SSB Interview Do you have it in you?
Many candidates who are not good in speaking English generally asks this question that is it necessary to speak in English in SSB Interviews. Today we will discuss this question at length.
In short, the simple answer is “NO”, it is not necessary to speak in English in SSB Interview. If you are not comfortable in English you can answer in Hindi, even you can use Hindi to write the responses in Psychological tests.
The officers during SSB Interview will themselves give instructions that you can use either Hindi or English or combination of both. Service Selection Boards are not interested in the beauty of expression they are interested in knowing what your thinking is and you can express your thinking better only in the language in which you are comfortable.
Is there any advantage of speaking in English?
No, there is no such advantage. What the SSB Boards want to see is your potential to be a good army officer, English is something that you can learn in one month if you are put in an environment with many people speaking English.
If you have studied with English Medium
