SUVARSHA GOWDA

I Suvarsha Gowda, My journey toward my first recommendation at SSB East Prayagraj through NCC special entry 57th course was both challenging and rewarding. I always dreamt of joining the armed forces, but I knew that the path to selection required more than just a desire. It needed preparation, focus, and discipline.

I began preparing for SSB well in advance, knowing that the process would test not just my physical endurance, but also my mental resilience and personality. The first thing I did was understand the stages of the SSB selection process. Each stage required different skills, so I made sure to work on them individually.

I enrolled in a reputed AlphaLead academy, Mysuru where I received professional coaching for the SSB. The academy provided a well-structured training schedule, covering both the theoretical aspects and practical tests. Mock interviews, group discussions, and mock tests were conducted regularly, which helped me get familiar with the process and improved my performance. The trainers, many of whom were former defense officers, gave me invaluable insights into what the SSB examiners were looking for.
A heartfelt thank you to Retd. Group Captain Abhinav Chaturvedi Sir for his invaluable personal feedback. His guidance and support were crucial in my success. I am truly grateful for his mentorship throughout my journey.

Finally The feeling of joy and pride was indescribable. It wasn’t just the culmination of weeks of preparation, but a lifelong dream coming true. The path showed to face the SSB by IO, GTO and psychologist has brought historical change in my life.
