Follow your Passion wali job

क्या वाकई में UPTU से इंजीनियरिंग करके Follow your Passion वाली नौकरी मिल सकती है।
"मैं कंप्यूटर साइंस का छात्र हू लेकिन मुझे coding में कोई interest नहीं है, क्या मै कुछ और कर सकता हू जैसे journalism या फोटोग्राफी। "
"UPTU में नौकरी तो लगती नहीं है, उसपे तुम्हे मनचाही नौकरी चाहिए, औकात में सोचो"
"GATE या CAT ही रास्ता है, और कोई चारा नहीं है, Core ब्रांच में तो कोई स्कोप ही नहीं है और Bank PO वाली अपनी Apti नहीं है"
"Final ईयर में आ गए और पता ही नहीं है की अपना passion किधर है"
लम्बी सांस लो, तीन बार, एक गिलास पानी पियो, खिड़की से बाहर देखो, हवा को महसूस करो और भरोसा रखो, भगवान से ज्यादा खुद पे क्यूंकि तुम पहले नहीं हो ये महसूस करने वाले और न आखिरी होगे, पीछे पलट के देखो, कितना रस्ता चल आये हो, कहाँ थे और यहाँ तक कैसे आये, सोच के देखो, सब कुछ unplanned ही था ना, फिर planning किस बात की कर रहे हो। जब कोई प्लान कभी नहीं चला तो आगे भी mostly नहीं चलेगा। प्लानिंग destination की करनी ही नहीं है, planning करनी है journey की, मंजिल जो भी हो, journey में struggle पक्का है, planning struggle की करनी है, प्लानिंग उन skill sets की करनी है जो journey में तुम्हे टूटने से बचाएंगे, यकीन मानो इंजीनियरिंग का पढ़ा कुछ काम नहीं आना है लेकिन इंजीनियरिंग में सीखी प्रेशर handling capability , team work , leadership, तुम्हारी नयी चीज़ जल्दी सीखने की quality , mail लिखना, Excel में चार्ट बनाने की छमता, अंग्रेजी भाषा में command, इंजीनियर की तरह problem solving attitude,चमचागिरी और गलत चीज़ें देखकर ethical होने की छमता ये सब काम आएगा।
जब इंजीनियरिंग में होंगे तो सोचोगे की बस कहीं नौकरी लग जाए, बाद में समझोगे की मनचाही नौकरी कितनी ज़रूरी है। नौकरी और मनचाही नौकरी में शायद तीन चार साल निकल गए होंगे, शायद तब भी नहीं समझा होगा की तुम किस चीज़ में वाकई passionate हो लेकिन ये समझ गए होंगे की किस्मे एकदम ही नहीं हो। ये पहला कदम होगा सही दिशा में। धक्के बहुत मिलेंगे, NIT और IIT वालों के सामने बेइज़्ज़ती भी होगी जब उन्हें precedence दी जाएगी, फिर आदत पड़ जाएगी और पता नहीं चलेगा की कब फ़र्क़ पड़ना बंद हो जाएगा। फिर एक दिन NIT और IIT वाले तुम्हे रिपोर्ट करेंगे और फिर भी तुम्हे फ़र्क़ नहीं पड़ेगा क्यूंकि एक लेवल के बाद emotion भी emotionless हो जाते हैं। ये वो समय होगा जब पैकेज के लिए काम नहीं करोगे, कुछ और मिलना चाहिए, ऐसी सोच होगी, भले दो पैसे कम मिले। मन करेगा सब कुछ छोड़ के अपने गाँव में गरीब बच्चों को पढ़ाऊँ, अपनी ज़रूरतें तो ज्यादा कभी थी ही नहीं, रह लेंगे लेकिन वो होम लोन और कार लोन वापिस जाने नहीं देंगे ।
ऑफिस में अपनी डेस्क से बाहर देखते हुए उस कबूतर को देखोगे जो हमेशा तुम्हारी खिड़की में ही बैठता है और सुट्टा मारते हुए सोचोगे की इसके पास पंख है, ये उड़ के कहीं भी जा सकता है लेकिन जाता क्यों नहीं और फिर सिगरेट बुझाते हुए मुस्कुराते हुए सोचोगे की ये बात तो तुमपे भी लागू होती है और वापिस सीट पे आके अपना कोड लिखने बैठोगे, लग जाओगे appraisal, deadline, onsite, जॉब switch की इस rat race में, एक दिन अपने कॉलेज के alumni group से मेल आएगा की कॉलेज में बुलाया है, Guest Lecture में बच्चों को मोटीवेट करने और वहां जा के तुम भी उन्हें 'Follow your Passion ' बोल के आओगे और उस दिन खूब हंसोगे और इतना हँसोगे की रोने लगोगे अपने इंजीनियरिंग के दोस्त से बात करते करते।
रणबीर कपूर की फिल्मे देखते हुए सोचोगे की follow your पैशन शायद एक myth है लेकिन तुम्हारे क्लास का एक लड़का जो पढ़ने में ठीक ठाक था आज एक बड़े ऑनलाइन न्यूज़ वेबसाइट में क्रिकेट और फिल्म review करता है उसको देख के एक बार को ख्याल आएगा की शायद वो सब myth नहीं था बस एक कदम उठाना था जिसकी शायद हिम्मत नहीं जुटा पाया मै।
तब समझोगे की UPTU का उस Passion वालीं नौकरी से तो कोई लेना देना कभी था ही नहीं , उसका लेना देना सिर्फ तुमसे है।

These are the most comman mistake first-time entrepreneurs


1. Keeping your idea secret.
This is one of the most stupid misconceptions about startup ideas (If I tell it to someone they'll steal it and make millions of it) Reality is that every loser has a business idea with a potential but most are not capable to execute it. And people who are able to execute ideas have plenty of their own. Of course, it's the execution not the idea - facebook came after friendster and myspace and google came after plenty of search engines.

2. Trying to build a product for everyone.
He who tries to please everybody, pleases nobody.

3. Lack of focus.
All entrepreneurs are cursed with having too many ideas that are too tempting not to be executed. The point is to be able to put everything else aside and focus on one with best timing and most potential. Jack Dorsey mentioned somwhere that he had his Twitter idea almost a decade before he started it and put it in shelf - which is his way of clearing distractions.

4. Ignoring cash-flow.
As already mentioned in many answers confusing cash-flow or ignoring it is surest way to fail.

5. Quitting too early + not failing soon enough.
Quitting and failing are 2 different things. Failing soon is about not wasting time (or falling in love) with features once you have enough evidence they aren't going to make profit - you should seek that evidence all the time. Quitting on another hand is giving up to circumstances while knowing that what you are doing can work and will make you happy.

6. Wasting time on what competition does.
I once got across a Tweet saying: "If you spend all your time looking at your competition your product will end up looking like competitions ass."

7. Picking the wrong co-founder and not having a shareholder's agreement in place.
Talking or wishing and doing are two separate things, when you are motivated and excited everyone feels like a winner. All people tend to overestimate themselves, however once it comes to action many back off or find reasons and excuses to go for the easy and safe route. Making sure you aren't giving equity to a "co-founder" before you get a proof is what shareholder's agreements are made for.

8. Issuing equity too early.
Many people you hire early on may only have a half-hearted commitment and ambitions on their own. Once I was going to offer small part of equity to an advisor and I had a chat about it with one experienced partner in a law firm. He told me:

"Why would you need an advisor who only does it for equity? Get people who are excited about your product and want to help out because of that excitement and belief in it, then after a year or more you can talk about equity."

Same thing with stock options, the ideal time frame should be around 5 years, if you give it to someone after 1 year of working they can simply walk away and take a free ride while you're working your ass off increasing the value of their stake.

9. Too many features - over complicating.
Everybody knows why Apple was so successful. Here's a quote from Albert Einstein that sums it up nicely:

"Any darn fool can make something complex it takes a genius to make something simple."
It's the simplicity not complexity that sells (and makes it hard to build)

10. Not seeking or using customer feedback.
"Well they may not tell you what you should build but they can surely tell what's wrong" - as Bill Gates believes.

Not Recommended? Here Is What To Do After That

Rejections hurt, especially when it from something you dream about, work hard for, they hurt even more when it is the nth time that you are getting rejected. Every candidate who suffers rejection in SSB, can very well relate to the sadness which comes after it. The candidates who do not get a chance to hear their chest numbers in those lucky to be officer list, know that the next few days are going to be difficult. But it is not the end of the world, though it is end of one SSB and to you both seem like same thing at that time. Here’s is to what should follow after getting rejected from SSB:


There is no point cribbing about the selection system, it is not going to change, so you need to stop doing that first. Stop being critical about the selection system.

Yes that candidate who got selected did not deserve it, but still got through, and see here you are, having all the qualities oozing out still not recommended. But you can’t do anything about it, again stop comparing and looking critically as to who got selected.

No board is a rejection board. They want you as much as you want that job. Keep the myths away. Many people will tell you many things, need not believe everything.

Repeaters have a hard chance, no, absolutely not. If you have chances ahead it is never the end, you can try with better preparation every time again.

The earlier you stop thinking about your previous SSB, the better. Old bad things need to go for new good things to come, but they should go only after leaving the lesson. So draw the lesson out of your attempt.

See the positives, ignore the negatives. See the good things you learnt after going to SSB (for me it was learning to play pool), which you would have not learned otherwise, it’ll fill you with good thoughts.

Be happy for the candidates who got selected, learn positive things from them, congratulate them from heart. If you learn to be happy for others you reach an super level of awesomeness!

Sit down, analyze from day one, to the last day, write down the questions asked, your answers, it’ll help you later to understand what went wrong. Since everything is fresh you can remember now, but will be difficult later.

Note down all the important dates, for all the forms you need to apply for. Keep on applying for the new entries whichever comes up next. Never lose hope. Never give up, the quality of a true officer.

Start preparing for your next SSB. Seek for an expert help, if you feel it is needed. Be very wise before choosing any coaching. So do all the groundwork needed for preparation.

Falling down is easy, getting up is not. You need to really get up and put in all your efforts so that you can achieve your dream goal.

SSB Tips

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR SSB 

OVERALL TIPS 

  1. ENGLISH IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE DEFENSE SERVICES & IS IMPORTANT, NOT ONLY FOR SSB, BUT PROFESSIONAL ADVANCEMENT IN ANY FIELD.

  2. GOOD GENERAL KNOWLEDGE, GOOD EXPRESSION, A FRIENDLY & HELPFUL NATURE WILL HELP A CANDIDATE GET SELECTED IN SSB & ELSEWHERE.

  3. IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE SPEAKING IN ENGLISH, SPEAK FREELY IN HINDI OR HINGLISH. EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IS THE NEED, NOT ENGLISH LANGUAGE. GENERALLY THE PROBLEM IS LACK OF SELF CONFIDENCE INDUCED BY LACK OF FLUENCY IN ENGLISH. 

     
    GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR SSB

    APPROACH TO SSB

    Group behavior starts as soon as you meet others at the SSB Centre.

     Candidates assess each other for their competence, as well as sociability. This process is unrelated to the formal assessment, but influences it.

    Please go for the SSB with the conviction of being selected, without any self doubts. This will positively affect your personality & influence others accordingly.

    Do not consider others as rivals, who have to be beaten, for you to be selected. Approach with a philosophy: “let us all perform well, & along with others, I should also get selected”. The usual philosophy prevailing in the world, “I should get selected at the expense of others” is unsuited for selection in SSB.

    Having good general knowledge, expression & a friendly nature positively impacts your social rating by peers, & will positively impact your chances of selection as well. It will have an impact on the tests as well. E.g In the group, before the tests, you start discussing some current affairs topic. Most of the group will have superficial knowledge, based on TV headlines news or news paper headlines. One or two may have deeper analytical knowledge based on their having read editorials on the topic. Naturally these candidates will be more respected by others.

    5 DAYS SSB SCHEDULE 

     

    DAY 1 (REPORTING DAY)

    As per the call letter, usually the reporting time is in the afternoon& place is Movement Control Office (MCO), located at the Railway Station. You will not find it difficult as there will be many other candidates who will be scheduled to report on the same day, & you are likely to find some of them.

    For some entries reporting day and Screening day are same, so please follow your call letters for correct information. In such case reporting time is likely to be early morning, like 0700 hours.

    On reporting day you are given a detailed brief about the tests & instructions & timings for various things. PIQ (Personal Information Questionnaire) forms are to be filled (similar to the one which I get filled).

    DAY 2. STAGE 1 TESTING OR SCREENING

    Screening is the process designed to select potential candidates, from all those who have reported for the particular entry, for Stage 2 of testing, or complete SSB process. It comprises the following:

    OFFICER’S INTELLIGENCE RATING (OIR) TEST

    It is similar to the intelligence tests of reasoning (verbal & non-verbal) given in various competitive examinations preparatory books & magazines. Reasoning ability, as well as speed of reasoning is important. It is advisable to practice these to get a good score.

    SCREENING TEST

    PICTURE PERCEPTION & DESCRIPTION TEST (PPDT)

    Requirement

    It involves two aspects- first is writing a story, & second is a discussion on the story.

    You will be shown a black & white, hazy picture for 30 secs.

    You are required to write some particulars in the available box in the answer sheet, which includes No of Characters, their Age, Sex & Mood.

    You have to identify the main character & build the story around him/her. It is convenient to name the character (helps in discussion stage).

    You are required to describe what the scene in the picture depicts (what is going on).

    You have to visualize & write, what led to the present scene (what happened in the past).

    You have to foresee the future & write it. (What will happen in the future).

    The entire story has to be written in about 3 mins & submitted.

    Tips for Story Writing

    Avoid

    Pre-prepared Story. Some coached candidates (generally ACC & SCO entries), come with a misconception that the time is too less to make a story & hence come with a pre-prepared story & fit it there. Often the main character in such stories is narrated as a young man who joins the Defence Services & also gets a decoration! There is nothing in the picture to suggest any of these things. There are several such “positive” coaching academy type stories which can be easily found out by the assessors. Such stories have an adverse impact on the clearance of the Stage 1 by the subject candidate.

    Stories Displaying Wrong Interpretation of Positive Thinking. Experience shows that quite a few coached candidates are over enthusiastic about “positive thinking” & display it in an unnatural manner in their stories.  E.g: In an obviously tragic scene such candidates will state that the mood of the main character is positive. Such stories can be easily found out & have an adverse impact on the clearance of the Stage 1 by the subject candidate.

    Abide

    Write a natural & realistic story that comes to your mind on seeing the picture. The moods, etc of characters should be stated as observed.

    POSITIVE THINKING MEANS THAT EVEN IF THE PICTURE SHOWS SOMETHING ADVERSE, OR TRAGIC, THE CANDIDATE FORESEES THAT IN THE FUTURE THINGS WILL BECOME ALL RIGHT, WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER PLAYING A PROACTIVE PART IN THE SAME.

    THE MAIN CHARACTER SHOULD BE PROACTIVE & DO SOMETHING FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE EXISTING SITUATION.

    Discussion Requirement

    Candidates are organized in groups of 14-15 for group discussion. Each candidate is required to narrate his story by turn. After everyone has narrated his/her story the group is required to discuss the same & arrive at a consensus story. The group is required to nominate a leader who has to narrate the story on behalf of the entire group.

    Tips for Discussion:

    • Narrate your story confidently in a clear voice in about one minute.

  4. Remain confident about being selected, remain relaxed & do not feel pressurized to force your views on others, in the fear that others will dominate you.

  5. Never look at the assessors while narrating the story, or during the discussion.

  6. Listen to the speakers attentively.

  7. Be polite, give your ideas & views only, & do not argue with others.

  8. IN CASE THE ENTIRE GROUP IS SHOUTING, AS HAPPENS IN SOME REPEATER GROUPS, DO NOT TRY TO OUT SHOUT OTHERS, BUT AWAIT YOUR TURN PATIENTLY.

  9. Do not try to dominate the discussion by speaking more. The quality of your views is more important than how much you speak.

  10. Do not repeat your views.

  11. Help the weak members to talk.

  12. If the story of the majority of the group is similar to yours, it is easy to contribute to the discussion.

  13. In case your story is different from the entire group, it is sensible to change your views & help the group in forming a consensus story, rather than trying to guide the group towards your perspective.

    Results of Screening:  After the completion of PPDT, you will get a break of 2-3 hours. Screening results will be declared after it. Selected candidates are allotted with new chest numbers. Rest of the candidates gets their TA and dropped backed to the railway station.

     

    DAY 3 STAGE-2 OF TESTING

    PSYCHOLOGY TESTS IN SSB

    Understanding Psychology Tests in SSB

    Personality assessment conducted in SSBs is based on the science of Psychology. Psychology is not an absolute science, unlike the physical sciences known to us. It implies that there are not always absolute & definite yes, or no answers to problems, or situations.

    The battery of psychology tests conducted in SSB is based on Projective techniques.

      Projective techniques work on the established fact that when we describe ambiguous stimuli, we actually describe ourselves, & reveal our personalities, the conscious part (of which we are well aware) & even the unconscious part (of which we are unaware)! The unconscious part of the brain is assessed by some as being 9/10th part & conscious only 1/10th part.

    In Projective techniques, a person is shown ambiguous stimuli (such as words, situations or pictures) and asked to interpret them in some way. Such stimuli allow relative freedom in projecting one’s own interests and feelings into them, reacting in any way that seems appropriate. Projective techniques are believed to be sensitive to unconscious dimensions of personality. Defense mechanisms, latent impulses, and anxieties can be inferred from data gathered from projective techniques by expert psychologists. Assessment by expert psychologists is an art & not a science.

    Assessment of an individual is done based on the entire written tests & not piece meal, like separate assessment of WAT, TAT & SRT.  Personality of an individual is one whole, the various inputs help to construct it.

    HOW DOES IT AFFECT CANDIDATES?

    PLEASE DO NOT WASTE UNNECESSARY TIME TO PRACTICE ALL THESE TESTS. WORK TO GENUINELY IMPROVE YOUR PERSONALITY, LEAVE THE ASSESSMENT TO THE EXPERTS!

    Following  Psychology tests are  conducted:

        Thematic Apperception Test [TAT]

        Word Association Test [WAT]

        Situation Reaction Test [SRT]

        Self Description Test [SD]

    TAT

        You will be shown 11 black & white pictures in which the last picture is a blank slide. Each picture will come just for 30 seconds and then disappear, after that you will get 4 minutes to write the story based on that picture. After 4 mins another picture will come for 30 seconds and same process will be followed till last slide {blank slide}. The tips for TAT are the same as for the story of PPDT. Go prepared with the story for the blank slide.

    WAT

        You will be shown 60 words back to back; each word will remain on the screen for 15secs. In 15secs you are required to write a sentence which comes to your mind first after reading that word. Likewise you have to write 60 sentences continuously without any pause in between.

    Tips:

    It is not possible to go prepared with 60 sentences, as some coached candidates try to do & in fact succeed in writing quite a few such sentences. This does not help, because only the spontaneous response is consistent with the personality of the candidate. The psychologist analyses the complete responses to construct a holistic & consistent personality of the individual. Any prepared response will be inconsistent with the complete battery of answers & hence will get ignored.

        SRT

    You will get a booklet with 60 situations written on it. You are required to write your responses based on those 60 situations. Time allotted will be 30 mins.

    Tips: Answer spontaneously. The main character in the situations should be a leader, who should try to resolve the problems proactively for the betterment of everyone & not wait for things to happen.

        SD

    You are required to write opinion about you from your parents, friends, teachers & yourself, and things which you would like to develop in the future. Time allotted will be 15 mins.

    Tips: You should go prepared. Write the truth. Opinions of others, as well as yourself about you are basically a brief about your strong & weak points. The strong points should be more than the weak points. In case the reverse is true, it shows that you have not taken enough action to improve yourself, despite being aware of your weaknesses.

    OVERALL TIPS FOR PSYCHOLOGY TESTS

    THINK FAST; WRITE FAST, LEGIBLY & IN CORRECT SEQUENCE.

    IT IS NOT MANDATORY TO COMPLETE EVERYTHING, BUT THE CANDIDATE WHO CAN COMPLETE EVERYTHING DEFINITELY THINKS FASTER & HAS BETTER MENTAL STAMINA THAN THE ONE WHO DOES NOT.

    DAYS 4 & 5: GTO TESTS

    GTO tests are a series of outdoor tests, designed to judge your qualities during group performance. Remember most of the tasks in this series are group tasks. You are required to support the group with the best of your abilities and not to compete with them in any manner.

    SERIES OF TESTS:

        GD:

    Discussion is on two topics, one is a debatable topic from current affairs & the other is on a social issue.

    Tips: Are same as for PPDT discussion.

    GPE: GROUP PLANNING EXERCISE

    It is an important test in the GTO series. A situation is given to you. It is supported by a map. Invariably a group of persons has to go from one place to another, in a limited time & accomplish an important task. In between problems are confronted which need to be resolved, & in case a problem is unimportant & resolution will prevent  you from accomplishing the main task then it has to be ignored, or resolved to the extent that the main task is not jeopardized. A written, individual, solution has to be submitted. The group has to discuss the plan, arrive at a consensus plan, and nominate a leader to narrate the plan. It is a comprehensive test, which brings out the aspects of logical thinking, ability to convince others with your views, accept ideas from others which are better than yours, or are more acceptable to others.

    Tips: Concentrate to understand the situation well. Submit a comprehensive & well written plan. Be prepared to accept others’ ideas. Do not try to resolve any intermediary problem which will prevent you from accomplishing the main task.

        IOT

    In Individual Obstacles Task, you are required to attempt 10 obstacles individually; each obstacle consists of some points from 1 to 10.

    Tips: It appears to be mainly a test of speed & strength, but is not so. Plan the sequence of crossing the obstacles with a view to score maximum marks earliest. If you are in doubt about clearing an obstacle attempt it towards the end. In case you have begun to cross an obstacle, then do not leave it in between, as this displays lack of determination & self confidence.

    COMMAND TASK

        You will be a commander in this task, & are required to cross some obstacles with the help of 2-3 subordinates. You can choose 2-3 candidates from your own group whom you think can help you to clear the obstacles.

    Tips: Choose subordinates based on competence, rather than friendship. In case you are stuck, ask ideas from subordinates. CT is assigned to each candidate based on his abilities. In case your CT is quite difficult, then be happy, your IQ has been well rated.

    SNAKE RACE/GROUP OBSTACLE RACE

         All group members will be competing with other groups. Members will be holding a snake like rope; they are required to cross certain obstacles with the snake. There are certain rules like all other tasks. It is a kind of race among different groups.

    Tips for PGT, HGT, CT & FGT: Initially it will be difficult to understand the use of the helping material in crossing obstacles. Do not worry, keep thinking & observing. Ideas utilized in crossing one obstacle will have relevance in others as well.  After PGT you will have better ideas for later tasks. Each task has more than one solution. Please adhere to instructions.

How to face Interviewing Officer in SSB Personal Interview

          Personal Interview is a key factor which decides your recommendation in the SSB Interview, SSB Interview questions and answers plays vital role in the assessment of the candidate. How to face the IO[ Interviewing officer]  in the SSB PI[ SSB Personal Interview] is the major concern here, one wrong move can tarnish your image and reduce your chances to get recommend.


One must not take the PI as a formality , SSB Interview questions and answers sounds very informal when compare to any other interview but they are designed to access your overall quality as a person and helps to judge your suitability to become an Officer in Indian Defence Forces . We will discuss about the points you should keep in your mind to get the best impression in SSB Interview .


First Impression is the last Impression :


Lets follow this saying in SSB Interview also, yes the first impression plays a vital role in the personal interview , it may do good or bad for you. To get the first impression as a good impression try to follow below mentioned points:
  •     Dress neatly , wear formals for Personal Interview , avoided wearing something which makes you uncomfortable , if you find yourself smart in front of the mirror other will also finds the same so have a comfortable outfit .
  •     Look out for the best color combination, wear light color cloths , do not wear a tie if you are not habitual to it , wearing a tie won’t put any additional impression  but if you love to wear it then must have it.
  •     Enter into the room showing all teeth , I mean to say go with decent smile and wish the Interviewing officer , do not ask for permission to go inside, already you have been called inside .
  •     IO will ask you to sit , if he won’t then after waiting for 5secs you can sit by your own, it will show your confidence to take the action and self decisions .

Body Language  :

Once again a very important point to keep in mind is to have a decent body language during the whole interviewing process. Most of us forget about our body movements and postures while talking with someone; specially here the IO will have a total look on your body because he will be sitting 3-4 meters away from you , so avoid doing unnecessary yoga postures during PI.
  •     Sit straight and lean backward , utilize the chair to relax not to become panic . Avoid leaning forward while answering to questions or putting some stress on a particular answer, it also shows you’re not confident but nervous . You might have seen during the PPDT most of the candidates start leaning forward and sits on the edge of the chair , it shows your confidence level is less.
  •     You can use your hand while answering but make sure that hands should not start flying here and there , use them gently like a gentleman.
  •     Look at the IO while answering , he was also a candidate like you , why to become nervous in front of him , think as if your are talking to a friend who is interested to know about you to make friendship . Please avoid watching here and there , talk to the person sitting in front of you, take it as a challenge  and say yes I am ready to face you .

Communication  :

We know the importance of communication skills , here communication means the way you pass your answers to the IO, if you are very good in speaking English but whatever you said goes above the head of the IO then it is of no use on the other hand if you are not so fluent but the way you speak is convincing and shows that you are confident while answering then you hit the target . Candidate from cities are supposed to speak well in English , candidates from rural area are also supposed to speak in English but IO may over look their mistakes .
  •     Listen to the question first, think the answer for 2-3 secs and then say it, yes you can wait for sometime to think before answering, no one asked you to speak as soon as IO stops. Think for 2-3 secs how and what you are going to say, it will help you to deliver the answer in a proper way with less mistakes.
  •     Being a repeater you must know the common questions which are asked by the IO every time, do prepare them well before the PI. You can check SSB Interview questions and answers here.
  •    Speak softly and calmly , keep your voice  audible to the IO, do not raise the voice suddenly , try to speak normally with expression. Have you seen how  officers use to talk , yes , you got it now, follow that.

Listen First :

Yes dear aspirants , being a young blood we have decide not to listen  anyone and do our own , NOT HERE , listen to the IO carefully , do not assume a question like the way you want it to be or faced earlier. You may be answering the East when asked for West, just think how badly it will create your  impression in PI.
  •     Listen to the question properly , wait for the IO to stop and then think and speak.
  •     Do not start thinking of a answer when the IO is asking questions , it won’t let you to listen to the question properly and you will end up with saying different answer.  Let the IO complete his words so that you won’t interfere in between .
  •     Ask IO to repeat the question if you missed it, and then answer it properly.

 Be Open ; But in a Limit:

IO wants to know about your personality and your personal life, for that you may come across few questions which you would like to hide just because you think that it will create a negative impact on your PI. This thing is correct up to some limit but you should be careful in choosing what to hide or what not to hide. IO is a well experienced person sitting over there so be carefully while holding a mask or trying to hide, you must be a genius in this. [Try it at your own risk Smile ]
  •     Try to speak what is asked by IO, do not put additional information, be to the point or else the IO will sleep off.
  •     Again I say think before answering , it will help you to decide what to say or what not to say.

Take the opportunity to ask Him :

Many IO provide you an opportunity to ask something , it could be anything. Take the chance and ask him something but make sure that you should not ask something very personal or irrelevant to SBB or Defence. Keep in mind that whatever you ask him also shows your own character and quality ,IO may pick something from that too, so be sensible while asking something.

How to Improve Your Personality for SSB Interview

It is rather difficult to define personality. Personality is the sum total of our habits – physical, mental & emotional. It is that quality which makes a human different from an ape. Considering the above definitions, we can say that personality is a wonderful quality .It is an  essential part of a  person which make him what he is.




It is something which distinguishes him from his fellow beings. Personality is neither biological nor natural. It can be developed and improved . Environment plays a considerable role in shaping our personality and attitude. Attitude is acquired in the early stages of life. As the time passes, they get strengthened and are absorbed in the personality of man. For proper development of personality, it is essential to have a proper attitude. Attitude which make up the major part of a man’s personality leads to success or defeat in his life. It is seen that development of personality largely depends on the development of attitude. If attitude is hazy, the personality will not be clear. If the attitude is healthy and constructive, then the personality is also healthy.

                              

A question generally arises as to whether we can change our attitude which hampers our progress. This can be done, if we are able to counter the influences which developed our attitude, we can overcome and correct our attitudes. To develop your personality, friends, try to develop a moral character and of course a healthy body and mind. Try to have a good knowledge on the present trends in social, technological and political fields. Extensive reading of books, journals and a wide spectrum of newspapers helps to increase our knowledge which will help us to achieve confidence to face the SSB. A candidate’s character traits are assessed throughout SSB Tests and it is essential to have a good sparkling character for an officer to effectively command and coordinate his subordinates. A man without a good character is like a flower without perfume.
