ssb coaching Academy
Filling up a Personal Information Questionnaire is to be practised
Make it impressive
Here is a view point of an aspirant we at defence academy coimbatore
offer 14 days coaching and our Former Dy president of SSB ,will tell you how to go about
While filling the PIQ form, there are sections which ask you about
your achievements in different things. While some of your academic and
extra-curricular records are full of achievements, some of you were
probably a quiet child in school and college and thus do not have that
much of achievements. Those candidates who do not have that much of
achievements often feel a little conscious on seeing candidates having
so many of them. They feel intimidated and become nervous as a result.
The question here is, are achievements important from SSB’s point of
view?
What achievements are we talking about?
If you have achievements in different aspects it certainly means you are good in that thing. It is not necessary
that you should have achievements regarding studies only, or regarding
sports only. You can have achievements in any field. Everybody has their
own zone, and they are masters in their zone. No achievement id big or
small, if you have done something small too, it is important and
noticeable. Here we are talking about all kinds of achievements, it can
be winning a small debate in your class or it might be a national level
thing, both are equally important. However, it is highly advised that
you should mention only those which you have a certificate for. You
should be able to back up what you are saying, and should be in a
position to answer questions related to that event.
Are they decisive in selection?
Not really. SSB is to look for Officer Like Qualities. Having
achievements show that you are good and confident. So from that point of
view they do cast an impact. If you have been a person who used to
participate in a lot of activities and bag prizes for the same, then
definitely you have the confidence to face the public, be a leader and
be good in something. They certainly play a vital role in enhancing your
personality. So if you look it this way, they do help you in certain
way. But one thing to keep in mind is that no amount of achievement is
going to help if you are not having the OLQ’s and even if you don’t have
any achievement then too having OLQ’s will definitely put you through.
What if I don’t have any achievement?
As mentioned above, if you have it in you you’ll make it through,
irrespective of the number of achievements. One thing I want to mention
here is that everybody has potential and everybody has something in
which they are good at. Identify that thing. And maybe you have certain
achievements but are not sure whether to put it or not. My advice is do
put it, no matter how small it is. However keep in mind that if you have
a lot of achievements then mention the big one’s only, and ignore the
small one’s. Everybody has a hero inside them, it’s the time that you
wake that up and identify.
