CLEARED SSB INTERVIEW TO JOIN INDIAN ARMY

Hello friends, my name is Lakshay and I am from Sonepat currently residing in Panchkula, Haryana. I completed my engineering from Chitkara University in Electronics and Communication in 2016. I am working as faculty in the organization The Art of Living and take courses in Panchkula. It was my dream since childhood to join the forces but there was nobody in my family in armed forces who could guide me. During my engineering, one day me and my friend were playing MEDAL OF HONOR WARFIGHTER on my laptop during OOPS Lab. The ending of the game was something which touched our heart and motivated us to become an officer in armed forces. In same year 2015, Indian Army came to our college for taking interview for U.E.S. Entry. We both went for the interview, I wasn’t able to clear it but my friend did. Went through his SSB and got recommended from Bhopal in January 2016. After few weeks, Indian army released the notification of TGC-124. I applied for it but didn’t get the call up letter due to less marks in my fifth semester. In the same month, Indian Army released notification for SSC TECH-48, without thinking twice, I applied for SSC TECH-48. Though I was placed in two big MNC’s through my college placement but the only thing which was running in my mind was to join the Armed Forces. On September 24, 2016 just a day after my birthday, I received an email from Indian Army regarding my SSB in Kapurthala. I was gratified on receiving the call up letter and without wasting much time in first week of October I joined Olive Greens in Chandigarh to know more about SSB procedure. A day before Diwali I had my screening test and luckily I got screened in my first attempt but on fifth day I was conference out from Kapurthala.

On 3rd November, 2016 I reached home and decided to introspect myself and worked hard to overcome my shortcomings. After few months, my friend invited me to his POP which gave me a clear picture of what it’s like to be an officer in Indian Army. The moto of Chetwode Building, “First, the safety, honour and welfare of your country come first, always and every time second, the honour, welfare and comfort of the men you command come next. Third, your own ease, comfort and safety come last, always and every time.” gave me goose bumps and a sense of pride. In July 2017, I decided to work on plan B, got job in merchant navy and my joining letter in August. As I didn’t get call for SSC TECH 49 so I wasn’t expecting call up letter of SSC TECH 50 and was packing my bags to join merchant navy on October6, 2017. But just after celebrating my birthday, my friend asked me to check whether I got SSB for SSC tech 50 or not. Luckily, I got call up letter for SSC TECH 50, so I worked hard on my physical and communication skills, went on like a lion and before entering SSB centre, I said these words to myself“Nishchay Kar… Jeet Apni Karu…” Things worked out for me pretty well and I got recommended on October 10, 2017.

MY JOURNEY:

· OIR TEST AND PPDT (DAY 1):
On first day 175 students came, out of which only 18 were screened in.

· Psychology Test (Day-2)
I wrote all 12 stories and expressed myself freely whatever came to my mind first.
In second test I was able to attempt 57 words in WAT and lastly I attempted only 47 SRT’s.
Now comes the most interesting part of the test *SELF DESCRIPTION TEST*. As I had already prepared my SD so I wrote it as fast as I could because it was quite lengthy.

· GTO (DAY-3 and Day-4)

I got ample amount of time to give my points during Group discussion and we all spoke quite well during our GD’s. Now comes the most interesting part of GTO tasks i.e., PGT and HGT. Gave ideas in PGT and at some places was leading the front. In HGT, I took the front and lead my team. But my GTO enjoyed changing colours and was trying to get more ideas from me. In CT also he continuously changed colours and at one point I was totally confused what to do but GTO was friendly enough and gave me a clue and I completed the task. He pressurized me with time limit but I was comfortable in all situations he was putting me and gave ideas.
Now comes GPE, GPE is really fun exercise I must say. I gave good points for making a group plan and overall we had a nice discussion.

Lecturett went quite good because I had the same topic in my card which we got in GD 1. So I decided to go with the topic and summarise 20 minutes of GD into 2 minutes lecture. In individual obstacle race I was able to do only 9 obstacles. I knew it I won’t be able to do 3rd obstacle so made my circuit in such a way so that it comes in the last.
Overall my GTO tasks went quite well and I was satisfied from my performance.

· Interview:
I was called for interview on day 3 but was sent back due to lunch time. So after completion of day 4, I was the only person left for the interview and I was interviewed by the additional I/O in game dress. He asked me questions regarding Olympics, current affairs and questions related to games I wrote. As I was from technical background, so he asked me technical questions and answered him quite well. Though I didn’t had good marks in my engineering but he was impressed from my research papers and projects which I had made during my engineering. As I am working with The Art of Living from last 14 years, so I had no issues when he asked questions regarding co-curricular activities. I had keen interest in learning new languages and playing musical instruments, so he asked me to introduce myself in languages known to me and few basic questions regarding instruments I can play. He asked me about my strengths and weakness and most commonly asked question that why do you want to join the forces and if recommended where would you find yourself fit in the forces. As I didn’t had any nervousness or fear so I went with full confidence and gave all answers which he asked me.

I think interview is something which we can prepare beforehand because he asks questions according to your PIQ and other than that all the questions which I/O asks are all on the ssbcrack website. So I didn’t face any problem in my interview and was truthful to all the questions being asked related to any sphere of my life.

· Conference Day *THE D Day*:

I dressed up nicely and went for the conference. Before calling my chest number, I had to wait for nearly 8-10 minutes. I wasn’t thinking anything and was watching birds and clouds. He asked me about my stay and food. He asked me about my performance compared to my previous attempt to which I told him that Psychology test was really good because this time I have expressed myself very well and have answered everything truthfully. GTO was good because I did tasks which I didn’t do last time because I had Acrophobia. As he was my interviewing officer so he didn’t ask me about my interview. Then he asked me about who was best according to me in my group? I answered him that everyone had different qualities and gave few qualities of everyone without mentioning name or chest number of my group mates.

After conference we were asked to wait for an hour or so. We were sitting in café, singing songs to motivate each other. Good thing was we were all happy and satisfied with our performance. Finally they called us for announcing result, and after his motivational speech the officer said that only one guy stood up to our expectations and his chest number is “chest number 8, guy with the French beard”.

Trust me friends that feeling was something which I can’t express in words.All I can say is when you work hard, than there is no power in this world which can stop you from achieving your dreams. I almost cried while speaking out my name but somehow I managed to stop my emotions. Officer smiled at me and congratulated me.

Friends, we all have it in us, just brush up yourself that’s it. If you want to become an officer my advice is to Act like an officer, think like an officer and before doing any action ask yourself whether an ideal officer would do this or not.

In the end, I would like to thank ssbcrack website, Olive Greens team, my teachers, my parents, my friends, my well-wishers, people who didn’t believed in me and laughed at my failures. You all were my driving force and kept me going.

Special thanks to my best friend Guneet Bir Singh who believed in me and kept my spirit high during my bad times.
PS: Our country’s enemies now won’t have place to hide. Brace yourself, lions are coming to hunt you.

“ Nishchay Kar… Jeet Apni Karu…. “

My best wishes to every Aspirant.

See you in forces.

Jai hind.

Meet Dr Captain Nikita Srivastava Brought 5 Year-old Girl Back To Life

The Army hospital in Assam’s Hattigor has given a new life to a five-year-old girl suffering from Encephalitis. The hospital treated the girl free of cost after her parents could treat their daughter due to the financial constraints.

The parents of Seema Boro, the residents of Shantipur village, had lost all hope and accepted the fate of their seriously ill daughter after they had tried their best keeping in view their socio economic limitations. They had taken the child around to a private medical institute in Tezpur and Guwahati Medical College. But, they had to take the child home as they could afford the treatment cost.

Seema’s saddened parents then came to know that about Army’s Red Horn Division’s Field Hospital situated in Hattigor, which renders medical services not just to the Army but also the civil population. The parents saw a ray of hope and came to the Field Hospital with the little Seema who was in a near coma state.

The family couldn’t believe its luck when it met young and energetic lady medical officer on duty, Captain Nikita Srivastava, who immediately diagnosed that the little girl was suffering from infectious Encephalitis. It is a condition where the brain tissues get inflamed or swell up in response to an infection. This increases the intra cranial pressure leading to severe symptoms like headache, nausea, vomiting, high grade fever, lethargy, drowsiness, visual disturbances, respiratory disturbances, decreased or loss of consciousness, stiff neck and seizures which may prove life threatening or debilitating if left untreated.

Captain Nikita Srivastava took it as a challenge to get Seema back to normal and after due discussions and permission of her Commanding Officer, she started her treatment. She also consulted a known Paediatrician in her home town Bareilly to take his advice and based on various lab tests planned a schedule so that the treatment could be smoothly administered. Her treatment continued for about three months during which she started showing remarkable signs of improvement.

Seema, is now leading a normal life. She plays with her friends and is soon about to start going to school.

What’s IMA Whiskey?

The Indian Military Academy (IMA, Dehradun) creates one of the Finest officers in the Indian Army. The institution has been turning Boys into Men since the day it was established on October 1, 1932.

The Academy upholds the highest moral and ethical values from the graduates. Inscribed in the oak paneling at the Eastern entrance of the Chetwode Hall is the Academy’s credo, cited from the speech of Field Marshal Chetwode at the inauguration of the academy in 1932 —

The safety, honour and welfare of your country come first, always and every time.
The honour, welfare and comfort of the men you command come next.
Your own ease, comfort and safety come last, always and every time.

Only a few Survive the brutal Training the Academy Offers.

From exhausting route-marches to photography, painting, seminars, term-papers, tours, and sports, the training is an action filled scenario nurturing the mental and physical potential of the Gentleman Cadets (GC). All GCs are allowed equal expanse for growth within the given time frame. The pace of training at the Academy is fast, fierce, and intense. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that it becomes a test of one’s mettle and capabilities, and in psychological terms an anticipation of what the cadets would face in the battlefield where there is no scope of explanation and rationalization for failures. The completion of training is, therefore, a sort of self-assessment which awakens and stimulates one’s self-esteem, sense of honor and dignity. A GC learns a great deal of values of life during his stay in the Academy.

Not only a great deal of values but a lot other fascinating or adventuresome things are learned by the GCs at the Academy. Ever heard of IMA Whiskey?? Ring a bell? No? Well, every Gentleman Cadet at IMA has tasted IMA Whiskey at least once a while at the Academy. Now, you might be marveling what is an IMA Whiskey?

Let me drop you a hint, it’s NOT actually a drink or a beverage!! Jolted you?
Then what is IMA WHISKEY?

It is kind of an exercise the cadets have to do at the Academy.

After a training for 4-5 hours when the cadets are not even able to lift their arms, they are made to put their finger down on the ground and go round that finger 20 or so times!

When the cadets complete their circles, they get giddy and feel dizzy and nauseating. They feel everything spinning around them and are not even able to stand.

This is called IMA Whiskey or The Indian Military Whiskey!! A surprising revelation, huh!!

Now when and why is it done?

This is usually done after the Boxing lessons. When the cadets complete IMA WHISKEY, the instructor makes them punch a punching bag 20 times as fast and as hard as they possible can hit.

Then they go down again, do circles around their finger for 20 times, then again hit the punching bag 20 times and then again go down and again….

This cycle goes on and on….

The GCs get confused why their instructors make them do this kind of stuff. This is done because in hand to hand combat when an enemy hits you, you get all dizzy when that first punch lands on your head.

Now, the enemy after hitting you first might think that he has knocked you (the opponent) out but suddenly you just come out with 20 faster and stronger punches, leaving the enemy knocked off completely because this has become your Muscle Memory. And muscle memory is the ability to reproduce a particular movement without conscious thought, acquired as a result of frequent repetition of that movement.
All thanks to the instructor who made cadets undergo such rigorous exercise called the IMA Whiskey! Excited to join IMA soon? 😉

11 Things You Should Never Do Before or During SSB Personal Interviews

11 THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER DO IN PERSONAL INTERVIEW

“Gentlemen, in forces we are not looking for any extraordinary men. We are looking for ordinary men who will do extraordinary things when the time comes…”

Nobody likes awkward moments, especially not in an SSB interview! The problem is when we worry so much about making sure every little thing goes right, it’s easy to forget about the things that could go wrong. So how can we ensure that we have an embarrassment free interview experience?

Here are these 11 things all candidates hope they don’t do on the personal interview day, and how to avoid them.

Be late
Let’s face it, turning up late to the interview is never an option. It only leaves you looking unprofessional, unorganised, and undisciplined (and/or sweaty too!).
Use slang
The conventionality of your speech is partly dependent on the role you are going for and the type of organization they are. And when the organization is the prestigious Indian Armed Forces, which is known for its absolute hospitality, usage of slang is to be locked up in a box and thrown far away in the ocean! Nonetheless, as a general rule, avoid using slang in any professional premises.

Remember, although you should feel comfortable around your interviewing officer, they’re not your best friends just yet. Mate’s, bro’s, friend’s are never appropriate.
Be arrogant and over-confident
Being confident in your abilities and expressing why you’re the right fit for the armed forces is fine, but don’t overdo it. There’s a fine line between wanting the recommendation and seeming entitled to it. It’s okay to talk about your previous achievements and reveal about your potential and skills required, but it’s not okay to tell the interviewing officer that you deserve that job more than anyone else. Because nobody likes a show-off.
Dress inappropriately
Interview outfit etiquette for an SSB personal interview is already known to you. Make the best use of the information. Try your outfit on beforehand, make sure everything fits. After all, the last thing you want to do is spend hours before the interview trying to find your other white sock or the right pair of trousers without a rip in them!

Interview outfit tip: trackie bottoms are never acceptable!
Whine about your current employer/company/place/anything
Okay, so you didn’t get your favorite Chili Paneer in the SSB mess and you’re heartbroken. Or is it, you don’t get paid enough and are underemployed!

We get it. But even if you are 100% sure you deserve so much better, an interview probably isn’t a good time to start voicing all of the feels.
Avoid the temptation to express how much you loathe your current boss, or complain about your colleagues, or dislike the food served in the mess, or what are the incompetencies of your native place and be as positive as possible. Sound like a team player, not someone who holds a grudge.
Lie
Everyone tells little white lies and over-exaggerates at interviews, right? For some, it might be true, but it is risky and unjust, and it rarely works out for the best. You will only end up stumbling over yourself when asked to elaborate your story or cross-questioned, and there’ll be tell-tale signs from your body language that could give it all away. And you will always be caught by the IO!
So be honest about your genuine achievements and experience, and it will work in your favour.

Slouch/yawn/fall asleep
Or anything else that hints boredom. You won’t be taken seriously if you’re constantly yawning, sitting so low in your chair that you are practically on the floor, or generally looking like you would rather be in bed. Be active, fresh and unruffled.

Be aware of your body language and stay focussed throughout, listening politely to what the interviewing officer has to say and remaining positive and enthusiastic. Oh, and conscious. That too.
Forget to listen
It is important to wait for your turn to speak, and not interrupt your interviewing officer mid-speech. It might seem like a good idea to express your enthusiasm by constantly conversing, but only do this when the ball’s in your court.

Sit patiently and listen to what the IO have to say. The last thing you want is to go on to answer a question he has already asked, or have absolutely no understanding of the question because you were too busy daydreaming about what you are going to have for dinner that evening!
Focus on the money
You want the service because you need money, that’s a given. It’s a life need. But you should also want it for other reasons like, you know, adventures, sports, prestige, service to the motherland, etc. These are what will impress the interviewing officer and make them more likely to consider you.

Personal financial issues aren’t an interview friendly topic either, so keep it professional.
Apologise too much
Don’t apologize for a lack of experience or an inability to answer a question straight away or an inability to hear the questions or understand them, that frequently. Especially if you’re saying ‘sorry’ repeatedly. This will indicate a lack of confidence and suggest you’re unsure of your capabilities. Apologize once but firmly.

However, there are certain things that do need an apology. Accidentally calling your interviewing officer Bhaiya, Uncle falls firmly in this criteria! 😉
Fail to make eye contact
Wide-eyed enthusiasm is fine. Wide-eyed staring? Uh-Oh! Not so much.

If you do manage to settle on a non-threatening amount of eye contact with the IO, embrace it. It can be a great way to show respect on both sides and lets the interviewing officer know you are listening to him, and are confident in what you have to say.
