How To Do
Your Best in SSB?
The candidates who have cleared
their CDSE exam are the ones that are usually waiting for their SSB call. Here
are a few tips to help the candidates be better prepared before appearing for
their SSB interview. These tips can also be followed by UPTET candidates. These tips
are focused towards a broader audience and hence even the applicants that are
interested in appearing for the CTET
exams can make use of them. The SSB interview is more to assess the personality
of the candidates and is less oriented towards testing their knowledge. Hence,
it is essential to put your best foot forward during the interview.
The following are the most effective
tips to be considered while preparing yourself for SSB call:
1) Physical Fitness - Work on your
physical fitness. Go to the gym or in the least start jogging everyday and
start a healthier diet. Being in shape always shows you have self discipline.
2) Perspective - Have a positive
perspective as a whole. Train yourself to see the good in situations and not
just discard them.
3) Social Skills - Work on your social
skills by trying to make new friends and get out of your comfort zone. Try
comfort zone challenges where you have to take up challenges to challenge
yourself to get out of your comfort zone.
4) Current Affairs - Start reading
newspapers and magazines and watch more news. Being up to date with the current
affairs of our country is important.
5) Know Yourself - Be very familiar with
your strengths and weaknesses like CTET applicants
and think of them and keep them in mind. Telling your weaknesses when asked
shows that you have emotional honesty. Needless to say, you must not mention
any weakness that can get you instantly disqualified.
6) Be Familiar - Be familiar with all the
steps in SSB interview like candidates are during UPTET exam . If you are a repeater then analyse the mistakes you
made last time and learn from them. Learning from your past mistakes gives you
knowledge and experience combined with it can be a huge advantage that you can
have.
7) Call up letter - Arrange your documents
in the same sequence as mentioned in the call up letter. If you don’t have the
original certificates then make sure you at least have xerox copies of them.
8) Academic Knowledge - Although the SSB
call focuses more on assessing your personality, it is essential to revise your
academic knowledge and refresh it before going to the final interview.
9) Coaching - Many students spend a lot of
money, resources and time on coaching for SSB call. This begs the question “Is
it worth it?”. The simple and short answer for it is that coaching is not the
money that is spent on it. With hard work and a creative approach, the
applicants can prepare for it themselves. Coaching centers have been way too
commercialised and turned into money making organisation that provide less
value. Applicants can read SSBCrack, watch youtube videos and get their
questions clarified on Quora to be able to prepare without coaching.
