SSB Tips from my SSB Guru Major Pravin Sir...
WHAT WE SEEK IN OLQs(Officers Like Qulaities) IN SSB?
A common question troubling SSB aspirant candidates’ minds is as to what is being sought for in Officer Like Qualities (OLQs) in SSB? I will try to answer that in simple words. A candidate should be assessed as adequate in following qualities: REASONING & ORGANIZING ABILITY, SOCIABILITY, LEADERSHIP, WILL POWER & DETERMINATION. As to how assessment is done is an art which is best left to the expert assessors.
What we should understand is that an average candidate getting assessed should have in his/her career done the following:
A) Studied sincerely & understood what was taught well.
B) Played some games, and done some physical fitness exercises.
C) Been involved in organizing some events at home, or school/college & hence would have the ability to organize an event, if required.
D)Would have had some friends at school/college & good relations with family members. He/she would have been helpful in social relations & would respect & regard others.
E) Would have been involved in some leadership role like house captain, team captain, prefect, etc & developed abilities to positively influence a group & work effectively as a leader, as well as a subordinate.
F) Would have developed will power & determination through tough times faced at home & school/college like exams & other pressure/deadline oriented tasks.
G) Would have some hobbies & interests which would have aided personality growth in fields other than what is there in the school/college curriculum.
H) Would have a reasonable interest in knowing about important National & International events & social issues.
It would be apparent from the discussion that the above should be a very normal profile of a candidate. Such a candidate would be selectable. Nothing extra ordinary is required!
Unfortunately such simple qualities are difficult to get in a large number of candidates because of unnecessary focus on marks, time spent in tuition, which hampers all round development.

Success story shared by Inesh Choudhary who got Commissioned in 152 sikh Infantry (TA).
I had a word with Mr. Inesh Choudhary who got Commissioned in Indian Territorial Army.
I tried to find out about Inesh and his preparations, more importantly how he made it possible. Thanks to Him for giving us time and helping other aspirants by sharing his knowledge and experience form filing of Application to SSB.
"The journey from application to
joining in TA has almost taken a year; however I must start with a comment that
each stage of selection and each month has ensured that I stayed more focus to
achieve what I wanted to from Day 1.
As we all know the first stage is
to submit a duly filled in application form with NOC from current organization
(if employed). I did that and submitted the form to Southern Command.
Stage I –
It has a written examination
which is a mix of objective type questions and essay on most recent current
topics. Through adequate research on internet, got to know that the question
paper of TA. With adequate preparation written examination turned out to be a cake walk.
I was quite confident that would clear and precisely the same happened when the
results were announced.
Stage II –
I was called to appear before
PIB. For me it
was Southern Command. We were asked to fill up PIQ (Personal Information
Questionnaire). The key here is to be honest with your credentials and outline responses
very clearly on questions asked. It is around personal details hence all
someone needs to know is their self-information. We then got our documents
verified and submitted. We were then lined up for our personal interview with
the board. I was called in and the board comprised of two senior officers along
with a psychologist. The interview is mostly based on the PIQ that was filled earlier and questions were specific to current employment, purpose of joining
TA, family and education background etc. As a part of advice, below aspects
should always be kept in mind as questions will vary from each candidate;
however ground rules are similar –
- Always be crisply dressed. One should be in a dark colored trouser, light shirt and a tie (optional)
- Walk in the room post seeking permission brimming with confidence and a pleasant smile
- When asked to sit, do so and be attentive
- Make eye contact while answering questions to the board member who is asking with precise answers without beating around the bush
- Present facts and never try to manipulate answers
- When asked to leave, thank the board and walk out in a crisp fashion
- The interview will be about you so be thorough about what has been written in PIQ.
Stage III:
I would term this as one of the trickiest stage. A stage where in there are too many apprehensions, information on internet and too
many people with just too many suggestions. I am referring to much talked about SSB .Our batch was scheduled to appear before Southern Selection Center in Bangalore. Before I start with my experience and suggestions, would like to outline that SSB is an extremely scientific way of selecting officers out of all applicants hence we should be sure that no one can cheat/trick the system and clear. I followed very simple approach prior to attempting SSB –

I followed very simple approach prior to attempting SSB –
1:Be physically fit. A healthy looking body without excess fat helps add to overall personality and to multiple outdoor assessments that one will go through.
2:Be aware of various tests that will be conducted in SSB. Watch official SSB video on website of Armed Forces and go through stages of testing to be aware and not be surprised when one actually face them.
3: Work on the approach towards a situation in life in a positive fashion. Make it a habit to think and act positively with friends, family, neighbour, colleagues etc.
4:Work on communication skills. It needs to be effective and crisp. Read current affairs weekly magazines, newspaper, communicate with friends/colleagues in English and be aware of what’s happening around in India and world.

I reached the selection centre and from noon were asked to fill up PIQ and multitude of other forms, got documents verified, got chest number and were assigned candidate’s lines for the stay during night as early next morning we were due to appear for our Stage-1 testing.
Download:my SSB experience (PDF)
shortly after all done I received my joining orders to my unit (152 Sikh Infantry) (TA). I joined the unit on 20th July with best possible fitness levels. It is expected that morning jog of 5kms, pushups, chin ups and crunches are done. This is followed by drill and classes on weapon handling. Normally initial one month one is expected to stay in lines meant for troops so that we get to learn better, know them better and understand living conditions of troops.
I will keep updating on life in the unit once I get to experience. However I do want to state that preparing for SSB is a long drawn process. One has to think and behave like an officer and keep positive outlook towards life. Personality and communication plays a key role and it is important that work on this front starts early on. Good Luck…
