the IAF has the same role – to defend our borders and fight in wars.
What is the Air Force doing with its aircraft when it is not at war?
Ans. Sir, when the Air Force, is not at war, it is undertaking Humanitarian and Disaster Relief Operations, participating in exercises with foreign militaries and ultimately, preparing for war.
Name the aircraft that was added to the vintage fleet of IAF.

Ans. The IAF operates Illyushin-76 as its largest aircraft. It is a transport aircraft, also known as Gajraj.
Tell me the name of any 5 transport aircraft of IAF.
Ans. C-130J Super Hercules, C-17 Globemaster, Il-76 Gajraj, An-32 and refueller Il-78.
What is knot, nautical miles, and mach?
Ans. A knot is one nautical mile per hour. A nautical mile = 1.8 km/h and mile = 1.6 km/h. Mach is the ratio of the speed of the object to the speed of sound. If the object is travelling twice the speed of sound, it is said to be travelling in 2 mach.
Tell me the name of 5 fighter aircraft with the IAF.
Ans. Tejas, Su-30, Mig-29, Mig-21 Bison and Jaguar.
What is streamline shape? Why is it important?
Ans. A streamlined shape lowers the friction drag between a fluid, and an object moving through that fluid. This shape is important because it reduces drag to a very high extent.
Can you tell me what are all the trainer aircraft with the IAF?
Ans. Sir, IAF has Pilatus PC-7, Hawk HJT, Kiran, Dornier, etc.
What is a fly-by-wire system in aircraft?
Ans. Fly-by-wire is a system that replaces the manual flight controls of an aircraft with an electronic interface. The movements of flight controls are converted to electronic signals. It can broadly be understood as digital version of mechanical flight controls.
Name any 5 instruments in a microlight?
Ans. Airspeed Indicator, Altimeter, Slip/Skid Indicator, Compass and Fuel Indicator.
Name the parts of an aircraft starting from nose to tail?
Ans. Cockpit, fuselage, Wings, Undercarriage, stabilizers, aileron, elevators, rudders, etc.
What are the three basic motions of an aircraft?
Ans. An aircraft has three basic motions – Pitching (by elevators), Rolling (by ailerons) and Yawing (by rudder).
In which layer of atmosphere do aircraft fly?
Ans. An airplane flies comfortably in the stratosphere. Below this, the air is moving constantly which causes turbulence.
Conclusion
Irrespective of whether you are an NCC cadet or not, you are not expected to know all the questions related to flying in depth. However, a little more knowledge is always advantageous. If you don’t know anything, just calmly say, “I don’t know sir.”
It’s been always my dream to motivate people through my success story and fortunately with the grace of God, here I am writing my story for all defence aspirants. Hello guys, my name is ANKUSH SINGH TOMAR and My story contains two important phases of my life. The 1st phase started when I was in my 12th class and I decided to make my future with Indian defence services so I took two exams of INDIAN AIR FORCE called Group-X and Group-Y. I cleared both of them and got my joining letter after some time. That was the very crucial time of my life. I had two choices —— 1st —- join X or Y Group and the ——-2nd —– continue my studies.
Someone has rightly said that ” sometimes your whole life boils down to one insane move ”
Well, I made that insane move and decided neither to join X group nor Y. I continued my studies. Almost Everyone told me to join X group or Y Group for a safe future but I had something special for myself, for my family and for my parents in my relentless mind.
The second phase of my life started in Feb – 2017 when I decided to write CDS exam for the first time and cleared it. I was allotted selection center east, Allahabad for my SSB. it was my first encounter with the SSB and unfortunately, I was conference out.
Well it was a very big defeat but I was not really worried about it coz I always believe that your first step towards success can be your biggest defeat. So don’t worry, rise and learn from your defeat it can be your life changing the experience. I also learned a lot from it and again in Nov 2017, I took CDS 2 and cleared it also. The SSB venue was same (Allahabad) and my dates were 7-11 March. So my dream run started on 5th of March when I set off from my home after taking blessings of my mother.
I reached Allahabad on 6th March and reported at MCO. From there we all (about 140 students) were taken to the selection center with our luggage loaded on a truck.
After we reached there we were divided into two groups of 70 students each and our group was allotted 11 SSB board, the same I got last time.
We were given chest nos according to fresher and Repeater and after a brief documents check, we came back to our board.
The next day was the screening test. We all were escorted to Capt. Vikram Batra hall, where the OIR test was conducted. Very simple test and almost everyone does wonders in it, So no need to talk much about it.
A hazy picture of a man standing in water was shown to us and I managed to make a simple and positive story.
Then we were divided in the groups of 15 – 15 and made to sit and discuss. After a healthy discussion for 20 minutes, our group came up with a common story, which was not my story ( but you don’t need to worry about it that your story must be the group story, just participate in the GD and narrate your story properly it’s enough).
In the afternoon our result was announced. 26 out of 70 made it to the next stage and I was 25th, the second last. In the evening we filled our PIQ form and came back to our board.
My group had 10 students, the 10 repeaters, the most unexpected and very hard to understand creatures in the history of SSB including me.
The next day was our psychology test, a series of tests like TAT, WAT, SRT and SD. Well, I’d like to give you some advice about it, try to write simple and genuine stories based on real and actual problems. Just find a need in the picture, put yourself in and solve it. Again Don’t spend your time in describing the problem, spend it in solving the problem.
How do you solve the problem? That matters nothing else.
My test was good. I wrote good stories in TAT, 60 sentences in WAT, 40 SRT and my SD .
The next day was our GTO. The GTO started with group discussion on two topics 20 mins each. I spoke 3- 4 times on the first topic and 3-4 times on the second. So I participated in the GD and gave some ideas on the topic.
Well in GD, DON’T counter anyone, just give your ideas and put a smile on your face while listening to others …
The next test was GPE and in this test also I was able to solve all the problems in the best ways possible. My solution was also the group solution.
The 3rd test was PGT and in this test the repeaters showed their true colours. Nobody was listening to anybody. everyone was busy in giving their own solutions. But amid all this chaos, I was silently giving my solutions. I request you too that if you have an idea in PGT, just give it and help others. One more thing, if you find someone giving too many ideas and acting like a group leader, make him busy by giving him a plank, rope or load and lead the group yourself.
The 4th test was HGT, same as PGT. Your group will be half this time so make sure you perform well in this test …
The fifth and sixth test check your physical stamina, they are GOR and INDIVIDUAL OBSTACLES. Well, I did 13 individual obstacles and also performed well in the GOR.
The next day was our GTO-2 and it started with lecturette. My topic was Indo-China relations and believe me I just nailed it.
After lecturette, it was the time for the most important test of the entire GTO series THE COMMAND TASK.
I solved my command task within time and later on my subordinates ( both got the recommendation with me ) told me that the level of difficulties was high as compared to others. So I was happy to perform well in this too.
The last task was FGT and I gave some ideas about this too. So the entire GTO series was a success for me.
On the same day, just after the GTO, I was called for my interview. I was in the same GTO dress. My interview went for almost an hour and the IO asked me everything about my education, family, friends, my weakness, strength, my hobbies, participation in social activities, History of my hometown and also hthe istory of Allahabad. He also asked me some gk questions like a full form of PNR & SIM, some questions about cricket as it was my hobby. I gave answers to almost every question. After my interview, I was pretty sure about my selection.
The next and the final day was our conference day and to be honest I was really nervous. My conference went for 2-3 mins and I was asked some general questions by the president like the quality of food and any suggestions to improve anything etc …
After our conference, we were made to sit in a hall and after some time, one Officer with our result came in. He immediately started calling the chest numbers of the recommended candidates. The first one was chest no 25, which was mine. After hearing those magical words I was in a pleasant shock and it took me 15 mins to recover from that condition. That situation is hard to explain. I never felt like that before. With tears in my eyes, I was thanking God, remembering my parents and saying to myself ” yes !!! I’ve done it and it’s not a dream ”
So this is my story. I’d like to tell you that if you fail, Don’t stop…. be focused on your aim ……. Sacrifice your comforts coz without Sacrifice there can be no victory. In the end BEST OF LUCK TO ALL FUTURE OFFICERS OF INDIA. You guys are special coz you’ve chosen INDIAN Defence services and one day you will definitely make your country proud.

SSB Interview Preparation Material [ 100% Recommended]
After a candidate is recommended from one of the selection boards, he/she has to undergo medical check-up. One of the check-up is surgical checkup in which cases like carrying angle, flat foot, knock knees, etc is checked. One of such tests are the Piles or Hemorrhoids test.
How do officers at SSB medical check for piles in a candidate?
On surgical days, the doctor will be checking medical candidates for piles and fissures.
Candidate will be naked in front of the medical officer during the surgical examination.
The candidate is asked to bend forward and to pull his ‘ butt cheeks’.
The surgical doctor will ask a candidate to bend down and using a torch, will physically check-up the anus region for piles.
If the problem is deducted, the candidates get the TR (Temporary Rejection). This is one of the reasons candidates get medically rejected in the SSBs.
What are Hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids occur when veins in the anus swell and expand. As a result, it can be very painful when sitting or passing a stool. It is common among people who suffer from long-term constipation or diarrhea.
Clearing the confusion
Some people who have anal bleeding think they have piles while it could just be fissures caused by hard stools. The vice versa also stands true – while a person has piles, initially, it is common to think that he/she might be having fissures.
In some rare cases among women, the bleeding is sometimes confused to be from the menstrual cycle during the periods, though the pain persists throughout the month.
Stages of piles
Piles are of two types – internal and external. Internal piles occur inside the anus and external piles on the outer area of the anus. Most commonly, both types of piles occur simultaneously.
There are 4 stages of piles – 1st stage piles develop inside the anus; 2nd stage piles project outside the anus during bowel movement but return inwards afterwards; 3rd stage is similar to 2nd stage, only that they return inside only when physically pushed in; 4th stage is a more serious permanent condition where it hangs permanently outside the anus.
Reason for rejection
For obvious reasons, candidates having piles will not be able to undergo training as effectively as a cadet should be, affecting his/her daily routine.
In worst cases, the bleeding could actually be a sign of bowel cancer, so, the forces do not take a chance on the candidate and reject him/her in the first place.
Prevention & Cure
Piles can be prevented by eating fibre-rich food and plenty of fruits and liquids.
Having proper bowel routines is necessary to keep piles in check. You should be going to the restroom at-least once daily. Exercise regularly and try to avoid too much sitting in one place.
Laser surgery or infra-red surgery is one of the cures to piles. It takes about 1 month for recovery. Rubber-band technique is also a useful technique where a rubber band is tightened on the projected vessels, cutting off the blood supply and it falls off in about a week.
Kindly consult a doctor if you are facing this problem.
