Friends, No one (except few) in this world is a born genius, we all learn after coming in this world. The same is the case with leadership qualities, every day we come across many people who influence us and we unconsciously take their qualities. For some individual, it may be a teacher for some parents or any other personality.

Is taking coaching a Crime?

Taking coaching for SSB is not a crime, the only thing the assessing officer want to judge is that you really acquired the officer like qualities and not cosmetically displaying those qualities after taking coaching. If after taking coaching you truly acquired the officers like quality then no one is going to stop you from donning the uniform (if otherwise fit).

If you acquired the officer like qualities by coaching then only point that the officers at SSB Interview are concerned about is that whether you will keep those qualities in future when the situation demands a real leader. They don’t want to recommend a candidate of dual personality, i.e. for the sake of getting a job, he/she is brave, bold, confident, sacrificing but when in reality such a situation arises the person back off.

It all depends on officer!

Friends each individual has a different perception, some view coaching as an aid while others may be not of the same view. However, don’t worry about this all officers are intelligent enough to find men out of boys.

Can you really hide the fact that you have taken coaching?

Trust me, dear, you can’t. Ask any repeater even he/she will be able to tell you that you have taken coaching or not and you are trying to fool officer having years of experience.

What to do if you have been asked this question?

You can’t stay quiet on this question you certainly have to answer this. One way of answering is that you took guidance from your friend/teacher/officer or from the internet (there are many good resources on the internet) but this is just a guideline from our side. If you have been asked this question then chances are that your performance is really good and you are mentally fit for defence services. The only concerned the officers have is whether you keep those qualities in the pressure situation or not.

It’s entirely your choice to disclose the fact that you have taken coaching for SSB Interview. Here we just tried to give you some outline, here you will not find any definite answer to this question because we haven’t written this for any definite answer.

P.S.

No need to tell by yourself whether you have taken coaching or not. Answer as per your own choice only if an officer asks you this question.
