In 2002, the Government of Nepal stepped up efforts to eliminate the disease with the establishment of a national trachoma programme. From 2002 to 2005, following the implementation of sustained control activities, the prevalence of active (inflammatory) trachoma fell by 40%.

Founded as a joint initiative of the Army, the Centre for Social Responsibility (CSRL) and PETRONET LNG Limited (PLL), Project Kashmir Super 50 this year saw 32 students clear the JEE (Mains)

Modelled on Patna’s Super-30, which has enabled many poor students crack the entrance examination and join the prestigious IITs, the coaching centre in the Kashmir Valley is enabling disadvantaged students from the militancy-hit region to pursue their dreams of becoming engineers.

The Students

The students selected for coaching are 45 boys and 5 girls who were provided with free residential coaching for the JEE, JKCET and other engineering colleges. The 45 boys are based in Srinagar and the 5 girl students are based in Noida.

32 out of the 50 students have cracked this year’s IIT-JEE (Mains) and 7 crack the JEE (Advanced).

Significantly, 20 of the 32 JEE (Mains) qualifiers are from the Scheduled Tribe category and two from the Other Backward Classes.

Roughly a third of the successful students are from the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas and the rest are from other government schools. Among the students are children of farmers, labourers and drivers.

Fifth Such Batch

The outgoing batch is the 5^th batch of Kashmir Super 50.

A group of 30 qualified students, part of Kashmir Super 50 visited New Delhi and interacted with General Bipin Rawat, Chief of the Army Staff on 12 Jun 18.

The General shared his experiences while serving in these areas, with the students and motivated them to work hard & contribute actively to the nation-building process.

About Super 50

It was launched on 22 March 2013 in a joint initiative by Indian Army, Center for Social Responsibility and Leadership (CSRL) and PETRONET LNG Limited (PLL).

It is a 11-month program and the selected students are provided with complete free residential coaching for IIT-JEE, JKCET and other premier Engineering Institutes.

Project ‘Kashmir Super 50’ has been one of the most successful projects undertaken by the Indian Army in the valley and has directly impacted the lives of a number of youths in J&K by providing them with the right guidance and opportunity to make a career for themselves.

The project has equally helped the families of these youths in their growth and prosperity. It is a major initiative towards bringing normalcy in the valley.

Future Projects

One of the girl students who qualified for the JEE Mains told that such programmes were needed because not many in her village knew about the opportunities that exist in the mainstream world.

On similar lines of Kashmir Super 50 for engineering aspirants, Indian Army has recently signed a MoU for medical aspirants with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) & National Integrity Educational Development Organisation (NIEDO), under which selected students will be provided with complete free residential coaching for National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET).

Cracked SSB Interview In 2nd Attempt - AIR 7

“Success is what happens after you have survived all of your disappointments and failures”

Heartfelt gratitude to Millions of Defense Aspirants, grown up in different atmospheres, living in the different parts of the country but having only one dream, “Indian Army”.

Introduction: – Where to start from? I’ve a lot to share. I’m Shashwat Awasthi, born and grown up in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. I belong to a middle-class family. My family background is NOT of Army. Perhaps I’ll be the first army officer of my family. My first 5 years of schooling was done in Hindi Medium. Then I switched to English Medium but remained in State Board up to High School. I completed my 12^th from CBSE.

I dropped a year for the preparation of Army and JEE after 12^th. I got conference out in my first SSB of Indian Navy. But I was more enthusiastic and full of zeal after that experience. I always believed in myself. There is a basic funda in my life that Listen and admire everybody but follow only my inner voice.

I started taking part in debates and speeches from Class 6^th onwards.

From Hindi speeches to English Speeches, from debates to MUNs, I participated in almost every extracurricular activity. And I love Football, not Cricket though. The most important thing that I’ve observed about myself is that I’m a versatile guy, one who keeps balance between studies and extracurricular activities.

I’m always interested in International and National Politics. So, I read a lot of articles from different newspapers of different countries. I admire different cultures of different countries. That has always fascinated me. It is truly said that, “There is divine beauty in learning. To learn means to accept the postulate that life did not begin at my birth. Others have been here before me, and I walk in their footsteps.”

I scored 1^st position in Class 10^th in my school. I was also School Captain in class 10^th. So, I tried to develop every skill I could.

It wasn’t always that good, I’ve seen many failures. And I’m glad that my mother always supported in every failure. She motivated me to try harder. I’ve seen my parents struggling to fulfill our needs. And that fueled me. And I owe my success to my parents.

My story may be little bit long but I’m sure that you’ll benefited from my experience. You all are well aware of present SSB process so my story focuses more on my personal experience of SSB interview. I did not take any coaching. (Yes, No Delhi-No Chandigarh)

(I got recommended from 18 SSB Allahabad for TES entry. I am merit in with AIR 7. I’m medically fit.)

1). Screening: – I practiced verbal and non-verbal tests. So, I did not feel any difficulty in that portion of test. I prepared a story revolving around my central character. Mood was positive. My narration was fantastic. My voice was clear and loud. I grabbed everybody’s attention. Discussion was Machali-Bazar (Fish Market) as always. I put my logical points. I was anyhow able to pursue group members to have a common story. 22 (including me) were screened in out of 300.

My suggestions: – Buy any SSB book. (Be smart enough to judge). Practice verbal and non-verbal sets. And Read all the instruction carefully of PPDT. Your story should convey some message. Narrate your story with confidence. Do not create hustle and bustle in discussion. Put your points gently and do take part in discussion. Silence doesn’t help (Not always).

2). Psychological Tests: – These tests are used to measure intellectual, Cognitive, emotional and behavior functioning. So, you can understand how important these tests are. One must pay special attention to these psychological testing series. What you write on paper defines your personality. See, we all are unique. We behave differently under the same condition and same pressure. SO PLEASE DO NOT COPY AND DO NOT FOLLOW OTHERS (EVEN ME). Following are test conducted under psychological testing series: –

1). Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)

2). Word Association Test (WAT)

3). Situation Reaction Test (SRT)

4). Self-Description Test (SDT)

Experience: – We reported to the testing hall. I listened carefully to each and every instruction given to us by the officer. Psychosocial tests started with TAT. Stories were shown to us and we were asked to write stories around the scene. I was ready for that. I closed my eyes and tried to focus. Stories were shown. I started with calligraphy and ended with simple separated words. This happens. If you pay a lot of attention to your hand writing, you might not be able to pay the required attention to what you’re writing. But, Psychology says that even your hand writing speaks of your personality. Officers say that vocabulary and hand writing doesn’t matter. But Write in such a manner that officers can at least read your stuffs. So, I was cleared with my thoughts. My stories were simple. And I tried to avoid negativity. I could feel sweat in my hands, though it was January. I managed to write all the stories. Next test, WAT. I wrote the words and formed the sentences. And Believe me, sometimes it was totally blank in the head. But I tried to maintain the fluency and I was able to form sentences of most of the words.

Then Came SRT. I was pretty confident about my performance this time. I attended around 50 SRTs. And My Reactions to the situations were simple, logical and clear.

At last SDT, I had to write what My parents, teachers, friends think about myself. Actually, I love responsibilities. I was IT Club Secretary in class 8^th. I was school vice caption in class 9^th and school captain in class 10^th. I had a lot to write about myself. I come from a middle-class family so I’m resourceful by nature. I wasn’t a good debater, but I developed this skill. I’ve a younger brother, I spend a portion of my leisure time guiding him. So, this all contributed to Self-Description Tests. And I was able to write genuine about me in the psychological tests.

My Suggestions: – Psychological Tests are used to bring out your true personality. So, these tests are important. I suggest you to practice. Practice and practice a lot. Make a time table and spend time practicing it daily. Write and Practice. Nothing is better than writing. We have to write a lot in psychological tests. Keeping this in mind, the more you practice, better will be the result.

I suggest you to meditate daily. This sharpens your imagination and thinking. Do meditation for 15 minutes daily. Try to recall what you’ve done from morning till noon. This will help you to imagine the situation quickly in SRTs. And believe me, it really does help a lot in psychosocial tests.

Do not learn things. (Ratta Mat Maro) Understand it.

3). Interview: – Everyone got the chance to be interviewed in formals. But I was called for my interview just after my GTO-2 (on Day 4). I washed my face and sat down in the waiting room. I didn’t wait for a long time. I was called by my interviewing officer just after 10 minutes. I took a deep breath and walked inside the office with a mesmerizing smile. I greeted him and he asked me to sit. My interviewing officer was president of the Selection Board. We had a quick introduction. He asked me about my performance in other tests. Then, He asked me about my family, financial situation, my school, my performance in 10^th and 12^th, my teachers and my hobbies. Seeing my interest in Geo-Politics, we had a conversation about the present world scenario. From Russia’s Interest to Israel’s’ attitude, He asked about the present global situation. Then, He asked about the most recent launch of ISRO and purpose of Indian satellites in the launch. I knew that the launch was conducted at the time I reported to SSB Centre. I told him the same. But He again asked me the purpose of the India’s Satellite. I thought for a while and told him that the purpose was either land navigation or communication, seeing the past record of Indian satellites. “Land Navigation” was the right answer and he quickly briefed me about the launch in 30 seconds. He asked me about my JEE preparation. And then the new phase of interview started. He asked me about my favorite subject. My answer was Physics. He asked me set of questions related to physics and further conversation went as follow: –

Interviewer: – What happens to the mass of the object when speed of it reaches the speed of light?

Me: – Mass becomes infinite. (Told the formula of inertial and non-inertial mass)

Interviewer: – What is refraction? What is the cause of refraction?

Me: – (Told him about refraction) I would consider light as a wave to answer this question (as light possess dual behavior). Because of the change in wavelength and the speed of light wave, the refraction occurs.

Interviewer: – How can you say that Light possess particle like behavior too?

Me: – By Photoelectric Effect. The time lag between the incidence of radiation and the emission of a photoelectron is very small, less than 10⁻⁹ second. If it behaves like wave here, it would take several hours. Every electron absorbs one photon, then it is emitted out if the incident light has equal to or more frequency than Threshold frequency.

And it continued. Overall, I really enjoyed my interview. And I believe that the officer was satisfied. I was able to answer almost every question he asked.

My suggestions: – Your body language speaks a lot of you. Sit straight. Listen carefully to what officer asks. You’ll surely face Rapid fire questions. So, prepare well. You must have some hubbies. Music to Novels, anything. If you don’t have any hobby, develop at least two hobbies. Spend some productive time learning new things. Read in your leisure time. And Improve your communication skills. You should know how to express your thoughts and inner feelings.

4). GTO (Group Testing Officer’s Tasks): – GTO is really important. So, you need to pay attention towards it. Usually, it is conducted on 3^rd and 4^th day of SSB interviews. And the different tasks in GTO are: –

Group Discussion
Group Planning
Progressive Group Task
Group obstacle Race (Snake Race)
Half Group Task
Lecturette
Individual Obstacles
Command Task
Final Group Task

I was suffering from High Fever and cold during my SSB interview. I usually used to take paracetamol in the night and perform tasks in the day. By the God’s grace, my throat was all right. I actively participated in the group discussion and group planning. I usually prefer defending the motion. But Remember, it’s not a debate. So, I put my points confidently in the discussion. And We really had a fruitful discussion on both topics. Though in Group Planning Exercise, my solution didn’t match and I had totally different views from others. Everybody agreed to a solution. I announced in front of everybody that I do not agree to the solution. I briefed them about the mistakes they made. But Nobody listened. But I extended my support to the solution to save time and further confusion.

Then We had PGT, Snake Race and HGT. I participated in it with full energy. And We were able to finish most of the tasks given to us. Snake Race was fun as always. We shouted our war cries and it felt as if we were going to call Gods from the seventh heaven. We won the race but someone broke the rules. We shouted from 1 to 10 and one of us (Me) was asked to repeat a task as a punishment.

I got the topic, “Article 370” in Lecturette. I took my all time. I love history. And I love politics. And It was both, political and historical topic. I spoke my heart out. From Jinnah to Churchill, from instruments of accession to GST and Demonetization, I cleared the picture of Article 370 in everybody’s mind in the given time. I felt that I was able to grab the attention of everyone. So, I felt pretty good after delivering the speech. I paid attention to all the speeches. Everybody spokes well.

But the real game was not started yet. Officer announced that We were going to have Individuals Obstacles on the same day. I was suffering from Fever. I was totally exhausted. AND I was the least chest Number in our group, I had to perform first. I listened to every instruction. I closed my eyes and said to myself, “Abhi nhi to kabhi nhi”. I put my whole energy into it. And I was satisfied with performance at last. Most of the people were exceptionally excellent.

Next day, we had our command task and Final Group Task. It was pretty well performed by me. The command task was very difficult. Officer was trying to create more obstacles by saying Gentleman, think that the blue pole doesn’t exist and now continue. As the result, I was able to complete only half of my command task. (Only one of my group members called me as subordinate)

My Suggestion: – Have command over the language. Practice speaking English in front the mirror. Start reading books. Have knowledge about everything. Keep yourself up to date. Do not mix your thoughts. Keep your body in shape. Read about every instruction of every task before only. Pay Attention to what Officer says. Do not break rules. Remember It’s not a competition.

5). Conference: –Fifth and the final day, we all were excited. The one of best things about SSB is that you get to know many people and you develop a strange bond. We reported to the testing Hall. We waited for the further instructions. Then, everyone faced the conference. One by one, everybody was called for the conference. I got a chance to see my all officers together first and the last time. I was asked about my experience and my suggestions. They asked me about the things I learned here. It didn’t take long. Just 2-3 minutes. After the process was done, we all were made to sit in conference hall and we waited for further instructions. Then, Vice-President of SSB Allahabad came. He told us to take our results positively. He discussed about the OLQs. The most awaited moment came. Result was going to be announced. He started calling out chest Numbers whose who were recommended. He called out my chest no. Everybody looked at me. Believe me guys, it felt like time had surrendered in front of me. I felt the blood through my veins flowing top to bottom and vice-versa. My whole world stopped for a while. I lived that moment. The smiling face of my mother flashed in front of me. My voice crumbled. I shouted my name, DOB and Roll No. Each step I took towards the officer, I felt that I was leaving behind the bias and fake world which I never was a part of. My unconsciousness broke when officer announced, “That’s all”. He turned to me and shook hands.

Tears in my eyes-I couldn’t stop

I was medically fit and I got All India Rank 7. I’m going to join academy next month.

“You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it.”

My Suggestion: – Do not panic. Take deep breaths. You may face some SRTs in the conference. So, Get yourself ready for that situation. If you’re a doubt case then your conference may be extended to even 30 minutes.

Cracked SSB Interview In 13th Attempt – Joining Indian Air Force

By

SSBCrack

June 19, 2018

If you are reading this then I am pretty sure you are already in for a hell of a ride of a tale of a normal person like you who did not give up and made it in his 13th attempt. I have read almost all the success stories that have been shared by SSBCrack from the last 4 years and I knew one day I will pen down my story on this same platform but I did not know that it would take me such a long time.

My journey began on 5th may 2014 when I first gave my ssb for Indian army tgc119 entry and got conference out and it finally came to an end on 30th March 2018 when I got recommended from 4 AFSB Varanasi through AFCAT entry. I have seen everything, felt every emotion that a defence aspirant goes through. I have slept on platforms, traveled in general compartments, slept in the alley of the sleeper trains, woken up with dreams of getting recommended, left exams for SSBs, tolerated the taunts of neighbors and relatives, and finally cried for half an hour on getting recommended. I have so much to tell you guys and I’ll try to give you a gist of everything important that has happened in my life so bear with me, please.

I gave my first ssb in may 2nd and 3rd on June 4th on Aug 5th in November in the same calendar year which was a mistake and I was heading nowhere. Then after my 6th failure I decided to opt for an alternate career and started preparing for government exams but I never stopped giving ssb although the frequency slowed down. Every time in the interviews it became so much difficult to convince the interviewing officer that how I was able to manage my finance and how after being provided the best of education by my parents I am still dependant on them for money. So I decided to start teaching mathematics and my first salary was Rs 7333. I taught maths for 1.5 years in Kurukshetra and it changed my personality in so many different ways. After this, I got a job in Delhi Metro but my dream was nowhere coming to reality. Repeated failed attempts had exhausted me and I was nearing the last eligible age limits. I always strived to improve my personality traits according to the demands of ssb and every decision or action I took revolved around this only. I had two government jobs in hand and I knew the only thing that would pull me behind was my physical fitness. I started running and I remember the first time I ran on 13th December 2017 I could only run 1.6kms that too in 12mins. I felt so ashamed of myself ki banda andar se khatam ho chuka hai. I then started running with a friend of mine who helped me run half marathon on 18th March 2018 that too in 1:51:00.

Current Affairs eBooks

I am not going to share what all procedure I went through in ssb but I am going to share what helped me achieve what everyone here is looking for.

For screening- the narration is the key, perform your best in oir and last but not the least active participation in group discussion. Make sure that the problem you all have perceived in the group story is sorted out and the measures taken so that it wont happen again. Do not fight over how many people u perceived or the age or gender. Help the group reach the solution.

Now comes the main part, do not try to master every test but look at the procedure as a whole. Your psych interview and gto should all reflect the same thing and it will only come when you are honest with your answers and not trying to copy anybody. I wrote very simple TAT stories and the 12th story was about my life experience when one of my student in kurukshetra came running to me and started touching my feet as he had got selected in haryana police exam and he gave all the credit to me and i was feeling so embarrassed standing there telling him it was all his mehnat.

In WAT write sentences which shows emotions, do not write any factual sentences as they wont contribute to your scores.

SRT should be short and do as much as possible. I did the maximum this time in all my attempts.

The most important of all psych is your self description. I suggest you to pour your heart out about how you feel about you parents friends and teachers and yourself. This part is read by the psychologist interview officer and in one of my attempts i saw the gto reading it as well. So make sure you have introspected enough and be honest to it. It doesnt matter how odd your weakness sound or how many adjectives you have used. I wrote everything i have felt how i would make my parents proud one day and about my friends who have been my spine all through my life, about my teachers without whom i have never been the kind of person iam today.

Now pay heed to me if you want a little protip. Never ever say bad about your friends parents and teachers and in every achievements of yours try to glorify them. Fauj runs on brotherhood and friendship and if you are sitting there in the interview room telling more disqualities about your friends than qualities then may lord have mercy on you. All through my psych interview, i put forward my friends first in my answers because if you can see a quality in your friend then its pretty obvious you have it too otherwise you would not have observed it so in a way you are only giving away your traits.

My interview went for about an hour this time and as usual, i was asked about everything starting from my school life to my present job. There are so many things i wish to share but i might bore you so i would speak of only a few. At one point of time he asked if i smoke i replied in affirmative, then he asked if i drink again my answer was yes then he asked about my favorite brand to which i replied after that he asked me to tell me one instance where i got too much drunk and i told him about one time where i had a few pegs and then i smoked weed and i blacked out?. Then i had to convince him that iam not an addict. He also asked me if i have a girlfriend and i said yes(but actually we broke up and she is going to canada and after my continuous efforts of appeasing her for 5 months i failed) and i told him about when she is leaving canada for her mba and he was like fit to relationship khatam and i remember my answer was sir pyaar bohot hai this distance cant soil this relationship and i said sir till the time she would complete her mba i would have completed my training at the academy and we would marry when she would come back. This was the only lie i told and iam fortunate Abhishek sir helped me answer this question among many other questions. This time the interview went good and i was able to relate many life instances with my answers. Friends introspect and gather all the instances that hold meaning to your life this helps alot in interviews.

My GTO was satisfactory this time and I am saying this because in my group everybody had their last or second last attempt and they want to give it all this time so it ended in a fish market which lasted till both group discussions. I spoke when I felt the need and did not contribute to the hustle. My GPE went well and it was exactly as the group concluded. In the ground task helping each other is equally important as giving ideas so help each other out, give your hand to your mate while crossing an obstacle, do not hesitate trying a plan out. Then came the lecturette and i messed up real bad there I was not able to speak for even 2 mins and it brought me down but friends it is so important to not lose hope and keep moving forward. No one test decide your decision of recommendation and I remember my GTO saying that day ki do not introspect what happened today go out with your friends and enjoy and do not carry the weight of your mistakes on your shoulders and I followed his words. Next day I was called last in the command task and before my task, he took a mini interview of mine and talked about my job in Delhi metro. Then my task began and he started increasing the difficulty level I was able to give the solution to all (all thanks to my experience of so many SSBs). Later in individual obstacles, I was able to do 7 and I was happy with my performance at the end of the day.

Then came the conference day and when my turn came I was asked to wait for about healthy 20 mins or so and i was losing my sh*t. I was never asked to wait so long and even the doorman was saying ki kya karke aaye ho aesa. Finally I was asked to enter the conference hall and the first question that was asked was what different have you performed this time so we should select you and my answer was sir I have not prepared any differently iam just trying to be a better person in life immediately he asked tell me one recent instance where you behaved like a better person to which I said that recently 2 maintainers died in delhi metro who were 49 and 51 years of age and every AM and GM were giving away their salaries so I also volunteered and gave them my 2 days salary. He asked a few questions about it and then he asked how do you enjoy your friend’s company and my reply was just to be with them is quality time, trips and tours are different ways to spend time but just their entourage cheers me up. Then he asked a few general ques about the stay and asked for any suggestion to which I said no and said everything was perfect.

Finally, it was results time, all my group mates were saying i might make it this time and this added fuel to my anxiety. It was my interview officer who was announcing the result and he immediately said chest no 48, believe me people i had no idea then what was happening i was not smiling i was not happy i was numb i went to the stage and stood before everybody and there was clapping going on for 5 mins and i was standing there my head held low and then struck the reality and then came the first tear. The wing commander there was shaking hands with me and telling me to become a nice officer and i was there sobbing like a small child. I cried for almost half an hour till the time my group came to me hugged me and this bloody aniket telling me kitna royega saale. I can give anything to relive that moment in life and after so many attempts it was worth it. Even now sometimes the flashbacks come and it puts a smile on my face no matter what iam going through at that time. Iam really thankful to my friends, my parents and my teachers who believed in me and always supported me. My call letter has come and i would be joining the july course on 2nd of july in Air Force Academy Dundigal, Hyderabad.

Ps- I developed this hobby of writing poems during this journey and i wrote one about fauj.. i hope this will connect to every hardcore repeater and aspirant and will motivate you to achieve your dreams..

ए रास्ते तू अब तो रुक जा

मंजिल से अब तो रुबरू करा।

नीन्द में भी कम्बखत सताने लगी है

हर कर्वठ पर सिर्फ ंमंजिल ही याद आने लगी है।

महिने बीत गए हैं इस सफर पर चलते

कतराता आज भी नही हूं इस राह को चुन्ते।

करे थे जो सारे वादे मेरे बापू से वो आज भी मेरे ज़हन में है

थका हुँ हारा नहीं हूं इरादे अभी पथर से फौलादी ही हैं।

रखता हुँ हिम्मत तोड लाउँगा आस्माँ से दो सितारे

कंधे पर लगाके चलूंगा तब देखेंगे सारे।

लिपट जाऊंगा तुझसे कमली मेहबूबा अपने पिया से जैसे

करूंगा देश रक्षा Captain Batra ने करी थी वैसे।

जियुंगा एसे की मौत भी शर्मा जाएगी

सलाम करेगी जब लेने मुझे वो आएगी।
