Harsh Sheoran Recommended For NDA And OTA Gaya

Very warm and sincere greetings to all the defence aspirant here. I am HARSH SHEORAN and I got  recommended for NDA-142 and TES-42. Well before starting the story let me tell you about myself, I Belong  to Bhiwani, Haryana and presently pursuing BA from kirorimal college, DU.

So for me to join armed forces was very natural as my family legacy. My father is retired as a JCO from Corps of engineer and my brother has passed out from NDA this December So whatever I am writing is based on the experience of two recommendations I have got, my brother and friends who got recommended with me and the success stories that I have read on Defence Direct Education and most important, that I have learned in GEORGIANS ACADEMY DELHI.

Now until I got recommended, I used to read a lot of stories on Defence Direct Education, now I got recommended, I felt this it as a responsibility to write a story to continue the cycle .

The SSB procedure is divided into 5 days and 4 techniques:

1. Screening
2. Psychology
3. Interview
4. GTO

SCREENING

Now in screening there are 4 parts

1. OIR

1. Simple test of verbal and non verbal questions
2. Practice some question
3. Usually not very tough , one with normal  IQ can easily do

2. STORY COMPREHEND

A picture is shown to us  and we have to write a story around it , after that it is followed by narration and discussion. In my opinion there are only 2 ways to write a story . The same approach will be there for writing TAT stories in PSYCHOLOGY.

1. Try to relate with you, your hobbies ,your  PIQ….. for e.g

→if studying scene … can relate with quiz if u have done

→if outdoor hiking…the  trip∕ tour you have made in school or college

2. Go with authority

It is not possible  to write every story around u, so the  remaining stories can be handled by introducing authority and solving a problem ..for e.g

→ IAS officer on  solving agriculture crisis …. If field scene..farmers , solving theft and robbery cases,promoting clean india programme etc

→ ARMY officer, Medical officer etc as per the picture

The best part about authority stories is you can prepare them before hand .

The main concept  behind writing stories is that after reading 12 atories of TAT the psychologist must know everything about you ( when u relate stories with PIQ) and how better you can plan and organise.

Now some  points

1. Do not write character name as Ram/Shyam instead of it write name of your
2. Observe the pictutre fully …….if it is KUTUB MINAR do not write EIFFEL TOWER i.e no pre occupied thoughts
3. Show the working part more i.e planning and organization .
4. Have some stories prepared beforehand …authorities and related to  your PIQ.

3. NARRATION

1. Revise it again and again .. u will get enough time before narration
2. Speak confidentially ,loud and slow
3. Have a smile
4. Neately dressed

4. GROUP DISCUSSION

1. If it is going to be fish market then you have two choices

→ raise voice, shout to control and direct the group,appreciate the stories of others by calling the chest number,

As you do this you will automatically get the support of them

→ put your points calmly try your best and if still there is no coordination then its better to sit calm and composed

Its all about screening.

INTERVIEW

Interview is one of the easiest technique of SSB .Its one to one conversation with officer usually with a rank of Colonel .If you prepare it  well you can tackle it  easily.

In both  my recommendations my interview was of 15-20 minutes (I don’t know why…but good for me)

Now must  things for interview

→Be as neately dressed  as you can ,your dressing style  should speak for you

→whatever be the situation always have a smile on face

Now I am writing the possible question that can  be asked by breaking the PIQ

1. Meaning of your name, justify it
2. Train details of which you can coming like train number, states it passed, what you did during your journey, total distance and avg speed (if you going by flight be ready for Bernoulli Theorem)
3. The good and bad things about three places i.e your permanent address, present address, and the place where you have lived the most and the comparison between them.
4. Strength and weakness of each of the family member and incident to prove them
5. If I met with your mother/father/brother/sister/best friend what he will tell about you to me
6. Now some related to your education

<Tell me the percentage from 8^th to 12^th> < the exams u have appeared> <best and worst subject/teacher with reason > <if you scored less than why > <unit conversions> <if u have changed your school/stream than why>

7. Best  and worst  day/friend with reason

8. One thing u want to improve in your best friend and one thing your best friend want to improve in you

9. Analyze your psychology test …..IO sees that and can  ask question …..sometime you realize that why he asked me that question ….the origin of such question is from your psychology dozier

10. Daily routine on normal days and and how it is different from Sunday

11. how u organize your pocket money

12. Information about your fathers profession, his earnings

13. Every minute  detail about  your sports, hobbies, and CCA activities that u have mentioned in PIQ

14. Why u want to join ARMY/NAVY/AIRFORCE….. Recent deals of armed forces, organization of armed forces, ranks, structure etc.

15. Tell me about 5 international/national/sports news …. Its always good if u remain in touch of newspaper

16. Why u did not get recommended in last attempt, how you prepared this time, what will u do if you did not get recommended this time too

17. Some technical questions…. hydrodynamics and hydrofluids…. Bernouli theormand its application, pascals law, Archimedes principal, concept of torque, how fan rotates, how boat and works.

18. How will you organize any sport or CCA event

IF YOU PREPARE ALL THESE QUESTION, CHEERS 95 % OF INTERVIEW IS OUT

Interview is all about how good you know about yourself, how you observe things and how u make opinion about them.

If u thinks that u have not done so well in academics, sports, CCA, and in responsibilities than best thing one can do is to START WITH TRUTH AND AND UP WITH LIE. Its deep try to understand.

PSYCHOLOGY

The most important thing in SSB  is psychology. If you get an edge OVER  it half of the battle is won to improve psych improve yourself in daily life. There are four techniques in psych

1. TAT

In this you have a story on 12 photos …and the concept of story writing is explained earlier.
