R ASHUTHOSH SRIVATSA
Greetings everyone ,I Ashuthosh Srivatsa got recommended from the AFSB from 18-22 November 2024 in 4 AFSB Varanasi under the AFCAT 2 2024 entry….
The Alpha lead academy played a huge role in my preparation for this Recommendation….
I had been conferenced out twice and screened out twice prior to this attempt….the repeated group discussions that were conducted …made me analyze how I could handle the fish market in the discussion part of PPDT…Giving Multiple psychological tests helped me realize my errors and the valuable insights by Abhinav sir and Gajendran sir as to what is actually seen by a psychologist while assessing was a boon to have !
The total top to bottom feedback by Manoj Dayal sir after each interview helped me improve my non verbal communication, I learnt to truly say out what I intended to and learnt that the words we speak should justify what is mentioned in the PIQ!
The guidance of GT tasks by Surendranath sir was one hell of an experience…since he guided me on each of those 9 tasks… Taught how to be ” assertive , accomodative , decent ” at the same time while putting in our points in the group discussion, in the GPE he taught us a good approach to prioritizing and solving problems with efficiency!
The outdoor group testing was the best part where in he pushed the brain constantly for more n better ideas….and that did work a lot in my actual SSB… The regular speaking practice as guided by sir helped me deliver a decent lecturette in the SSB …overall
If GT has to be summarised….as sir would always say …” If you have THAT Fire in the Belly…you will Sail through the SSB for sure “
My overall preparation for the SSB has been the constant practice of stories, SRTs , WATs and getting them analyzed by Abhinav sir , I introspected on the probable questions by the interviewing officer as guided by Dayal sir …and made notes on them , I kept my physical fitness going good and exercised my mind by understanding the basic principles behind each idea in the GT tasks ! Overall this has been a huge turning point in my life….I know this is just the very first step, there’s a lot more to be done ….
But I definitely owe my recommendation to the Alpha lead Academy and all its assessors fully !
