NDA SSB Interview – Tricky Questions
The SSB interview tricky questions which are generally asked by the interviewer to check your ability of dealing with different life situations. Along with the questions, we find it as our duty to aware the students on the approach they should apply to answer those questions in the interview round.

Your Approach: Generally, to this question, candidates start counting their mistakes. They start speaking on the errors that they had made in various tasks during their previous SSB attempts. This is an absolutely wrong way to deal with the question. Instead, you need to focus on your improvements from the last attempt. You can highlight that your performance during the ongoing SSB has been fairly satisfactory as per your own judgement.
Sample Answer : Respected Sir, I realize that in previous attempts, my physical strength and speaking skills were inadequate. In fact, so many responses of mine lack down by every means. But, i can assure you that from last 5 months, i am working on it.

I love dedicated people who put 100% effort in their task. But, at the same time, i am full of flaws and i am constantly working to improve them. And i must say that each and everyday, i am turning into a better person. I know, once i will be selected here, i will get better chances to acquire more good habits.
Question 8:
Tell me your motivation behind opting NDA?
His Intentions: This question is always asked to examine your intense passion for defence services. Interview Officer wants to know that how much blood you can shed for your ambition.

They are not paying you to die on the battle field. You can say that your parents are the true motivation. They encourage you all the time to serve the country.
Sample Answer : Sir, my father is an ex serviceman in Indian Army. From my childhood, whenever i saw him in uniform, i felt an intense respect and urge to do the same.

Your Approach: First of all, you have to understand that Interviewer is not indicating at your rejection. So, there is no need to get into the flow of emotions. Don’t ever answer like you will die if you would not be selected or you will loose all the hopes in life or something like that.

#Question 10:
Tell me three qualities of your best friend that you do not like.
His Intentions: IO is asking this question because he want to examine that how much optimistic you are, how you take things, and more than that, how much you analyze things in a positive way.
Your Approach: As the interviewer has asked the drawbacks of your friend, the real challenge is to make the answer optimistic. You have to deal with in such a way the, even in his negative points, the positivity can be showcased.
Sample Answer: Sir. My Best Friend Ankit is an excellent artist and also do well in his academics, but the problem with him is the lack of concentration. He never utilize time well and this is what i always dislike about him.
Secondly, being a topper of our school, he sometimes become overconfident about himself. I think, confidence is good but in limits. He can do much better with proper level of confidence.

# Question 11:
Why has your percentage dropped from 10th to 12th ?
His Intentions:Here, he is not trying to discourage you, instead he wants to know that how much you have learnt from your past experience.

Do not ever blame anyone like your teachers or your friends for your less marks.
Sample Answer: Sir, i think, at that time i was a bit childish and spend most of my time in wrong direction. But, now i have learned the importance of time management. Time has taught me a lot and now i am so much more responsible than ever before. I think, less marks in class 12th made me a better person and give me the best lesson of life to improve myself in a much better way.
# Question 12:
Why should I select you?
His Intentions:First of all, you need to understand that what is the main motive of the examiner to ask this question. He wants to know that how much you are aware of your true potential and what can be expected out of you as a potential officer material.
Your Approach: This is the question in which you will get the best chance to express your potential and positive points.
Sample Answer : Sir, my father is an ex-serviceman in Army and from my early childhood, i felt an intense respect and love for his uniform. It bring me goosebumps whenever i think about my passion of joining Defence Services. I came in contact with so many officers and get to know the scope and responsibilities of an officer in the forces. I am totally influenced by them and want to become one among them. Today, as I look upon myself, I feel that I will be able to shoulder the responsibilities assigned to me as an officer and live up to the great traditions of the forces.
# Question 13:
Are you more close with your father or mother? and why?
His Intentions: Here, Interview Officer want to examine that how you tackle difficult choices of your life.

Sample Answer : Sir i am so lucky person to have such great parents. They both support me a lot in my decisions. I am very close to both of them. As my mother is a housewife and father generally stays out of the town for some or the work, so i interact more with my mother.
Let me put on guard that the sample answers are just a suggestion from our end. And you must modify them according to the question.
Real Interview Story
# From Aspiring Model To An Upcoming Army Officer
Things were not going good as that was my 5th attempt on 13th October after clearing conference round on 10th October. I lost all hopes and thoughts were there to go back to home without even attempting this SSB completely. But at the same time, i was so distraught that how can i go back to home and that is too after quitting like this.
One friend in SSB UNDERSTOOD MY SITUATION AND TOOK ME TO HIS HOME IN ALLAHABAD. At first, i was reluctant but finally decided to stay and give my 100% again.
But this time i’m gonna experiment with myself. I want to go free minded, no panic, nothing, just did not think of recommendation for a single time and resolute to give my 100%
So many aspirants were asking about the interviewing questions of previous SSB recommended candidate. So, here is mine.
Sir : Ask 3 wishes from God if he appears in front of you. One for each, mother father and friends.
My Answer : For father, i said, my father met with an accident and rods were inserted in his leg to make him walk. So I want, he get as fit as he was before.
For mother, I said that she is not educated so I want her to be adorned with education so that she could see the transformation in herself being educated.
For my friend, i said, he has done his B.A and MA and then again BSC and MSC so that he can fulfills his dream to become a Geologist. Thus, i want him to get a job in ONGC as a Geologist.
Sir : OK assume that your parents fixed your marriage with a less educated girl. Then ?(I knew, the question was in the response to my wish for my mother )
My Answer: I said, sir i will convince my parents to look for an educated girl
Sir: No, they are not convinced.
My Answer: Sir Education is not everything. I will talk to her and if i will find her good then i will marry her
Sir: What will you talk?
My Answer: Sir, talks that upcoming husband and wife do(with a genuine smile)
And from here the enjoyment started with all ease.
Sir : OK. Assume me as your upcoming wife. So talk in the way, you will talk to that girl (this was shocking as i never faced such questions and heard about such an atmosphere in interview room.)
From then, the entire interview was in Hindi, although, i spoke some of the part in English but sir was totally speaking in Hindi.
So I started asking.
Me: Why didn’t you completed your study ?
Sir: He replied in a complete female tone answering, “mai to padhna chahti thi, mere papa ne pdhaya hi nhi bs 10th tak hi pdhne dia hai par mujhe kadhai, bunai, silai, cooking sab sikhaya.”
(i started laughing)
Me : I asked “do you want to continue study ? ”
Sir : Yes, of course.
Me : OK. I will allow you.
(Here I stuck for sometime.)
Sir : Bass 2 sawal puch ke shadi karega?
Me : No sir. I will talk more
Sir : Bol na fir.
(i was hesitating)
Me : Then i asked, joint family me rahogi ya bs mere sath.
Sir : Mai shadi tumhare sath kar rahi hu tumhare parents se nahi. of course, tumhare sath rahungi.
Me : Mere papa ka accident hua hai, he is not well. Mummy ki tbyt bhi kharab rhti hai. rhna to sath he padega.
Sir : Chlo thk hai tb to reh lungi.
Me : Main toh border pe rahunga agar mujhe kuch ho gya toh mere family ka or bacho ka khyal rakhogi ?
Sir(Angrily) : Ha rakhungi. Ye bhi puchne ki baat hai kya ?
Sir : Agar mai marr gai toh tum mere mummy papa ka khayal rkhoge ?
Me : Tum kaise marogi.
Sir : Kaise bhi. heart attack se margai toh ?
Me : Ha rakhunga na, baki tmare brother to hai hi.
Sir : Dusri shadi ni karoge ?
Me : It depends on our child’s age.
Sir : Lets assume, there is no child, then?
Me : If girl’s parents and my parents want me to start a new life then, I will do
(He smiled and wished me luck for the conference.)
I was so confused that what actually he has got from these answers. But, i must say that it was my best interview till date. At last, i will suggest that the best way to deal with the interview or entire SSB is to talk with your friends, your partner, your teacher and your family and ask them what they like in you and what are your negative points and see how you can improve yourself? Look if you can make your qualities better.
Moreover, observe their positive and negative qualities and try to understand them. Talk with your parents, ask stories of their struggle, their good deeds so that you can correlate with Thematic Perception Test and Word association test.
Write it daily for 5 to 10 days in addition to filling of PIQ (Personal Information Questionnaire) before SSB.
I did the same after one of my recommended friend suggested me because SSB revolve around your life which is incomplete without friends, teachers and parents.
Let me assure you one thing: Continue your struggle, sooner or later, you will definitely get that positive sign of recommendation.
Conclusion
I always suggest students to give their 100% in interview but this does not mean that you have to change your personality to give your best. Your genuinity and truthfulness is what matters till the end.

Sir,i am Gourav i am studding in class 10th, and i have NCC ‘A’ , ‘B’ and ‘C’ certificate. What are the benifits of having NCC certificate in NDA? Will i get any special privileges in SSB interview?
Indian army holds a special entry scheme for men and women having NCC ‘C’ certificate. Those who are eligible for this scheme can directly appear for SSB interview without any written exam. But to apply for this scheme you need to have graduation degree, since you are just in class 10th therefore there is a lot of time.
Even if you do not apply for this scheme and qualify for ssb interview by cracking the written exam, then also having NCC ‘C’ certificate will benefit you as preference is given to NCC certificate holders in interview.
Sir i have a question about NDA written exam i have read somewhere that if i score more than 85 PERCENT in 12th class than my written exam is automatically cleared and i have to go only for SSB. Sir, can you tell me it is right or wrong?
Hello Himanshu, there is no direct entry for SSB in NDA. But, through TES (technical entry scheme) students with Science (math) in class 12th who have scored more than 70% can appear for SSB without giving any exam. But, 70% is the minimum criterion, candidates are selected on the basis of cutoff that is usually more than 85%. So, yes what you have heard is right, but it’s TES (not NDA). Though, the post you will get through TES is same as NDA, but the work profile will be different.
Hello sir, I am a student of +1 class. Can I give NDA 1st test next year?
Hello Manoj, you can participate in the NDA exam (given that you are eligible age wise). But if you pass all the tests and are given join letter, then at the time of joining you must have your 12th pass certificate with you, else you will not be allowed to join.

Sir, i am an nda aspirant and have a dream of joining the armed forces. But i have a bit of communication problem.I hesitate some times while speaking. So Can you give some advice regarding that?
Hello Devraj,
Since English is a language just like Hindi, therefore, practice is the only way to get fluent in it. Surround yourself with English, try to speak in English as much as you can. Also, it is not necessary to give interview in English, you can speak in Hindi. All that maters is how well can you express yourself not matter the language.

You can apply for NDA when you are at least 17½ years old. If you are eligible ages wise, then you can apply any time.
Sir I am in 11th at present can I give the nda 2 exam in 2018
Hello Somesh,
If you are 17½ or more, then you are eligible to apply for NDA. But, remember that you will need to provide 12th final mark sheet. So, if you are sure that you will have your 12th mark sheet with you till the month of June 2019, then you can apply.
Hi sir,
I have a NCC ‘C’ certificate. What are the benefits of this certificate in NDA? and what are the benefits of NCC ‘B’ certificate in NDA.
Hello Diwakar,
Candidates having NCC certificates are given preferences over other candidates. If there are more than 1 candidates having NCC certificate, then preference is given on the basis of certificate i.e ‘C’ holders are given preference over ‘B’ and so on. And if there are more than 1 candidates having same certificate, then candidate who is older is given preference.
Hello sir. I am studying in class 12 now and I attempted the NDA 2 exam but during form filling by mistake I filled my education as 12 pass but still I appeared for the exam and hope to secure good marks. What steps should I take so, that my mistake don’t create any further problem.
Hi Kulvinder.
Well if you clear the written exam then you will get your call letter for SSB and hopefully by the the time SSB will be conducted and final result will be released(most probably next year) you will have completed your 12th and then you can take your certificate. And in case you have to present your certificate before that then you will have to explain it to the authorities that you are still in 12th and if your performance will be good then maybe there will be no problem for you.
Hello Sir. At present I am studying in 11th class. Am I eligible for NDA exam? how many chances I will get for NDA exam? Please reply as soon as possible.
Hi Kaushal.
As, you have mentioned that you are in 11th class so, at present you are not eligible for NDA exam. According to the eligibility criteria only 12th appearing and 12th pass out students can apply for this exam. So, next year when you will be in 12th you can apply for NDA exam. The exam is conducted by UPSC twice a year but the number of chances that you will get totally depends on your age. As the age limit criteria is 16 and half to 19 and half years.
