SSB Interview Preparation Tips

Some useful tips for SSB interview preparation are given as follows: 

• Current affairs: Current affairs are the key to success in psychological testing, lecture, and personal interview phases. But current affairs can be asked at any stage of the SSB interview. Hence, make sure that you go through the headlines of newspapers daily. So, for this, you can prefer The Hindu newspaper for reading current affairs. Besides these, there are lots of online resources through which you can prepare for current affairs.

• Practice and develop essential habits for ground tasks: Ground testing is the most important stage of the SSB interview because you will be there for two days and the GTO will be looking for several characteristics in you. Hence, go through all the stages one by one in detail and identify what kind of OLQ the GTOs are expecting from you. Each step is unique in nature. Hence, you should collect information for all the tasks and practise them as much as possible.

• Develop a thorough knowledge of some topics: In SSB interviews, there are some common topics that are generally asked. These topics are: history, geography, politics, current affairs, and armed forces in India, etc. Such topics are very helpful during the personal interview and GD round. Before going to the SSB interview, make sure that you have read these topics extensively. Preparing your own notes is the most appropriate method to gain knowledge about such topics because you can carry these notes to the SSB venue with you. With the help of the Internet, you can get all the relevant information at no cost in preparing these notes.

• Technical and Academic Knowledge: It is common for the interviewer to ask questions about your academic (10 + 2, etc.) or technical stream of study. By asking such questions, the interviewing officer wants to confirm that you are a good student and have studied the concepts thoroughly.

• Knowing your native place better- Having detailed knowledge of your hometown and native place, where you were born, is very essential and helpful. The interviewing officer will surely ask some questions about these places. Therefore, it is advised that you should collect information about your town or city, including the famous places, famous personalities, government organisations, major industries, population, historical significance, religious places, and languages, etc.

• Time management: Time management is very important in the SSB interview. In all the stages, you will face a shortage of time. Hence, we advise you to practise for each stage with a timer so that you can measure your performance in advance and find areas of improvement.

• Confidence and oratory skills: At every stage, your level of confidence is also measured. Hence, building confidence will surely help you in all GTO tasks and interviews. In addition to this, oratory skills are very necessary. It is observed that if you are very good at writing, you can do well in the interview, but if you are good at speaking, then you can surely ace the interview. Oratory skills play an important role in showcasing your overall personality. Finally, you will be amazed at what excellent oratory with confidence can give you throughout the SSB interview.

• Physical fitness:  Do not ignore this aspect. There are two days for GTO tasks in which you have to deal with the obstacles. Here, your physical fitness is put to test. So, maintain a good level of fitness and physique. In order to remain fit- Eat well and exercise regularly!
