Appeared NDA / CDS / AFCAT Written Exam?
Here’s Your Complete Guide to the Next Steps
First of all, Congratulations on appearing the written examination of NDA, CDS, or AFCAT!
This is a reflection of your hard work, discipline, and commitment to joining the Indian Armed Forces.
However, it is crucial to understand that the written exam is only the First Stage.
The Services Selection Board (SSB) Interview is the real gateway to becoming an officer.
Success in the SSB requires a completely different approach compared to the written exam.
SHATRUJEET ACADEMY will guide you step-by-step on what to do next and how SHATRUJEET ACADEMY can MENTOR you in achieving your dream.
1. Understand the Importance of SSB Interview
While the written exam tests your academic knowledge, the SSB interview tests your personality, leadership potential, Officer-like Qualities (OLQs), and mental robustness.
It is a 5-day long process involving various Psychological Tests, Group Tasks, Personal Interviews, and Outdoor Activities.
Key qualities assessed include:
- Effective Communication
- Confidence
- Decision Making
- Team Spirit
- Leadership Potential
- Mental Toughness
📝 Tip: Start viewing yourself not just as a candidate, but as a Future Officer.
2. Prepare for the SSB Interview — The Right Way
The SSB is not about “mugging up” answers; it is about showcasing your Natural Officer Qualities.
You need Professional Guidance to understand the intricacies of:
- Screening Tests (Day 1)
- Psychological Tests (Day 2)
- Group Testing (Days 3 & 4)
- Personal Interview
- Conference (Day 5)
It is here that Expert training makes all the difference.
