Personalized Training

How Can we help SSB Aspirants
SSB is not exactly a knowledge intensive exam, it is more of a psychology oriented exam, and an exhaustive process related to personality assessment over five days conducted at any one of the SSB centres Pan-India. You cannot shape and mould your personality within a tenure of a few weeks or months. It is your thoughts and actions that define it.
Having said that, it is but natural to question the efficacy of a coaching institute to clear an SSB.
What we can do however is to help candidates get familiar with the procedures and protocols of this recruitment and selection process which is unique to the Indian Armed Forces. We can help to make you aware of your latent qualities so that these are visible during SSB and thus increase your chances of selection.
Information available on the internet and certain books that claim to help are often misleading, because there is often lack of understanding about the holistic approach to selection, especially if the candidate does NOT have any background of psychology that is highlighted in the books / internet videos and other material.
Our endeavour throughout the process is to help candidates appreciate the right approach to various tests at the (Psychological battery of tests/ Group tasks and Interview) while helping them to preserve their originality so as to “Be Themselves, and to be able to PRESENT THE BEST OF THEMSELVES”. This for us is our core differentiator.
Through our training processes and individual attention to aspiring candidates who train with us, we aim to bring out the best in the individuals by familiarizing them with the process, giving them real time and hands-on experience first hand of all the tests and tasks and instilling a high degree of confidence about their own abilities to succeed at SSB.
Success Stories
Heartiest congratulations to our candidates who have been selected for the 142nd course of National Defence Academy commencing in June 2019 and to our candidates who have cleared the SSB Interview for the various entries into the Army / Navy / Air Force.
