Rapid fire questions in SSB Interview

During the personal Interview of the SSB Interview. The Interviewing officer i.e. IO generally gives two rapid-fire questions that a candidate is required to answer. The questions asked are related to your personal life. You surely can’t reply I don’t know.

Please explain more

IO will ask a long question i.e. it will be a single long question but with many short questions in it. When so many questions will be asked you surely will come under pressure and how much you retain under pressure and how you react is what the officer wants to judge.

What kind of question will be asked?

IO will ask something like.

Tell me your educational qualification from 10^th onward up to graduation mentioning the school in which you studied, year in which you passed the exam, branch/subjects you studied, percentage of marks obtained and tell me one subject you liked the most and why and one subject you hated most and why?

There may be slight variation in the above questions may be IO remove or add any more parameter that you need to reply or he may ask about your favorite teacher instead of subject or may ask both.

Please understand that here we are trying to make you understand about how to answer not what to answer.

To reply that question one thing is must that try to keep the order of your answer in which the questions were asked. Don’t answer about 10^th, Graduation and then 12^th Class. Answer the details with 10, 12 and then Graduation. Try to answer maximum possible questions. There is no question that you can’t answer but the thing is how you will retain under pressure what is being asked or in other words how much information is retained by you under pressure.

Probably by the technique/method that we will discuss here, you will be able to answer each and every question.

When the IO is asking you the question listen carefully to him.

When IO asks then for years just remember Y for years, P for percentage, S for School and B for Branch/Subject i.e. a code for the particular item. So for the above question you need to just remember YPSB. (If you keep S for School and Subject both then you need to be aware of that or better if you keep another symbol as we have taken” B”).

Now, all you need to keep in mind is YPSB. Don’t try to mug this code while IO is saying something to you otherwise you will miss something important that IO might say.

When you tell about 10^th class just keep in your mind YPSB and answer Year, Percentage, School and Branch/Subjects that you studied in 10^th Class. (No need to mention all subjects mentioned only a few important subjects). Don’t just say 2010, 75%, XYZ School. Say in a paragraph like I completed 10^th Class in 2010 with 75% of Marks for XYZ School. Similarly, you can answer for 12^th and Graduation.

For the question of the favorite subject, no need to tell favorite subject for each class, tell only one subject that you like and one that you don’t like out of your academic life and surely if you like or dislike something then there must be some reason that you need to mention.

The second rapid-fire contains questions related to your family. You can use the same technique as above to answer that rapid fire question.

Important

The Questions asked are something related to your personal life, you are the best person to answer it. But the only thing is you need to answer too many questions at one go. There is no need to mug up the answer, you can easily reply many questions using above method.
