Seven Success Points for SSB

“SSB is a battle, fight it bravely” ~~ Jayendra Pratap Singh. SSB is an altogether different exam as it’s a personality assessment program where personality is assessed in and out. So one has to be ready accordingly. It’s quite different from what people give at colleges or at other organisations. The assessors here would be trained personals who are expert in their field to assess the competency which are nothing but the 15 OLQ’s that they are looking for.

The qualities can be looked in my other articles which I have published. Aspirants have been asking me about the OLQ’s and how to prepare. In this article we will see how one can prepare for success. We also need to see that one is always working on their personality and psychology as these things are only assessed and looked at. Also English is essential as there are people from all over the country so one has to ensure that everyone understand what is happening in SSB. So though it’s not the requirement but essential for creating the impression. The following point will help:

•    Self-introspection is the only tool which should be followed by practice so one should ensure this order. The output of the self-introspection should be a mirror in your attempt as it should be the true reflection of your personality.
•    Do not try to pose what you are not. Be truthful and be yourself. Else you will be caught anyway
•    Be natural and don’t try to fake anything. Same things are tested so many times there that you will not realise where to speak what
•    Don’t be a parrot to rattle out things whenever not needed. Apply common sense and then speak. Even if you speak less but whatever you say if it has quality no one can stop you from clearing.
•   Don’t try to over perform in GTO. Remember it’s not the place to prove individual potential, but it’s something where you need to carry the group across and that will only provide you access through the GTO rounds. SSB is such an exam where you are tested individually and in group also. Perform equally well. An officer cannot be individualistic.
  

•   In PI you will get sufficient chance to prove yourself as the interviews normally last for 45min to 1 hour and you will be judges on many aspects. You need to revisit your whole life in an interview and after coming out you will realise how great you were in all the phases and what more could be done to improve.
•   The various psychological rounds will test how as a person you are and how you pursue things in life. The family background, the values and moral you follow might also be tested as it has a greater impact in your life. Psychology is not fixed and varies as per the situation and the phase you are going through in life. The psychologist just suggests being a positive thinker in even the harsh situations of life and excelling because such situations test the courage.
