Story :—Rajesh a IIIrd year student of Babu Banarsi Das Engg. College Lko, badly suffered from
“Jaundice” during his B.E. 6th Semester exam. Before he could recover, 7th Sem. approached & again
the doctor advised him for complete rest for one month. He wanted to compensate the percentage of
previous semester and at the same time he wanted to perform better in the next semester. He appealed to
all his friends and teachers to assist with note-books and to render help for the incomplete courses and
in the hospital itself he started working hard, while remaining on the bed under the doctor’s care. In the
next semester, he recovered his percentage and got the VIIth position in the college.
The real Case History of Sri Amerendra Verma—Amerendra Verma a student of B. Tech. in
Babu Banarsidas Engineering College Lucknow, is a son of Peon, reported to me in 2006 for UES
(University Entry Scheme) for the Army. He Got through in first attempt. I would like to say that this
system of selection does not have different yard-stick for the selection of officers in the commissioned
cadre. Whether you are a son a of a peon or the President of India, it will never create impression to the
system of selection. The assessors of the system have no different stick-yards. To prove the testimony
of my statement I would like to quote the closing address given by one of the senior officer of the SSB
Bhopal (20 SSB) for 116 IMA course in 2003.
“Very often candidates come up with the question that what are we looking for in a candidate. In
short It can be said that we are looking for a person who is mentally, physically, emotionally and
psychologically well balanced. There are certain areas where we may lower the bar a little like
physical stamina because it is understandable that in today’s highly competitive environment, students
very rarely get time for sports and exercises. Like if some one can not speak English, it can be worked
upon. We have academies to do this job. But there are some personality traits, which if you don’t have,
then it is a strict NO-NO for example if some one is not honest, no amount of training can make him
honest, since it is an in born virtue to be well nurtured from the childhood. Many times, candidates are
hesitant to admit their negative traits, we want that the person should have enough guts to admit the
shady side of his personality. We certainly give more importance to moral courage than to physical
courage. It is again a wrong notion that we don’t like it, if a candidate has undertaken a coaching.
Coaching can help you to get feel of the tests, but definitely we do not like person’s natural personality
should be masked due to coaching.”
Now Gentlemen, you all are the citizens of this country, I can dare say having more than 40 years
of experience at my credit in this field that this system of selection again I am proud to say is one of the
best in the world. Therefore, Gentlemen, without bothering the caste, colour, creed, language, socio-
economic background, financial condition and finally whether you are poor or rich, having poor
percentage or good one. The only requirement is your achieving attitude, trainable, flexible behavioural
pattern with an attitude of giving 100% in every assignment whatever you undertake.
