My Target Service Selection Board (SSB)

The movie also lighten up the characters which a defence aspirant should have inside his soul. The
boy who supports his friends, the boy who is truthful, the boy with power of retention, the boy who
wants to be himself and not “Udesh”, the boy who had a lot of confidence(that for him is joining
INDIAN ARMY is just passing the exam, then one interview and yes one medical, select to ho hi
jaaunga!!)

“Lakshya” a word which decides that where you stand in the future.

As you are reading this article it is clear that what your lakshya is?? But just by deciding your lakshya
you can’t achieve it but definitely you have completed half of the journey and the rest of the journey
is all about your preparation to achieve your Lakshya.

For some of the aspirants, getting recommendation is a thing which is cut and dried but it is not
actually so. You should be totally devoted towards your lakshya and do everything possible to
achieve it.

Take it as a war (Jung) and always remember “jung mar ke nahi maar ke jeeti jaaati hai”, so don’t let
your dream die, kill the thoughts which pulls you away from your lakshya.

And always remember “LAKSHYA TOH HAR

HAAL MEIN PAANA HAI”!!

How to Be a Hero of Your SSB Interview

Group?

You must have heard people saying that SSB is more of a group thing than an individual thing.

Well this is neither true to 100% and nor even false to some extent. What I am trying to say is
that in SSB your group and how well you Gel with your group counts. However your group
is not totally responsible for your success or failure but it does matters. The simple reason for

this is that most of the tasks given to you in SSB are group oriented in fact the GTO series
tasks which are the maximum point gainers consist of maximum group tasks(GD’s, GPE, PGT,

HGT, GOR, Command task etc.)
Hence it is very important for you to make a good impression on your group mates and make
the best of friendships with them. Here are a few tips on how you can cast a good impression on
your group and take everybody in confidence.

1. Stop the “I don't know anything” pretension: Some of us think that if we try to pretend
as if we know nothing about the SSB and how things are done in SSB others will think that

we are innocent and take us lightly. Trust me I have seen candidates behaving that way. It
casts a negative impression on your mates. Avoid it.
