SSB Tips To Crack 10+2 – 40 TES Entry
Each year, Lakhs of candidates appear for written exams like NDA (National Defence Academy) and CDS (Combined Defence Services) etc. Thousands make it through and manage to win themselves a seat for the SSB interview.
But what’s interesting is the fact that majority of the shortlisted candidates get rejected after the first round of SSB! And after the end of the 5 Day long interview processes, handful of them get recommended. In the end, few of them make it to the premier institutes like NDA and IMA (Indian Military Academy)!
So, basically, SSB interview is like a ‘filter’. It separates the best from the rest. And I must say that this filter does a good job! The candidates who get recommended are assessed from various point of views and rated and evaluated by GTO Officers , Psychologists and Other Senior Officers.
We recommend you go through Our Some Killer Tips To Crack SSB Interview:-
- KNOW SSB’S TESTS AND PROCEDURES INSIDE OUT-this interview is not a one day stuff. It is not like a regular interview also. Most of the selected candidates make this mistake.

There will be a series of testsconducted across several days. Make sure that you get proper knowledge about the time-table. Learn more details about the various tests you’ll face.Initially, there will be a screening test. Those who manage to clear the screening test and group discussion round are then supposed to stay at the SSB centre for the next 5-6 days.

3 DON’T IGNORE CURRENT AFFAIRS
This is what many candidates ignore. They’ll practice for all those tests, but leave behind Current Affairs. Having good general awareness and knowledge of current affairs is an added advantage!
Many times, during the personal interview stage, questions related to current affairs will be posed by the interviewer. Make sure that you go through NEWS Papers, NEWS headlines etc daily. Also referring magazines like Pratiyogita Darpan and sites like Jagran Josh will help you.
4. BRUSH UP YOUR TECHNICAL/ ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE
Doing so will come handy during the personal interview. Many times, interviewers go for such technical questions. If you are a 12th standard passed/appearing student, the interviewer may ask questions related to your studies. For example, I was asked this question- ‘What is Bernoulli’s equation?’.
If you are an engineering graduate, then prepare for similar questions related to your branch. So, brushing up your knowledge is essential.
5. KNOW YOUR NATIVE STATE/TOWN BETTER
Having good, detailed knowledge about your home state or town is good. Questions related to them are often asked during personal interview.
Before the personal interview, candidates are asked to fill a PIQ (Personal Information Questionnaire). Details like state, town etc of the candidate must be filled. So, it is obvious that the interviewer will pose some questions related to them.It is suggested that you practice PIQ Various times at coachings Like Trishul Defence Academy.

Bragging and lying will come back to haunt you during interview! Don’t try to act smart. Be your normal self. Acting like somebody else will do more harm than good.
7. MAINTAIN GOOD PHYSICAL FITNESS
Okay, let’s not ignore this aspect. There is a whole ‘obstacles round’, where your physical prowess will be put to test! So, maintain a basic level of fitness and physique.
