Conference Out ! How to do Introspection?

Introspection is the key to self-improvement, especially after setbacks like getting conferenced out. It helps you identify your strengths, weaknesses, and areas for growth. Here’s how you can introspect effectively:

1. Reflect on Your SSB Performance

Go through each stage of the SSB process and analyze:

Screening (OIR + PP&DT): Did you perform well in the aptitude test? Was your story logical and unique? Did you participate well in the discussion?

Psychological Tests (TAT, WAT, SRT, SDT): Were your responses spontaneous and natural? Did they reflect OLQs (Officer-Like Qualities)?

GTO Tasks: Did you contribute effectively in group discussions? Were you an active participant in outdoor tasks? Did you show leadership and cooperation?

Personal Interview: Were you confident and truthful? Did you answer personal and current affairs questions well?

Conference: Did the officers ask you any specific questions? This could indicate areas of doubt they had about your selection.

2. Analyze Your Strengths and Weaknesses

Write down:
✔️ What you did well in SSB
❌ Where you felt uncomfortable or underperformed
This will help you create a targeted improvement plan.


3. Ask Yourself Deep Questions

Why do I want to join the armed forces? (Is it passion, job security, adventure, etc.?)

Am I showing officer-like qualities in my daily life? (Leadership, responsibility, adaptability)

How do I react under pressure? (Do I stay calm, get nervous, or become aggressive?)

What are my biggest fears, and how can I overcome them?

Am I taking responsibility for my failures, or do I blame external factors?

Write down your thoughts honestly in a journal.



4. Seek Feedback from Others

Ask mentors, SSB-experienced candidates, or friends about how they perceive your personality.

If possible, get your responses in psychological tests evaluated by an expert.

5. Improve Your Weak Areas

For psychology tests – Practice TAT, WAT, and SRT daily and ensure your responses align with OLQs.

For GTO – Work on physical fitness, confidence, and group coordination.

For the interview – Improve communication skills and knowledge about personal details, academics, and current affairs.

6. Track Progress and Try Again

Set specific goals (e.g., "I will improve my confidence in group discussions by participating in 10 debates before my next attempt").

Keep a journal to note daily improvements.

Give mock SSB tests and take feedback seriously.

Final Thought

Introspection is about honesty with yourself. If your ultimate goal is still to join the defense forces, work on self-improvement and attempt again with a better version of yourself. If you feel a different path suits you better, explore other opportunities like SSC CGL, CAPF, or NEET.

History Of Indian Coast Guard

Laying the Keel (1977-78) Join Our Telegram Channel 'Delta SSB' for daily updates Ever since the 1960's, the Indian Navy had been requesting the Government of India for setting up an auxiliary service for Maritime Law Enforcement and undertaking "Safety and Protection" tasks in Indian waters. Deployment of sophisticated and high-value naval warships and assets was clearly not an optimal alternative for these tasks. In due course, this logic of the Navy was accepted by the Government, especially due to the fact that by the early 1970's, three other important factors contributed to the rationale for the early institution of a 'Coast Guard' service. Sea-borne smuggling across the seas was rampant and threatened the nation's economy. The existing maritime agencies such as the Customs and the Fisheries Department did not have the capability to contain this large scale smuggling activity, and intercept illegeal vessels even within territorial waters.
