Secrets of SSB (Final PDF)

The document provides guidance on how to approach psychological tests at the Service Selection Board (SSB), focusing on the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT). 1) In TAT stories, identify a problem or issue from the picture prompt and have your main character (yourself) decide/plan to solve it, showing qualities like planning, organizing and self-confidence. 2) Describe your character's actions to demonstrate qualities like responsibility and helpfulness, rather than directly stating qualities. 3) Involve other characters like friends and family to show social adaptability, but have the main character lead the problem-solving.

SECRETS of SSB REVEALED

(From the Perspective of a Philosopher)

Hello, everyone! I am Vinay Vashisth, a gold medalist in Philosophy from Delhi


University. Having attended SSBs7 times I started thinking philosophically about
psychology of the Service Selection Boards (SSBs) and outcome was quite
conclusive. I strongly felt that we do not take SSB psychological tests seriously.
We don’t know what the interviewing officer wants and what the GTO is looking
at. Hence, based on my research on philosophy of Psychology of the SSB, I want
to share some HIDDEN things that aren’t deciphered by SSB candidates. My
previous answersabout SSBs on Quora which had got more than 60k views gave
me motivation to write here elaborate answers.
Read each line carefully. You will not need any book/coaching after reading
this.Every Page in this PDF keeps on getting DEEPER, so just finish the entire PDF.
Have a great Journey!

PSYCHOLOGY: This test is taken when candidates clear the first day process
i.e. the screening process (I shall take screening process in the last). The
candidates are made to write 12 stories here. This is called TAT (Thematic
Apperception Test). After that they are asked to write sentences on given 60
words (Word Association Test). Then candidates are given the SRT (Situation
Reaction Test) in which they have to respond to given situations which are 60 in
total. And, at last the candidates write their self-description.

In TAT, you are the main character. None else. You will make the character do
what you think you can do (isn’t it?). So, you are a Ram or a Shyam of the given
picture. Imagine yourself and dive deep into the picture so that you don’t write
the story floating in air. Besides, can’t you name the character of the story on the
names of the people of your room allotted in SSB? Aren’t they your friends? They
are. Write their names! It shows social adaptability which is one of the OLQs
(Officers likeQualities). Now you will, through that character, take out his qualities
and the qualities will be depicted only when you make him solve certain problem
and situation. For example, people are eating at a restaurant (with no problem
here); do you think we can make out their qualities? No; because there is no issue
or problem. Hero is made out of bad situations when he gets you out of the issue
or problem. So, ascertain the problem given in the picture. I will tell you how.

Suppose in first picture, there is a person drowning and a boat is there. In these
types of pictures, we can clearly know the problem that the person is drowning.
But suppose in the second picture, three people are standing and talking. How to
raise an issue here? Now think that they are standing DUE TO SOME REASON. The
reason can be anything (will depend on candidate to candidate). So, chest number
1 will see that they are standing BECAUSE they are discussing about holding a
farewell in their college. Chest number 2 will say that they are standing BECAUSE
they are discussing how to make their place (urban or rural) self-sufficient in
electricity. Third chest number will say that they are standing BECAUSE they are
members of a company and want to grow their sales. ALL the candidates have
brought an issue here. They are all correct in their perspectives. BUT, if a
candidate writes that they are standing there BECAUSE somebody has been bitten
by a snake or a terrorist has come up or they are drug addicts, it would show that
he is bringing an issue which is unnecessary and cannot be seen in the picture:
This is called making a picture NEGATIVE. One can also say that these people are
standing BECAUSE they want to do some kitty party (NOW THIS IS VERY
CHILDISH). This is not accepted from a defenseservices candidate. Another one
may write that they are standing BECAUSE these people have lost their family
member (VERY NEGATIVE, WHY KILLING PEOPLE). So, make these people discuss
something very constructive. Now let’s move on to how to go forward with the
story.
After ascertaining the WHY of the picture, that is, why they are standing/sitting
etc., the main character i.e. you will nowPLAN/AIM/DECIDE to tackle the issue
and solve it. So, one shall write RAHUL PLANNED/DECIDED/AIMED to organize the
farewell in college: SHOWS PLANNING/ORGANISING MIND; ALSO SHOWS SELF
CONFIDENCE, BOTH BEING OLQs. The Psychologist will give you points under
these headings of OLQs because ultimately SSB is all about filling the jar of 15
OLQs one by one from your stories, WAT, SRT etc. So, coming back, after
identifying the issue, you have decided or aimed to do the task (a good mind plan
first and then acts). Before planning anything, don’t move an inch in the story.
Rahul, the main character of your story is not a BOY but a MAN. So, Rahul, a boy
of such and such village is not what you will write. You will write Rahul is a man of
such and such village. One may think what difference is between a man and a
boy is. See you write what you think you are from inside. Are you still a boy? Or
you are a man! Psychologist circles these things in his record. So write man of
your age-group.

Some of the candidates also write like, Rahul is very bright and responsible
person. This is wrong. Now tell me! Will you show the qualities by writing his
quality or HIS WORK WILL SPEAK so? These adjectives like bright, shining-star,
responsible, truthful DON’T IMPRESS THE PSYCHOLOGIST. He knows well that you
have written these things to SHOW him that the character is SUCH AND SUCH.
You should show HOW he is responsible and bright and self-confidentthrough his
WORKS in your story and not by writing his qualities. For example,one shouldn’t
write RAHUL is very helpful man and takes care of everyone. NO! You will write,
say, Rahul made tea and lunch for his parents;or he gave books to read to his
friends(THIS SHOWS HIS HELPFULNESS BY ACTIONS). SO, please refrain from GIFT
WRAPING these things. Defense forces want simple people and not those who
don’t have essence within and rather showcase themselves something else like
BRIGHT, INTELLIGENT, etc. Show them, why you are so and so by showing YOUR
WORK and not by mentioning it. Ambani and Salman Khan don’t care what they
wear outside because they know their aukat from within. It’s we, the middle
class, who try new boots and showcase people to show how rich we are because
we feel we are not so within. Okay, let’s move on. Now after you have made a
determination/aim that you will solve the problem (after identifying the problem
or an issue), you shall plan out as to what you will do in order to tackle the
situations. Let me give you an example. Suppose, in a story, a person is shown on
a jeep and people are around him. So, let’s first ask ourselves why he is on a jeep
and why people are gathered? So, for me (say), this is Rahul who wants to
participate and win the elections of MLA. Now how will I write the story: Rahul
was a resident of Delhi who had studied political science from DU.(here I didn’t
use the word man, it’s not compulsory to use that, but I didn’t use the word BOY
either which would have been wrong). After turning 25 years of age he decided
(DECIDED MATLAB PLAN ALREADY DONE IN MIND) to join politics. He filed his
name as an Independent candidate (shows self-confidencekiakelabhikhada ho
saktahun) for Delhi assembly elections (specifically wrote assembly. Please be
specific, whether it’s general or assembly elections; it shows your depth of mind
that it can pick peculiar and things in very dense situation of SSB also). He did a
reiki of his constituency (shows that your mind first wants to know THINGS
FULLY). He made a group of his friends who wished to support him
(howsorganizational skills). Then using his bank savings (risk lenewalaaadmi, good
job), he got printed pamphlets. He made a manifesto after ascertaining the issues
of the area and talking to the citizens (social adaptability, sense of responsibility
towards the citizens). He also noticed what other candidates are doing (person
learns from others also and I didn’t write RIVAL candidates because RIVAL shows
my aversion for them) and improvised his strategy. He visited every nook and
corner (stamina is good). He performed singing to gain attention of the citizens
(liveliness). Ultimately, he won by huge margin (SELF CONFIDENCE). {If someone
writes he won by just 2 votes it will show lack of confidence in you; or someone
writes that he lost but nevertheless he tries again----THIS ALSO SHOWS LESS
CONFIDENCE THAT YOU LOST EVEN IN A STORY AND YOU WANTED TO SHOW THE
PSYCHOLOGIST THAT YOU ARE becoming HUMBLE PERSON AND TRYING TO
IMPRESS HIM. ONE MORE MISTAKE that candidates do is that they write that
Rahul TRIED to win that election (NOW WHY TRIED? IS YOU NOT SURE THAT HE
willWIN?). So always write he decided to win that election. It will show your focus
and determination.
So, in TAT, always take out an issue (when you answer the question as to WHY
ARE THEY STANDING or SITTING, AN ISSUE WILL COME TO YOU AND THEN write a
line saying “SO HE DECIDED/PLANNED/AIMED TO ERADICATE/SOLVE this
issue”.Then write “SO HE….” (ACTIONS). Actions should be mature, reasonable,
and full of confidence.

In TAT, always seek out what is not given in the picture. For example, if in the
picture, under a building, a pole is shown fallen on a car, then you should
IMAGINEsome MORE THINGS. THIS TYPE OF IMAGINING OR TAKING OUT THE
HIDDEN SHOWS A GOOD MIND. So, you may now be able to see in the picture of
car, pole and building more hidden things like people, friends, neighbors, school,
RWA, crane, more care, electricity department, rope, and rain due to which pole
fell down: reasoning ability is also an OLQ. Make stories in which you involve
friends, family, neighbors, etc. YOU ARE NOT AN ISLAND. You are a social being.
Take their help in secondary issues like fetching something, etc. But main plan will
be on the shoulders of the character. So, this story can be like this: Rahul was a
man of 22 years and one day, as usual, was getting prepared for morning jogging.
He noticed outside that due to yester night’sstorm in his city, an electricity pole
had fallen on his neighbor’s car. Water had entered into the houses of poor
people. So, HE DECIDED TO BRING NORMALCY. He quickly called the electrician
who switched off the main electric current of his colony. He took a rope and tied
it to his car and the pole, got the pole lifted from the neighbor’s car. He also,with
his friends, drained out water from houses of people and from the streets. During
this time he contacted principal of his college and got his permission to settle in
the college premises the people affected. He arranged food and necessary clothes
for the people and MADE UP HIS MIND TO NOT LET ANY WATER STOCK-PILE. He
also took an axe and chopped down the fallen trees and used dry logs as cooking
fuel for community lunch for the needy and the poor.

I WILL NOT WRITE in my story that he GOT CM AWARD or COLONY TROPHY FOR
HIS BRAVE-BRAVE WORK. Because your WORK COMPLETED IS YOUR OWN
TROPHY AND SATISFACTION IS THE PRICE! DON’T TELL THE PSCHOLOGIST THAT
YOU HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB. RATHER HE KNOWS WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!
DON’T FEED HIM WITH TROPHIES IN ANY STORY. RATHER FEED HIM WITH
RESPONSIBILITY TO COME UP A GOOD CITIZEN.

In TAT, don’t show any aversion or hatred. Like, some candidates write “Rahul
noticed that people spoiled the garden; people were not behavinggood with him,
people were not much aware; people didn’t agree with him;strangers caused
problems; etc. Such all things show what kind of ATTITUDE you have towards
people. This kind of person is bound to write in WAT on the word
STRANGER…..”STRANGER IS BAD” or “Stranger is Danger.” He may also adopt a
more refined way of not having social compatibility; like, “STRANGER IS NOT A
DANGER”, which obviously shows that in order to escape from getting caught you
inserted cleverly the word NOT. Psychologist knows everything. SO, don’t hate,
blame, reduce people to inferior status. Blame the Rain for pole getting on the car
and not the car driver to have put the car beside the pole.IF, in a picture, SOME
FARMER IS LOOKING AT HIS CROPS AT NIGHT. Here, DON’T SAY THAT
MISCREANTS USED TO DETROY HIS CROPS. RATHER, SAY THAT ANIMALS CAME OR
SOME OTHER ISSUE IS THERE. DON’T MAKE THE STORIES OF KILLING NAXALITES,
BOMBING enemy country or something like that. THIS ONLY SHOWS HATRED.
YET, IF THE STORY IS LIKE THAT ONLY, then the aspect is different.SUPPOSE,an
enemy army PERSON IS HIDING WITH A GUN, THEN YOU ARE BOUND TO KILL OR
CHASE. ONLY IN THAT SCENARIO, OTHERWISE NOT! DON’T PUT BLAME ON
THIEVES, MISCREANTS, AND ROBBERS IN YOUR STORY! AVOID IT. DO SOMETHING
CONSTRUCTIVE. PUTTING BLAME ON OTHERS SHOWS YOUR OWN PSYCHOLOGY
ONLY OF HATING OTHERS IN ANY FORM. SO, IF YOU SEE SOMEONE CLIMBING A
BUILDING, DON’T SAY HE WAS A THIEF AND PEOPLE CAUGHT HIM! NEVER DO
THAT! RATHER, ONE CAN CLIMB THE BUILDING TO DO SOMETHING CREATIVE
OUT OF THE BUILDING OR, MAYBE, for PUTTING OFF FIRE (WHICH OBVIOUSLY
WASN’T THE FAULT OF CITIZENS THAT THEY WERE CARELESS AND FIRE SPREAD).
BLAME THE SITUATION FOR NATURAL EVENTS AND NOT PEOPLE IN ANY FORM!
Got it? Parents kehtehainna (parents say)…”BETA DUNIYA BAHUT KHRAAB HAI
AAJ KAL”. Please take this out of your mind. People are good because you are
good. “JaisiDrishti, waisiSrishti”(the world is what you are).
In TAT, suppose a picture of accident is there. A person is lying on the road. Now
let me show you how to go about this simple story… Rahul With his college mates
(shows SOCIAL COMPATABILITY) was going to college to give presentation on
biotechnology (NOW RAHUL DOESN’T ROAM IN THE MARKET TO JUST CHILL. HE
HAS A PURPOSE). As he was going, he noticed a loud sound at behind. He quickly
turned back and saw that vehicles have collided (THIS SHOWS THAT FIRST you SEE
WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND DON’T JUST RUN AFTER LISTENING TO SOUND. SO
FIRST SEE WHAT IT IS FOR YOU TO RUN). He decided to solve the situation
(SHOWS THE AIM IN MIND). He quickly ran towards the scene (SPEED OF
DECISION IS AN OLQ). He lifts the biker and gets him to the side and also instructs
his friend to get his bike to a side (given him secondary job). He then notes the car
number that had dashed the bike from behind and contacts police. He took out
his bottle (Khudki bottle, waah achi baat hai) and gave the biker water to drink
and stopped the bleeding by handkerchief (Iska matlab you have the confidence
that handkerchief se bleeding Roklunga. SOME PEOPLE WRITE HE WILL TRY TO
STOP THE BLEEDING AND THE BLEEDING WILL NOT STOP SO HE WILL TAKE HIM
TO HOSPITAL. NOW WHY IT DIDN’T STOP? YOU ARE already TOO
UNDERCONFIDENT). He told his friends to reach college and wait. He then took a
lift (shows that people give you lift and thus you have good relations with
OUTSIDE WORLD. Stranger is A FRIEND) and admitted the biker to the hospital
and called his relatives. (YOUR WORK IS DONE. NOW DON’T SHOW TOO MUCH
GENEROUSNESS BY SAYING HE STAYED THERE DAY AND NIGHT WITH HIM. USKE
PAIR DABAYE ETC. lest this should SHOW YOU ARE EITHER TOO EMOTIONAL OR
YOU ARE TRYING TO BE TOO NICE. DON’T DO THIS).Rahul reached college in time
(shows self confidence. DON’T WRITE HE GOT LATE. SHOWS AGAIN THAT YOU
ARE NOT CONFIDENT THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT) AND gave the
presentation (shows sense of responsibility).

Candidates in many stories write that Rahul made people aware. STOP MAKING
PEOPLE AWARE. THEY ARE ALREADY AWARE. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY ARE NOT?
Are YOU Smarter? No way.

INCULCATING IDEAS:In Every story TAKE ONE ISSUE AT A TIME.


For instance, if there is no electricity in the village, PUT ALL EFFORTS TO SOLVE
THE ISSUE. IF your company is running at LOSS, put every effort to eradicate the
cause. PUT ACTIONS! Thus, ONE STORY = ONE ISSUE. AND INFINITE SOLUTIONS!
POLIO ISSUE? YOU WILL ERADICATE! HOW? THINK FOR SOME TIME HOW YOU
WILL ERADICATE BEFORE GOING TO SSB! THUS IMAGINE AN ISSUE(FEST
ORAGANIZING, POLIO ERADICATION, ELECTRICITY PROBLEM, AGRICULTURE
ISSUE, etc.)AND PUT ALL IMAGINATIONS ON A PAPER HOW YOU WILL SOLVE THE
ISSUE! THIS WILL HELP YOU IN INCULCATING IDEAS! If this doesn’t help, try this
given method:GOOGLE “SUCCESS STORIES OF START-UPS”; “HOW TO SAVE A
PERSON FROM DROWNING”; “HOW TO INCREASE AGRICULTURAL INCOME”;
“HOW CAN I EXPAND MY BUSINESS”; “STORIES OF SUCCEESSFUL MISSIONS BY
POLICE”; “HOW TO SOLVE ELECTRICITY PROBLEM IN VILLAGES”; “WHAT TO DO
WHEN THERE IS FIRE IN NEIGHBOUR’S HOUSE”; “HOW CAN I SAVE A PERSON
WHO MET AN ACCIDENT ON ROAD”. ALSO, WATCH SATYAMEVA JAYATE SERIAL
AND FIND OUT HOW RURAL PEOPLE SOLVED CERTAIN ISSUES. WITH THESE
THINGS, YOUR MIND WILL EXPAND AND YOU WILL KNOW SOLUTIONS TO
PECULIAR PROBLEMS WHICH YOU COULDN’T THINK OTHERWISE JUST BY
IMAGINING. THIS WILL GIVE YOUR STORIES A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF DEPTH.
SO WRITE THESE IDEAS IN A NOTEBOOK (AROUND, SAY, 20 POINTS EACH) AND
THEN PICK OUT 5-6 IDEAS THAT YOU LIKED THE BEST AND PUT THEM IN YOUR
WORDS IN YOUR STORIES. YOUR STORIES WILL SHOOT UP! Read about AMUL
BUSINESS as to HOW THEY BECAME LEADERS IN DAIRY SEGMENT. When you read
about a successful business you will NOTICE that you have to first PLAN for
business in a CORRECT CHRONOLOGY. THUS, TAKE ONE ISSUE IN A STORY AND
FEED THE STORY WITH AS MANY IDEAS AS YOU CAN! REMEMBER TO PLAN FIRST,
ORGANIZE THINGS WELL; CONVINCE OTHERS AND TAKE YOUR PROBLEM TO AN
END.

Some candidates do a mistake to paint a story POSITIVE.If a person is lying dead


in the hospital with white sheet on face, thecandidate WRITES “THIS IS A DRAMA
GOING ON”. STOP THESE THINGS! HE IS DEAD BECAUSE HE IS DEAD. NOW WHY IS
HE DEAD? BECAUSE SOME DISEASE HAS TAKEN OVER! AND WHO ARE YOU? A
DOCTOR! WHAT WILL FIRST COME TO YOUR MIND? Obviously, a PLAN TO
ERADICATE THE DISEASE. THEN YOU WILL WRITE THE ACTIONS! Take another
situation: If A PERSON IS STABBING ANOTHER PERSON.Some candidates IN
ORDER TO MAKE A STORY POSITIVE, WRITE THAT THE KNIFE WAS FAKE…IT WAS
DHAINCHU…DHAINCHU! WHAT IS THIS? DOESN’T the psychologist know that YOU
ALSO KNEW THAT a personWAS HITTING THE OTHER PERSON BUT IN ORDER TO
SOLVE SITAUTION, YOU BECAME AN ESCAPIST AND PUT THE WHOLE
RESPONSIBILITY ON THE KNIFE! YOU ARE AN ESCAPIST! WHEN WAR WILL COME,
YOU WILL BE THE FIRST ONE TO SAY “SIRji! I need leave, my mom is getting
married and my sister is sick” (HAHA). Please face the situation. And come out of
it! Show us the WAY! In the story where Men are playing in a field, for many
IMMATURE RESPONSES “RAM AND SHAM ARE TWO FRIENDS, THEIR EXAMS ARE
OVER NOW AND THEY ARE PLAYING”. NOW SHOULD I RECOMMEND SUCH MIND?
CANNOT YOU MAKE A STORY ON SOME GAME TOURNAMENT WHERE YOU ARE
PARTICIPATING AND ORGANISING THE GAMES? CANNOT YOU ASCERTAIN THE
NUMBER OF COLLEGES TAKING PART? CANNOT YOU MAKE YOUR MEN PRACTICE
DAILY AND CONTROL THEIR DIETS? CANNOT YOU CALL THE CHIEF GUEST AND
ALSO THINK ABOUT PRIZE DISTRIBUTION? SO, EVERY STORY (NEGATIVE OR
POSITIVE) IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO TAKE YOUR QUALITIES OUT! SO,
WRITE A STORY AND SIT DOWN, BE YOUR OWN PSYCHOLOGIST AND TAKE OUR
THE QUALITIES FROM YOUR OWN STORIES! THIS WILL HELP YOU A LOT!

Further, MANY CANDIDATES wrongly WRITE LIKE THIS: HE DID THIS WORK
AND SOCIETY LIKED IT VERY MUCH OR HE SAVED PEOPLE AND PEOPLE LIKED HIS
BRAVERY WORK! This self-propaganda is wrong.DON’T TALK ABOUT PEOPLE
TALKING ABOUT YOUR QUALITIES! LET THE PSYCHOLOGIST himself TAKE OUT
your QUALITIES. YOU JUST DO YOUR WORK! NEVER WRITE LIKE THIS: RAHUL
GAVE BOOKS TO HER AND EVERYONE CLAPPED FOR HIS HELPING nature. RAHUL
DIVED IN RIVER AND EVERYONE LIKED HIS BRAVERY! Instead, better to WRITE:
“RAHUL GAVE BOOKS” & “RAHUL DIVED”. YOUR HELPFULNESS AND BRAVERY
WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE NOTICED BY PSYCHOLOGIST!

Take a STORY: A PERSON VISITING GRAVEYARD. NOW MANY PEOPLE WRITE


HERE THAT THERE IS A GHOST (BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN TOO MUCH ‘AAHAT’
SERIAL on TV) AND SO RAHUL WAS DETECTIVE OR A GHOST BHAGANE WALA!
THIS IS NON-SENSE AND VERY CHILDISH. WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM HERE?
CANNOT YOU point AN ISSUE OF LACK OF SPACE FOR GRAVEYARD for which SDM
IS TAKING THE WHOLE VIEW OF THE PLACE AND he DECIDED TO DEMARCATE FOR
GRAVEYARD? CANNOT YOU ALSO SAY THAT RAHUL SHALL SECUREmore suitable
places for GRAVEYARD; he will make a gate AND GIVE KEYS TO VILLAGE
HEADMEN? CANNOT YOU MAKE MAP KIND OF THING SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW
WHERE TO LOOK FOR THE EXACT GRAVE OF THEIR FAMILY BEINGS! CANNOT YOU
CONVINCE THE COMMUNITY OR FARMERS TO GIVE LAND FOR THIS WELFARE
PURPOSE? YOU CAN! YOU WILL, IF YOU WILL. So, Bhoot bhagao and Mann mein
acche vichar lao (Get your mind positive and be a problem solver). Small-small
solutions will take you AHEAD in SSB. Identifying the problem and then deciding
that YOU ARE THE ONE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE will make your story shoot!In a story,
suppose PEOPLE ARE CRYING IN A GRAVEYARD. NOW CANDIDATES SAY THAT
“FATHER or MOTHER or VILLAGE SARPANCH HAS DIED AND people ARE
WEEPING…”. PSYCHOLOGY STORIES AREN’T A NOVEL BOOK STORIES! KEEP THIS
IN MIND. CANNOT YOU ASCERTAIN THAT YES, DEATH HAS OCCURRED, SAY, DUE
TO INFANT MORTALITY RATE. AND, WHO WILL SOLVE THIS ISSUE? YOU! WHY?
BECAUSE YOU ARE A DOCTOR OR SDM. NOW TO ERADICATE OR LESSEN THIS
PROBLEM YOU WILL TAKE STEPS! (THINK FOR AN HOUR).

Choosing character is not less important. Suppose, there is a picture where a girl
is crying and is depressed. Here instead of bringing yourself forward as the
character, you can bring the character from outside to get the girl helped out of
her problem! Getting a character from outside in such situations is important to
keep yourself detached from depression. Suppose in a story there is a person
lying on road; he has met an accident.Obviously, you are not the person who has
met an accident and waiting for help. Rather you are the hero who will save him!
So, you can imagine yourself in these negative pictures to come out of the picture
and help. Like, if only graveyard is shown in the picture, then you don’t assume
yourself to be a dead person. DON’T FALL IN TRAP TO CONSIDER YOURSELF AS
THE NEGATIVE CHARACTER. For example if two thieves with a gun in hand are
opening up a lock. You aren’t the thief here! You are someone who will catch hold
of them! Coming out from the negative picture shows your mind’s capability! So,
solve the depressed girl’s issues, but don’t be that depressed girl! DON’T ASSUME
WHAT THE SSB ASSESSORS WANT an average candidate to prima facie ASSUME
and fall into the trap! THE MOMENT YOU FALL IN THIS TRAP (IN THIS CASE BEING
A DEPRESSED LADY), IT SHOWS THAT YOU GET carried away EASILY IN LIFE TOO.

Imagine a picture: THERE IS FIRE in the plane in the sky and a person is seen
coming out of the Plane with a parachute on a building. What story shall you
write?

Most people will write that Rahul was a pilot in IndianAir force and he noticed
fire. So he took parachute and came out of the plane safely. THIS IS PUTTING THE
PLANE, VILLAGERS IN DIFFICULTY. Instead, YOU can WRITE like this: “Rahul and his
co-pilot noticed fire. Rahul planned to get the aero plane on land safely. He told
his co-pilot to jump and take care of the ground duty and till then Rahul looked
out for a smooth plain field to land and informed the ATC… And rest you know the
story. You found it comfortable to get out of the plane that is why you assumed
yourself to be the one who is taking a parachute!

Common Mistake: Suppose in a picture two people are going in a rickshaw and
the road is totally empty. MANY CANDIDATES WILL FIRST CREATE FEAR IN THE
PASSENGERS OF RICKSHAW BY WRITING THAT “SHALU AND HER MOTHER FEARED
FROM THE LONELY ROAD”….AND THEN WILL INTRODUCE A SHAKTIMAN (HERO)
WHICH WILL SAVE THESE TWO PEOPLE. This is a WRONG WAY TO WRITE THE
STORY. WHY? THE MOMENT YOU SAW THE PASSENGERS in a FEAR OF LONELY
ROAD, it will SHOW YOUR own FEAR THROUGH THEM (EVEN IF LATER YOU KEEP
ON SAYING THAT YOU ARE THE HERO). YOU IMAGINED YOURSELF IN THEIR
(PASSENGERS) PLACE AND FEARED AND THEN WROTE THAT THEY FEARED! BUT IT
IS YOUR FEAR COMING OUT FROM THESE CHARACTERS. One could have given a
simple solution: “THE ROADS HAD POTHOLES AND THUS, RICKSHAW PASSENGERS
FACED CERTAIN ISSUE, etc.” BLAME THE SITUATION LIKE ROAD, TRAFFIC,
CLIMATE, BUT DON’T BRING FEAR IN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS.WHY DO YOU
THINK THAT THEY ARE FEARFUL?
Choosing Character: Many candidates write that “RAHUL WAS A POOR VILLAGER,
OR HE DID not HAVE GOOD FINANCIAL POSITION. HE SOLD HIS HOUSE AS
MORTGAGE TO PAY FOR OPENING A CYCLE REPAIR SHOP”. THIS SHOWS THE
LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN YOU (THROUGH THE WORDS IN BOLD). Why cannot he
be a SARPANCH? AN IIM GRADUATE? THINK OVER IT! Suppose a person in
uniform is shown, but a candidate who makes this character a “Havildar” or
“Sepoy” and NOT AN OFFICER, has a very low confidence because his mind still
feels comfortable to be at a low position; and, to him, being an OFFICER seems
unachievable (even in a story!). So, choose your character something good:
financially, morally, and socially. YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOUR ATTITUDE CHOOSES!

Some candidates also have a bad tendency to explain a particular thing in story
thinking that the psychologist or any reader wouldn’t be knowing about it. For
e.g. “ Rahul was an auditor in a bank and his work was to audit and check the
files of the bank. Now the highlighted words are extra here because when you
said he was the auditor it means that his work was of auditing. BUT, if he was
doing something else other than auditing too, then you can write, otherwise NOT.
Take another example: Rahul, in his garden grew Hydroponic plants, which is a
method to grow plants without using soil. Now this is extra part! Maybe you are
too smart to tell everyone or you think the reader may not know because
ultimately you too got to know about it just few days back! So, don’t
underestimate your reader. The reader knows. If he doesn’t, he/she will find it
out. But you don’t explain it to them thinking they are not that intelligent as you
are!

NOTE: IN SSB, YOUR MIND MUST BE ABLE TO COMPLETELY COME OUT OF


PREVIOUS STORY. SUPPOSE, IN FIRST STORY YOU GAVE SOLUTIONS TO SOME
AGRICULTURAL PROBLEMS, THEN IN THE SECOND STORY YOUR MIND “WOULD
LIKE TO” (TENDENCY OF MIND) ROAM AROUND AGRICULTURAL FIELDS ONLY!
THIS IS HUMAN TENDENCY, BUT THE ONE WHO IS ABLE TO COME OUT OF THE
PREVIOUS PICTURE IS A HERO IN REALITY! SUPPOSE, IN REAL LIFE YOUR EXAM
DIDN’T GO WELL, and IN THE NIGHT YOU HAD TO ARRANGE PARTY FOR YOUR
PARENTS, THEN MIND’S TENDENCY WILL BE TO THINK OF THE EXAM ONLY EVEN
IN PARTY! Such mind is not considered good. THAT MIND IS GOOD WHICH IS ABLE
TO COME OUT OF PAST (FAILURE OF EXAM), AND DIVE DEEP INTO THE PRESENT
(BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION). YES, YOU MUST HAVE FELT BAD FOR NOT DOING WELL
IN EXAM, BUT HOW YOU CAME OUT OF THAT SHOWS THE LEVEL OF YOUR MIND!

YOUR STORIES SHOULD HAVE RISK FACTOR!Suppose a Person is climbing a wall


(NO FIRE IS SEEN IN THIS). YOU can MAKE A STORY OF THE PROBLEM OF BEE-HIVE
ON YOUR TERRACE. AND WHO WILL REMOVE THIS HIVE? YOU! YOU WILL CLIMB
THE WALL, TAKE MATERIALS IN HAND, PUT SMOKE. YOU cantake SOMETHING
OUT of THE HIVE too LIKE HONEY! GIVE honey TO THE COLONY MATES. (THIS
TYPE OF PERSON HAS DONE A RISKY THING HERE AND SHARED the fruit WITH THE
COLONY MATES). THE PERSON, WHO CAN FACE THE BEES, CAN FACE THE
ENEMIESTOMORROW! This type of a person for a psychologist will easily do the
INDIVIDUAL OBSTACLES ALSO! HE WILL NOT be FEARFUL TO TAKE RISK IN
LECTURES! ISN’T IT? PSYCHOLOGIST DOESN’T NEED “BALLI-FATTA” OR “ROPE” OF
INDIVIDUAL OBSTACLE TO DECIDE IF YOU HAVE SELF CONFIDENCE OR NOT!
THROUGH STORIES ONLY HE CAN MAKE OUT so. The GTO DOESN’T NEED STORIES
TO assess YOU FROM WITHIN; FOR HIM, “HOW YOU PERFORM” WITHOUT FEAR is
important. JUST THINK,won’t it be a disadvantage for the PSYCHOLOGIST OR THE
IO not to getan opportunity to see the individual obstacles? BUT THEY DON’T
NEED TO SEE THOSE BECAUSE IT’S NOT ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL OBSATCLES AND
THE MARKS PUT ON IT! IT’s THE ATTITUDE OF YOURS TOWARDS “STORIES, GD,
ROPE, COLLEGUES, WAT, SRT, and INTERVIEW QUESTIONS”. WHY DO YOU HAVE
TO LEARN TO TIE A ROPE TO GET RECOMMENDED AND PAY HEFTY FEES IN
COACHING? IT’s not about the ROPE OR PLANK! It’s about YOU! THEY ARE JUST
MEDIUM. THE THREE OFFICERS HAVE DIFFERENT TOOLS OF TESTING THE SAME
PERSONALITY. THE PSYCHOLGIST DOESN’T NEED TO MAKE YOU RUN IN THE FIELD
AND GTO DOESN’T NEED SRT TO MAKE YOU RECOMMEND. PONDER OVER IT!

YOUR STORIES SHOULD BE RATIONAL. Your actions must show effective


intelligence and reasoning ability. If someone writes “THE DM VISITED EVERY
HOUSE TO DO SURVEY”, well! That’s not feasible! So, think before you write.
Every action should be do-able. Also, look out the roles of SDM, doctors, police,
army men, businessmen and others in internet. This will give you glimpses of their
roles so that when you write stories, you use the characters rationally. A
policeman will not do employment survey. Only a man employed in a particular
field will do so (find out who). Not every person will find out pollution level from
river! Only persons, say, employed with NGT or Pollution Control Board will do so.
So, choosing a person and then justifying his actions is important. For that, you
must know roles of these people in reality. IF SDM WILL GO HOUSE TO HOUSE TO
DO SURVEY, THEN ONE CAN IMAGINE HIS/HER RETIREMENT PARTY AT
SOMEONE’S HOUSE WHILE DOING SURVEY ONLY. Thus, read about THEIR ROLES
and then plan your stories effectively and rationally. Also, whatever you plan to
do in your story always put REASON why he will do that task. If Rahul wants to
teach driving to his colony mates, then why is he doing so? Maybe he found some
problem that e-rickshaws are not available and he thought of doing this. If Rahul
wants to plan a sports meet in college, then WHY is he doing so? Is there a notice
on schools board? Or he wants to improve his college’s standing? Or he feels that
sports meet hasn’t been held by college? Or he feels that sedentary (sitting) work
in college needs to be balanced with sports! You must reason out WHY A
CHARACTER is DOING A PARTICULAR ACTION. Why a certain businessman wants
to raise business, productivity etc. Is there a festival coming up? Or profit is the
motive? Or some welfare work he wants to accomplish through that?

BUT, however, IN CASES WHERE THERE IS FIRE TO BE PUT OFF, OR A PARTICULAR


PERSON is to be FROM DROWNING, THEN YOU NEED NOT GIVE REASON. Here
‘Help’ is the REASON! SO, YOU WILL NOT WRITE “RAHUL PLANNED TO SAVE THE
BOY BECAUSE HE WANTED TO HELP”; RATHER, WRITE “RAHUL PLANNED TO SAVE
THE BOY”. IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS, REASON IS SECONDARY AND SHOULDN’T
BE WRITTEN.

Some Stories to give you an idea: (Find OLQs yourself through highlighted word.
These are just sample stories. More stories will be given in my upcoming book):
1. A FEW PEOPLE SITTING AROUND A TABLE AND DISCUSSING

Story: Rahul was the CEO of his company named BISCUT, which dealt mainly in
cookies and other bakery items. He noticed well in advance that Diwali festival
was coming near and he needed to raise the supply of his products and also do
product diversification. So, he decided to hold a meeting with his board members.
He made a presentation about ascertaining the amount of cookies to be
produced. He gave an idea to collaborate with Lays. He suggested making a
package in which many items could be packed for the season. For this, he made
teams of three members each. Team A looked after production and packaging;
Team B looked after sales; and Team C contacted Lays Company. He looked after
all the teams and solved their issues. With his last year’s savings, he bought new
machine for production. He then invented some new flavors of biscuits and gave
free samples to workers to give to their children and get feedback. He and his
team convinced Lays to collaborate. He contacted wholesalers of whole India and
abroad and told them to get in touch with his teams and gave them assurance of
high profits. His Profits surged as the sales expanded. He, in fact, produced more
than demand; some of which was distributed amongst workers along with Diwali
bonus and remaining was stored for further sales.

2. VILLAGE SCENE

Story: Rahul was an engineer in BHEL. To meet his relatives after many years, he
went to his village. While he was discussing family matters with relatives,
electricity went. On asking, he was told that electricity came only for few hours.
So, Rahul decided to provide his village 24x7 hours electricity. He held a small
meeting with sarpanch and other villagers and told about his idea to which they
all agreed. He first ascertained the main dark spots of his village and the number
of households on which the solar panels could be installed. He took out his phone,
searched for good solar panels and contacted the distributer. He convinced the
suppliers to provide panels in minimum price. He soon received all the panels and
with help of villagers installed them especially in washroom and kitchen first. He
also told sarpanch to get them repaired and maintained whenever required. After
spending some more days with relatives and new friends, he returned and joined
work.

3. PERSON DROWNING

Story: Rahul was doing genetic engineering course from DU. For a research
project he visited the Yamuna with his classmates to collect genes of various
organisms so as to study them and decode and sequence the genes and publish
papers. As he approached the floodplains, he heard a man crying for help. He
quickly got to know that person was drowning and he planned to save him. For
this, he jumped into the river signaling his friends about the plan. He went
upstream by swimming, caught hold the boy, took him onto his back, and got him
to the plains. He removed water from his body and asked where the boy lived
and took him to his house. He explained situation to his parents and also
suggested boy to learn swimming. He came back with friends and collected
samples.

4. START-UP

Story: Rahul and his friends were IIM graduates. They planned to open a startup
based on e-waste so that profit and social responsibility both could be earned.
They learnt about the process through various platforms. They took loan, opened
up a company with 100 workers. He made contacts with companies which
generated e-waste and got his trucks to get e-waste from them into his factory for
segregation. He also put special bins in various colonies for residents to dump
their electronic items. He, with his mates, divided the e-waste into four parts –
non-functional which was disposed of and repairable which was sold in market by
renovating. Metals and plastics were sent to recycler plants, and hazardous waste
dumped to government-approved sites. His branches, employees, contacts and
profits improved by leap and bounds. Rahul saved part of his profits for foreign
collaboration.
5. One person standing and people sitting

Story: Rahul was newly elected president of a self-help group which dealt in
sherbet making. He wanted to improve structure and management of his group
and sales. So he held meeting with members and told his plan. He asked the
accountant of SHG to give loans both to members and outside and to keep a
diary of all records. He even launched a training program to further up the skills
in management for its members. He ensured that each member attended the
group meeting and everyone got time to speak. Any decision was to be taken by
majority. The loan taken from bank was to be paid regularly and,therefore,
secretary was asked to keep another book for the purpose. He also got office
space and furniture and more refrigerators to preserve the product. He found out
many more ways to make the drink healthy and organic by mixing knowledge of
Ayurveda in it. He made the working quite efficient and as a result more members
joined.

6. Smoke and fire in house

Story: Rahul was preparing to go to college to give presentation. Suddenly, he


heard noise of people from neighbor’s house. To inquire, he moved out of house
and noticed smoke and fire. He immediately rushed to switch off the main power
plug. He called fire brigade and planned to put off the fire and save people. He
covered his nose from handkerchief and entered the house, keeping low with
bucket full of water. He found the source of fire and started pouring water
thereon. He signaled other neighbours to follow him with buckets in their hands
and form a human chain. He evacuated the neighbors safely, opened up the
windows and let people pour water from outside. Fire was extinguished well
before the fire brigade came. He asked the neighbours about the reason for the
fire. He went to college to give presentation and thereafter, he held a meeting
with society members and got fire safety system installed in colony.

NOTE: In the 6th story, the character went to college also. This shows that you
don’t forget your task. So, wherever you are going, just complete that task also. It
shows your sense of responsibility. Responsibility to put off fire AND responsibility
to attend the college too. People who forget their own task while managing
something different in life are not leaders. So, while our mind was busy putting off
fire, another mind must come out of the situation after handling it to drive you to
your domain task.

7. Person standing on a bridge

Rahul was just posted in Haridwar district as SDM. While he was taking rounds
and knowing the place, he saw a good opportunity to develop a river front. So,
he went onto the bridge and planned everything. He immediately called up a
meeting with forest department officials to get permission, also, talked with
contractors after floating tender, and asked them about the time to develop this
as soon as possible and also gave them a maximum time limit. He also
ascertained the expanse of the river front for walking and recreational activities.
He planned to get ferry services, bungee jumping, put food stalls, and also get a
different lane for cyclists and also put dustbins after every 20 meters. For a
month he kept the river front free, but after that, in order for maintenance put a
ticket. People came in huge numbers and enjoyed the river and scenic beauty.

The last picture i.e. 12th one will be blank. So think of something related to your
interest and hobby. Take an issue like organizing a football match etc. Bring out
qualities. YOU ARE A MAN!

Now let’s move on to WAT i.e. Word Association Test. Here students are shown
60 words one after another. The word is displayed for 15 seconds and then in that
time you have to write whatever comes up in your mind (in form of a sentence or
a word). The reason why less time is given is that you do not have time to
manipulate andyour DEEP SUBCONSCIOUS TENDENCIES get exposed, and that is
what the SSB wants to know to assess you properly. Let us understand it from a
few examples:

1. WORD: STRANGER

CANDIDATE 1: STRANGER IS AN OPPORTUNITY. STRANGER IS A FRIEND. WE MAKE


FRIENDS OUT OF STRANGERS.

CANDIDATE 2: STRANGER IS DANGER. I DON’T LIKE STRANGERS

CANDIDATE 3: STRANGER IS NOT DANGER. STRANGER IS NOT BAD.

Here, only candidate 1 was able to show social compatibility. REST 2 AND 3
couldn’t. Rather they have weak social adaptability. SOCIAL ADAPTABILITY IS
SOMETHING WHICH DEFENCE FORCES WON’T COMPROMISE WITH. THEY
COMPROMISE WITH LESS STAMINA (WHICH CAN improve AFTER TRAINING IN
ACADEMY BUT NOT SOCIAL ADAPTABILITY). Suppose a candidate has made good
stories involving friends and here he writes “STRANGER is danger”. This is really
an ISSUE. Psychologist will have to decide through other words and SRT whether
he is really socially compatible or NOT. AND TO WHICH DEGREE HE IS. DEGREES
ALSO MATTER BECAUSE up to A CERATIN LEVEL EVERY ONE OF US IS SOCIALLY
COMPATIBLE, BUT THE REQUIRED DEGREE IS important. I will give you an
example:

2. WORD: FAMILY

CANDIDATE 1: I LOVE MY FAMILY. FAMILY IS LOVE.

CANDIDATE 2: FRIENDS AND FAMILY ARE LOVE

CANDIDATE 3: India is one family

Candidate 4: Asia is one Family

CANDIDATE 5: THE WORLD IS ONE FAMILY

CANDIADTE 6: EVERYONE IS FAMILY.


CANDIDATES 5 AND 6 HAVE THE MOST SOCIAL ADAPTABLE DEGREE. YET,
CANDIDATES 2, 3, 4 ARENOT BAD. BUT IF I HAVE TO SELECT SOMEONE based on
THIS SENTENCE ONLY, THEN I would say CANDIDATE 5 AND 6 HAVE A GREAT
CONSCIOUSNESS EXPANSE. CANDIDATE 1 IS ALSO GOOD THAT HE LOVES HIS
FAMILY BUT HE IS SELF-CENTRED IF WE COMPARE IT TO OTHER CANDIDATES. SO,
THE SENTENCE THAT WE WRITE reflects on A DEGREE as well.

Let’s see few things more. SUGGESTIVE sentences MUST be avoided. Take
for example the WORD “CARE”:

WE MUST CARE FOR OTHERS. WE SHOULD CARE FOR OTHERS. CHILDREN SHOULD
CARE FOR PARENTS. SEE, there is nothing wrong in these sentences BUT WHERE
IS YOUR QUALITY? A PERSON MAY BE SITTING AARAM SE ON A BEAN BAG DOING
NOTHING JUST SAYING THESE. IMAGINE! Anyone can suggest these things! But I
want to know your mind. So, better to write “CARING FOR PARENTS GIVES
SATISFACTION”, “Caring is responsibility”. THESE SENTENCES I WANT! This shows
YOUR BEING!

Some candidates write informative sentences like for a word, say, “ARMY”, they
write “Army made deal with the US”. SEE, that’s okay. It shows that you are aware
to a certain point. But I want you to be less based on informative sentences and
more on the qualities reflective sentences. For army you can say “Army shows
unity”; “Army takes care of everyone”; “Indian army is love” orsomething like
that! Don’t write “I WANT TO JOIN INDIAN ARMY” (Do not be CLEVER TO SHOW
THE PSYCHOLOGIST THAT YOUWANT TO JOIN ARMY. DON’T DO THIS. HE already
KNOWS WHY YOU HAVE COME HERE; obvious need not be mentioned).

Likewise, take the word “SSB”:

CANDIDATE 1: SSB IS DIFFICULT / SSB IS NOT DIFFICULT

CADIDATE 2: SSB IS SUB-SET OF LIFE

CANDIDATE 2 TAKES SSB AS A LIFE. YES! THAT’S GOOD. BUT CANDIADTE 1 THINKS
THAT BY WRITING “NOT” HE CAN COVER UP THE DIFFICULTY WHICH HE FEELS
with SSB. HE IS WRONG!
The sentences of WAT should be problem-solving and not just problem
analyzing. For example, WORD “WASTE”:

CANDIDATE 1: Wastage leads to degraded economy

Candidate 2: Poor people are wastage to nation

Candidate 3: Even wastage is usable

Candidate 4: Plastic waste is used to make roads

Candidate 1 has a good sentence but he is only talking about “WHAT WASTAGE
CAN DO OR IS DOING”. This kind of candidate is not good because he knows like
everyone does; but where is the solution? Candidate 2 has grudges for poor
people and thinks he himself is not wastage but other people are! Candidates 3
and 4 have put some solutions. These are good sentences as even in WASTAGE,
they are able to provide solutions (IF IN STORIES YOU ARE PROVIDING
SOLUTIONS, THEN WHY NOT HERE).

Be a problem solver in WAT.Like, for word “DARK”, one can write “LIGHT
REMOVES DARKNESS”.

See some more examples:

WORD “DEPRESSION”

CANDIDATE 1: DEPRESSION LEADS TO SUICIDE

CANDIDATE 2: YOGA REMOVES DEPRESSION

CANDIDATE 3: PLAYING ERADICATES DEPRESSION

CANDIDATE 4: I AM VERY DEPRESSED NOWADAYS

CANDIDATE 1 HAS NOT GIVEN ANY SOLUTION, rather has shown WHAT IS THE
CASE! It is NOT A GOOD THING. Candidates 2 and 3 have given solutions
(EVERYONE IS DEPRESSED AT ONE POINT OF TIME IN LIFE, BUT HOW TO GET OUT
OF IT IS A TASK OF LEADER). CANDIDATE 4 IS about to get conference out (LOL)!
Some candidates write sentences, like for words “Courage” “Top”
“Confidence”…they write: LEADER IS COURAGEOUS, LEADER IS ALWAYSA TOPPER,
LEADER IS CONFIDENT. Don’t write these types of sentences. A LEADER IS
COURAGEOUS. OK, AGREED! BUT WHAT IS YOUR QUALITY IN THIS? YEH SAB TOH
LEADER KI HAIN NA! HOW WILL I KNOW YOU ARE A LEADER? SO, FOR THE WORD
“COURAGE”, one can write “Risking one’s life is courage”; “Taking a confident
leap is courageous”; etc.

WORD: “SUCCESS”

Candidate 1: Hard work gives success

Candidate 2: Planning gives success

Candidate 2 is at better position than candidate 1; hard work is for soldiers. A


person who puts trust in planning will succeed more! REMEMBER IN GTO WHILE
DOING PROGRESSIVE GROUP TASK, ONE WHO BECOMES RAJNEEKANT AND SAYS
MERE UPAR SAB CHADH JAAO (EVERYONE GET ABOVE ME) I WILL LIFT YOU ALL, IS
BOUND TO SUFFER. RATHER, GTO NEEDS A PLANNING MIND. So is needed here in
the sentence.

WORD: TRUTH

CANDIDATE 1: I AM TRUTHFUL

CANDIDATE 2: TRUTH PREVAILS OVER LIE

CANDIDATE 3: SIMPLICITY IS TRUTH. TRUTH IS TELLING WHAT THE CASE IS.

CANDIDATE 4: SPEAKING TRUTH, RELAXES.

Except CANDIDATE 1, EVERYONE HAS WRITTEN A GOOD PERSPECTIVE!


CANDIDATE 1 IS NOT TRUTHFUL, REST OTHERS SEEM TO BE SO,AS OF NOW!

WORD: BEAUTIFUL.

NOW DON’T WRITE “BEAUTY LIES IN THE EYES OF BEHOLDER”. STOP USING
QUOTES/PHRASES. THESE DON’T seem to be coming FROM WITHIN YOU.THOUGH
INtime of SUCH PRESSURE YOUR being ABLE TO BRING THESE QUAOTES IS NOT
BAD! BUT TRY TO MAKE A SENTENCE OF YOURS LIKE “Everyone is beautiful”,
“Nature and its creatures are beautiful”, “A good heart is beautiful”. You can
make out OLQs from it.

Don’t write sentences starting with “I”, “WE”, and “YOU”. Don’t involve yourself
directly with sentences. You look too selfish or too scared of making a different
sentence because starting the sentences with ‘I’ isrelatively easy.

WORD: “SOLVE”

Candidate 1: Solving things is complex/difficult

Candidate 2: With aim, anything can be solved.

Now you decide whom I should consider good! Obviously, the candidate 2 is
good.

In WAT, one can write a WORD FOR A WORD, for example: For the word
‘Family’, one can write ‘love’. BUT not more than twice this should happen.
Why? Because this shows you are too afraid to even complete a sentence in given
time, or in pressure sentences you don’t even come out from your mind. For
WAT, PRACTICE NEGATIVE WORDS MORE AS THEY WILL TELL YOUR QUALITIES.
DON’T LEAVE ANY WORD IN WAT. NOT EVEN A SINGLE WORD. WHEN YOU LEAVE
IT, IT CREATES A LOT OF DOUBT IN PSYCHOLOGIST’S MIND. FOR example, one of
my friends left out word “ALOOF” and I told him that he will be asked about
“FRIENDS” for sure. Exactly that happened. But he got recommended because he
was prepared to solve it. THUS, BE A PROBLEM SOLVER IN WAT!

Below are SOME WAT words along with likely good sentences; TAKE CUE
FROM THEM:

RESCUE: RESCUE WORK IS HUMANITARIAN

RELATIONS: RELATIONS GROW STRONGER BY TRUST

MISTAKES: LEARNING FROM MISTAKES HELPS US IMPROVE

FALL: RISING AFTER FALLING IS STRENGTH


CREATIVE:CREATIVE MIND SEARCHES NEW THINGS

LOYAL:LOYALTY STRENGTHENS LONGETIVITY

REACH:PROPER PLANNING HELPS IN REACHING GOALS

CONFUSE:CLEAR VISION REMOVES CONFUSION

ISSUES: MODERN SOLUTIONS HELP IN SOLVING ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

DISPUTES: DISPUTES GET RESOLVED BY CONVERSATIONS

CRISIS:KEEPING MIND CALM HELPS IN CRISIS

DISAGREE:DISAGREEMENT OFTEN GUIDES

INDICATE:A GOOD SUGGESTION INDICATES IMPROVEMENT

WEAK:WORKING ON ONESELF ERADICATES WEAKNESS

CURIOUS: CURIOSITY TO LEARN EXPANDS INTELLIGENCE

MISTRUST: UNDERSTANDING OTHERS REMOVES MISTRUST

TRIAL: GIVING TRIAL TO NEW THINGS GIVES HAPPINESS

SELFISH: SELFISHNESS GOES AWAY BY COMPASSION

SOLUTIONS:SOLUTIONS ARE ALWAYS AROUND US

LEADER: LEADER IS ALWAYS READY FOR OTHERS.

DOUBT: FINDING THINGS BY ONESELF REMOVES ALL DOUBTS.

IMPORTANT NOTE:THE WORDS IN WAT EXAM IN SSB are SET IN SUCH AN ORDER
THAT FIRST THEY TAKE YOU AT PEAK AND THEN TO VALLEY. FOR Example, HAPPY
WORDS WILL COME CONTINUOSLY AND THEN SUDDENLY A NEGATIVE WORD
WILL COME. THEY WANT YOU TO FACE DIFFICULTY WHEN YOUR MIND IS
ALREADY HIGH. AND THEN AGAIN FROM TAKING YOU TO NEGATIVITY, THE WAT
WILL LIFT UP. BUT SINCE OUR MIND HAS FACED MANY NEGATIVE WORDS
CONTINUOUSLY, IT BECOMES LITTLE HARD FOR IT TO AGAIN COME UP TO THE
BRIGHTER SIDE. LIKE, THIS HAPPENS IN OUR LIFE TOO. A BAD MORNING MAY
SPOIL OUR WHOLE DAY. BUT A PERSON, WHO COULD FACE THESE THINGS AND
CAN REMOVE SUCH NEGATIVITY FROM MIND, IS A REAL LEADER. SO BEWARE OF
THESE THINGS AND PRACTICE NEGATIVE WORDS MORE AND MORE AT HOME.

XXX

Let’s come to SRT i.e. Situation Reaction Test. Here 60 situations shall be given to
you and 30 minutes overall be allotted to you to solve. You will have to write what
a person “DID” when he confronted with an issue. So, questions will come like….

SRT 1: HE WAS RUNNING towards his house to meet his ailing mother. There was
a BIG NAALA in front of him. HE…?

WHO IS “HE” here? It’s YOU! How much big is the NAALA? Obviously, whatever
your psychology allows it to be! It can be a big naala of 1 meter or 100kms or
infinitely big that you are never able to cross it! THEREFORE, THE POINT IS to
adopt the way toDIMINISHTHE PROBLEM OR THE SRT IN YOUR MIND. TAKE THE
NAALA TO BE JUST, SAY, 1 METRE and thus write: “He met his mother by jumping
the Naala”. Why did I write aim first, that is, met his mother first? THAT SHOWS
MY AIM IN MIND! I COULD HAVE WRITTEN LIKE THIS ALSO: HE JUMPED OVER THE
NAALA AND MET HIS MOTHER (BUT THIS DOESN’T SHOW THE DETERMINATION
FIRST). SO A DETERMINATION/AIM/PLAN THAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE SHOULD
COME FIRST LIKE “MET HIS MOTHER” AND THEN HOW YOU CROSSED IT can come
LATER ON! NOW SUPPOSEA LESS CONFIDENT CANDIDATE WANTS TO CROSS THIS
NAALA, HE WILL THINK “OH SHIT! SUCH A BIG NAALA, HOW WILL I CROSS IT?
OMG! I WILL HAVE TO TAKE A SHIP/JET TO CROSS THIS!” Thus, he is in difficulty.
PSYCHOLOGY IS ALL ABOUT YOUR MIND. HOW YOU PERCEIVE IT.

SRT 2: HIS parents aren’t agreeing him to marry a girl of his choice. He shall…?

Why did SSB write “HE” in every SRT? Because if they had written “I”, you would
have obviously responded easily and bragged about yourself which would be
fake! WHAT YOU THINK “HE” (THE OTHER PERSON) CAN DO, IS WHAT YOU CAN
DO! Isn’t it? For example, a person who clears SSB in one go, will always say “IT’s
EASY, TUM BHI KAR LOGE”…because he has done it! Now consider a person who
is a failure will say “Tumse na ho paayega”. Thus, THE “HE” is “YOU”. Now coming
back to SRT, the solution should be “He married the girl of his choice by first
listening to parents and then putting his good views about the girl” (The italics
words means the Aim has been served….how? by first listening to others. That
means you listen to others and then speak with better points). DON’T WRITE “HE
SAID OKAY PAPA! AS YOU SAY” (DO YOU THINK THAT WILL SHOW YOUR
OBEDIENCE? NOT AT ALL. The SSBs DON’T WANT such OBEDIENT PEOPLE. SO IN
SELF DESCRIPTIONS ALSO DON’T WRITE THIS).

SRT 3: It was DARK NIGHT. EVERYONE WAS SLEEPING. HE SAW A COBRA SITTING
ON HIS SLEEPING BROTHER’S CHEST. HE…?

WHY DID SSB WRITE “DARK NIGHT?” TO SCARE YOU! But you should IMAGINEA
BRIGHT LIGHT! A COBRA IS JUST a few inches long! CHOTU SA! NOW WHAT WILL
YOU DO? HE KILLED THE COBRA (NO ANIMAL LOVERS PLEASE POKE THEIR NOSE)
by first waiting for the cobra to get off the chest and killed him with stick!
STUDENTS WRITE LIKE “HE CALLED SNAKE CHARMER/SANPERA”. NOW TELL ME!
IF SANPERA HAD TO BE CALLED, WHERE IS YOUR QUALITY? TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
ON YOUR SHOULDERS! DON’T SAY I AWOKE EVERYONE AND BROTHER ALSO!
PEHLE BHAI KAATEGA SAANP KO, FIR SAANP BHAI KO! HAHA! PLEASE AVOID!

THESE SRTS ALWAYS HAVE BIG-BIG WORDS LIKE “DARK”, “VERY COLD”, “SCARY”,
“HUGE”. IT’S JUST TO SCARE YOU! DON’T BE AFRAID! Take SRT: IT WAS A VERY
COLD MORNING. GEYSER WASN’T WORKING. HE HAD AN INTERVIEW. HE…?

CANDIDATE 1: HE DIDN’T TAKE BATH AND WENT FOR INTERVIEW

CANDIDATE 2: HE PUT HOT WATER ON GAS AND THEN WENT FOR INTERVIEW

CANDIDATE 3: HE SKIPPED THE INTERVIEW

CANDIDATE 4: HE WOKE UP TO REALISE IT WAS A DREAM

Candidate 5: He went for interview by taking bath first hesitantly and then saying
“Om Namah shivay”
CANDIDATE 6: HE WENT FOR INTERVIEW BY TAKING BATH AND GOT THE GEYSER
REPAIRED

Candidate 6 is selected due to an aim in mind; he didn’t hesitate and also got the
geyser repaired (shows sense of responsibility. This kind of candidate will not
leave his men behind in Defence job). Candidate 5 is close but he is hesitant still
and taking help of mantras to get rid! Very less confidence! Candidate 4 is like the
same people who write IT WAS a PLAY/Drama in the story. Candidate 3 is the one
who runs from battle field first! Candidate 2 is lover of luxury, won’t adjust in
difficult circumstances! Candidate 1 is LAZY, SCARED.

It is also wrong to WRITE LIKE THIS: “HE DIDN’T FEEL SCARED AND TOOK
BATH IN COLD WATER”. IF YOU DIDN’T FEEL SCARED, THEN WHY ARE YOU
bragging IT? THAT MEANS YOU ARE SCARED! BUT JUST TO SHOW THE
PSYCHOLOGIST that YOU AREN’T, YOU ARE COVERING UP WITH THESE
SENTENCES.

SOME SAME-LOOKING/CONFUSING SRTS are GIVEN BELOW:

SRT 4: one person puts a riffle on your head and asks for wallet

Solution: Gave him wallet and reported to police

SRT 5: one person puts riffle on girls head and molests her

Solution: He saved the girl BY dashing towards the person, caught the person and
called police

(IN SRT 4, THE WALLET IS ONLY AT STAKE…GIVE IT….IN SRT 5…GIRL’S life IS AT
STAKE…DON’T LEAVE IT)

SRT 6: Three WELL-BUILT PEOPLE MOLESTING A GIRL. HE…?

SOLUTION: He saved the girl by running towards them and shouting police. HE
caught hold one of them and handed to police. (HERE THREE WELL BUILT PEOPLE
MEANS LILYPUT TYPE PEOPLE. IMAGINE THEM TO BE JUST 4 FEET TALL. ONE SLAP
AND THEY ARE GONE! THIS WILL HELP YOU SOLVE THE ISSUE)
Now some SRTs are planning-based, like “He was to organize a fest in college.
He…” Now don’t simply write “He organized”. They are asking HOW! So, tell them
your plan in short!

SRT “His mom is ill, and he has office”. He…?

Solution: Took care of mother (responsibility) and worked from home


(responsibility) by taking permission from boss (shows confidence that he will give
you). Those people who don’t have GOOD bosses should also FEEL from inside
that your boss will grant you leave! SHOW CONVINCING SKILLS (OLQ). Now
suppose the SRT is “HIS boss is not allowing having him leave and his mother is
sick. HE..? SOLUTION: He asked for Neighbors help till then and went to office.
YOUR NEIGHBOURS ARE GOOD! IN BIBLE IT’s written “LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR”,
because it’s the neighbors only that we don’t like! It is wrong. SOME WILL SAY
“YOU DON’T KNOW MY NEIGHBOURS! THEY ARE BAD!” But I ask them, if I ask the
same thing to them, then?Since everyone is a friend in this world, why not
neighbors?

SRT: It was getting dark in the forest. He lost his way. He…?

Solution: He found the way by taking cue from stars.

SRT: He lost his bag in the train. Tomorrow is his SSB. He…?

Solution: HE attended the SSB, by first, borrowing money from a co-passenger


(BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE THAT THEY GIVE HELP WHEN ASKED. THIS SHOWS YOUR
CONFIDENCE AND SOCIAL ADAPTABILITY),lodged FIR, took print out of the
documents and borrowed dress from SSB mates (shows they are not in
competition with you that they won’t give you). Every person is good! Keep in
mind! DON’T WRITE: AND, HE GOT RECOMMENDED (IT’S NOT WHAT THEY ASKED.
THEY WANTED TO KNOW WHETHER YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ATTEND THE SSB
TOMORROW OR NOT).

SRT: A person snatched a woman’s jewelry and ran. He…?

Solution: He caught the person (confidence!) by chasing him down (determination


and confidence), took jewelry from him and gave it to lady and lodged FIR. DON’T
WRITE HE WILL TRY TO CATCH THE PERSON! WHY WILL HE TRY? WILL HE NOT
CATCH HIM! SO, YOU WRITE that HE CAUGHT HIM! NOT that HE WILL TRY TO
CATCH AND THEN HE WILL RUN FAST, TAKE CAB ALSO TO CATCH HIM, THEN HE
WILL REMOVE HIS SHOES TO CATCH HIM…WHY HAVE YOU MADE HIM USAIN
BOLT? BECAUSE YOU HAVE MADE YOURSELF HANDICAPPED! LOW CONFIDENCE!

Cute SRT: He saw a cat chasing a mouse. HE..?

SOLUTION: He enjoyed. DON’T BE AN ANIMAL LOVER HERE SHOWING VERY


MUCH COMPASSION IN ORDER TO IMPRESS THE PSYCHOLOGIST AND SAY HE
SEPARATED THEM BOTH BECAUSE IT’S THE INJUSTICE AGAINST NATURE! Though
YOU may put a smile on psychologist’s face but won’t get a letter of appreciation
from him! YOU ARE CHILDISH. Thus, not in every situation you have to be very
serious or follow a pattern. Everything will depend on situation to situation! Just
diminish the problem given! Be confident!

SRT: he got his cycle broken at midnight while coming to house. HE..?

Solution: He will reach home by walking and taking cycle along and get the cycle
repaired (THIS IS IMPORTANT TO GET THINGS REPAIRED).

SRT: HE WAS STUDYING FOR TOMORROW’S EXAM BUT HIS FRIENDS WERE
DISTURBING HIM. HE…? NOW MANY CANDIDATES (IN ORDER TO SHOW
CONFIDENCE AND a sort of OLQ) WRITE “HE SHOUTED AT THEM OR HE CHANGED
HIS ROOM AND SHUT THE DOOR”. THIS IS WRONG! Rather you could have
written “HE took exam by continuing studies by REQUESTING friends.” (SEE, FIRST
I WROTE THE AIM, LIKE taking EXAM, then THEN I WROTE REQUEST. YOUR
FRIENDS WILL LISTEN TO YOU JUST THINK LIKE THAT! THEY too WANT YOUR
GOOD).

SRT: He was going on duty and suddenly a landslide came. HE…? Now imagine
yourself in it. Wait for landslide to pass. DON’T WRITE “HE DIDN’T CARE FOR
SMALL THINGS”. SO, WRITE “HE JOINED HIS DUTY BY FIRST WAITING FOR
LANDSLIDE TO END, REMOVING DEBRIS TO SIDE WITH CO-TRAVELLERS AND
INFORMING DISTRICT AUTHORITY”.
SRTs like…He saw two armed men in Train or heard footsteps outside his house
must not be solved by writing HE CAUGHT THE TWO MEN, BEAT THEM OR WENT
OUTSIDE HOME AND GAVE THEM TO THE POLICE! NO!! TRAIN MEIN RAAT MEIN
TWO ARMED MEIN ARE CRPF WALE ONLY (IT’S YOUR MIND THAT WENT
NEGATIVE HERE)…AND OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE THERE MAYBE SOMEONE TALKING
TO SOMEONE…SOME FELLOW CITIZEN OF YOUR COLONY. WILL YOU STILL BEAT
HIM WITHOUT KNOWING THE ISSUE? Some candidates also write (which is
wrong): he will first enquire if they are CRPF men and are not taking actions (WHY
ARE YOU CONFUSED THAT THEY ARE NOT? THE SRT IS ASKED HERE NOT TO SEE
YOUR BRAVERY BUT TO SEE THE POSITIVITY OF THE MIND BECAUSE
BRAVERY/CONFIDENCE can be SHOWN IN those SRTs where situation clearly
depicts, like: “TWO ROBBERS WERE INSIDE THE TRAIN OR TWO MISCREANTS
WERE OUTSIDE THE HOUSE”. Here you show bravery. Not with “armed men” or
“unknown people outside without clear mention in SRT that they are Miscreants
or robbers”.

Special Note for Women Candidates: YOU WILL BE GIVEN SRTs which will make
you do things to break your “beauty”. Like, SHE WAS TOLD TO GO INTO DRAIN
AND CLEAN IT FROM SCHOOL. SHE..? NOW many candidates would write that she
called “SAFAI WALE BHAIYA”. SEE, they are asking such questions because they
want to see if you are still that MAKE-UP delicate GIRL OR YOU ARE A WOMAN
WHO IS INDEPENDENT AND DOESN’T CARE FOR THESE PETTY THINGS. SO,
SOLUTION WOULD BE: SHE WENT INTO DRAIN; TOOK OUT GARBAGE BY HER
OWN HAND AND ENCOURAGED HER FRIENDS TO COME DOWN.

One more SRT: SHE WAS TO GO INTO ACADEMY AND CUT HER LONG PRETTY
HAIR. SHE…? SOLUTION: SHE LOVED THE NEW LOOK.

Women may ALSO BE GIVEN SRTs RELATED TO MONKEY, COCKROACHES


etc., to see their reaction. YOU must KNOW WHAT TO DO! WALK STRAIGHT BY
IGNORING THE MONKEYS AND KILLING THE COCKROACH BY SLIPPERS! (It’s
simple, DO TRY THIS AT HOME). Also, in many SRTs it’s asked that “SHE HAS A
BABY WITH HER AND SHE WANTED TO HAVE A TOUR LIKE SHE ALWAYS DID.
SHE…?” NOW BABY IS NOTHING BUT RESPONSIBILITY. SO, YOU WILL TOUR as well
as TAKE CARE OF BABY ALSO AT the SAME TIME! DON’T SIT BACK AT HOME.
ALSO, IN MANY SRTs, MOTHER-IN-LAW is introduced in any form. Please,
understand, SHE IS YOUR MOTHER AND SHE IS YOUR FRIEND, AND ACT
ACCORDINGLY. SHE WILL HELP YOU AND YOU WILL HELP HER IN EVERY
SITUATION WHATSOEVER (EVEN IF THE SRT SAYS SASU MAA IS ANGRY). IN MANY
SRTs the Luggage will be given to you (very heavy) and no one is helping. She…?
Answer is,she will pick each and every item by herself! (STAMINA AND SELF
INDEPENDENCE AND CONFIDENCE IS SEEN). A thief has come to your window and
you noticed him. WHY CALL THE POLICE? “GRAB HIM AND THEN CALL POLICE” (IF
POLICE only HAD TO BE CALLED, THEN WHERE WILL YOUR QUALITY COME IN THIS
CASE). YOUR BOSS IS YOUR FRIEND (HE/SHE GIVES YOU LEAVE WHEN ASKED).
YOUR IN-LAWS ARE YOUR FRIENDS. EVERYONE IS YOUR FRIEND! WHEN YOU
BELIEVE THIS, YOUR SRTs will show social compatibility naturally. FEEL ONE WITH
OTHERS IN REAL LIFE AND ONLY THEN SRTs will give you a natural response. If
there are 10 men harassing someone and police station is very far (SRT), you will
save that person by making noise, gathering attention of everyone and catching at
least one of them. You will call police; and will ask the person if he/she is okay!
WHEN RESPONIBILITY OF LIFE IS THERE, FIGHT! But, say, when 10 people
surround you for WALLET, then GIVE because at stake is just a wallet!

NOW suppose, HE has come to see a CIRCUS AND A TIGER SUDDENLY POUNCES
ON THE AUDIENCE. HE…? SOLUTION: HE BROUGHT SITUATION IN CONTROL&
ASSURED them BY LURING THE TIGER TOWARDS HIM BY MAKING NOISE AND
PUTTING HIM IN CAGE WITH HELP OF RING MASTER. ALSO, SUPPOSE, HE WAS
WALKING IN A JUNGLE AND SUDDENLY HE SEES A TIGER IN FRONT. HE…?
SOLUTION: HE LET THE TIGER PASS AWAY BY STANDING STILL (confidence is in
standing there and not running).

One more SRT: There was a hole in the boat in middle of the river. He..? (MIDDLE
OF THE RIVER HAS BEEN SAID SO THAT YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO TAKE HELP OF
ANYONE, AND TO MAKE THINGS LOOK SCARY!). SOME PEOPLE WRITE THAT THEY
DIND’T FEAR (You DIDN’T FEAR, ok,but WHY are you mentioning it?) AND JUMPED
IN THE RIVER, and they CALLED POLICE and HELPERS). SOLUTION IS inmaking THE
HOLE DIMINISH. IMAGINE THE HOLE IS JUST 2 INCHES. SO, HE GOT THE BOAT TO
THE DESTINATION BY PUTTING HIS FEET/ SOCKS/ SOME MATERIAL IN THE HOLE;
AND,heINFORMED THE BOAT OWNER ABOUT THE HOLE IN THE BOAT! AB BANE
NA TUM HERO! AMUL MAACHO! BADE AARAM SE!

DO ATLEAST 50 SRTS in the SSB. I KNOW MANY CANDIDATES WHO DO EVEN 30


AND GET RECOMMENDED. BUT IT’S NOT GOOD.HAVE a lot of THOUGHT ON EACH
AND THEN DECIDE WHAT TO DO. ACCORDING TO A PSYCHOLOGIST (family
friend), they don’t give respect to those who did only 20 or 30! If at all they are
recommended, it may bedue to recommendation from the OTHER TWO
members.

DON’T BREAK THE CIRCUIT: Suppose someone copies the WAT like, “stranger is a
friend” without actually feeling so from within you, then, naturally, you will
happen to write a story which will involve “trust deficit” with other characters.
You may end up writing that he ran away, particularly in SRT like, ‘he was in
Nagaland and he saw Nagas approaching.’ You may not write “he greeted them
with smile and noticed their attires and made them friends” because somewhere
from inside you feel that strangers are danger! THIS IS CALLED BREAKING THE
CIRCUIT – WHEN YOU LIGHT UP SAY, WAT, BUT PUT OFF THE STORY AND SRT OR
COPY THE STORY, BUT IN WAT AND SRT YOU DON’T SHOW COHERENCE.
Therefore, to lighten up your psychology tests, these THREE (STORY, WAT AND
SRT) must be in coherence. If the character is a good planner, then automatically
in WAT and SRT planning with respective quality will be shown. Otherwise, the
psychologist will doubt your real intention and is bound to catch you somewhere
or the other. Even a single loop hole creates doubt in mind of psychologist. Thus,
the best way is to develop a personality having OLQs. Think that you are a good
planner; read stories of people who planned out; plan your own activities at
home. Make new friends. You will see that your mind, body and soul improve day
by day. “WHAT YOU THINK, YOU BECOME”-BUDDHA.

XXX
LET’S LOOK AT THE SELF DESCRIPTION NOW. In this, you are made to write 5
paragraphs starting from what your parents think about yourself; what your
teachers/boss think about you; what your friends think about you; what you think
about yourself. And last paragraph is about what kind of person you would like to
be in future. You are given 15 mins for this task. Don’t leave any paragraph saying
that you had less time or you couldn’t manage. This gives indication to the
psychologist that you are not good at organizing things well. So, write short and
crisp but complete in time.

According to psychology, what you think “THEY” think about you


is nothing but something that you think about yourself! No one really KNOWS
what the other person thinks. We just decipher. One person may think that his
parents hate him, but in reality, parents cannot hate their children! Ultimately
you are the mirror and others are also mirrors. What you see through them is
nothing but what you see in yourself! So, these 5 paragraphs are YOU only
thinking about you through different people! In these paragraphs just bring out
your OLQs without mentioning (LIKE the TAT). You may say: my parents think that
I am helping them in their daily needs. My friends think that I am good at sports
and give them books to read. I feel that I take care of everyone and also help in
home management etc. YOU WILL NOT WRITE “I THINK THAT I AM SOCIALLY
COMPATIBLE OR I ADJUST WITH PEOPLE EASILY OR I MAKE FRIENDS WITH EVEN
BAD PEOPLE”. NEVER! If YOU are SHOWING that YOU ADJUST WITH PEOPLE, it
would show that YOU “ADJUST” ULTIMATELY. Do not write THIS KIND OF
SENTENCES! JUST FOCUS ON HELPING NATURE MORE AND BRING OUT YOUR
OLQs. Like, my teachers think that I participate in school activities and I am above
average in studies, etc. Also, DON’T WRITE THAT YOU ARE “INTROVERT”, “SHY”,
“OBEDIENT”.

In each paragraph you will write one thing that your parents, teachers, friends
and you don’t much like about you/self. Like, you can say SOMETIMES like, MY
PARENTS THINK THAT I am not good at say General studies. (SAY SOMETHING
WHICH CAN BE IMPROVED. DON’T SAY, MY PARENTS THINK THAT I GET ANGRY,
GET DEPRESSED EASILY, AND GET SAD). WRITE something which is NOT BAD
MORALLY andwhich can be improved easily. In the Paragraph at last, you can
write: I want to be a person who serves the nation with utmost respect;who
improves verbal skills, GS; and can help more and more people. 3-4 lines each
paragraph will do! This is not much important test in psychology;it is just a
confirmation test! It’s just the cherry on the cake! CAKE HAS BEEN MADE FROM
TAT, WAT, AND SRT! Make it sweet! Make it real! And let the psychologist enjoy
it. YOU WON’T admire YOUR CAKE! Let you be a good person! Automatically
these rules will follow in your life. THIS COMPLETES PSYCHOLOGY TEST!

XXX

GTO:The Moment GTO enters the room he wishes everyone and then asks
some questions, such as, how are you all doing? Where did you all go yesterday!
THIS IS THE TIME YOU SHOW THAT YOU ARE PARTICIPATIVE! ANSWER HIM! Tell
him in a much planned manner.Like, Sir,I went to THREE places: first THIS, second
THAT and Third There! Put a smile on face! Backbone erect!

Let’s move to Group discussion.

In The GTO, it’s never between you and the candidates. It is always between you
and HIM (GTO). In GD, it’s not about CURRENT AFFAIRS but the 15 OLQs only.
HOW YOU PLAN the GD point-wise; FOR HOW LONG YOU SPEAK AT A TIME; HOW
YOU BRING OUT MORE GOOD and sound POINTS IN SUCH A TENSE SITUATION
SHOWS YOUR MIND’S LEVEL. Important it as to HOW YOU REACT WHEN YOUR
MATES COUNTER YOU; HOW YOU SPEAK (POWER OF EXPRESSION); WHAT TOPIC
YOU CHOOSE SHOWS THE LEVEL OF YOUR MIND; YOUR MATURITY;THE
DETERMINATION (OLQs) TO SPEAK EVEN WHEN SOMEONE INTERUPTS YOU. ARE
YOU A NEGATIVE PERSON WHO BLAMES PEOPLE/NATION THROUGH YOUR
CURRENT AFFAIRS? DO YOU FIND LIGHT IN DARKNESS THROUGH CURRENT
AFFAIRS? THE CURRENT AFFAIRS ARE JUST A TOOL TO SEE YOUR QUALITIES.
CURRENT AFFAIRS NEVER MAKE SOMEONE AN OFFICER! GTO USES IT TO SEE
YOUR QUALITIES. DO YOU SPEAK JUST FOR 4-5 SECONDS ONLY SAYING “YES, YES I
AGREE?” OR, YOU PUT YOUR OWN POINT IRRESPCTIVE OF THE LEVEL OF YOUR
Group? CAN YOU TELL something ABOUT FUTURE OR AIM OF THE COUNTRY? CAN
YOU LOOK AHEAD? OR YOU JUST TALK ABOUT BHOPAL GAS DISASTER ONLY?
WHAT YOU CHOOSE IS YOUR LEVEL OF MIND (A kid will choose doll; a man will
choose Nation’s call).DON’T BLAME PEOPLE THROUGH YOUR CURRENT AFFAIRS.
USE THE TOPIC JUDICIOUSLY. WHAT YOU SPEAK, HOW YOU SPEAK all goes IN THE
JARS OF OLQs? (GTO IS NOT MAKING NOTES OF IAS EXAM FROM YOUR GD.
REMEMBER THIS). GTO IS LOOKING AT YOUR MIND. YOUR MIND IS WHAT YOU
SPEAK THROUGH CURRENT AFFAIRS’s GD. For example,whenyou speak that India
has potential to surpass any nation in, say, space science, GTO LOOKs AT YOUR
MIND. LIKE, WHICH PART OF YOUR BRAIN IS FUNCTIONING WHEN YOU SAID
THIS? FOR GTO, YOU ARE CONFIDENT, DETERMINED WHEN YOU SAID THIS. HE
WILL NOT note INDIA, SPACE SCIENCE or the like, IN HIS NOTES. IF A candidate
SPEAKS LIKE THIS: “FRIENDS AS YOU ALL KNOW, THERE ARE MAINLY THREE
POINTS WHICH CAN GIVE US THE BETTER SOLUTIONS, FIRST IS THIS, SECOND IS
THIS AND THIRD IS THIS”. WHAT MADE THIS SENTENCE SO SPECIAL? HAVE A
CLOSER LOOK: THE PERSON SAID “FRIENDS”. It MEANS HE IS SOCIALLY
COMPATIBLE. HE SAID “AS YOU ALL KNOW”. IT MEANS THAT HE DOESN’T TAKE
ANY CHARACTER TO BE WEAK (SEEING WEAKNESS IN OTHERS SHOWS YOUR own
WEAKNESS. REMEMBER STORY, WHERE EVERY CHARCTER IS AS STRONG AS THE
HERO). WHEN HE SAID, THERE ARE “THREE POINTS”, IT SHOWED AIM IN MIND
THAT he WANTS TO PUT FORWARD. WHEN HE SAID ALL THE POINTS i.e.
FIRST,SECOND AND THIRD, IT SHOWED his ORGANIZING ABILITY. IF he COULD
SPEAK THESE things WITHOUT GETTING DISTURBED BY ANYONE, SHOWS THAT he
HAS A SENSE OF DETERMINATION (HE WANTED TO SPEAK, and he did SPEAK ALL
POINTS). BUT SUPPOSE, SOMEONE INTERRUPTS him, DOEShe SHUT HIM DOWN
by reacting OR by SHOWING ANGER OR DOESHE VERY CALMLY REQUESTS HIM TO
LET his POINTS BE COMPLETED? These are important. As a candidate YOU COULD
also SAY THAT “FRIENDS! SINCE PLANNING HELPS ACHIEVE GOALS, INDIA MUST
PLAN FOR FUTURE SO AS TO DO THESE THINGS; our strong will also help us
achieve this”. YOU COULD SAY “FRIENDS! SINCE ALL ARE OUR FRIENDS, PARENTS
ARE ALSO OUR FRIENDS ONLY AND IN THIS SCENARIO, SUICIDES ARE DUE TO SAY
COMPETITION AND NOT PARENTAL PRESSURE”. YOU MAY SAY “GENTLEMEN! A
STRONG WILL HELP US ACHIEVE ANYTHING IN LIFE, SO THE PERSON WHO IS
GREAT WILLED SHALL NEVER SUICIDE”. If someone says: “Friends! Parental
pressure leads students to suicide, because pressure can make us do anything”.
This will show your own mind that, in pressure, you have tendency to do extreme
things. YOU could say: “FRIENDS! INDIA AND PAKISTAN MUST CONVERSE with
EACH OTHER SINCE CONVERSATIONS ARE SOLUTIONS TO MANY PROBLEMS”
((THE HIGHLIGHTED PORTIONS ARE NOTHING BUT WAT OF PSYCHOLOGY).

In GD, SSB will give you TWO topics and you have to choose a topic that you want
to discuss. One topic will be difficult and the other easy. Difficult would be
somewhat like, INDIA-CHINA RELATION, NUCLEAR DEAL, etc. Easy one would be
on environment, pollution i.e. MORE civilian/social. CHOOSE tough one! That
shows the level of your group! And convince your friends to take that topic! Even
if they don’t choose this topic, it’s okay! It’s not about GD; it’s about your
psychology ultimately. In a topic of GD, the GTO will also give you three options to
pick. For example, he will say “What is the reason for rising suicides in India?”,
and then he will give you three options and you need to pick ONE. In the whole
GD you are supposed to prove that point. So, first option could be that suicides
are due to parental pressure; second could be that it’s due to increasing
competition; and third maybe due to persons own weak will. So, Choose the point
judiciously otherwise the GTO will think that YOU THINK THAT PARENTS PUT
PRESSURE AND THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE FIRST OPTION. SO BEWARE!
CHOOSE THE TOPIC WHICH BLAMES NONE! Through GD, the SSB wants to take
your qualities out! HOW YOU SPEAK, HOW YOU COUNTER WITH MORE VALID
ARGUMENTS. ARE YOU ABLE TO GIVE MATURE VIEWS OR YOU JUST GIVING
CHILDISH ARGUMENTS? Like, on a topic of environment, people can say
“Nowadays we can see pollution going up”. Now this is a poor argument and very
nursery kind. This shows your level of mind and LACK of effective intelligence.
They are looking for a candidate who can give terms like “COP, UNFCCC, PARIS
AGREEMENT, and SOME REPORT on LIKE FORESTRY, etc. and then give argument.
You just have to speak 4-5 times, that too,about 15 seconds at a time! SO, speak a
quality thing! And plan your argument, like:Friends! There are three agreements
between the US and INDIA (this shows your advance plan as towhat you will
speak about when you said THREE). Speak something from CURRENT TOPIC. Be
problem-solver here also! Don’t say “Friends! I don’t think India can surpass the
USA.” This shows lot of lack of confidence! Also, talk about future, like: Friends, by
2040 India would have dash dash. Also, talk about SAARC, ASEAN shows you
believe in cooperation! DON’T SAY “TALKS CANNOT DO ANYTHING. PAKISTANIS
ARE BAD. I WANT TO KILL THEM. LET’S KILL THEM. SHUT UP! YOU CHEST NUMBER
1. LET HIM SPEAK, HE HASN’T GOT ANY TIME (ARE YOU HIS LAWYER OR YOU
WANNA SHOW YOURSELF VERY FRIENDLY HERE?)”. ALSO, NOTICE YOUR FACE
WHEN SOMEONE COUNTERS YOU or SCOLDS YOU THERE. BE NORMAL! GTO IS
WATCHING YOUR WORDS AND HOW YOU SPEAK RATHER THAN NOTICING “INDIA
AND USA”. It’s a GAME basically where we are engrossed in the GD and GTO is
watching other things! He is making us play this and through this, he is catching
some other things! CAN A PERSON WHO IS VERY GOOD AT INFORMATION AT G.K.
BUT SHUTS PEOPLE DOWN AND POINTS FINGER AT OTHERS, BE RECOMMENDED?
NO! BECAUSE IT’S NOT ABOUT G.K.! It’s about cooperation, self confidence,
determination, organizing your points, power of expression. DON’T GIVE MUCH
IMPORTANCE TO ENGLISH. DON’T BE DISHEARTENED. JUST FOCUS ON THE
NATURE OF YOUR TALKS! THE WAY YOU ARE PLANNING;the MATURE POINTS that
you make. SOMETIMES, THE GROUP DISCUSSION BECOMES STALE AND POINTS
ARE BEING REPEATED BY CANDIDATES. NOW, it’s your time to COME UP with a
NEW POINT: Something which is relevant to the GD but THAT ANGLE HASN’T
BEEN TOUCHED BY ANY OF THE CANDIDATES. THIS IS CALLED OUT-OF-THE-BOX
THINKING. Don’t be motivated by OTHERS’ POINTS, RATHER BRING A BETTER
POINT THAN others! Speak not more than 5times per GD. It’s enough! BUT
WHENEVER YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH ENSURE THAT YOU SPEAK QUALITY!
Remember: WHOEVER IS BEST AT GD OR DOES GOOD, HIS POINTS ARE ALWAYS
LISTENED BY OTHER CANDIDATES OUTSIDE IN PROGRESSIVE GROUP TASKS etc.
WHY? Because they FEEL YOU KNOW better THAN THEM! YOU indirectly
DOMINATE in other fields via GD and Group planning exercise.

After Two GDs, Group Planning Exercise will be there! He will show you a map to
work on by your group of 8-10 people. And some issues have arisen. What you
will do, is what he is seeing. First you will be given paper to write about your plan
and then you discuss amongst yourselves and make a common story!

Always LEARN TO ORGANIZE THINGS. Like,write on paper like: Tasks to do


(priority-wise), RESOURCES GIVEN,RESOURCES ASSUMED.(This is important. This
shows that your mind imagines things which are not even given. Like, when
others are just imagining a temple, you could imagine cycles, bikes, cars parked
there, etc. This type of mind in war situation will always look at things what
others MISS OUT!) Then you write,action to be taken: Firstly, you will divide the
group into dash dash (this shows your organizing skills). Allot people tasks to do:
Group A will go to ____ via this mode of transport in these many minutes (you
calculate time taken to reach a place); Group B will do DASH; and at last all meet
at a certain point and move forward to the task (jiske liye aaye the), and so on.

Secret: Take your responsibility! Like, if goons are coming to loot a temple, then
stand with stick in hand and alert the temple authority. So, say: Group A with stick
in hand will catch the goons and call police and inform temple management. THIS
IS YOUR TASK! SHOW CONFIDENCE HERE! SUPPOSE IN THE CONFERENCE THEY
ASK YOU “ARE YOU SURE GOONS WILL GO AWAY?” SAY, YES SIR! THIS GP IS SRT
ONLY OF PSYCHOLOGY! IF YOU CHASED THE GOONS THERE IN SRT WHY NOT
HERE? AND ALSO CONVINCE THE GROUP TO TAKE YOUR POINT! PLAN, ORAGNIZE
EVERYTHING WELL AND BE CONFIDENT! A RAILWAY fatak (Railway crossing)
always has a person and he also has red flag. He can stop any train, inform
everyone! SO, a rail crossing has a person, don’t forget that! SO, hidden things
show your skills of mind! On the road, you can take LIFT (REMEMEBER YOU TOOK
LIFE WHEN a PERSON WAS INJURED IN a STORY BECAUSE STRANGER IS A FRIEND).
Don’t over dominate your group! The person who is bleeding in front is always
your first priority! IF YOU SEE TERRORISTS, THEN ATLEAST FIND OUT WHERE THEY
ARE HIDING; ALERT THE VILLAGERS, KEEP A WATCH ON THEIR MOVEMENTS AND
INFORM THE POLICE. GOONS/MISCREANTS ARE DIFFERENT FROM TERRORISTS!
REMEMBER THAT!

Now let’s come to Progressive Group Task (PGT): Here you will be given a
rope, a balli, plank and would be told by GTO to cross some hurdles. NONE HAS
BECOME AN OFFICER BY DOING BALLI-FATTA AND LEARNING TO TIE A ROPE.
WELL! It’s your attitude towards these things that matters. CAN YOU INFLUENCE
YOUR GROUP TO YOUR IDEAS? CAN YOU COOPERATE WITH THEM? CAN YOU
ASSURE THAT EVERY MEMBER OF YOUR GROUP IS LIKE YOUR FAMILY AND YOU
ARE THE HEAD OF IT? THINK OF IT! THEY ARE NOT YOUR RIVALS; they are YOUR
OWN GROUP! FEEL UNITY WITH THEM! GIVE AS MANY IDEAS AS YOU CAN AND
SHOW THEM THE WAY! BE THE GUIDE! BUT BEFORE EXECUTING THE
PROGRESSIVE GROUP TASK, PLAN WITH YOUR MATES FIRST! EVERYONE WILL
LISTEN TO YOU (say things with such confidence). Love your mates, have empathy
with them! Listen to them too and if you THINK YOU HAVE BETTER PLAN, TELL
THEM AND SHOW THEM HOW! THIS IS LIKE AN SRT: HE AND HIS FRIENDS WERE
DOING A TASK. HE…? SOLUTION: HE PLANNED WITH HIS GROUP FIRST HOW THE
TASK WILL TAKE PLACE! HE GAVE AS MANY GOOD IDEAS, CONVINCED and
GROUP, SHOWED THEM THE RIGHT WAY AND ALSO LISTENED TO THEIR
POINTS.What matters is your attitude towards the candidates while doing the
task. THIS IS A SITUATION AND SSB is SEEING YOUR REACTION: FACIAL, BODILY,
VERBAL. A candidate doing a task without planning first with his mates is not what
GTO likes. First plan, then go! Remember story? That’s right! A candidate saying
“you won’t get it, you will not be able to do, why aren’t you all listening to me?” it
isn’t what GTO likes. Then what does GTO LIKE?HE LIKES WHEN SOMEONE SAYS
“ok friend! Your plan is good (first listening to others) BUT I have a better plan and
I will show you”. This is same as an SRT WHICH IS LIKE THIS: HE WAS HAVINGGD;
HIS FRIENDS were NOT LISTENING OR AGGREEING TO HIM. HE..? SOLUTION: HE
WILL CONVINCE HIS FRIENDSBY GIVING BETTER ARGUMENT IN GD. THE
PROGRESSIVE GROUP TASK IS PROGRESSIVE IN TERMS OF DIFFICULTIES. EACH
TASK HAS 4 PARTS, STARTING WITH EASIEST. WHY HAVE THEY MADE THINGS LIKE
THAT? BECAUSE YOUR QUALITIES WILL COME WHEN THINGS GET DIFFICULT!
THEY WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE EXPRESSIONS EVEN IN THE LAST TOUGHEST TASK!
IF, THERE HAD NOT BEEN ANY SUCH TASK, THEN “CONVINCING” “SHOWING”
“LEADING” “BRINGING IDEAS” “COOPERATION” WOULD HAVE BEEN EMPTY
words! THE TASK GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW YOUR WAY! DOES
YOUR MIND STOPS WORKING WHEN DIFFICULT SITUATION ARISES OR YOUR
IDEAS KEEP ON FLOWING?THE LEADER IS BORN IN A BATTLEFIELD, NOT IN
LAYING IN BED.SO, MORE THE DIFFICULT TASK MORE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
FACE IT AND BRING YOUR QUALITIES FORWARD! THAT’S WHY THESE TASKS ARE
PROGRESSIVE! COMPLETING THE TASK IS NOT THE TASK, BUT HOW YOU DO IT,
EXECUTE IT WITH SELF CONFIDENCE WITH OTHERS WHILE CONVINCING YOUR
GROUP WITH YOUR IDEAS IS WHAT IS BEING LOOKED AT! THE PGT IS JUST A TOOL
TO SEE WHAT KIND OF MIND YOU HAVE!

Some people,generally from rural background, don’t give their own ideas
thinking ENGLISH IS WEAK OR they think others KNOW BETTER or Sometimes they
feel that their point won’t be listened to. THIS SHOWS LOW CONFIDENCE! YOU
SPEAK YOUR POINT. AND DON’T AGREE JUST LIKE THAT (JUST BECAUSE A VERY
SENIOR CANDIDATE WHO HAS GIVEN MORE SSBs THAN YOU has spoken). Believe
that people will listen to you and come out with different good ideas! Do the task!
Be involved! It’s your team! Everyone is at par!

GTO’s phone will ring in between. Don’t pay attention. It’s a trick! He wants to see
how many candidates stopped performing which means that they were
performing just for the sake of showing him! Just keep on doing your task! If you
get stuck, don’t lose hope! Keep on improving! DON’T TELL CANDIDATES “BE
CAREFUL! YOU WILL FALL DOWN; YOU WILL BE HURT”. They will take care of
themselves! You take care of the weakest link! Be responsible by showing and not
by saying just toimpress the GTO. IT WILL NOT WORK.

The Half Group Task is just like PGT with only one task and you will be given
more SPACE HERE to work! Do it! PLAN FIRST! CONVINCE YOUR GROUP! YOU
CAN, AND THEY WILL BE CONVINCED!

XXX

Let’s come to lecture! There will be 4 topics. Topic 1 will be above average aka
tough and topic 4 will be very easy. Topic 2 and 3 will be average. CHOOSE TOPIC
NUMBER ONE ONLY! THIS SECRET WAS SHARED TO ME BY MY PSYCHOLOGIST
FAMILY FRIEND. AS SOON AS YOU CHOOSE TOPIC NUMBER 1, GTO GIVES YOU
6/10 ALREADY AND THEN ADDS TO IT based on WHAT YOU SPEAK. WHY DOES HE
DO SO? Because, IT’S NOT ABOUT THE TOPIC! IT’S YOUR CONFIDENCE THAT YOU
CHOSE THAT TOPIC! IT’S LIKE AN SRT, WHERE A DIFFICULT SITUATION HAS COME
AND YOU ARE STANDING FIRM IN THE CYCLONE! REMEMBER, IT’S ALL about
PSYCHOLOGY!

Now, you WILL SPEAK Like this:

“GENTLEMEN! MY TOPIC IS ______. The reason why I have chosen this topic
(REASONING ABILITY) is because it’s a moot topic and it is very important for
welfare for nation. So, I will first give introduction, then talk about advantages,
disadvantages and then in the last I would suggest a way ahead” (Organizing
ability & Planning).

FINISH THE TOPIC IN TIME (SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY). THIS IS LIKE AN SRT: HE


WAS GIVEN 4 TOPICS AND FIRST TOPIC WAS VERY DIFFICULT. HE HAD TO GIVE
LECTURES IN FRONT OF HIS FRIENDS. HE…? SOLUTION: HE CHOSE THE MOST
DIFFICULT TOPIC AND PLANNED OUT HIS LECTURE. He ORAGNIZED IT IN VARIOUS
HEADINGS AND COMPLETED THE LECTURE IN TIME. (IF YOU CAN WRITE THIS IN
PSYCHOLOGY, THEN WHY NOT PUT IT IN practice TOO). REMEMBER:
PSYCHOLOGIST DOESN’T CONDUCT LECTURES as such, BECAUSE IT’S NOT ABOUT
LECTURE or TOPIC BUT aboutthe WAY YOU EXECUTE IT! PSYCHOLOGIST
COMFIRMED YOUR CONFIDENCE BY SRT AND GTO TOOK THE LECTURE! JUST TO
TICK MARK “CONFIDENCE”, “PLANNING”, “DETERMINATION” “EFFECTIVE
INTELLIGENCE” “REASONING ABILITY”& NOT to TICK YOU AS A G.K. BOOK! THEY
AREN’T LOOKING FOR scholars BUT LEADERS WHO CAN BRING THE TOPIC INTO
EXECUTION IN A PLANNED AND CONFIDENT WAY!

In Individual Obstacles, everyone thinks that GTO gives us marks (as put on the
individual obstacles) like, 10 marks for Rope climbing, 8 for tiger leap etc! NO!
These are marked so that candidates have a motivation to do the toughest task.
But if we are running away from the tough task (without even trying), that means
we are escapist. It’s NOT ABOUT WHETHER WE CAN CLIMB THE ROPE OR NOT,
BUT ABOUT WHETHER WE ATLEAST TRY IT OR NOT. IT IS A SITUATION BASICALLY
IN FRONT OF YOU AND YOU ARE ESACAPING EVEN WHEN IT HAD THE HIGHEST
MARKS ON IT! ALSO, PLAN YOUR OBSTACLES. DON’T MOVE HERE AND THERE LIKE
HEADLESS CHICKEN! START FROM THE MOST DIFFICULT TASK (IT’S NOT ABOUT
DOING IT, BUT TRYING IT, MARKS ARE FOR THAT). ROPE TOH ACADEMY MEIN BHI
SIKHA DENGE! GOT it? When jumping from one thing to another, don’t think.
Don’t just ponder whether you will do it or not! YOU WILL! JUST DO IT!

I am giving you an example of an INDIVIDUAL OBSTACLE BELOW, AND WHAT IS


SEEN BY THE GTO IS GIVEN AT THE FOOT OF THE IMAGE

In This obstacle, you need to CATCH the rope by jumping off the platform and
come down holding rope.

HOW TO GO ABOUT IT:

1. CLIMB UP THE PLATFORM AND AIM FOR THE ROPE (DON’T BOTHER ABOUT
GAP BETWEEN PLATFORM AND ROPE). CATCH THE ROPE AT A HIGHER
LEVEL THAN YOUR HEAD (NOTICE THAT THE ARROW IN IMAGE PUT
BETWEEN “YOU” AND ROPE IS INCLINED)
2. ONCE YOU HOLD THE ROPE, BRING IT CLOSE TO YOUR BODY AS IF HOLDING
A BABY TIGHTLY AND CLOSELY.
3. NOW THE ROPE WILL START SWINGING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND BACK
AUTOMATICALLY ONCE YOU CATCH IT. THUS, WAIT FOR THE ROPE TO GET
LITTLE NORMAL (YOU CAN USE YOUR FEET MARKED AT “RED STAR” (see
image) TO STOP THE MOMENTUM OF ROPE). OTHERWISE YOU WILL BANG
YOUR HEAD AT “RED STAR” ONLY IF YOU TRY TO GET DOWN WITHOUT
LETTING THE ROPE TO BE NORMAL.
4. COME DOWN FIRMLY. DON’T SLIDE DOWN, OTHERWISE HANDS WILL GET
HURT. YOU CAN USE YOUR FEET TO HOLD THE ROPE SO THAT LESS
PRESSURE IS ON THE HANDS.
5. GO TO THE NEXT OBSTACLE.

WHAT ALL IS SEEN BY GTO:

1. CONFIDENCE: If you ATLEAST TRY this task


2. SPEED OF DECISION: WHETHER YOU, STANDING ON THE PLATFORM, TAKE
TIME TO JUMP OR QUICKLY JUMP. MANY CANDIDATES TAKE TIME TO
THINK BECAUSE OF FEAR AND LACK OF CONFIDENCE THAT THEY WILL BE
ABLE TO CATCH HOLD THE ROPE OR NOT! JUST AIM FOR ROPE AND HOLD
IT FIRM. EVERYTHING WILL CATCH UP!
3. DETERMINATION: Whether YOU WANTED TO DO THIS OBSTACLE. YOU
EVEN GOT ON THE PLATFORM, but WHY YOU were NOT JUMPING? THAT
MEANS THERE IS LACK OF DETERMINATION TO COMPLETE THE TASK WHEN
DIFFICULTY IS IN FRONT! So, SIMPLY JUMP!
4. STAMINA: YOUR FACIAL EXPRESSIONS SHALL DEPICT IT CLEARLY
(ESPECIALLY WHEN IT WAS YOUR FIRST TASK AND YOU LOOK SO TIRED!)
5. EFFECTIVE INTELLIGENCE & REASONING ABILITY: YOU KNEW THAT YOU
WILL BE HURT IF YOU GET DOWN WITHOUT LETTING THE ROPE TO LOSE ITS
MOMENTUM. SO, YOU PUT A LEG ON PLATFORM WHILE YOU ARE
SWINGING ON THE ROPE
6. COURAGE: YOU SIMPLY JUMPED OFF THE PLATFORM without LOOKING OR
BOTHERING ABOUT THE GAP BETWEEN ROPE AND PLATFORM.
THUS, IT’s CLEAR THAT INDIVIDUAL TASKS ARE NOT merely the marks-FETCHING
GAME, BUT they have OLQs HIDDEN in EACH STEP. (REST ALL OBSTACLES WILL
BE DISCUSSED IN MY BOOK LATER ON).

XXX

The Command Task is where you will have to choose two candidates for sub-
ordination, and an object has to be retrieved. GTO takes your short interview and
often asks “WHO IS MORE NOTORIOUS, YOU OR YOUR SIBBLING?” JUST TELL HIM
WE BOTH ARE MATURE, SIR! MANY CANDIDATES PUT BLAME ON THEIR YOUNGER
SIBLINGS TO SHOW THAT THEY themselves ARE MATURE! NOOO! HE WILL ASK,
SO YOU WERE BORN MATURE? SAY TO HIM, SIR, IN CHILDHOOD I WAS. THEN HE
WILL SAY HOW? SAY TO HIM “SIR! I ALWAYS HAD HABIT OF ASKING QUESTIONS,
REASONING THINGS. SO, OFTEN I OPENED UP THE RADIO TO FIND OUT THINGS”.
He will also ask you “HAVE YOU TAKEN COACHING?” SAY “YES SIR! I HAVE TAKEN
TRAINING” (USE THE WORD TRAINING). NOW HE WILL ASK YOU WHAT YOU
LEARNED. TELL HIM “SIR! I GOT ORIENTATION ABOUT THE PROCESS AND LEARNT
THAT SSB IS A SUB-SET OF LIFE. (Don’t say sir, all techniques I mugged up and I
learnt story writing also as to what to write and how to use words. THIS SHOWS
COACHED MIND). MOVING ON TO THE TASK. Explain to the GTO WHAT YOUR
PLAN IS. Explain it TO YOUR SUBORDINATES also. JUST EXPRESS WHAT YOU ARE
DOING! YOU ARE THE CANDIDATE WHO WILL GO FORWARD AND DO TASK! You
will not leave on to CANDIDATESonly. JUST PERFORM TASKS WITH THEM!
Generally a difficult task given shows your Level of performance in your entire
GTO. The more difficult task is given to you in command task, more marks you
have till now. GTO will also say sometimes, okay rope is not there, plank is not
there, this or that is not there. He wants to see that with raised difficulty are you
able to perform task or you feel pressure. Don’t lose on the task! Keep on trying!
Expressions shouldn’t look confused. Even when GTO SAYS “NAHI HO PAAYEGA
REHENE DO”, you should SAY—“SIR HO JAAYEGA…IT WILL BE DONE”. MANY A
TIME I HAVE SEEN THE GTO NOT WRITING ANYTHING ON THE PAD BUT JUST
SCRIBLING HIS PEN IN AIR ABOVE THE PAD TO SHOW THAT HE IS NOTICING THAT
YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO DO THE TASK! DON’T PAY ATTENTION TO THAT! DO YOUR
TASK! YOU WILL! IT’S ABOUT “HOW” YOU DO IT! AND NOT WHETHER YOU DID OR
did NOT do COMPLETELY!!

XXX

For snake race, be enthusiastic. Lead the team. Be responsible. For Final Group
Task, it’s not even the cherry of the cake. Ab pachtayat hot kya, jab chidiya chug
gayi khet! SO, from the moment GTO ENTERES THE ROOM BEFORE GD, START
FROM THAT TIME. AND, TO START FROM THAT TIME STARTS FROM TODAY!

XXX

INTERVIEW: The least attention is given by candidates to interview. All the


preparations are done for “BALLI-FATTA” and “STORY LIKHNA SEEKHENGE”.
Interviewing officer has also got equal authority like other two officers. But in just
about 30 mins he will take out from you the things which GTO takes in 1-2 days
and psychologist takes in 4 hours! To break the ice, he will smile before you and
ask where you are coming from; tell something about that place, and so on. To
answer about the place, you should “KNOW YOUR PLACE.” This shows a candidate
knows history, polity, economy, art, and demography of his place. It’s a good
thing. YOU CANNOT SAY, SIR! I COME FROM DELHI AND IT IS CAPITAL OF INDIA!
Wow! This shows that you thought the IO did not know this. The information that
you gave is so poor! Cannot you say about DELHI: SIR! Delhi is bordered by
Haryana on three sides and by U.P. to its east. Sir, Delhi covers approximately this
much sq. km area. Sir, according to 2011 census its population is THIS, but now
the population has risen to THIS MUCH. Sir! If we look at the HISTORY of DELHI, it
is inhabited since 6th century BCE; also it served at capital of Mughals and Delhi
sultanates. The word Delhi is basically taken from the word “DHILLU”, a king who
made a city here.Some people regard that it is made from the word “DHEELI”
used by TOMARS to refer to weak foundation of the IRON PILLAR OF DELHI.
Politically, it is administered by Federal govt and state govt of Delhi. Delhi has
hosted Asian games, common wealth. The per capita Income of Delhi is this much.
The GDP is this much. Delhi’s climate is dry winter humid subtropical.
See, BY SAYING ALL THIS ABOUT DELHI, I HAVE TAKEN A
COMPREHENSIVE VIEW ABOUT DELHI. THIS SHOWS MY LEVEL OF MIND which
tends to KNOW EACH AND EVERY ASPECT OF THE PLACE I LIVE at. I AM AWARE OF
MY SURROUNDINGS.THE IO IS NOT INTERESTED IN INFORMATION, BUT in YOU.
HOW YOU SAY IT, PLAN IT, HOW MUCH YOU CAN EVEN REMEMBER (minute
details) IN SUCH A TENSE ATMOSPHERE, this is what matters. THE PERSON WHO
CAN KNOW ABOUT HIS PLACE OR SURROUNDINGS WILL, AFTER GETTING
COMMISSIONED, KNOW ABOUT THE UNIT, BATTALION, AND ENEMIES LOCATION
EASILY! A CURIOUS MIND IS ALWAYS LIKED. WHEN I SAID THAT DELHI
ISBORDERED BY THESE STATES, IT SHOWS THAT I TOOK A HELICOPTER VIEW OF
THAT PLACE. It MEANS, IN MY MIND, I COULD TAKE UP WHOLE DELHI AT ONE
GLIMPSE!

Moving on…The IO asks what the best thing is you like about Delhi. Some
candidates say “Sir,ladkiyan! Sir, shopping complex! Sir, pubs! Sir,Gardens”.THIS
IS NOT WHAT A MATURE MAN SHOULD BE LIKING THE BEST! RATHER HE SHOULD
SAY, SIR, GOOD AMOUNTOF COACHING CLASSES, METRO WHICH TAKES US EVERY
NOOK and CORNER. MATURE MIND LOVES MATURITY!

IF YOU GET STUCK IN ENGLISH, SPEAK HINDI BUT IMMEDIATELY REVERT BACK TO
ENGLISH. He will ask a comprehensive question about starting from your 10 th class
to graduation, about schools, teachers, percentage, friends do you have, subjects
you didn’t like, teachersyou did not like, reason of choosing a particular stream,
the way you spend time with friends, etc….and then he will ask YOU TO START
answering.

Secret: Don’t forget any question.DON’T SAY, I HAVE 2 FRIENDS OR THREE


OR FOUR! …RATHER SAY, ALL ARE MY FRIENDS. THEN HE WILL ASK YOU HOW ALL
CAN BE FRIENDS. THEN SAY TO HIM, SIR I FEEL FRIENDLINESS WITH EVERYONE.
EVEN WHEN I NEED HELP EVERYONE WILL GIVE ME. (THIS IS THE SAME GUY WHO
TAKES MONEY FROM a CO-PASSENGER WHEN HIS BAG GETS LOST). THIS secret
WAS TOLD BY an EX-PSYCHOLOGIST. Interviewer is NOT BOTHERED ABOUT YOUR
FRIENDS, FAMILY and all BUT about YOU! THEY WANT TO SEE YOUR
CONSCIOUSNESS LEVEL! KITNE LOGO KO TUM APNA FRIEND MAANTE HO! AND
FOR CONFIRMATION HE WILL CROSS QUESTION, LIKE “BUT I DON’T BELIEVE WE
HAVE MANY FRIENDS”. AND YOU WILL FALL INTO TRAP! BE FIRM IN WHAT YOU
SAID!

YOUR FAVOURITE TEACHER SHOULD BE YOUR MOST RECENT ONE. LIKE FOR NDA
SSB,CLASS12TH TEACHER; FOR GRADUATION ENTRY SSB, GRADUATION WALI
MADAM. YOUR LIKING SHOULD BE CURRENT! YOU CANNOT SAY I LIKE ROSE
MERRY OF NURSERY CLASS! ALSO, YOU LIKE MISS SHARMA NOT BECAUSE SHE
LOVED YOU OR MADE YOU FEEL SPECIAL (YOU ARE NOT A CHILD ANYMORE), BUT
YOU LIKED HER BECAUSE SHE HAD INDPETH KNOWLEDGE OF SUBJECT! YOU LIKED
HER BECAUSE SHE TAUGHT WITH the help of VARIOUS INSTRUMENTS OF
TEACHING, ETC. BE MATURE IN YOUR LIKINGS NOW! YOUR MOTHER’S QUALITY
THAT YOU LIKE? YOU WILL NOT SAY: “SHE MAKES GOOD FOOD” (SEE IT’S OKAY
BUT THIS IS A VERY CHILDISH ANSWER). YOU may SAY: “HER HOME
MANAGEMENT IS GOOD”. THEN THE IO (INTERVIEWING OFFICER) WILL ASK YOU
“CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW”….THEN SAY: MY MOTHER KEEPS EVERYTHING AS
PLANNED IN KITCHEN; DOES WORK ON TIME; KEEPS A DIARY FOR HERSELF TO
MAKE BUDGET OF HOUSE, ETC.

Then IO may ask, okay Rahul! Tell me your time table! You will say, sir I
wake up at 7-7:30 (never say SHARP 7, SHARP 5. I KNOW YOU WANT TO IMPRESS
HIM…BUT BE HUMBLE) and THEN READ NEWSPAPER (YOU SHOULD IF YOU
DON’T). THEN GO FOR WORK/TUITIONS. (NEVER SAY KEVAL SSB KI TAYARI KARTA
HUN. THEY WILL NEVER TAKE YOU. THEY WANT CANDIDATES WHO ARE LOOKING
FOR DIFFERENT POSSIBILITIES IN LIFE:PLAY/JOG, YOUR HOBBIES,And EVENING
WITH FRIENDS), SPEND TIME WITH FAMILY(BALANCED HAI LADKA). SURF
INTERNET AND FIND OUT STUDY MATERIAL; GO THROUGH EMPLOYMENT NEWS
PAPER AND FIND OUT VARIOUS PERSPECTIVES (GOOD THAT YOU SEARCH). Then
revise things. Before sleeping sir, I PLAN FOR TOMORROW (THIS IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING).

How do you spend time with parents, RAHUL? You will not say, “SIR, I PLAY LUDO
WITH mother.” NO! Rathersay, SIR, WE SIT DOWN AND DISCUSS PLAN FOR
FAMILY...NOWADAYS WE ARE THINKING OF BUYING PROPERTY ALSO…THEN IO
will interrupt you and say, okay tell me how you managed to find property. NOW
IT IS YOUR TIME TO BE THE STORY CHARACTER WHO FINDS EVERYTHING like from
newspaper, internet, and brokers. Now,YOU ARE in the capacity of THE FATHER
OF YOUR FAMILY! BELIEVE THAT! INDEPENDENT! CONFIDENT! (ONLY THIS
PERSON CAN CONVINCE PARENTS TO MARRY THE GIRL OF HIS OWN CHOICE,
REMEMBER SRT). Now you take only financial help from your Father! Take your
own decisions now! You are a man! IF EVERYTHING YOUR FATHER DECIDES FOR
YOU, THEN IO WILL SELECT YOUR FATHER AND NOT YOU FOR THE JOB! (GOT IT?).
So, cannot you say to IO, SIR I LOOK MYSELF WHAT ALL IS REQUIRED IN THE
HOUSE; I HAVE PUT CONTACT NUMBERS OF REPAIRING SHOPS; I DO RECHARGE
OF CELLPHONES FOR WHOLE HOUSE; PAY ELECTRICITY BILLS!

How much is your pocket money and how do you spend it? ONE CAN ALWAYS
SAY, SIR I give TUITIONS; OR, I GET MONEY ACCORDING TO THE NEED, NOTHING
IS FIXED. I SPEND MONEY ON BUYING BOOKS, STATIONERY, GOING OUT ON
MOVIE ONCE IN A MONTH (YOU ARE LIVELY ALSO, AND WHO DOESN’T GO). SIR!
ALSO I SAVE THE MONEY FOR FUTURE (THIS IS VERY GOOD THING, it SHOWS
YOUR PLANNING FOR AHEAD).

THE IO MAY YAWN and/or LOOK AT WATCH TO SHOW HE IS NOT INTERESTED. He


WILL BE ANGRY; WILL LAUGH AT YOU. DON’T PAY ATTENTION. THEY ARE TRAINED
TO DO THAT, SO THAT OUR EXPRESSIONS CHANGE! HE HAS NOTHING IN
PERSONAL AGAINST YOU AT ALL! RATHER MORE THE DIFFICULT SITUATION,
MORE ARE YOUR CHANCES TO SHOW HIM your talent BY OVERCOMING THESE
OBSTACLES! DON’T BE ANGRY! OR SAD! OR CRY!

The IO will ask you why you want to join Indian ARMY/AIRFORCE/NAVY. DON’T
SAY THAT YOU WANT TO JOIN BECAUSE YOU WANT TO PROTECT THE NATION
and will die for my country OR YOU LIKE THE UNIFORM. IF IT’S ALL ABOUT
UNIFORM, THEN EVEN AN ATM GUARD HAS UNIFORM. SO, PLEASE SAY LIKE THIS:
THE DEFENCE SERVICES ARE A GOOD PACKAGE OVERALL. IT GIVES US PRIDE IN
SOCIETY. FOR MEDICAL FACILITY IT HAS Army HOPSITALS. IT HAS GOOD SALARY;
PENSION FACILITY IS THERE. FOR MY CHILDREN THERE WILL BE ARMY SCHOOLS.
AND ALSO YOU CAN ADD THAT YOUR BROTHER/FAMILY BACKGROUND
MOTIVATED YOU AS YOU SAW THIS TYPE OF LIFE. DON’T SAY “SIR BACHPAN SE
MERA EK SAPNA THA” (TOO FILMY).

The IO will ask you, tell me something about ARMY/NAVY/AIRFORCE (THE SSB
YOU ARE ATTENDING). SO, Plan things well to tell the IO. You may start by giving
current position of air force/navy/army, and present purchases made from
outside.Then you can give history, its role in different wars, humanitarian help
done by forces, and so on. THIS IS JUST LIKE A LECTURE! PLAN IT, ORGANISE IT.
GIVE MATURE POINTS. DON’T SAY “SIR, AIRFORCE HAS BLUE UNIFORM AND
ARMY OLIVE GREEN!” (NURSERY ANSWER). ALSO TELL THE IO ABOUT THE WAY
AHEAD (LIKE HOW OUR DEFENCE CAN GET BETTER; MAKE IN INDIA…ETC). HE IS
NOT INTERESTED IN INFORMATION ABOUT DEFENCE BUT important is HOW you
PRESENT IT AND PLAN IT AND WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO TELL HIM!YOUR MATURE
MIND ALWAYS ATTRACTS MATURE INFORMATION! SUPPOSE THE IO ASKS YOU,
WHY DIDN’T YOU GET RECOMMENDED IN THE PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS? THEN SAY,
SIR, IN THE FIRST ATTEMPT MY STORIES WEREN’T GOOD. IN THE SECOND I FEEL
THAT I SHOULD HAVE DONE GOOD IN GD. IN THE THIRD SIR, LECTURETTE WASN’T
UPTO the MARK! (THIS SHOWS THAT YOU ARE NOT BLAMING YOUR ANY QUALITY
LIKE SIR, MUJHE BAHUT DAR LAGTA HAI OR, I AM SHY SIR.(SHYNESS IS NOT A
GOOD QUALITY. OFFICER IS ALWAYS OPEN.). HE THEN ASKS, OKAY YOU MUST
HAVE FELT BAD WHEN YOU GOT REJECTED BY SSB? THEN SAY: YES SIR! (THAT’S IT.
DON’T SAY SIR LITTLE BIT BUT I GOT MOTIVATED AFTER TWO DAYS AND BLAH
BLAH). HE ASKED, DID YOU OR NOT? THEN JUST SAY YES SIR! NOW HE WILL ASK
YOU, OKAY THEN WHAT YOU DID TO OVERCOME? (SRT). THEN YOU TELL HIM
SIR, I IMPROVED IN MY STORIES; PREPARED WELL FOR GD FROM NEWSPAPER,
ETC.

REGARDING CURRENT AFFAIRS ASKED, GIVE HIM WELL EXPLAINED CURRENT


AFAIRS. IN DEPTH! PLAN YOUR CURRENT AFFAIRS. Choose from the newspaper
current affairs that are MATURE. You cannot choose the current affair like “In
Delhi, two thieves were caught” (Childish).Remember, what you choose from the
whole news shows what YOU ARE FROM INSIDE. Suppose you want to speak on
FIRE IN AMAZON forests. You can talk about economic impact, tribes affected,
actions that could have been taken! DON’T BLAME GOVERNMENT! RATHER tell
THE SOLUTION! DON’T SAY, SIR LOG BAHUT GANDE HAIN, AAG LAGA DETE HAIN!
(YOU ARE GONE).

If you have written in PIQ form something related to sports,prepare it well! IF you
don’t know anything, just say, sir I don’t know but I will find it out (THIS TYPE OF
PERSON IS GOOD WHO FINDS OUT).

Also, suppose you didn’t get good marks in 10 th class. You can always say, sir, I
paid much attention to extra curriculum things, BUT I BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD
HAVE GIVEN A BALANCED VIEW ON STUDIES AS WELL. (THIS SHOWS YOUR
MATURE MIND OF NOW,which LOOKS AT THE IMATURE MIND OF YESTERDAY
AND ACCEPTS MISTAKES). THIS IS HONESTY! YOU WILL GET MARKS FOR THIS!

WHY did not YOU JOIN NCC? Say, SIR! I DIDN’T HAVE INTEREST AT THAT TIME
(MIND OF YESTERDAY) BUT I WISH I COULD HAVE JOINED IT. IT WOULD HAVE
GIVEN ME A BETTER EXPOSURE SIR! (MIND OFTODAY). THEY ARE LOOKING FOR
TODAY’S MIND AND HOW YOU SEE YOURSELF FROM TODAY’S MIND ABOUT
YESTERDAY! LIKE, WE ALL DID susu (toilet) in bed when we were infants. A
FOOLISH PERSON, out of blind CONFIDENCE, will adamantly ALWAYS SAY “SIR I
NEVER DID SUSU IN BED”. AREY ACCEPT IT BHAI YOU DID. Past is gone! NOW
WHAT YOU DO today, MATTERS.

He will ask you about your BAD qualities. Always mention only THOSE WHICH CAN
BE IMPROVED (TAKE HELP OF SELF-DESCRIPTION). DON’T SAY I GET ANGRY!
NEVER! OR, I GET DEPRESSED EASILY!

Then, HE WILL PUT YOU IN PRESSURE! HOW? HE WILL SAY, SUPPOSE I WANT TO
FILL THIS CABIN OF MINE WITH WATER. HOW MUCH WATER CAN COME in it? OR,
CAN YOU TELL ME THE COST OF PAINTING THIS WHOLE ROOM IF THE COST PER
SQ METRE IS SO AND SO. NOW YOU ARE WORRIED AND OFTEN SAY THAT SIR
“SIR! I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GIVE THE ANSWER”. THAT MEANS PRESSURE CAME
AND YOU SURRENDERED. YOUR MIND COULDN’T HOLD SO MUCH INFORMATION
AND THAT TOO VERY NEW WHICH INVOLVED COMPLEX PROBLEMS. YOU
SHOULD HAVE RATHER FOUGHT with THE QUESTION! (LIKE YOU FOUGHT THE
LECTURE QUESTIONS, TOPIC NUMBER 1) BECAUSE IT’S NOT ABOUT GIVING HIM
THE RIGHT ANSWER, BUT ATLEAST TRYING TO FIND THE ANSWER WHICH IS MORE
IMPORTANT. THUS, YOU MAY SAY, “SIR! THE ROOM’S LENGTH IS APPORX 15
METRES AND BREATH IS 10 METRES AND HEIGHT IS 10 METRES…SO volume IS
DASH….AND DASH LITRES WATER CAN COME…!” HE IS NOT INTERESTED IN
ANSWER! HE IS INTERESTED IN HOW YOU TACKLE THE QUESTION! ONE MORE
THING HE CAN ask, OKAY, HAVE YOU SEEN SOME NEW MOVIE? YES, yes, SIR! He
may ask, THEN DESCRIBE ME THAT MOVIE IN 5 SENTENCES (SUMMARISE IT).
NOW HE HAS PUT PRESSURE ON YOU! NOW MOST CANDIDATES WILL BE
RUNNING LIKE HEADLESS CHICKEN! NO! JUST WAIT! Suppose, MOVIE is TAARE
ZAMEEN PAR. Say, SIR! FIRSTLY, IT is A MOVIE ABOUT A BOY WHO HAS ___
PROBLEM. SECONDLY, NONE UNDERSTOOD HIS PROBLEM EXCEPT HIS ART
TEACHER. THIRD ____, FORTH____ AND LAST____! YOU ARE DONE! He can ask
you to even SUMMARISE WHOLE MAHABHARATA IN 5 SENTENCES! TAKE IT AS A
CHALLENGE! THEY DON’T HAVE ANYTHING PREPARED LIKE A LIST OF the
MAHABHARATA SUMMARY, BUT THEY WANT TO SEE HOW YOU REACT WHEN
SUCH AN INTENSE QUESTION IS ASKED! HE MAY ASK YOU, SAY, 10 USES OF A
PENCIL. NOW DO YOU QUIT? OR YOU THINK on it (WITHOUT FEELING BURDEN
EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION COMPLETELY)?
REMEMBER! HE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MOVIES AND PENCIL. HE ASKED
QUESTION TO CHECK CERTAIN THINGS! QUESTIONS WERE JUST A TOOL!

THE IO WILL ASK, SUPPOSE YOU DON’T GET RECOMMENDED THIS TIME WHAT
WILL YOU DO? JUST SAY, SIR I WILL GET RECOMMENDED. HE WILL AGAIN SAY
“NO! SEE SOMETIMES THERE ARE SITUATIONS THAT AREN’T IN YOUR CONTROL”.
THEN SAY “SIR, LET’S WAIT FOR CONFERENCE”. HE WILL AGAINS SAY THAT
“SAMJHA KARO HOTA HAI LUCK BHI”. THEN SAY, “LET’S WAIT! I WILL GET
RECOMMENDED”. THIS WAS REVEALED TO ME bya PSYCHOLOGIST! The IO just
wants to see your confidence!

But if he asks you, what is your back-up plan? THEN SAY: THIS, THIS AND THIS….!
OPEN UP! THEN DON’T SAY, SIR, recommendHO JAAUNGA ISLIYE NAHI HAI PLAN
KOI! NO! THIS QUESTION IS DIFFERENT FROM THE ABOVE! DON’T THINK THAT IF
YOU TELL YOUR BACK-UP PLANS Then INTERVIEWING OFFICER WON’T TAKE YOU!
NO! BY GIVING BACK-UP PLANS, YOU SHARE YOUR LEVEL OF MIND, and YOUR
OPENNESS TO REACH OUT various POSSIBILITIES!

FOR MY SOLDIERS (ALREADY SERVING) WHO WANT TO JOIN AS OFFICERS: YOU


WILL BE ASKED YOUR RELATION WITH YOUR BOSS. THEY ARE LOOKING IF YOU are
JUST A YES MAN who tends to say: SIR, “JO DUTY MILTI HAIN SIRF WAHI KAR
DETA HUN”. SEE, THAT’S GOOD THAT YOU DO YOUR DUTY! BUT, IF
SOMEONE,instead,answers to IO, SIR! I PLAN MY DAY; like,I RESEARCH ABOUT
THE REGIMENT THAT I AM IN; and I DISCUSS PROBLEMS WITH FRIENDS (OTHER
SOLDIERS). Besides, SIR! IF COMMANDER SIR SAYS SOMETHING WHICH I DON’T
UNDERSTAND, I LOOK UP! I ALSO WATCH DISCOVERY Channel (interested to
know things); READ NEWSPAPER IN MY MESS OR WHEREVER I GET TIME and
opportunity! Whatever Boss says, I write it down and always ponder how things
could be better. Sir, on Sundays, I buy things for my necessity; buy books from
outside. For English I look out in market for novels.IO may further say, so, ARE
YOU AN ASSET FOR THE REGIMENT? ARE YOU ACTIVE PARTICIPANT? OR YOU JUST
TAKE ORDERS AND SLEEP? WHAT’S YOUR ROLE IN DEFENCE TO IMPROVE IT? You
can say, SIR! I GIVE FEEDBACK OR IMPROVEMENT TO MY COMMANDER SIR!
(DON’T TAKE OUT FAULTS OF COMMANDERS. COMMANDERS ARE FOR YOUR
WELFARE ONLY! THINK ABOUT THAT). Do not say, “SIR I DO DUTY AND GO TO
SLEEP” (THIS TYPE OF PERSON CANNOT BECOME AN OFFICER). ALSO, HE MAY ASK
YOU, WHAT QUALITY YOU LIKE ABOUT YOUR BOSS. YOU MAY SAY “SIR, I LIKE
HOW HE PLANS THINGS; THINKS ABOUT OTHERS AND ALWAYS HAS AN AIM FOR
OUR REGIMENT”. YOU CANNOT SAY “SIR! I like HIS MOUSTACHE AND THE WAY
HE SPEAKS ENGLISH”. NO! THIS IS A CHILDISH ANSWER! AN OFFICER IS NOT ONE
WHO WEARS STARS ONLY ON SHOULDERS, BUT ONE WHO PLANS, ORGANIZE, and
who IS DIFFERENT FROM CROWD, who CAN CONVINCE OTHERS, ETC.

The candidates should be precise and concise while answering. For example, the
IO may ASK in the end of interview: DO YOU WANT TO ASK ME ANYTHING? JUST
SAY: NO, sir; thank you! PLEASE DON’T WASTE HIS TIME! He asks, DO YOU HAVE A
GF? THOSE WHO EVEN HAVE one, PLEASE SAY NO! THEN HE WILL insist, BUT YOU
ARE SUCH A GOOD LOOKING PERSON having GOOD GRADES, then why not you
have a gf or a bf? Simply TELL HIM, “SIR CAREER IS MY PRIORITY”. He will again
ask you by saying,”YAAR KOI TOH RAHI HOGI KABHI (THERE MUST BE SOMEONE
IN THE PAST)” OR HE MAY GIVE HIS EXAMPLE ONLY SO THAT YOU OPEN UP, BY
SAYING TO YOU,”WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE, I HAD MANY GIRLFRIENDS”. He may
even say to you,”You look so smart! Still no girlfriend? HARD TO BELIEVE” THIS IS
JUST TO MAKE YOUR TRACK CHANGE FROM “I DON’T HAVE A GF” TO “YES SIR, I
HAVE A GF”. THE MOMENT YOU SAY YOU HAVE A GF (ITS NOT WRONG BUT LOT
OF VAGURE QUESTIONS SPROUT UP LIKE WHAT QUALITY SHE LIKES IN YOU
(MORE LIKE SELF-DESCRIPTION). He asks, SEX KIYA HAI? NAHI? KYUN? HE WANTS
TO PUT YOU IN PRESSURE! AVOID THESE THNGS! BE HONEST in this regard
SOMEWHERE ELSE.

EVERY QUESTION IS AN OPPORTUNITY. If IO asks “How did you plan for your
sister’s marriage?” TAKE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO BE THE
CHARACTER of the story who PLANS THINGS. For example, you can say “SIR! FIRST
WE DECIDED THE DATE FOR MARRIAGE AND THE BUDGET. THEN WE DIVIDED THE
TASK INTO SMALL GROUPS LIKE, I TOOK the work of (DON’T SAY I WAS GIVEN)
invitation CARD DESIGNING AND DISTRIBUTION of cards; and ARRANGING THE
FOOD BY DECIDING AND ASKING MY RELATIVES’ choice for DINNER. I WENT
FROM RESTAURANT TO RESTAURANT AND ASKED FOR RATEs, TASTED FOOD, ETC.
SIR! I TOOK MY SISTER to market FOR MARRIAGE SHOPPING. I GAVE HER THE
DEBIT CARD TO DECIDE FOR HERSELF WHAT SHE WANTS (SHOWING CONFIDENCE
IN OTHERS IS NOTHING BUT SHOWING CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELF). SIR! EVERY
NIGHT WE FAMILY SAT TOGETHER AND DISCUSSED WHAT HAD BEEN DONE AND
WHAT STILL was LEFT. I ALSO TOLD MY FATHER TO RELAX AND GIVE ALL TASKS TO
ME. SIR! I ALSO ARRANGED LADIES SANGEET. I CALLED MY SCHOOL FRIEND WHO
USED TO SING VERY WELL IN PROGRAMS FOR THE OCCASION. ULTIMATELY, SIR! I
CHECKED EACH AND EVERY PART OF THE OCCASION.THIS TYPE OF CANDIDATE is
one whom the IO WANTS. Now suppose, he again asks you, what did you do in
Lockdown on account of COVID19? REMEMBER! EVERY QUESTION IS AN
OPPORTUNITY! YOU WILL NOT SAY “ATE FOOD, SLEPT”. NOO!! WHY Don’t YOU
SAY “SIR! I used LOCKDOWN AS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR SELF
IMPROVEMENT. I COMPLETED MANY NOVELS. I LEARNT HOW TO COOK FOOD”
(HE CAN ASK YOU HOW A PARTICULAR FOOD IS MADE. SO BE PREPARED. IF YOU
DIDN’T LEARN FOOD, THEN DON’T SAY so. THEY DON’T WANT COOK AFTER ALL).
ALSO, SAY TO IO “SIR! I WROTE STORIES/POEMS, INCULCATED HOBBY. IN
NEWSPAPERS I LOOKED daily at THE SOLUTIONS FOR THE COVID19. AND I
IMAGINED MYSELF AS A DOCTOR/DM AND Thought OF SOLUTIONS“. HE CAN ASK
YOU, OKAY WHAT SOLUTIONS YOU IMAGINED. TELL him: SIR I LEARNT WEB
DESIGNING; PAYING AMOUNT FOR THE CLASSES ONLINE. ALSO, WE HAVE A
GROUP OF STUDENTS WHO WERE PREPARING FOR SSB, WE SPENT AN HOUR
DAILY TO PRACTICE LECTURES AND GROUP DISCUSSIONS. THIS TYPE OF
CANDIDATE IS AN ASSET FOR THE DEFENCE! So, whatever question comes to you
in interview, take it as an opportunity to express yourself! HE IS NOT ASKING
QUESTION JUST LIKE THAT!Question put to you can be any, but your response
has to be well organized, planned, and full of confidence (JUST LIKE THE STORIES
THAT YOU WRITE. THE IO IS RAISING AN ISSUE AND YOU ARE THE ONE SOLVING
IT). For instance,interviewing officer asks “Okay Rahul, you have written that you
do meditation, but don’t you think it’s for old people like me?” NOW HE HAS
GIVEN YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO STEER THE WHEEL IN YOUR DIRECTION. HOW?
YOU MAY SAY: SIR! MEDITATION ENHANCES ONE’S MENTAL CAPABILITIES.
MEDITATION ENERGISES THE BODY. MEDITATION KEEPS THE MIND, BODY AND
SOUL IN BALANCE. ANYONE CAN PRACTICE IT SIR!” Never say: “SIR! Since I get
depression easily or I don’t like to talk to people or my personality is introvert, so,
I do meditation” (YOU will JUST RUIN THE OPPORTUNITY BY GIVING HIM CLUES
THAT YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO LOVES ISOLATION AND NOT VERY FRIENDLY WITH
PEOPLE AROUND which shows LACK OF SOCIAL COMPATABILITY). SO, always
steer the interview in your way! Whatever the QUESTION may be! COME OUT OF
IT, INDIRECTLY TELLING YOUR QUALITIES. NEVER LET EVEN A SIMPLE QUESTION
PUT DOUBT IN IO’s MIND that you don’t have the OLQs. He may even ask you,
how do you help your brother in studies or your parents at home or how did you
plan for your trip or how did you face challenge when you shifted to new school.
NOW YOU KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT IT! PS: In challenge pertaining to school
shift, you may say that “Since I made friends the very first day, I borrowed notes
from them; discussed matters with them; talked to teachers and burnt mid night
oil to straighten things” (DON’T SAY, SIR IT WAS REALLY DIFFICULT SINCE THE
PLACE WAS NEW AND I DIDN’T HAVE ANY FRIENDS THERE). Every question is an
opportunity for you!

YOUR INTERVIEW SHOULD BE VERY SIMPLE, SEHEJ, STRAIGHT! WHATEVER IS


ASKED, JUST TELL THAT! For example, if he ASKS YOU, FROM WHERE YOU are
COMING, then SAY, “LUCKNOW”. DON’T SAY “LUCKNOW WHICH IS IN U.P.”(AS IF
HE DOESN’T KNOW). IF HE ASKS “DO YOU SMOKE?” SAY “NO SIR”. DON’T SAY
“SIR AAP YAKEEN NAHI KAROGE, SIR YOU WON’T BELIEVE, SIR JHOOTH NAHI BOL
RAHA…NAHI PEETA…I DON’T SMOKE”. BUT, MANY CANDIDATES IN ORDER TO BE
DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS WANT TO IMPRESS INTERVIEWING OFFICER! DON’T DO
IT! JITNA POOCHA JAAYE, UTNA HEE BATANA! WHEN HE TELLS YOU TO EXPLAIN,
TELL HIM IN DEPTH! LIKE IO ASKS “DO YOU GET POCKET MONEY?” SAY, “YES SIR”
(STOP). DON’T SAY, “In childhood I never got pocket money, but Now I get it sir”.
DIDhe ASK YOU THIS EXPLANATION? IO ASKS HOW ARE YOU RAHUL? SAY, “I AM
GOOD SIR”. DON’T SAY “I AM GOOD AND HOW ARE YOU?” NOOO! WHATEVER IS
ASKED ANSWER THAT!

The IO may even put some SRTs in front of you saying: suppose, you are going in a
taxi alone and the place is deserted. The driver showing knife tells you to leave all
baggage and get down, what will you do? Many candidates here laugh in front of
IO, which is nothing but a nervous feeling that you are caught now! Some
candidates say: “Sir, since I am a wrestler or a good athlete, I will fight with him”.
Does not it mean that IF YOU WERE not A WRESTLER OR ATHLETE, You
WOULDN’TFIGHT? THAT MEANS YOU are UNDERCONFIDENT YOURSELF AND
THAT’S WHY YOU SAID “SINCE I AM A WESTLER”. Couldn’t it be better if you
would had said, “Sir! I will dodge him by screaming TRUCK in front! And bash his
head on steering. Then I will put him in dicky and get to the police station. After
completing action there I will take another taxi or lift to my destination”. This is
what IO is looking for. Plus, if it’s a gun in the hands of driver, then better leave
the car, note down the number and report to police! Understand the difference
between gun and knife!!
THEY JUST WANT SIMPLE TRAINABLE PEOPLE! HAVE CONFIDENCE in YOUR
SIMPLICITY. THOSE WHO ARE UNDERCONFIDENT WILL ADD THINGS
UNECCESSARILY. SO, BE CONFIDENT, HUMBLE. WHATEVER is ASKED, TELL HIM,
NOT AN INCH MORE!

XXX

CONFERENCE:Luck, destiny all prevail here! Be ready for SRT, WAT, and
absurd questions on friendship. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. A LONG WAIT OUTSIDE
CONFERENCE generally MEANS YOU ARE BEING DISCUSSED. EVEN IF NOT A LONG
WAIT, DOESN’T REALLY TELL WHETHER YOU MADE IT OR NOT! LET GOD DECIDE
THROUGH THEM WHAT’S IN YOUR LIFE FOR THOSE MOMENTS.

SCREENING: FOOL PROOF STRATEGY TO CLEAR SCREENING


The moment you report at the railway station, your screening process
starts. Now you are heading in the bus towards the Board. Make
friends, talk to them! They are not your competitors. When the chest
numbers are allotted to you, just talk to the people around (+5 and -5
to your chest number). Suppose your chest number is 15, so talk to 10-
14, and to 16-20 chest numbers in particular, so that when discussion
takes place, they will not dominate you at least! In The Officers
Intelligence Test (OIR), since there is no negative marking, don’t
hesitate; and feel free! OIR doesn’t solely make you IN. According to me
the weightage is almost 10% of screening of OIR. Rest 90% is of the
PPDT (PICTURE PERCEPTION & DISCUSSION TEST). In PPDT, you will be
shown hazy pictures so that each candidate has a different picture! So,
10 candidates in group can have 10 different perceptions. It’s up to you
how you perceive. Perceive a normal resident or a doctor or, say,
engineer or some businessman. Don’t try to impress the officers by
putting ARMY story everywhere. But in case, you saw any (though it’s
difficult to see stars on shoulders), then put army story but then also,
say no to war. Make something creative like Rahul was an engineer in
army and he noticed that his tank was getting sand inside its engine
every time, so he…Whatever solution you can find out! Don’t make
stories on terrorists or naxalites. Don’t put drugs’ dealers, miscreants
in stories. Be loud, clear and crisp. LOOK INTO CANDIDATES’ EYES. Do
finish the story. Just be at normal pace as if everyone was waiting for
you only to complete story. If the officer gets the idea as to what you
wanted to speak, he himself may say “OKAY! NEXT”. Now, as soon as
the last candidate finishes his/her story, you have to open your mouth
and initiate. Speak twice or thrice. Not more than that. BUT, convince
your group to take your story! Never say, “Let this candidate speak, he
hasn’t spoken yet”. (Candidates do it more often than not to show the
officer that he/she is very friendly). This is wrong. Be bothered about
yourself at that moment. Even if the group is not taking your story, then
you improvise their story.

SOME MORE TIPS FOR SSB: (REST WILL BE GIVEN IN my upcoming


BOOK):
1. Day to day activities to develop psychology

To expand your consciousness, do breathing exercises. Play sports which involve


group. If you do boxing, then try football. You will automatically inculcate team
spirit. If you don’t have any hobby, it’s okay! But have lot of interests! You can try
vipassanameditation (Link in PDF). It will remove mental obstacles. Have healthy
relations with parents, hug them, sit with them, and listen to them! Be friendly!
Test your initiative skills in train. Just make a target to make friends with
strangers. This will help you to open up. Feel that the entire universe is your
friend and everyone is helpful. Feel that neighbours help you. There is no enemy
of yours. You love everyone and everyone loves you. You may read
“Autobiography of a Yogi” by Paramhansa Yogananda to challenge your thoughts
or the book “The search that seeks you” by Sanghmitra Amudha to not hate
anyone in life. This will challenge your own will. Your friends are everywhere,
and so are in SSB. Take part in home activities. Be a responsible person now! Help
your ageing parents. It’s high time! But never forget to love everyone! Your sister
or any other female character of the story or SRT is as strong as you are! Feel that
in life as well! Only then WAT “Men and women are equal” gets justified.
Otherwise, in SRT like, “Your sister and you are surrounded by 10 men with arms,
you…?” many candidates will make their sister run and fight! BUT don’t you think
that your sister is at par with you and you BOTH can give a strong fight? So, feel
that everyone is at par, no one is weaker and no one is superior. Remember,
African Philosophy of Ubuntu (I am because WE are).

2. How to prepare for SSB interview along with job

The candidates who are preparing for SSB along with their jobscan in their free
time, especially before going to bed, read current affairs. Read views in
newspaper, if not news. Your mind will grow when you are able to take care of
different views. Don’t make your boss your enemy. Feel he is there for your
welfare; even he has to report to someone higher. He also has a family to keep.
Be friend with him. Never blame your boss in self-description and interview!
Your boss is good enough to help you financially and morally in challenging times.
Also, don’t hide in SSB that you have or don’t have any job. Many candidates
think that if they tell about job, IO will not select you thinking the candidate is
busy somewhere else. But IO takes JOB=Responsibility and how you do your
things in a planned way in JOB. Job questions are an opportunity for you to tell
the IO that you are responsible and you convince boss over various matters and
you take part in job decisions etc. There is no need to leave job for SSB
preparations. It should preferably be done along. If IO asks you about your boss,
tell that he is good at decision making (giving examples of how he is good at it).

If you can keep your head when all about you


Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master,


If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
(अगरतु मसपने े खसकते होदिबनासपनोंकागु लामबने ,
अगरतु मसोचसकते होदिबनासोचका ासबने ,
अगरतु महारऔरजीतकासामनाकरसकते हो

यादिजनचीजोंकोतु मने अपनीदिज़न् गी ीउन्हें दिबखरते हुए े खसकते हो
औरझुककरदि-रसे उनटूटीवस्तु योंसे अपनाजहानबनासकते हो।)

If you can make one heap of all your winnings


And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

(अगरतु मअपने जीवनकीकमाईकोएकसाथरखकरकंचे खेलसकते हो

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,


Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

(अगरतु मभीड़से बातकरकेभीअपनीनै दितकताबनाये रखसकते हो
