I JOJO CHANKAN JOSEPH presently doing final year in Bachelor of Electrical
& Electronics engineering in Nehru institute of Engineering and technology,
Coimbatore, Tamilnadu .I love to do social works by organising blood camps,
making aware of political scenario to my friends. Earlier in 2011 I wrote NDA
because of compulsion of my grandpa who is Halvidar in Indian Territorial Army.
I’m not interested in joining armed forces because I saw how my grandma feels bad
about grandpa when he took adventure in life.so,because of his compulsion and
with no interest I wrote NDA cleared written exam ,appeared ssb –bhopal ,got
recommended ,went medical test got fit for all forces but funny things happened
around me.in merit list my name is not appeared,I understand I’m merited out. Then
in 2011 I joined engineering college with full interest in electrical subject.

| SSB Interview Experiance of JOJO |
In 2012, I came to hear
about 26/11 attack which happened on 2008, I heard about Maj.sandeepunnikrishnan/NSG,
Kerala who dedicated his young life for India. Then on 15 June 2013,uttarahand
flood occurs ten days after , on June 25 ,Indian air force pilot officer
Praveen Kumar dies in rescue operation he is from Madurai district Tamilnadu. I
was thinking “Y this young men age 22-30 ,dedicating his life for mother
country .I was little confused too. Suddenly on August 14 2013 INS sindhurashak got sunk in Mumbai
dockyard 11 officer died 7 missed following on feb 04 2014 INS sindhuratna got
sunk near Mumbai. On moral ground Admiral D.K.Joshi resigned his chief of naval
staff rank. I was thinking a man of high post resigned in name of moral
grounds. Fromfeb 2014 I goggled I learned value of officer like qualities from many
site,result of that is now I’m frequent visitor of ssb, 26*7*365 dreaming stars
,uniformed life.
Coming to my
experience in which I recently had in 12-SSB, Bangalore on march 15 2015. I need to
share many points to readers. Earlier after NDA I went attended Afcat exam in
2014, cleared attended 2-AFSB, but
conference out. When I’m in pre-final year I applied UES-24 in Indian army
screened out in campus interview itself. Then in month of June 2014 I applied
for UES-15 in Indiannavy, attended campus interview on sep 28 2014,cleared.
I thank to
”JayendraPratapsingh’,a good mentor of mine ,will reply in 24*7 around the
clock motivates me like dad. His words are like cement to build carrier in
uniformed life. I also thank brave “Tashi Mishra “ for her informative blogs.
So from sep 28 2014,I prepared to face ssb.
First tool:
Self Introspection: I’ll talk to myself in mirroreveryday,
address myself as leiutant officer. Searched for weak point worked on weak areas.
I stop working on my failures which I usually do. Now started working on
weakness.
understanding OLQ: yes, I goggled all.i took not as information.
But I changed personality like an gentleman officer.
On feb 10 2015,I got a e-mail stating I nominated for 12SSB
Bangalore ,and I should report on march 15 2015..First I booked railway ticket
to Bangalore on march 14 then I prepared al certificates got attested from my principal.
Got advise from defence friends ,grandpa. Meanwhile I prepared story for TAT 12th
slide, SD. seriously without knowing ourselves v can’t able to become officer.
I wrote a honest SD.second by second I’m got full prepared for face SSB bold.purchased dress shoes for GTO task.
On march 14 2015,I boarded train at 8p.m From Coimbatore and
arrived at march 15 morning 7.20 a.m. Morning when I arrived in MCO one man came to
me enquired about “R u came to attend ssb?”, I said yes.then he said sir, use
railway dormitory we will charge only R.s100 till afternoon 2.30p.m . Since I
need to get refresh I accepted the deal stayed in dormitory till 2.30p.m. there
I searched for other aspirants. I got one Tamilnadu friend who did campus
interview with me. His name is Mahendran. we both had good talk ,early experience
of SSB. Meanwhile two Andhra ssb aspirant joined the discussion.we introduced ourselves
.we talked mainly on politics of Tamilnadu, division of telugana. I took got
good refreshment.at 2 p.m we all completed our lunch and went to report at MCO.
There me and Mahendra searched
for south Indians candidate no one we found. We two don’t know Hindi too.
Candidate around us talking mostly in Hindi. So, we introduced ourselves to a
group of west Bengal candidate. Really good ones. Name are as follows. Sandeep
,Adhityapatuuva ,Ashish ,Kaushik, Dallthi, sandeep searched for a partner to
have smoke. he asked me “wil u smoke?, I said big yes. We went railway premises
had a Classic cigar. Then our SSB bus took all of us to selection centre south.
It looks like ghost house, We were made sitted in large room. Ground duty staff addressed us in Hindi.
I can’t understand single line. Bengali friends translated to me and to mahendran. while
sitting in room we met another Tamil guy name Anbu. We all were asked to write
PIQ, ("Read Sample Filled PIQ form here") TA, Identification form. Friends, don’t took PIQ a fun, really it will change your life if u arer true in PIQ. 210 candidate reported for certificate verification
8 of candidate routed home on various issue. it took almost 5 hours to complete
certificate verification for all. Finally at 9 p.m we got our chest number mine
is 171. Mahendran 173. Anbu 175 bengali friends got in-between 130-140.we all
made friends easily. A south Indian Jojo, got friends from many states without
knowing single line in Hindi, Feels good.
Deputy President of SSB arrived took small lecture on Do’s &Do not’s
of SSB. teached me value of sense of responsibility, because many had skipped
their lunch before reporting. Mobile phones are surrendered.
At 10p.m we got well-furnished
room, we kept our belongings in our room kaushik, ashish, Pattuvasandeep, Dallthi, Anbu, Mahendran
stayed together. I’m the alarm for my room. Sandeep asked “jojobhai, can v smoke?,
I asked How ,he said wv can smoke man. so we opened the window me, sandeep, patuuva
smoked a classic pack. We all sang different language song and slept nice at 4a.m
I waked my roommates’ all dressed formal took two pens, went to mess at 5.30a.m
they provide us with bread, jam, butter, two egg, oats, banana, diary milk.

202 candidate. Some of them slept in testing room for 30mint, at 7a.m we had OIR
test in two shift each 30minutes for 50marks each. Questions are so simple no
need of extra preparations. Then at 8a.m we allowed out for cup of tea. Then we came to testing room for PPDT TEST. Since my chest number is 171 I got seat only at
back of big room. Officer explained all procedures of ppdt..A picture is shown,

different way. i did good narration with hero intro, present, future ,stress
,overcoming of stress,results of hero. when chest number 185 stops narration I
took chance to discussion. I initiated with few points. funny factor is that ,after my discussion situation in seconds of time went harsh fish market. I
thought Mahendran ,anbu will hit Punjabi’s sitting opposite to him. Friends be
calm at fish market ,try to grab chance, let others to take chance good
leader,correct the group if discussion went wrong. Everything got over by 1.p.m
