Group Planning
You are a group of Nine college students, all of you went to River Kasi for enjoying a boat
ride.
While you were going for boating, you saw a school bus carrying children for picnic spot
near
the River. When you started boating down the river, you you saw an Helicopter flying very
low
and crashed near Fort, which was 2 kms away from your location. You also noticed that
there
was a lot of hue and cry of small children, who got stuck in the cable car just near to your
boating
site. Two of your friends who went to investigate the Helicopter crash reported to you
stating,
that the Pilot was injured and a box, which he was carrying was to be delivered to ATC by
1500
hours, if not it would explode. The cable operator rushed towards you, and requested you to
help him
out to repair the cable car and rescue the children. One of your friends told you that he had
left his
wallet containing money and important address in the near by teashop. You were also
required to reach
the college hostel to attend the function at 1700 hours. The time now is 1430 hours.
Write your actions and discuss a suitable solution.
Assume resources available are
a) a Jeep
b) traffic on the road
c) Phone at Local Hospital which is 6 Kms away from your location.
d) Road head is 2Kms from you
e) Fort is 4 kms away from you

An interview is a face-to-face meeting, especially for the purposed of assessing the

candidate for the job applied for. It aims at evaluating your academic knowledge,
awareness or current topics, communication skills, the clarity of thought and expression
and sense of balance, and ability to extricate you from tricky situation.
ISSB's: One of the most fundamental factors that contribute to the successful interview is
the time and quality of preparation made by. Normally the President/ Vice President of the
Services Selection Board will conduct the personal Interview. They are very senior Officer
from the Armed forces. Degree of preparedness for an interview helps reduce the uncertain
anxiety prior to the Interview.. The amount of effort you wish to put into preparation is
directly proportional to your out put at the interview. How to plan your preparation ?

information about the City in which you live, your School, College, place of interview and
places you have visited. Be sure regarding your hobbies. For example, if you have written
reading as a hobby, be sure about what you have been reading. Interviewer expects a
serious reply. He expects the names of the authors and then will ask questions based on
their themes. A serious reader will score over others who refer cheap detective, thriller
novels. The logic holds good for any other hobby you have mentioned in your PIQ.Be clear
of your favorite subject and area of you interest in the subject, which you are/have
specialized.
Refresh your knowledge. Then interviewer might ask you a few technical questions.A well-
groomed look gives an image of thoroughness and professional look.Your achievements
should be brought out in a systematic order as and when you are asked about it.Follow the
normal etiquette for the interview., Wait for the officer to speak first- Listen carefully before
you speak. Take a few long breaths this will calm down your nerves, after listening to the
question carefully, clarify your doubts if any, before you answer the question.Think well
before you answer. For more questions will follow your answers.
The New Technique adopted at the SSB Interview is RAPID FIRE questions. Listen to the
questions carefully. Think well before you answer, elaborate your answers and tactfully take
him on to your strong points. Do not over emphasize them.

Be very clear in your thought and expression. Don't speak in a low voice, be loud enough
so that interviewer don't have to strain their ears.Be brief, brevity is the hallmark of a good
communicator. Answer all the questions in a sequence.If you don't know an answer be
Honest. The Interviewer will respect integrity and honesty.NEVER Exaggerate.Never boast
about anything including your achievements.Never enter into an argument with the
interviewer on any topic.
Must Know these Stuffs:
1 The rank structure of the forces
2 The current events
3 Knowledge about your town
4 Your projects
5 Why you want to join the forces?
6 What will you do in case you do not get selected at selected?
7 (this is to see how determined you are in achieving your aim.)
8 Have a plan B in case you exhaust all the chances then you will
9 Take up ------- job.
10 When the interviewer asks you to organize a trekking event remember the following
points; or any other event the heading under which you can cover the preparations are:
11 Initial Preparation
12 Venue
13 Event
14 Specific Items need for the event.

16 On the day
17 Hospitality
18 Budget
19 Keeping the journal and recording the event

21 Maintain proper Eye contact with the person who asks you the Question. This shows
your Confidence and honesty.
22 Avoid using frequently words and phrases like" I mean", " You know", "well", "as such"
etc.
23 In the end you want to ask the officer any questions plese do so, if not then so politely
"I have no questions to ask you sir."
24 Last but not the least, BE NATURAL. When the interview ends.
If offered a Handshake, do so, if not just say, "Thank you for the
wonderful evening and put the chair back to its original position before leaving. Leave the
place with a warm smile and a nod of head. Close the door gently and leave the room.
Your Appearance..
Appearance makes the man. You should dress up for the occasion. Most of the time you will
be asked to attend the Interview in the PT. Kit it is better for you to keep a small pocket
Comb and a neat and clean Handkerchief. Freshen up yourself before you set foot in the
interviewers room. Your warm smile, excellent etiquette and a firm handshake will be
starting point.As we have
brought out earlier, RAPID Fire questions are the order of the. It means you will be asked to
answer a number of questions after listening to them just once. Please listen to the
question carefully. If you have not understood the question then ask for the clarification.
Try and answer the questions in the same sequence as put forth to you. Since the distance
between you and the interviewing officer would be about 6 feet, you are expected to talk in
a loud and clear voice. Take your time think and answer questions.DO NOT TELL A LIE. You
will be caught.
