What is SSB Interview? If you are a novice, you can find some very good information from a previous blog post of mine titled: Indian Navy SSB Interview Prep material. SSB Interview is held for different Indian defence entrance/recruitment exams such as NDA, CDS etc. So there may be some variance with respect to the Interview that you would actually face for 10+2 Technical Cadet Entry scheme. However I am sure the materials posted in the blog article would be immensely useful to you. I would love to know about your experiences in this exam. So kindly post the same as a comment to this post.
