31st July 2010, I was rejected from No.2 Air Force Selection Board Mysore. I was disappointed, disheartened for couple of days, but regain my consciousness soon. I felt if god is there, then he is testing my patience. I got my SSB call for Technical Graduate Course-112 and Coast Guard Technical Entry. My army SSB was on 13th of September in Bhopal and my Coast Guard Technical Entry SSB was on 21st of September on Chennai. I did plan to counter both of the SSB made my reservation. It was going to be non stop journey for me. I started preparing from scratch. I had fear of getting screened out, so I was concentrating on reasoning part of verbal and non verbal test, I prepared for my interview, brushed up my psychology. I knew I am making mistakes in my psychology but I was not able to identify it that where I am making mistake. I was making positive stories, was able to complete all word association test, was completing 50 situation reaction test question out of ...

5 attempts, 5 rejections. Not easy to digest so many failures. But victory belongs to the most preserving. I kept my patience, I was just 20 years and 9 months, and within few months I attempted 5 SSB interviews. People take a year or two, to appear in so many interviews because, a candidate need to travel long distances, and spent their 5 days for testing. I had seen many people, losing their patience, many said after the first attempt itself that they are not going to give a try again. May be that’s why they didn’t deserve to get selected. Mysore Railway Station  I decided that I am not going to lose my patience so early. I have more 6 years to give a try. But somewhere inside I was breaking up, I was not as strong as I was showing. But Rahul Singh Bharadwaj never quits. I had appeared for engineering knowledge test of Indian Air Force for aeronautical engineering course, AEC, and I cleared it once again. I got my SSB date 26 th July. I knew this is the chance in which I ...

After getting rejection in screening itself. I was little disappointed. I was not ready to accept this failure. I have always seen myself as a deserving candidate for armed forces. But something was wrong, which lead to my rejection in screening itself. I had applied for university entry scheme of Indian army, and I got SSB call for it.  As it clashed with my CDSE SSB, and I preferred CDSE SSB over UES INDIAN ARMY SSB, so I didn't appear on the first date. They called me again for the same course at Allahabad in absentee batch. Allahabad is considered as mecca of all SSBs. It is one of the oldest selection center in the country.  I had one month time, and I started preparing. I didn't concentrate on the reasons which lead to my rejection in screening. Once again I was preparing for psychology, interview and group task, which was the 2nd phase testing. I booked my tickets for Allahabad. I felt that may be I will make it in army. I was going w...
