Group Planning
You are a group of Nine college students, all of you went to River Kasi for enjoyin
g a boat
ride.
While you were going for boating, you saw a school bus carrying children for picnic
spot near
the River. When you started boating down the river, you you saw an Helicopter flyin
g very
low
and crashed near Fort, which was 2 kms away from your location. You also noticed th
at there
was a lot of hue and cry of small children, who got stuck in the cable car just nea
r to your
boating
site. Two of your friends who went to investigate the Helicopter crash reported to
you stating,
that the Pilot was injured and a box, which he was carrying was to be delivered to
ATC by
1500
hours, if not it would explode. The cable operator rushed towards you, and requeste
d you to
help him
out to repair the cable car and rescue the children. One of your friends told you t
hat he had
left his
wallet containing money and important address in the near by teashop. You were also
required to reach
the college hostel to attend the function at 1700 hours. The time now is 1430 hours
.
Write your actions and discuss a suitable solution.
Assume resources available are
a) a Jeep
b) traffic on the road
c) Phone at Local Hospital which is 6 Kms away from your location.
d) Road head is 2Kms from you
e) Fort is 4 kms away from you

An interview is a facetoface meeting, especially for the purposed of assessing the

candidate
for the job applied for. It aims at evaluating your academic knowledge, awareness o
r current
topics, communication skills, the clarity of thought and expression and sense of ba
lance, and
ability to extricate you from tricky situation.
ISSB's: One of the most fundamental factors that contribute to the successful inter
view is the
time and quality of preparation made by. Normally the President/ Vice
President of the
Services Selection Board will conduct the personal Interview. They are
very senior Officer
from the Armed forces. Degree of preparedness for an interview helps reduce the unc
ertain
anxiety prior to the Interview.. The amount of effort you wish to put
into preparation is
directly proportional to your out put at the interview. How to plan
your preparation ?
Preparation develops Confidence and gears you for the anticipated
grilling. Prepare the
following:
How to Tackle?
Write down in a neat and legible handwriting the PIQ form given to you (Please copy
it down
it is given in this CD). Try to put down everything in an orderly
and crisp manner. Revise
your Biodata thoroughly. Try to form your own questions based on it. Answer them to
your
full satisfaction. Check your BioDate for grammatical and spelling error.
Remember
discerning interviewer expects Zero error in the BioData.Try and collect as much in
formation
about the City in which you live, your School, College, place of interview and plac
es you have
visited. Be sure regarding your hobbies. For example, if you have
written reading as a
hobby, be sure about what you have been reading. Interviewer expects a serious repl
y. He
expects the names of the authors and then will ask questions based on
their themes. A
serious reader will score over others who refer cheap detective,
thriller novels. The logic
holds good for any other hobby you have mentioned in your PIQ.Be clear
of your favorite
subject and area of you interest in the subject, which you are/have specialized.
Refresh your knowledge. Then interviewer might ask you a few technical
questions.A well
groomed look gives an image of thoroughness and professional look.Your
achievements
should be brought out in a systematic order as and when you are asked
about it.Follow the
normal etiquette for the interview., Wait for the officer to speak first Listen car
efully before
you speak. Take a few long breaths this will calm down your nerves,
after listening to the
question carefully, clarify your doubts if any, before you answer the
question.Think well
before you answer. For more questions will follow your answers.
The New Technique adopted at the SSB Interview is RAPID FIRE questions.

to keep a small pocket
Comb and a neat and clean Handkerchief. Freshen up yourself before you
set foot in the
interviewers room. Your warm smile, excellent etiquette and a firm
handshake will be

brought out earlier, RAPID Fire questions are the order of the. It means you will b
e asked to
answer a number of questions after listening to them just once. Please listen to th
e question
carefully. If you have not understood the question then ask for the
clarification. Try and
answer the questions in the same sequence as put forth to you. Since the distance b
