Hello students, I am back. I am
writing on behalf of Warriors defence Academy, top NDA coaching in Lucknow. You
all are preparing hard for written exams and some of you will crack them and would be called
for the SSB round. There are several tests in SSB and I have already mentioned
them in my earlier posts hence I won`t be discussing them here. I have
specially written this article for the interview round which a candidate has to
face in the last stages of SSB and is crucial in getting him in or out of the
defence career.
I have outlined here the points
which you must keep in mind while appearing for the interview. It is also much
better if you make these qualities as a part of your life so you don`t have to
enact them in an interview. The students at our academy which is no.1 NDA
institute in Lucknow are encouraged to imbibe these qualities in their
personality so these qualities become a part of his life.
Honesty: You must be brutally
honest about everything you answer. The officers interviewing you are top notch
brilliant minds this country has. So, if you think you can fool them you are
fooling yourself. I know you have a genuine point. You will fail if you speak
the truth but believe me you are going to fail surely when you lie so there is
no point in falsifying information about yourself.
You will find that men with an
honest background are strong, clear and straight forward. The defence career in
Indian armed forces is one of the most respectable and honest professions in
the country. Our students at our academy, no.1 NDA coaching in Lucknow are
regularly exposed to the personalities of defence officers visiting our campus
hence able to get what it is like to be an officer. Our selected students keep
visiting and guide their juniors hence helping them to get selected and making
us the best NDA institute in
Lucknow
Confidence: Let me give you a
very nice example of a man beaming with confidence. There was an interview
going on for IAS candidates. The interviewer dropped a pen each time while
interviewing an IAS candidate. Each of them knelt, picked up the pen and kept
it on the table. Then there came a confident candidate. The interviewer
repeated his procedure. The candidate saw the pen falling and resumed his usual
business of answering the question. The interviewer needed to write something
and he was pretending to look for his pen when the candidate called the peon
standing nearby to pick up the pen and give it to him. He was selected.
Attention: You must listen
actively to the person asking you the question and clarify your doubts
regarding the question, if you have any after he has completed his question.
When you are answering you must answer not only to the person who has asked you
the question but also to the other officers sitting beside hence you can look
at their faces too while answering the questions.
I would urge the students to see
a movie named “Twelve angry men”. You will find the art of conversation
captivating. You can learn many things from the movie if you have a sharp eye.
The students at our academy which is no.1 NDA coaching in Lucknow are providing
weekly sessions to improve their personality and hence communication.
Emotions: When I appeared for my
second interview, I could not believe that I was appearing for an American
company that I will work in an MNC. I decided that I must be honest and I
emoted myself as if I am not answering an interviewer but telling someone my
“Ram Kahani”. This is very dangerous. Nobody in Indian defence would want a
fool like me. Anyway, never get carried away while answering. Be in complete
control regarding what you answer and make sure that it is necessary.
Practice: A good way to practice
interviews is first by observing various powerful personalities how they answer
the interviewer. Take Mr. Amitabh Bachchan for example. Notice his expression
while he listens and then answers even the trifles with a very polite and
courteous manner. You will get a sense of how powerful his personality is.
There are many other interviews you can find on Youtube. You can repeat the process as an interviewee
with some either your friend or someone your senior.
Fluency: Your flow while speaking
must definitely be uninterrupted. If you have too much problem in English you
can opt for Hindi and answer those officers properly. But I would suggest that
you must practice perfecting your English. You will be advantageous in many
tests as well as in an interview. Remember some of the officers might be from
North-east or South and they will understand English better than Hindi hence
you may get overlooked by them if you speak Hindi since they do not understand
it.
The students in our academy, top
NDA coaching in Lucknow, weak in English are given special remedial
English classes apart from their main courses to help them get confident with
English and their selections consistently making us no. 1
NDA coaching in Lucknow.
Be yourself: If you want to do
well in the interview you would have to do best and it can come only when you
are yourself. Trying to be something you
are not will be making a joke in the eyes of the officers interviewing you.
Never pretend. Be straight forward, short and polite as much as possible while
communicating your thoughts to the interviewers.
Avoid being serious more than
necessary: No sincere candidate would consider the interview a place of humour
but you must not take the interview very seriously. Well, I know it is something that makes a
considerable difference but does not make all the difference. If you have done
well in previous rounds their score will come to your help in the final result
hence you must consider it lightly. The best performance comes when you are
free of the pressure of any target and
responsibility. Be yourself and enjoy
the interview. Be impartial. If you have the capability to be an officer nobody
can stop you this year, if you do not have it there is always the next year.
What I have outlined above are
very simple facts and do not seem like a tip at all but remember as simple as
they seem they are very hard to follow when the interview goes on. The tip to
beat the interview is not just reading it but following it and successfully
using it in your interview. I will be continuing more about SSB interviews in
my next article.
Thank you.
