Hello friends I have a good news to share with you that I have been recommended for the INDIAN ARMY and also got All India 3rd rank In Information Technology Branch. Friends this was my dream to get into army and serve the nation. I was preparing for it since child hood. In the journey of preparation and hard work I got opportunities to meet some excellent personalities. I strongly feel without their guidedance, inspirations, Methods tips and tricks, this achievement would have been impossible for me. I really felt I should share my experience of SSB(Service Selection Board) for Army Officer so that the needy student can take some help from my little knowledge and experience.
The SSB comprises of 5 days schedule which further comprises of stage 1 and stage 2. The successful candidates of stage 2 have to stay back for 5-7 more days for their detailed medical.
Stage 1:-
This stage is also called screening. This stage is comprises of verbal /non- verbal test in objective format and PPDT(picture perception and Discussion Test).
Verbal/ non-verbal tests are very easy. But time given is very less, hence candidate has to be very quick and correct in his response.
Tricks and Tips for verbal/non- verbal Test
Their will be two test having 50 questions each. First solve very easy questions(are those which can be answered by just reading question only) and leave the rest. Then again start from the beginning and now solve slightly difficult from first ones and go to end. Now again start from beginning solve slightly more difficult and finally solve the most difficult. By this approach you will find that every question has been solved.
Even if u find some questions very difficult or not in your range then go for hit and trail method because there is no negative marking in verbal/non-verbal test.
PPDT
IN PPDT a hazy picture will be shown to you which will be describing some situation and you will be made to write story on the picture .
Tips and Tricks
Your story should be around, what lead to the situation what is going in the situation and what will be the outcome of the situation.
You should not describe the picture itself.
Preferably, make a story which yields positive output.
Rule for analyzing given picture
First look at the center of the image then go extreme left of image ,then go clock wise and come again to same point by this technique you can note almost every detail of the image. These details are very much required in writing and discussing story hence be focused will analyzing picture.
Narration and Discussion part of the story
After writing story candidates are made to sit in groups of around 8 to 16 candidates in each group for narration and discussion of the story.
Tricks and tips
While narrating the story, the key of success is confidence apart from it clear, loud voice good communication skills and positive body language also play vital role in impressive narration.
DISCUSSION
The most important part of the screening test called discussion of the story. The 90% of the selection in screening is based on the discussion of the story.
Tricks and tips
You must initiate the discussion. If some how you can’t initializes discussion you must be the 2nd or 3rd speaker.
You must speak at least 4 times in discussion.
You should not repeat your statements will discussion.
Never go in one- to one conflict with any other candidate But Always address Group not to any individual while discussion.
Never Become the Part of the fish market, but in such situations your duty must be control the group in a gentlemen way.
Remain cool, calm and collective while discussion.
Friends these were the some key points for the stage 1 but the real betel is stage2 of ssb. I will also update some tips and tricks of stage 2 very soon till then…….
Jai Hind.

Living wages
Today i had HRM(Human Resource Management) University Exam and there was one question which i had not went through during preparation... Even then i had attempted and ironically it was write.
i would like to share that question and answer with you.
define living wage?
ANS:-
Living wage
Living wage is a term used to describe the minimum hourly wage necessary for shelter (housing and incidentals such as clothing and other basic needs) and nutrition for a person for an extended period of time (lifetime). In developed countries such as the United Kingdom or Switzerland, this standard generally means that a person working forty hours a week, with no additional income, should be able to afford a specified quality or quantity of housing, food, utilities, transport, health care, and recreation.
This concept differs from the minimum wage in that the latter is set by law and may fail to meet the requirements of a living wage. It differs somewhat from basic needs in that the basic needs model usually measures a minimum level of consumption, without regard for the source of the income.

mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER,
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES ON drupal.* TO 'drupaluser'@'localhost'

Things To do In University Exams
Well, the topic seems bit strange to the reader but really if you are a university student then this title must raise your ears .
I am a pre-final year student in the Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College, Ludhiana(india) my college is under ptu (Punjab technical University ) jalandhar. after spending three years in the university i concluded few things that are very help full in the ptu exams . these things are nothing to take with your subject knowledge :) .... interesting naa.....
that simply means without any subject knowledge or with very little subject knowlege you can attain good marks.
following are the few things that can be very help full in the ptu exams:-
1)Don't worry about the content your writing but your over all presentation should be good because checker hardly spent 2-minutes to each paper. he just saw how well you have present you thought.
2)To make good presentation use black pen, pencil underlining and other designing stuff. NOTE- you can write any thing related to answer but that should look good.
3)Never leave any answer blank. No matter you know the answer or not. Remember one thing SOMETHING WRITTEN IS BETTER THEN WRITTEN NOTHING.
4)Use diagrams for making your thoughts more clear in the answers. if you have understanding of answer then make your own diagram and relate it to the answer.
5) If you not have any idea about the question asked in the exam then break the question in sub parts and generate the meaning of each part and relate them to each other you will definitely get a long story to write .
6)In very long answer type use DDD technique thats id (Definition, Diagram, Description).
7)Fill half Page for 2-marks answer, 2 pages(both side) for 4-marks , 4 pages(both sided) for 8-marks.
8) you should more believe in 10 year(M.B.D) instead of your text books.
9) After exams Don't refer your text books to compare your answers. you may get disappointed for the next exam.
10) Result does not depend on your performance in exam but on the checker style of checking.
11) even if you got Re-appear don't worry . it the process of university for collecting the funds to compile their losses. take a deep breathe and give some donation(form fees) to university.
