Personal Interview at SSB Banglore - My Experience

It was the third day at SSB Banglore , we were completed with our Psych Test as well as the GTO tasks , now it was our  PI (personal interview) that left for the last day before Conference . As according to many experts , Interview is the most deciding part in someone's recommendation so all were very nervous . I was the last to be Interviewed among 86 who qualified first round . At 6 PM on the last day my name was announced and I was there standing outside President's room for my turn . So I entered the room with a file of all my documents in my hand .I was little bit nervous as there were lot of scary stories I was told from my childhood about SSB interview .
As I entered the room President said " Ashish Chauhan , have a seat ". After placing  my documents file on President's table I sat on the chair in front of the Interviewer.

"So Ashish , tell me from where you are ? " here the first question came
"Sir , I am from Hamirpur , Himachal Pradesh"
"Ok , tell me two kinds of people who should not come to Hamirpur "
After a pause of 2-3 seconds I said
"Sir , the persons who expect Malls , Big building , high Internet facilities , those should not come to Hamirpur and guys who are not a good Judge of Beauty should not come there" He started smiling.

"Now tell me about your Education , where you studied , your percentage , where you are studying now , what your parents think about you , what your teachers and friends think about you , what you think about yourself , your strengths and weakness and finally how you are improving your weaknesses ?"

At this moment , had to remember the sequence of questions and their order. I answered all the questions very well .
Then he asked me "Why do you want to join Indian Navy as you are from NIT , and you will get a good job from there "
I was well prepared for this question as this was asked from all the candidates.

Then he asked questions about NCC like "From which wing you are ? How many camps you have attended ? Which rifle you had used ? What is the range of that Rifle ? Tell me the names of target ? 3 techniques of swimming ? Number of sails in D K whaler ? How a ship works ? How to communicate in Sea ? Name all the Morse codes ? etc"
As I am NCC  'C' certificate holder , so was knowing all the answers.

Then he moved towards General Knowledge questions "Tell names of 3 countries in Africa , North America  South America and Australia . Where is Black , Yellow , Red and Dead sea and why they are named like that ? From where moon rises? Why moon rotate around earth ? Tell me the formula of Gravitational force?
Why Sun Stands still ? "

After that he moved on to PIQ (Personal Inquiry Questionnaire) and asked me about my Hobbies and questions related to them like : Tell me Difference between SLR camera and Digital Camera ? What is Exposure time and Shutter Speed ? First movie of India ? How that was captured ? How pinhole camera work ? What is the height of Badminton net ? Dimensions of badminton court ? and some questions about designing

So , the interview lasted for one and half hour and he was quite happy , reason may be my interview went well or I was the last candidate to be Interviewed :)
It was very nice experience and One advice to future aspirants "Never Get Nervous During Interview because Interviewer always try to Check the Patience"
