GTO - Few basic questions of GTO Sir..

Dear Friends ,

If you have noticed that in every SSB during your outdoor tasks ,GTO ( Group testing Officer) ask certain questions to each and every one. One thing I want to make very clear to each and every aspirants that , you are there( SSB) for some specific and serious business and none of the officer will entertain you by asking useless questions. Everything and Every question will have a meaning.

OUTDOOR TASKS -

• When you will meet your GTO for the very first time then he will introduce himself and  he will explain you about the complete procedure. During his interaction he can ask few things which are not related to any selection procedure. May be on few generalised subjects like " My son want to take admission in engineering college but we are confused about branches, As you all are engineer's , what are your opinions?" All of the candidates start giving their opinions.., but in this session few want to forcefully put their opinion , Although each and every are replying but dominance will not work. One side you are denoting each and everyone as a gentlemen and on the other side your behaviour is just opposite to gentleness. 
• During Half Group Task.. GTO divide the complete group in two or three sub groups. DO not run your mind on finding the concept behind this division. Although GTO has divided the group by taking some rational approach which will help him to get understanding of each and everyone's behaviour. You only perform the task and leave rest of the things.
• During your command Task , GTO will have one on one conversation with you . He will ask about yourself, your place, your current job or what ever you are doing. Then he can ask one question to you " In your opinion who deserve to get recommended in your group" now this question can tell a lot of things like your confidence level , your perspective towards your group , why you think a certain chest number deserve to get selected while other's not , and many many more things..... 
• For your command task GTO ask you to call 2 helpers from the group. He can ask " why you are calling these two" what is the reason behind it...

Whatever reply you give that must have some rationality in it. Do not represent a personality who is just answering because someone questioned him. 

Caution - " Listen to his each and every instruction very very carefully" If some doubt occurs then ask the questions but do not ask for the sake of just asking. During my GTO one candidate asked a question , and GTO gave him a very sweet reply which i can never forget -

Candidate - Sir ,  How a GTO selects a candidates? I mean what are the qualities he is looking for ?

Sir -  (Gave him a very stern look ). When you will become a GTO then you will come to know and your chances of becoming a GTO are very rare.

Candidate - I am sorry sir.

Sir - Do not be sorry . In fact thank you , you made my job little bit easier.

Remember he is not their to chit chat with you. If he is getting formal with you then it's fine but you always be in discipline... " aisa nhn ki GTO tu to bhai hai apnaa..."  

When your testing is complete then he will tell you to ask anything. This time you can ask but do not commit any mistake or stupidity. Think twice before asking anything.. ALL THE BEST

JAI HIND..
