2. Do Good Practice: Whatever source you choose, make sure that you practice well. This is the second important tip!

3. Read Current Affairs: Having good general awareness and knowledge of current affairs is an added advantage! Make sure that you go through NEWS Papers, NEWS headlines etc daily. Also referring magazines and sites like Defence Guru will help you.

4. Some Things You Should Have Detailed Knowledge About: All SSB interviews emphasize on some common topics. These common topics are- India, Indian Politics, History of India, India and its current affairs, Armed Forces in India etc. Questions about these topics are almost always asked during personal interviews, group discussion etc. Make sure that you read and study these topics extensively. Preparing and keeping your own ‘notes’ will help. With the use of internet, you may get all the necessary knowledge for free!

5. Rewise Your Technical/ Academic Knowledge : 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, rewise your knowledge is essential.

6. 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.

7. Be Aware Of The Tough Climate, Practice Time Management Accordingly : Usually, the interviews are held at time, when the climate is extreme. For example, consider the SSB interview held at Allahabad in January. At that time, the place would be too cold. It is essential to know the climatic conditions early on and practice accordingly. In January cold, at Allahabad, you won’t be able to write fast because of ‘cold and frozen’ hands! And let me remind you that ‘writing fast’ is necessary to do well in tests like WAT, TAT, SRT etc. So, writing practice, keeping the climate in mind often helps. Take time to form some ‘time management’ strategies.

8. BE HONEST, SIMPLE AND ‘BE YOURSELF’ : Be honest while filling out PIQ form. Don’t brag about things you never did! 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.

9. Build Confidence, Improve Oratory Skills : Building confidence will certainly help you perform well in personal interview, group discussion, group task etc. Having good oratory skills will also help during group discussion, group task etc. Invest some time daily cultivating these qualities in yourself.

10. Maintain Physical Fitness : Maintain a basic level of fitness and physique. Exercise regularly, eat well, eat good food.

We believe that religiously practicing and implementing these tips will help you crack SSB interview.
