SSB SESSION WITH GROUP CAPTAIN SANGEETA KATHAIT(RETD)
DOON DEFENCE ACADEMY-THE TEAM OF EXPERIENCED INTELLECTUALS, IMPARTING THE STUDENTS THE BEST DEFENCE COACHING IN THE WHOLE OF INDIA’
In an online session, Mrs. Sangeeta Kathait-the retired Group Captain of the Indian Air Force and the SSB Psychologist is taking a class on Psychology with the DDA students. She is telling the students how to handle the SSB interview and how to answer the questions asked by the screening committee. The SSB interview is divided into three parts- the GTO TEST, the Personal interview, and the Psychology test. She is telling the students about the Psychology test which comprises four subdivisions including the TAT-Thematic apperception test, WAT-Word Association test, SRT-Situation reaction test, and SD-Self description test.
She tells how the students need to tell the assessors about their strengths and then also tell about their weaknesses. She tells how the students should confess their weaknesses to the assessor. She tells how the students can acknowledge their weaknesses and tell the assessors how they are working on those weaknesses to be able to face the SSB interview more confidently. She tells how the students how they should tell that they are trustworthy enough for their seniors to trust them with any responsibility. How the students are guided by the seniors can also be conveyed to the assessors.
She tells how the students should write about the targets assigned to them by their seniors. In the senior’s opinion, the students need to write about the targets set by their seniors for them and that the students have been able to fulfill the targets in the best possible manner. The students can’t say that they are aggressive or stubborn. She gives an example of some students who feel that their general awareness is not up to the mark and they need to improvise and develop their personality by becoming more aware of their surroundings. The best way for them would be to start reading newspapers regularly and discuss the same with others about the information they have gained so that their communication skills can be enhanced. The students need not write negatively about themselves like not writing that they are aggressive or stubborn. Once the weakness is improved by identifying it, it is no longer a weakness and so there is no harm in telling how you are so laborious as to work on that weakness. She tells us how to clear the various levels of interviews. The first one is the goal-setting level. She also specifies that the students need to communicate their ideas in the best possible manner by choosing the most appropriate language so that the message reaches the evaluator correctly and is not misunderstood. She also tells how the students tell about their extraordinary achievements. She tells how the students need to go for an in-depth analysis of any idea they want to convey to the evaluator. She tells the students how to complete the tasks and targets given in the stipulated period of time.

RAVINDRA-A DDA STUDENT WHO WAS SELECTED FOR AIRFORCE AGNIVEER-SHARED HIS WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE
“SUCCESS IS NO ACCIDENT. IT IS HARD WORK, PERSEVERANCE, LEARNING, STUDYING, SACRIFICE, AND MOST OF ALL, LOVE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING”
Mr.Umesh Kuniyal welcomed a DDA student who recently got selected for Air Force Agniveer. Ravinder a simple village dweller from Mathura(UP) joined DDA in 2019 to prepare for his Defence competitive exams. During his training sessions, he appeared three times for his NDA written and qualified for it but unfortunately, he was screened out during his SSB interview. He also qualified for his Merchant Navy exam-(IMU-CET) successfully with a score of 600 marks and 99 all India rank and his Indian Navy exam too. Since his dream was to be recruited into Indian Air Force, he decided to join the Indian Air force in the Agniveer Vayu category. Recently after a lot of hard work and complete dedication to achieve his goal, he was finally recruited into Indian Air Force Agniveer and this time his SSB round went well. The reason why he could not qualify as he lacked communication skills and could not qualify for the Group discussion round. He confessed that DDA helped him and supported him immensely with his speaking skills and it was because of the DDA faculty and the kind of motivation they provided, he could make it to his selection and could realize his long cherished dream of being with the Air Force. Had he not taken the support of DDA, he really could not have achieved his aspiration. The DDA fraternity wished him good luck for his future undertakings and he expressed his gratitude to all his mentors for their immense contribution to shaping his personality and his life.
Congratulations to Ravindra
DDA IS PROUD OF YOU
