30th Dec 2007 – 04-Jan 2008 ( location : Allahabad cantonment area)
In this blog I would share my experiences of my SSB interview for armed forces engineering. To start with the five days were fun. We were the absentee batch as most of the people did not arrive on their first call though I did not receive the first call( lost somewhere in the Indian postal system). I was very optimistic about this attempt though Allahabad had its own reputation to stand for.
Not many did arrive for it being the absentee batch, the driver who came to pick us up from the station did comment ” Ab kya hoga is desh ka” ( what will happen to the country now). Also I thought that the SSB people also would not have much interest in us as most seats may have been filled by now and we were just formalities. Anyways they had to take it and we had to perform. So we arrived at the cantonment area at 1pm in the evening and we made way to the dormitory of 11 SSb board. The board dormitory was named after the famous battle of the India-China war where Indians fought bravely.
This is some description of the battle of Chusul which gave Major Shaitan Singh Paramveer chakra
“
Icy wings chilled the soldiers to their bone but they could not relax their guard. The enemy was coming. Then just before the dawn the Chinese attacked. Platoons 7 and 8 of C company of a battalion of the Kumaon Regiment, led by Major Shaitan Singh took the brunt of the attack.7 Platoon was encircled and wiped out. 8 Platoon too fought to the last man. The company Commander, Major Singh, unmindful of his personal safety moved from platoon to platoon to encourage his men even after he was hit by bullets.Two soldiers tried to move him to a safer place but when he sensed danger to them to leave him. They kept him behind a boulder on the slope of a hill.
In this action, 109 Kumaonis out of a total of 123 were killed. Of the 14 survivors, 9 were severely injured. The Chinese suffered many more in killed. Estimates are around 800 Chinese casualties. After the war was over, the body of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati was found at the same place, dead from the bullet wound and the freezing cold. It was flown to Jodhpur and cremated with full military honours. Major Shaitan Singh Bhati was awarded Param Vir Chakra, the highest wartime gallantry medal, posthumously, for his leadership and devotion to duty.

“
In the evening we had briefing about what will be expected from us in the place and next morning we had our screening test. We introduced ourselves to the other individuals who had come for the interview.
Day 1
The screening test comprised of verbal and non verbal aptitude test and also picture perception test and a group discussion on that basis. In the picture perception test we were shown a very blur image and we had to write a story on it and conditions on what led to that situation and what will happen in the future.
Well I could see only one girl playing piano and so I wrote a story about her getting in the mood to play as it was a very sleepy afternoon and she was remembering something and then she plays some beautiful melody and bla-bla-bla. Then we had a discussion on it and to my amazement some of them had seen more than one people and wrote a gory story that she does not have much money and bla bla bla and later she becomes a mozart or she helps the poor and bla bla bla…. well at least I could not see from where did the poor and other stuffs came out from.
Then we had a GD and we had to boil down to one story and finally it was agreed that their was a girl who was playing a piano… plus she had a bad past and a glorious future. Well on overall ground the GD was good, atleast we could make one story.
The results of the screening test was declared in the evening and only eight of us survived and the others were sent home. We were given chest numbers and my chest number was 2. Next day again early in the morning we were called up for next set of tests which would be more rigorous. One thing to note that the day was 31stdecember and we were not partying but all of us in the dormitory went to sleep at 9 as all were very tired. Though before going to sleep I called up my parents and brother and wished them Happy New Year and the went to sleep. Though I received some calls after midnight but that did not wake me up as I was deep asleep.
Day 2
The previous night the temperature at that time touched 0*C at night in Allahabad and we had these “fauji kambals” and that too in pairs to prevent us from the biting cold. Getting up in the morning was like hell. You had to get up at 5:00 and and as you come out of your colts the chill hits you. The shiver runs down your body as the temperature is 3*C and we have to attend to our daily chores. The morning tea could not have tasted better if it was served in any other season. It needed lots of courage to touch the water coming out of the taps and I and few others decided to skip the bath that morning, but there were some brave among us you did have bath. The mess would stop serving breakfast after 5:45, so we had to rush and all of us being engineers were the last to report in the mess and always scolded for doing so in the coming days. The other boards would have finished by the time anyone from our side reached the canteen. Later on many of us did not even go for breakfast as the cold was too harsh to handle. After all engineers are supposed to be lazies and so we proved it.
We had another series of test waiting for us. Now it was a series of 12 picture perception tests, though this time the pictures were somewhat clear and we had only 3 minutes per picture to write a story. This time though I wrote about gloomy pasts and bright futures. The 12th story was a blank screen and we had to write whatever we wished to write and so i wrote something. Then we had sentence completion tests and sentence creation test where we were given about 60 of each types. Then we had to write an essay about ourselves, what my parents think about me and what my teachers think about me, what my friends think about me and what I think about myself. I had also to write about my weak points and my strong points and so I wrote something in it. You know this was really painful for someone who was unprepared ( like me) to think and write all this especially after attending the Infosys Soft Skill trainings. Those who attended this could understand what I mean to say.
I also like to recall one incident that day. While filling up some forms, the instructor happened to ask me something and I replied “Ya”. He asked me what “Ya” means and I said its short form of “Yes”. But he replied that you use this when you speak with disrespect. This is cultural shock especially for a person like me who was given cross-cultural interaction training in Infosys and taught to speak in this formal fashion. There were many shocks in the coming days.
Next on the same day I was called for personal interview. I went for about one hour and this is where I performed poorly in my entire SSB and may be the reason why I was not selected. I was made to feel comfortable and a psychologist was taking my interview and a brigadier was sitting on my left hand side, was noting my gestures ( which I realized much late in my interview). The interviewer asked me first about my job and how was I liking it. I said that the job was good though I was not liking it much. Then I tried to explain him the reasons why. Then he asked me what was my profile and I said that I was on a bench right now(but he could not understand what a bench was, So I explained him completely what it was). Then he asked what project I was in and as I was in bench and I did not know what type of project were going on, I said I was working on building communication softwares for British Telecom, but then I again had to explain him what communication means in this context. Then he asked me about my Boss and tell about two good points and two bad points about him. At this point I could not remember any name as I did not have any PM and told the name of GPM ” Nikhil Datar” whom I met on the first day and never met again. He was not even my GPM now but I could only recall his name and talked about two good points and added that , as I do had interaction only through mails it would be very wrong to speak anything against him…. well I tried to sound diplomatic.
Then I had to speak two good points and two bad points about my office friends, childhood friends, achievements from my school days and college days and I would say he was quite impressed though . Then he asked the questions on why I wanted to join the army and leave Infosys and why do u feel that u could become an officer in the armed forces. Here I somehow messed up and could not completely make him belief what I had in my mind. I also spoke something which I was not supposed to speak but the interview took it out of me and this was the major blunder.
He asked me about sports and current affairs. He asked me where is the next football world cup and I did not know this. He then asked me about the ranks in Indian army and somehow I missed Brigadier rank. He asked me ” How many commands army had, but I could only recall five”. Then he asked me some other questions related to the armed forces.
Then he asked about my opinion about the naxallite movement. I said that I feel Naxalism was not a disease but one has to study the movement before coming to a decision. Though I had read about the Naxalbadi movement but it would be too childish to comment without knowing the present situation. So it would be wrong to comment without having proper knowledge of their propagandas. Though personally I won’t take any decision but if the army asks me to go there I would follow orders….
Then he asked me about environment and development and then questions about what I read and sports – though I could not tell him where the next world cup will take place and also about the music. I could feel after the interview that it had not gone like the way I desired. Though I wished to do well in my other tests.
Day 3
Next day again early in the morning we had ground tasks and group tasks, more of an physical activity. Now we had to go there in shorts and T-shirts and temperature was 5-6*C outside. We were shaking like hell but the GT officer, a colonel and a major seemed like unaffected from the cold. The first test was the military planning test where we were given a situation on a map and had to make strategy to tackle the situation and come out with a plan.
The situation was ” We had gone for a trekking down to a remote location and we are team of 8 and there we overhear some terrorists who were going to blow off a dam and also to derail a train coming from south location. Then at that time a kid comes running that he saw a mad elephant running towards a village. And at that same time the guide with us falls from a spot and he was bleeding profusely from his head. Now we had to plan out how we will tackle this situation.”
And we after a group discussion did come out with a feasible solution which I thought was good enough for the situation. The next was GD on two topics ” The energy crisis of India” and the other on ” The migration of villagers to cities and the trouble created”. The GD also did go quite well.
Then we had the snake race where we had to run with a rope with atleast 3 people holding the rope at one time and cross obstacles. Also we had to choose a war cry and choose ‘Vande Mataram”. I would say I had never shouted louder ever like how I was shouting and cheering my team( except in rock concerts but there your voice is toned down by the amplifiers). It was an all different feeling that we had to make all of our team mates to cross the obstacles (camaraderie) and not the selfish and self centered attitude that we are taught from our very first days in the competitive environment of our colleges and schools. The obstacles were not easy and people do get hurt doing this and ambulance was standing just in case anything goes wrong. The obstacles were spread over a 100 meter zone and needs help from others to complete.
As I was having the chest no 2 I was second on the line till the first obstacle. But somewhere near the first obstacle the chest No 1 was not there and I was in the lead now (though others were experienced and this was my first time). I shouted vande mataram and went through three poles making a figure of eight through them and taking the rope with me. Then we had to climb an eight feet wall and move to the next wall through a log of wood. I was again in the front and reached the other wall holding the rope, but the third one holding it fell down while crossing and it was an eight feet fall. We were given a 5 sec penalty for dropping the rope. It seemed the obstacles were not difficult enough that they put red and white marks on them and touching the red mark leads to penalty. We were given 10 seconds penalty for team members touching the red mark.
Then we had to climb a net and crawl down and again there was no one before me. Then there were some more obstacles and there were some more climbs and falls and then the last obstacle. This time someone else braved to come before me and it was to climb a log of wood with cuts meant for holding the foot to a height of 10 ft and then slide down from the other side. Though the other guy who was now in front of me skid and fell down from about eight feet, he though tried to struggle for some time. Then again I was on the lead and I shouted ” Vande Mataram” again and took the rope and came down the other side. We completed this in 9:35 seconds and no body was badly hurt. I had never given a war cry in my life and did feel for the first time doing things with such a josh.
Next we had strategy building steps to cross , where we were given a round log , rope and flat wooden bench to make bridge through some obstacles without touching the ground and cross them. This was really tough and a mind bending exercise to do something of this sort. We as a group did complete two quite difficult exercises of crossing the obstacles quite easily, maybe because we were engineers but otherwise these are very difficult for others.
The day was over now and we were very tired after the hard work that we went for an afternoon rest and then later went to the Allahabad market to do some bird watching. Next day was going to be tough and we did go to bed early that day as all were very tired.
Day 4
And again in the next morning most of us missed the breakfast. Today will be individual tasks and extempore and some more obstacle crossing exercises. Again at 6 in morning , shivering like hell and just wearing shorts and T-shirt and temperature at 5*C we were made to sit in a line and each of us were given a topic to speak on and my topic was ” The current traffic situation in India” and I think I spoke quite well for 3 minutes. Then we had the individual tasks where the maximum accidents take place. Before this we were asked to run two rounds of the fields to warm up and then cross a set of 10 difficult obstacles in 3 minutes and do as much as possible. The obstacles were difficult and again not for the poor of hearts and each had a number assigned to it according to the difficulty ranging from 1-10.
I would tell the obstacles by the way I attempted it. The first I tried was the most easiest one , running up a ramp and jumping on the other side. Next it was to jump over a ditch and hold a rope hanging midway and swing and jump off the ditch. The next was to climb a ladder to an elevated location at 10 feet elevation and jump to a elevation about 6 feet high and then jump down. The next was to climb a ramp and jump off an elevated obstacle – high jump style. The next was to climb up a 10 feet high location and use a rope to do a mogli style swing and fall on gravel about 8-10 feet away. Then you do the commando climb where you walk on a rope and holding a rope overhead and then cross to the other side and use rope to climb down. Then walk over three logs of wood without falling. Then climb over an elevated stand made like ramp and shout the chest number from the highest elevated point on that and come down. And I missed one obstacle to do a long jump over some drums kept. But I repeated two more obstacles in my stipulated time of three minutes. There were again this red and white marks which you can and you cannot touch.
After this I could not feel my fingers for about one hour as they had gone numb while negotiating with the ropes in the cold. My throat was also dry and I was damn tired after this. After that we had command task where we had to choose two and command them to make a bridge over some obstacles and cross over them. After that we had half team obstacles were teams of 4 were asked to cross these obstacles and finally a full team task to cross a much tougher obstacle. It is said that people cannot cross these obstacles but we being engineers all of us were able to do it with much ease, though there were slight hiccups in between.
The day was hectic but now it was over. We planned to visit Allahabad as the result was awaited next day after the conference. We visited the Sangam, the famous Hanuman mandir near it, the Allahabad museum and the Nehru house and also visited the place where Chandra Shekhar Azad was shot. The day was fun and tiring but tomorrow was the D-day.
Day 5
We all dressed in formals and were to attend the conference with other officers in the board. The conference was just a formality as I was told and your fate had been decided before that. All the officers who were involved in the selection procedure would discuss if you should be taken in or now. I was the second to be called for the conference and I went in. There were sitting all the officers of the 11 SSB board in complete military uniform. There were about 14-16 of them wearing the sexy military outfit and it I really felt a chill going down my spine while sitting in front of them. They asked general questions about my stay and how I liked the place and I said irrespective of the result I loved my stay and I also added that everyone should atleast come once in lifetime for SSb to know how much really you have in you.
After about half an hour of the conference, the results were declared by a brigadier and our batch was completely washed off with no selections. Though we had two people who were in the IMA before and they had to leave for some personal and unavoidable circumstances and one was recommended for 4 times from different places but for some reason he was not able to make it. Well after all Allahabad SSB has a reputation to stand for. But one strange thing that the Brigadier said did hurt me in the end. He said ” People are leaving armed forces to join the IT but you people having such good salaries want to join the armed forces for the reason of job security”. Well I do not know how did they make out this logic but job security was never in my books before coming to the armed forces.
Well irrespective of the outcome, these five days would be some of my best days of my life. The day started early at 5 and ended by 12 and then you get to do lots of stuff when you are disciplined. I enjoyed my stay.

Dear Arindam,
Thanks for posting such a detailed, beautiful memory stimulating story on your blog. I got back my 5 days … after a long time. (I attended SSB twice, 8 years ago)
In fact, I was thinking to extract something from memory on my blog – and found yours after Googling. So I did not dare to write it again – I just made a small reference to your blog – hope you won’t mind.
You can check it out here: http://debnathb.blogspot.com/2008/09/5-unforgettable-days.html
Hope this learning experience inspires you as much as did it to us. Please don’t hesitate to drop a small mail (d.bikram@gmail.com) if you feel so.

thanx to u.
Hi,
You really came out with the entire drill. I would like to concur with the point where you said you felt bad about the Brigadier saying something. I experienced the same dialogue with the Dentist in the Military Hospital. By saying this, I feel they are only degrading the faith people have in the army. And if an officer says that, “Have you come here because you didnt make it anywhere else, then it is really sad on there part only.”
Any ways, I’d like to wish you luck if you try next time.
Regards,
Simarpreet Singh
Mr Arindam,

hi to everyone,
SSB interview seems to be tough one both in physically and mentally..nevertheless I am determined to go through it on 18th of April in allahabad… anyone going from Bangalore for the same date do get in touch so that we can go together…u can mail me at
rooland.hi@gmail.com
Thank bosss,
the job of army is one of the prestigius. One may be president of india but tough to get through SSB. It needs hiden potential, determination, courage, leadership qualities etc. one must attend SSB after full prepration and specially your experince with Allahabad Board has helped many candidates.

Dear! i think that when u said that u don’t like the job but u wanted to join it….it was clear that u had not come with a will to join the job but came for mauj masti….moreover,, from ur words it was clear to brigadier that u people ran for job securities………………………..rest everything was fine in u….i think u should have been selected………..
I am really very impressed by your honest description of what you faced and how you performed during your stay.Soon iam also going for SSB interview and your blog has definitely helped me to point out the factors where i need to work upon myself.
Good luck for your future an dplease, once again, do go for SSB and you’ll succeed.
JAI HIND
Hello Arindam!
Proud of u brother.Khub Bhalo LAglo tomar experience guno jene (Felt very nice knowing ur experiences.)
Franky speaking,after receiving the SSB cal i took it very lightly bt after reading ur article & da comments people wrote i realised wat a great opportunity i am getting.
Though not very assertive for getting selected bt atleast 4 being genuine 2me,i wish 2 giv my 100%.being n engineer im undergoing my training in HCL.so its very hard 2 find time for prepaing 4 dis interview in these 15days ( as the call is received 20 days b4 da interview date.)
one more thing, i wonder how u did those physical tasks and i wonder how wud i do?? i never even tried 2 imitate even a bit of it in 23years of my life.still being +ve & aiming 2 gain da best experience of my life till date im going Allahabad on 31st May.Anyone wish 2 join me from nagpur do mail me.
Suggestions &queries (after my interview) r most welcome.
my id- yoursamitabh03@yahoo.com
yaar, the man aab ish desh ka kya hoga is still there. and even he guided us for a long 5-days in allahabad SSB board. unfortunately, before the screeing result one of my friend was not there. And proudly he said “Dhota hoon saaloon ko”. finally he boosted our moralty saying that. if you having really guts to fight and to accept the challenge, then come again and “nikal ke dikhao”.
and I am on the way to go there again.
wish U all the best, those are going to any corner of the SSB board.
hi ranjan,
thanks and wishing u the same..
warm regards,
yaar, abhi sekro hain ish desh mein jo desh ke liye jaan kurban dene aur lene ke liye tayar hain. Aur ishi tayari ko woh SSB waloe parakh te hein aur chun ke lete hain. unh ka koi haq nehi banta woh tumhare future decide karrein. but unka resposibilty wanta desh future woh decide karrein. SSb koi wadi aukat wali chiz nehin hai but, thoda hat ke hai. aaj nikalo to kaal ek aur challenge. yehi to kambaqt zindegi hai aur SSB.
so take it easy and go with a better preapration.
hello bro,
first of all the narration was excellent.

anyone coming for the SSB at Bhopal on 30th oct…pls do reply to
avolcano85@gmail.com
Hello Buddy,
Your article made me walk through the lanes of some good old memory.
Appeared twice for SSB. First time at Allahabad and then in Bangalore. Recommended in both the centres but could not joinn the forces on the medical ground. It was a good three years back but the memory still remains.
It is really good to see so many of the youngsters aspiring to join the Indian Forces.
My two cent of advice for the SSB interviews:
a) Be confident and most important of all be your own. It is just you and your personality that they want to asses.
b) Be cooperative in your group tasks and demostrate your leadership qualities through actions.
Remember, a leader is not someone who is the amongst the first ones to cross the finish line but,who makes sure that nobody from his team fails to reach that finish line.
I wish you all the very best and hope that all of you do well.
hi
thanks will surely keep your suggestion in mind.. m going on this 14th of dec. bangalore wish me luck..

Hii,
Its great writing…I really enjoyed it arindam…
Thax 4 it. I have also attended SSb(TGC 109) at the same place. I too have similar feeling.
I got the 2nd call 4 SSB (TGC 110) to Bhopal. But i didnt gone. Again i hav been called 4 absentee batch. I havnt decided weather to go or not.
The main problem is travelling. My home is at Kerala, it takes 48 hrs to reach ter. If the reservation(For Kerala Express ) confirmed i will go.
Can u suggest me any site 4 SSB preparation.
Hey Arindam,
Hope u remember this indecisive Guy u met during ur Return Journey.
i was Returning from my Bhopal SSB failure..or Hold I shouldn’t be calling it a Failure Better an Experiance..U have Said it Very Well…”That Everyone Should attend The SSB atleast Once”. Its the Certain encounter With ur own personality.
u get to know What u are Worth for.
You know When we met and Explored i surprized to know how Similar We are…just one Differnece…That u are All What i m Still trying to be.
1.An Explorer
2.A musician
3.A Social Activist
4.A Person With Very Clear View towards his Goal[Thats Where we are Different Coz i m yet not Certain about it”]
5.A Writer As well.
That was Really a pleasure talking and meeting to u.
Hope Our Way Will Cross again.

Hi
tomorrow I would be also going to Allahabad for SSB and reading ur experiences are a great boon to me ….I hope i make to the end…..
dear friend.. thank u for your wonderful article.i am a civil service aspirant from tamil nadu.now only i completed my main exam.coming 12th am called for interview in allahabad.ur article may help for me.
hello arindam
first of all i have to admit it when you say about the reputation of allahabd center.i had the more or less similar experince over ther.i had gone for my ssb in june for women entry in JAG.have applied again and am thnkful that this time my center is Bhopal.
but whatever the case maybe the experince was really good and i actually made a friend their for lifetime.and everyone must go for ssb once in lifetime.
all the very best for your life.
hi aridam
it was nice to go through ur article
but i did not agree with ur opinion @ reputation of allahabad selection centre,friend indian army has got 10XSSB out of which 5 are at allahabad which implies half of the indian army aspirants go thru allahabad only and as such result or pass percentage is almost same in all the 3 selection centres i.e at bhopal/allahabad/bangalore.
pass/fail is decided by the candidate himself if he is deserving no one can fail him,its just our reaction formation against our failures to blame someon else for our failure( its part of human defence mechanism). so laa readers plz don’t loose hopes if u see ur call letter frm allahabad. all the very best to gr8 aspirants.god bless u all

good description.
Hello friend,
Iam going to attend SSB interview for officers training academy on dec 23.Iam a civil engineering graduate.
i have to prepare my technical ?or general aptitude is enough…Please give me some tips for preparation..iam very nervous..
please inform me to my mail.
Dear all,
arindam has indeed given a vivid picture of what happens at and in a ssb.
Well Allahabad does have a reputation.
I am a ex sainik school product.
NDA, CDS, OTA where my choices well one after another I got rejected by the “Services Rejection Board”
At TCS I had a good time for Three years. Then they gave me “a pink slip” , all hell broke, the job security, man now I really wanted it.
I would like to share it with you , that my marriage was fixed, and the girl told me on my face, after hearing all my episodes
” I will marry you, provided you prove yourself, by Getting Recommended at the SSB.” She is a Doctor by profession, I liked her, but her condition made me freez.
It was then that I decided to give it a try for One last time at the SSB.
Now my friends let me share my experience with you.
As I had not had any coaching by any one I thought ( I am really smart- EX RD Parade commander at NCC New Delhi- a Sainik School Product)!!!!
It was then some of my college NCC Junior ref me to a coaching centre
http://www.ssbcoaching.com
DEFENCE ACADEMY COIMBATORE
They put me through a Debriefing session.
I came it with my Randevouze at the earlier three SSB attempts.
The PSYCH
after going through all the Volume of papers
told me
” I AM AN “I” SPECIALIST”
The GTO TOLD ME ” I WOULD HAVE BEEN Turned down as I was a DOMINATOR in that GD they had.
I always told others what to do at the PGT. HGT etc.
man I was shocked, the invewier, gave me 10 points about why I would not get selected.
This was my turning point.

Hey,
Aaaaamazing experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nd xpressed also wonderfully 🙂 ……… hey i cleared EKT nd having SSB dec end so wanted some tips frm u ….. Please can u mail me some points that i should remember for the interview….
Hi just be relax while facing the interview.you just need to do good in interview.If you can do average in Psychological ant GTO thenb you can make it.
If u watch Roadies or Big Boss then learn something from it.
When you arrive in the centre just try to find out ur group member and always be with them.
Do some flattering so that they can help you in GD and in the task.
Play a smart Game.
If you can ur group member fool then you can go ahead.
bye take care and Good luck Join me on Orkut.

Hello Sir,
I am Tushar.. U wrote Excellently.. Many of my doubts are clear after reading the above. m 2 going to allahabad on 18 feb, 2010. Hope if everything goes fine i could come back with flying colours…
hey that was really great 🙂
hey gaize………………..iam coming to allahbad……….for ssb ………………………………………………………..
Hello sir,
i hve gone through ur blog it was really very interesting especially the ‘ya’ incident .Ur blog helps many of us to understand the procedure of ssb interviews i hve also applied for tes of indian army waiting for my call letter and very much eager to taste the flavour of ssb.and i wish that u wll also be a n army officer 1 day !

hai…..
its awesome yaar…
the way you expressed your vews and your experience at ssb
was quiet impressing.
can i know how you got absentee batch yaar…
i 2 unable to attend it on date…….
what i hav to do now.
hello,
it was nice readin ur experience tat u had in ssb,now i got some rough idea abt ssb thanks for it. i am selected for ssb n me going to allahabad on 18th feb 2010,anyone out there attendin on d same day ?if yes do reply, are mobile phones allowed, my parents askin me to take for safety reasons . anyone pls clear my doubt
hey friend,
i am anita…just went to allahabad and i am seleted from there…yes u can take mobiles and if they ask u to deposit then do that…
regards
anita
i dont know hindi will tat be a drawback ?
hey dude…not a big deal if u dont know hindi…they r not checkign ur language profficiency…they want to know how good u r in communicatiing ur idea(s) if u have them…and Knowing english for sure will help….also u can take mobiles….take care to keep them switched off during the assesment time…which is goign to be from 6am to 12pm….
thanks lot… am prepairing to attend ssb this year.
your experiences are really valuable.this blog gives me full shedule of ssb interviews.
thank you.
rupali
my english communication is not so good,pls suggest me some ways to improve the same.
Hi Rupali …..
I suggest that u can improve ur english and it a necessity over there at the SSB centre ( at least it should not de-motivate or put ur confidence down if ur asked to speak in english…ur interview will for sure be in english)…i think u can improve it by speakign in ur workplace or college in english , try joining a BPO if u can and the best way to do this is help ur self—this can can be done by practising ‘lecturette’. Its got nothign much to do…. all u have to spend is 20mins daily, select any topic, keep a timer for 4mins, and speak on the topic (its best if u r facing the mirror because it improves ur style also), and try to record the speech….hear it and again speak on the same/different topic, record it again and hear it…when u hear ur voice or speech, u will understand on ur own where u r going wrong….and u will correct it on ur own… its not important that u have good grammar..because they r not testing ur grammar or technical details of ur language or speech…its ur confidence level…so practise this and u will definitely do well…take care
Siby
Is there any site where we can check the list to confirm if the SSB letters have been sent to candidates and who all have been shortlisted…..
Hello ARINDAM,
The way u expressed d 5 days experience is really awesome.
This is AMIT VERMA , recently when i received the call letter from East Selection Center ,ALLAHABAD, i was really not very much excited about joining NDA . But on 21st jan,2010, when i entered East Selection Center , ALLAHABAD, i experienced something which i had never explored b4 in my life , it was really a very awesome experience. Unfortunately , i was screened out from there on the very 1st day of our testing .
I still have a last attempt left with me and this time i m very passionate about qualifying NDA and joining the adventurous INDIAN ARMED FORCES.
Since u r much more experienced than me , so , i request u to suggest some more ideas about SSB INTERVIEW.
hey dude…good to know abt the fact that ur pretty inspired during the first attempt…no probs if u cudnt make it…but its always necessary to keep trying …never say die….keep it up dude and move on up….do feel free to as any quieries…wud definitely help u….u can contact me on avolcano85@gmail.com
hey siby thanks for the guidance and one more thing, i have power in eyes and wearing specs and my power is very low tat i can manage without specs….. is it a disadvantage for me or is it ok……… and guys anybody attending ssb on 18th feb 2010?can anyone explain me wat is verbal and non verbal apptitude test.
hey man,
This is jai here..
These 5 days wat u went through was awsum , i truly know this cuz i have attended twice and am giving ma third shot day after. i learnt a lot from ur blog , its like a third self experiece for me. i just hope i make it this time. anyways a BIG thx to u even if i make it or not…i wanna know whether u planning to give another shot???
coming to…………………………………allahbad for ssb ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..dont worried about ssb………………………………………

Brother you didn’t write about these “Here I somehow messed up and could not completely make him belief what I had in my mind. I also spoke something which I was not supposed to speak ” , if you write about it, would be more helpful for all readers.
One more thing when the Brig. asked that thing, i think he might be searching for an answer from you so that he can stop you there (Please don’t mind it’s my own feeling).
Hai .this is santosh .iwas selected for ssb. i have many doubts regarding it. firstly i am doing my B-Tech 1st year.is ssb better than B-Tech. what are the salaries for air force cadet.

May you rectify your flaws and be a Defence Officer.

Hi Vasu,
First of all big big congrats to you for clearing the SSB interview.
Do u hv any idea about the merit list. People say that merit list is only a formality. All of the recommended candidates are generally taken. I cleared the SSB interview for TGC entry last month. Now in tension regarding the merit list.
Regards,
Hi All,
I am BE(I.T) graduate who has just got recommended from Allahabad 11SSB for TGC-111. I have heard from many people that the number of seats for TGC entry is flexible and more candidates are generally accommodated in the merit list than what is usually mentioned in the advertisement for this entry provided they’ve cleared the SSB. Can anybody throw some light on this??
Thanks,
Pranav
Thanks for your blog on SSB Experience. It will help many more in future who are really intend to apply. I have apply for the same and likely to be scheduled during Aug. I am sure, your experience will really help me to survive there.

hello..
I was recommended from Allahabad.. Still waiting for the merit list.. We were 33 girls who had cleared screening and 16 of us got recommended, the NCOs and GCOs there were really surprised. The rickshaw valas who also give SSb tips were also shocked that in their 30 yrs they have never seen so many girls getting selected.. I was also in 11 SSB and we were also staying at Chushul… We wrote motivation captions on our medical chest numbers…
hey even my ssb was in allahabad but i din get recommended but i’ll try again
thanks sir, for sharing inspiring expereance

I’m hopeful for it.
HI SIR..
UR STORY HAS TOUCHED ME A LOT ONCE I WS ALSO A PART OF THAT…… THE SAME 11 SSB..SIR I WL WAIT FOR UR REPLY…..
Friend, I too had such an experience.I dont see this as a bad experience but a chance to understand myself well.
I had AFSB at mysore for 129 GDOC course.Out of 112 applied only 2 got selected.
On our last day our GTO told “If you are not recommended please understand that this is not your field”.
But none in our batch believed that.
Nothing is impossible.
I will never quit.
“If you are not recommended please understand that this is not your field.”
Thanks bro for these wonderful lines. Even I take solace in this.
Warm regards
Gopal
I DONT AGREE WITH YOU..SIR. I KNOW MANY FREINDS WHO HAV CLEARED IT IN THEIR 5TH OR 6TH ATTEMPTS.
@Lokendra Rathore
Yes, I too know guys who clear after a certain number of attempts. I did not intend to discourage anyone, nor suggest that if you do not clear in n-th attempt, then it’s over. Try, try again, with better preparation, learning from previous ones!
But sometimes, there are other factors in life that cannot be ignored. My heart still aches for Officer’s uniform, but I cannot do anything about it in this lifetime. I too need emotional comfort :). And more pragmatically, there is no point being a square peg in a round hole.
sir
i like ur whole exprnce …in ssb abd ..its ma 1 time in atndng ssb….i realy took advntge frm it….pls send ur no on 09259574863…..

plz reply…
bye..
cool dudee……………wat abt d ssb interviews after clearing 12th??…..is it d same ….//
The idea that you have given in this article is quite relevant. Although i have also appeared last time in 19th SSB Allahabad, but i could not make it like you. The points you have mentioned are worth noting but as per my view these wont work if the candidate appearing for SSB is not having his own perception to simplify and rationalize the circumstances and project his talent without a single blink of stress on his outcome before the assessors. At last , i can say the experience one have during the SSB is unique and every individual of our country must have visit if he/she is physically and mentally sound. Because it is the best thing to be a part of the Indian defense forces.

Dear Candidate
God bless you in every movement in your life.
It is fact the selection system of the SSB that the best way is, to “stay consistent, positive, honest and be natural bears the testimony to this fact” Army is neither a job or a profession but it is a way of life.
Thanks
Good Evening Sir
i am fully inspired and committed for serving my country directly from engineering life. I am balanced student from pre nursery. So i was not able to clear NDA and CDS like exam. Second thing is that i am doing my job in private sector and i think you are very well known about this so pressure is here. So my target is ruined by this. Now i want to come back and committed to clear SSB like yours. Pl guide me. Need your help. Looking your positive response.
Hello ppl……I got SSB allahabad for UES-20(FY) wish me luck…..any1 joining me
hi
sir i inspired a lot by your wonderful job of those 5 days.
how beautiful manner you explained GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!
i also want to be a part of this services and do something for India.
all the best sir
good luck
Hi, really dis xperience wil definitely serve as a guide . wil keep dis do’s n donts in mind .. thnx a lot brother..i wil also b joinin UES-20(FY )… jst wish me luck 🙂
@shubhasish All the best dude…..Hey We’re Gonna B buddies……Same here UES-20 FY @ allahabad….plz inform me the Dates if u get the call letter…..And Ill do the same….coz U cant Depend on Indian postal system
“Allahabad had its own reputation to stand for”
Although i was rejected by the Allahabad board (got recommended later in Bhopal), i would have to point this statement out as complete nonsense, all boards are indeed equal and the selection is really based upon the individual’s performance.
So anyone going to Allahabad who stumbles upon this page, please do not be apprehensive.
Yeah!Thats the Spirit……The “Reputation” stuff doesnt Scare Us anymore………its the Substance that matters than the Rumors…….
Hi buddy,how are you doing there????????? well first of all many congratulations to you for sharing your experience with us. well friend as far as experience is concern i am also a vertern in this field. i am five times ssb out in a row. first four of which are screen outs. recently i was confernece out from 14th ssb allahabad. i am again selected for the ota in my 6th successive time. well i have a strong desire to join the indian army with pride and dignity. i am very optimistic about my chances even now, i think every chance i an oppornuity to you to get selected for the armed forces. i have a strong faith in our service personnel and i think that they are the best. well i am too planning to write my success story that how i went to the fifth round of this expedition despite being failed in four previous occasions, but i am looking to first clear it and then i will right my success story. well my only suggestion to all the brave men and women of my country is that whatever the situation may be never give up hope and think beyond boundaries…… satyamav jayate…… india is great and so are its people……….so people speak aloud with me jai hind…….. best of luck for all you guys there.. vande matram…… join me on chpundir1987@orkutmail.com for further information and support if any required for you patriotic people…..
sorry guys there are a lot of spellings mistakes in my previous written work, that is because i hade poured some tea accidently on my keaboard and now it is too testing me here. well friends success has no fix reasons and only hard work and self confidence can take you there where you want to land, and ofcourse a faire amount of luck is also needed if you you are looking other side of the picture…………jai hind again and those who want to know how i made it to the conference in my fifth successive chance join me on orkut and i will tell you my untold story of struggle and learning……….

REST U CAN REFER TO SIR ARINDAM ARTICLE
thanks sir i completely stuied your article .
and i have lots of experience from u .
i will face the ssb in augst (approx). so give me some idea to face the interview
Hiii,
arindam nice artical u have wrote, here i want to know that after how many days the absentee batch conducted,
because of some resion i missed the date, and they people are not answered it properly, what i shoud do?
This is a complete description of the entire five days of stay at SSB and I like the way you have given the detail account of every day and everything we do at SSB. I had been to the Bhopal SSB during the same time which you have mentioned but long back in 2001. I underwent all this and was finally selected for the armed forces but when it came to medical examination they happened to find some fault with my eyes maybe severe case of colorblindness and was rejected. But the 5 days which we spent after the SSB was over gave us the real taste of Army life as there were no more batches for SSB interviews and we 5 were the only candidates in the entire SSB. We were given officers treatment.
But the worst part of it was when I went to appeal medical board at Delhi Base hospital.
The clerk with the file gives me three options.
Arrange for a Jack (support)
Money
Luck
I chose Luck which I ran out of at that very moment and was rejected. I was having another set of appeal which I did not feel like availing as I could understand that Army also needs people who can bribe. I lost entire craze for army that very second and forgot entirely about joining armed forces. That was the most disappointing day of my life, not because I was not selected but because a belief about armed forces not being corrupt was broken that day which was the horrible reality I had to face.
Good Luck next time.. It is their loss… I attended I think 4-5 times… 2 times NDA and 2 times CDS(If my memory serves me right) . They are dismissing ready and willing leaders in place of corrupt and gutless leaders. On good part of it.. you wont have Shahid in front of your name when nobody cares… cheers
hello friend:
i gave the ssb in allahbad on 21 january .
on the first day :we were gathered at the railway station.and around 1pm ssb representer were came .and they took us in the camp and we reached in tha camp by military bus.its very engetics to you if you sit in military bus.this thing /time make you so pride that you go to for indian army officer.well we reached at the camp arround 2.15 pm because it is very near to the camp.after reaching there we alloted the ssb stations .so all friends who make there are sepreated .so there is no prblem all .after geeting the ssb stations we were report there .its very difficult to all the candidates because all the candiadtes are taken there lunch.and its very tuff for me because i am a lecture by profeesion. so lazyness in my nature .but well

um….me to thinking to attend absentee batch on 27 may 2011,
Sir, I have been selected for SSB TES 25(Army) at Allahabad. My primary date of reporting is 17 May 11 and secondary date of reporting is 07 May 11. Kindly help me whether i can appear on secondary date of reporting. Any communication with SSB centre is required or not.
Thanks.
yours sincerely,
Piyush Mishra
well sir I read ur article 2 times and almost 50 comments and what I observed that u have a very good communication skill and know how 2 write a good story.
Before I pinpoint few things in ur true story ,I sympathize with with u that u had gone 2 Allahabad for SSB that too in Absentee Batch.
1.During screening ,story writing which u wrote was good and u got only selected for what u had done/said during group discussion n how u proved ur point.Even if u had saw a jeep and a lady mechanic and explained to the group that why u think so and u r in.
That is why u were in those 8.
2.On 2nd day,about story writing u wrote that that on every story u started with gloomy past n end with bright or happy ending.But every story can’t end with happy ending or in same flow.
3.U always had complained about biting cold n I agree with that but u might have spilled this to one of the testing officer adding negatives to ur profile.
4.About interview,
u said, u hadn’t idea that one more man is in the room n u didn’t noticed??
u said ,u hadn’t answered correctly about army rank structures and command and general knowledge like Naxalism….
u said,U didn’t know about ur boss n bluffed n later messed….
5.And about outdoor task, u did almost pretty well…
actually everyone thinks that their outdoor task was best or very good.
6.As u r from IT field and went their when IT was booming and u wanted to join defense u had to be prepared with a very strong and firm point for which n why u want to join??
Am sorry to write all these things , but I had written for all those who go to SSB and enjoy 5 days and consider it as their best 5 days n come back with happy memories on 5th days {except few} and say they had given their best .
But they do not actually introspect what really they had done wrong……..
{see my next comment for what to do or not to do during SSB}
And finally I was too a flop during my first 2 attempts but I overcame it with a win.:)
Now for all those who always cry that they don’t know what will they face during SSB and flood blogs with “help,please help” comments
1.first day,ur GD on story writing in most important ,u just have to make sure that what u saw in picture u have to give a firm explanation to whole group n try to influence them.
Ur verbal n non verbal doesn’t matter that much u just have to have normal intelligence for it , just make sure u answer all even if u don’t know thw wright answer..
2.Before going for discussion ,discuss with ur frns what they wrote n why and tell teir story n try to influence them from their only.
N I give u in written
“U U will clear the first day”
Now the most tricky part of next 4 days—–
1.For story writing u just have to have a rough mind set up that how ur story will start and end while seeing picture.Once the light is switched on u start writing n flow of ideas will come along n u will complete a good story in the end.
Make sure ur handwriting is good as it makes to ur good point .If u doesn’t have that much good handwriting as I have just buy a four line ruled notebook n start practising in it n u”ll see ur hanwriting has how much changed in few days..:)
2.For WAT , refer any book from market on SSB {Arihant pub.}
and note down words in a separate notebook and just write it with 2 line space and keep it like that for 5 days.
After five days open it set a stopwatch take a mock test in 250 seconds of 50 words and again after a break repeat for net 25.
Finally ,u urself evaluate what u had written and what if I had written something or thought something good or positive from this word.Write that in the second line left and
and mug it up as it will improve ur efficiency…
3.Situation reaction test is real test of ur real character n u have to be very very fast in handwriting to score maximum.
Please anwer what u actually could do , don’t become RAJNIKANTH.If u want 2 hear some jokes after xm ask ur frns what they had written ,it will provide real amusement..
4.Next “about urself” , do ur homework I would say.
5.Follow instructor commands as “God instructions” for 3-4 hrs atleast {waise to hum apni jindagi me kabhi follow nahi karte’} because they can’t help u to get recommended but they can make sure that u don’t cross the final hurdle.Baaki to aap log khud hee samajhdaar ho yaar.
6.Do how much fun u could do but never cross ur limit or get highlighted.
7.Now,about outdoor task
-During GD make sure that u r in first 2 to enter the discussion ,if u were not then make sure that what u r going to say hadn’t been said earlier and present u points with firm explanation in short n precise.
-While group task ,make sure that u try to go from center and motivate ur group n tell them why should they follow this path…
-While group planning ,listen very carefully n make a mental impression like a TV soap and u”ll come out with best solution.Make sure u r able to explain ur group why this task should be done first and why this much men.
-Snake race is about ur enthusiasm n team work spirit, they give u time penalty 2 see ur retaliating attitude towards sniors{just smile n accept penalty ,never dicuss or make a point to others that who had done it?}
-Command task comes according 2 ur earlier performance means earlier good performance means hard command task.Don’t get hop out by seeing someting odd just make sure that u r giving ur 100% to move that stone even it’s
“I-M-possible”.Seeing ur effort officer may give u a hint or a pass to crossover n see u cleared it….:)
-Half group task and Final group task r more of specific selection type where they concentrate on few but don’ lose hope if u had’t done any one thing good .Try 2 give ur best
Who knows it will click and u”ll have the permission for wearing uniform
….
about Interview I”ll give u my experience n tips next time I come onl9
Before saying good bye what I want 2 say to those repeaters that once u come out of SSB ur mind start rewinding that what u actually had done wrong n if if it’s not doing then make him do it n u”ll see that all mistakes will come in front of u.
One more tip- always make a frn who is in ur group n feels free to speak truth because that frn only will tell u what u had done wrong unknowingly
Time 2 say good bye
or else after ten min.s I will be writing about my tragedy at home for sitting on net for 5 hrs
Bye frns…………………………………………………
coming mom……………………………………………………

hi,
i also had my ssb interview in 34 SSB Allahabad board. It was a wonderful stay at Allahabad Cantt. It was yesterday (5 oct 2011) when i was conferenced out. I was in NDA absentee batch. out of 16 who were screened in only 1 was selected. I was expecting a bit because my conference with 8-10 other officers went on for 15-20 mins where they kept firing situations at me. Hard Luck…… I was not selected.
Whatever it may be “If you have not given SSB interview, you have not given any Interview”.
Thank you

Hi! this is Subrat Tiwari,I just got my call letter for SSB to be held at Allahabad.I was very anxious to know about what happens there in ssb tests.I read a lot on internet about the types of tests and tips to be kept in mind,but i could not come to a situation so that i could make any strategy for this great challenge.As a result i was quite nervous and started thinking that this is going to be really tough for me atleast.
But after reading your blog I am now able to make an overview about ssb.I am now a bit releved of pressure.Your experence is going to help many guys including me who are going to face ssb for the first time.As I am an engineer too,it was really great to hear in words of an engineer…………….

by this information i think i will be some prepare for SSB thank you sir…
Namaste sir,

U r very much eligible if u r in class 12 and appearing for the board. dont wory juxt apply.
After reading your article i think that worst part of your ssb intervw is your interview with brigadier as u are unable to give the ans … Of simple gk.best of luck for next time.
sir
i am going to attend the interview at coimbtore for navy. your experience is really valuable for people like us who are going to attend for the first time.
hi!
It was fun to have your experience shared.I am having my SSB interview in the month of january 2012 for the first time.I wish good luck to u for your future. Please let me know about the do’s and dont’s for the interview.
Thank you
Hi Arindam bhai,
First of all thanks for sharing your experiences with us. It is surely a nice guide for us who prepare for the SSB. Is SSB same for Army and Navy? Hope so. I am having the latter on February 6, 2012, and I expect I will have another for Air Force soon. So your blog will be a good one to start my preparations with…….
Throughout the write up, I was imagining myself in the SSB in your place. I am a final year B-tech student from Mechanical Engg, who got placed in Infosys, and am trying to find a job through which I can serve my country and myself. The commission in Navy will help me in both this; by getting an opportunity to serve the navy I will get a chance to serve this great nation. Being in the Armed Forces I will be able to nurture skills and discipline which will help me to develop as an individual. Most of all, mine will be transformation from a boy to a man. From a boy who fears water to a man who fears nothing.
If I got posted in the Indian Navy, I will be really thankful to you…………….
Same exp here also buddy,,,,,, the fate was already decided by the brigadier & officers, I attended on 2010& 2011 in both Bhopal & Allahabad, but bad luck…..
😦
sure to say that they were the greatest experience I had ever …….. The discipline, the conference round ,the scareness of getting removd from the cnf round…. all were/ oops sorry are awesome,……
Hey Arindam,
This is Vinay and i happen to be from Hyderabad. I just read your blog and it was just very refreshing. I would say refreshing for two reasons, one being that I have been to the Allahabad selections about the same time you were there and also the thoughts i had during my stay in Allahabad. I was not selected for the 5 days, but definitely experienced the chill in the spine moments. ALl said and done it was a very Pleasant experience reading your Blog. Thank You
Vinay

Respected,
Myself Deeshith Jain P, currently working as wid resource engineer at Enercon India Ltd. It was my dream from my childhood to contribute something to my nation, wheather it may be small or big. Presently i have got very good oppurtunity at my organisation to contribute my technical knowledge for development of wind farms & inturn to generate power, which can be feed to villages.
I had a drream of joining Army, to lead high profile life & also to ake myy career much more better. I had attended SSB interview on Apr-2011, Batch: CUES, my chest number was 26, i could’nt get into Armed forces because of some minor problems. Now i have corrected all my feedbacks & perfectly concentrated on my failures & corrected it. I am ready to join Armed forces through SSB. I have decided my career as Army Men.
Thank you

i had also been to 11 ssb in mar 12 n our complete batch of 30 candidates was washed out. i think they enjoy doing so with our future…
Hello sir
I am vijendra kumar going to attend SSB in Allahabad.This is my first chance attending a armed force SSB i am also Engineering Graduate From Electrical side. after reading your experience really i am glade but also really socked even done everything almost well u didn.t select . ok but out of this i am so nervous that i am nothing before you i think so i am in doubt should i attend this SSB or Not really sir 1st i am not gud communication skill and not done anything gud before this.
hi vijendra kumar….see communication skills are really important when u appear for ssb….but if u are comfortable in hindi…then put your points/views in hindi….what matters here is your opinion not the language you speak…be polite…and speak clearly…as far as your PI is concerned ….plzz…try to communicate in english….or make it hindi-english…..show them you want to improve…and you will……good luck…..
VINOD ARYA……..for fresher’s (1st attempt..) don worry …..when i gave mine…. i had no experience what so ever about screening…nd group discussion….see…when discussion starts…it is said “be the one to speak first” and it is a lie…. believe me…..speak clear…..group should consider your point when you speak….pick up those point on which u think u can get a group motion….help someone in need…there will be a point when the officer present will tell u to give chance to other people….then be the one who offer’s the chance to other…if a guy is not speaking at all tell him to put his point….make him speak….they look for officer’s like qualities…and give them that ….best of luck
hai this is chaitanya… Mr. Arindam, knowingly or not u created the best blog about experiences in the SSB. I read your blog just now and got the big picture clearly I am going to attend the interview on the coming wednesday at banglore. I am going to get your experiences article printed out. The weird thing is that I understood the process this lately. But, that’s okay better late than never. Well, if you give an attempt again all the best…
Hi I m Manindra. I had posted a comment few years back before I was about to go for SSB.
Though I was not successful but I wish all candidates a very good luck.

hello sir!
I cleared my nda ssb in 2009 from 19ssb Allahabad and joined nda in jan 2010. i wanted to join as air force cadet but i got navy as my right eye was 6/9. i was physically very weak and i didn’t get what i wanted. so i decided to quit. after 12 days i left NDA. i’m planning to write CDSE next year and i’m sure that i’ll clear the written exam. I want to know if quitting NDA in 2010 because of physical weakness will have a negative impact on my ssb in 2013?
sir, do you think that i’ll be seen more like a quitter and this can have a negative impact? also, i wasted 1 year of my career because i withdrew from an engineering college to go to NDA. after i came back, i had to again write an entrance test. but i got a better college and branch this time. sir, do u think this will have a negative impact on my ssb? please do reply sir. thank you!
