Situations are also stimulus—These situations are stimulus and may stimulate your emotions and
passions to react immediately.
What you feel, think and Act—
We want emotional governance rather than the actual out come.

If you have will to join the services then your ‘will’ can inculcate required qualities to join this
cadre. When you notice or confront a situation your ‘will’ to undertake the challenge and will stimulate
you to feel think and act to render situational justice to the existing problem.

Situational intelligence is more important rather than basic intelligence.
I will interpret the above as under—
For the above I would like to quote a few contents addressed by the deputy-president 18 SSB
Allahabad—
“We are looking who can perform in the same manner in which it was expected to be done. He said
that candidates who are not recommended should go for the self-analysis and if they want to report back
to the SSB, they should accept their mistakes and work hard to correct the same”.
To support the above contents I will again quote the closing address by the interview officer
of 20th SSB Bhopal for 116 IMA course—
“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 rarely get time for sports and exercises. Like if someone cannot speak
English, it can be worked upon. We have academies to do this job. But there are some personality
traits, which you do not have. Then it is strict NO-NO. For example if someone is not honest, no
amount of training can make him honest, since it is an inborn virtue to be well nurtured right
from the childhood.”
Touching and qualifying the certain scale of Parameter—Now the question comes at stake is
that How ? Studious/Academic and the candidates of shy nature can enter and touch the certain scale of
parameter.
“A candidate who, being an academic and studious, has not been able to expose and explore
himself, does not and will not amount to any wrong, in these cases we only expect what he is expected
to perform.”
“We, the assessor’s understand that what your guts and capacity is; if you only reveal ‘will’, and
determination means dashing determination to undertake a challenge then we understand your capacity
and we immediately come under situational satisfaction that you can not perform more than that and we
give you our ranking, rating and grading to touch the scale of our parameter.”
We want an optimum hero who could attack to a problem and solve it.

Just to prove above I will cite as under—
Shivendra Kumar Maurya—(an NDA candidate and was also having second call for TES Army
and subsequently third call for Naval Technical entry scheme for the Naval College of Engineering
Lonavala near Pune is being interviewed).
Having completed half of the interview the president wanted to confirm the following qualities to
justify, prove, confirm and to reach to the actual level to find out whether the candidate deserves to
enter into the toe of a Company Commander or not. The following qualities are subject to
confirmation—
