                 IMPRORTANCE OF MAKING FRIEND AT ISSB

One of the most important things you have to do at ISSB is to make friends. You have to start making friends right from the moment when you enter the ISSB centre gate, or perhaps before that e.g. Rahwali check post waiting room.

The question might come in your mind, why make friends with these guys who are there to get selected? They are my competitors. Why would I be friends with them? Or other thoughts might arise like “ Nahe he seems like a paindo”, “oh no he is from another city, ill make friends with guys who are from my own city”. Or “4 din ke tu bat hay, phir in sy tu kabhe milna he nahe ho ga, phir dostian bananay ka kia fada?”

Well the answer to all these questions fall in two categories. One is that its perhaps the first and only chance where you get to make friends from different parts of the country. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a friend from Lahore, another from Multan, one from Rawalpindi and another from Sahiwal, perhaps someone from Quetta, Karachi, Hayderabad or Peshawar. You will realize in the later stage that these friendships last quite long and are quite beneficial. I know I met some of the best guys here, some of them are still my very good friends.

The second category is of strategic alliances. Now what does that mean? It means that you have to make friends for your own good. Just think, you are at a new place where there are 60 or 100 guys, all strangers. For most of them this is the first time they are out of their city, in fact for some of them it’s the first time they are not going to spend night at their home. They might look OK but inside everyone is a little bit scared; the same kinds of feeling which you get on the first day at school. Everyone would be shy, not talking to one another. At that time if you break the “Glass ceiling” that can do wonders. If you start gapshap with others, like asking them where are they from, how did they reach ISSB, where did they study, it would make them feel that you are a nice guy and a friend. They would naturally be tilted towards you and you would feel that you are not in a strange place anymore.

What is most important in these friendship ties is that if these friends you make are also in your GTO task group, they can help you a lot. Those who lack confidence and who are scared would take you as your leader and your friend in time of need, giving you confidence and opportunity to look good before GTO. GTO looks at the fact that who is shining in the group, who is the one everyone looks up to as the reliable one, the one who is blue eyed boy of the rest of the group.

During the interview, and when GTO tasks end, all the members of the group are asked to rate their fellows. Now if others are your friends and take you as their savior, there are chances that they will rate you No.1. If that rating is supported by your performance in tasks and other tests of GTO, its very likely that you got the GTO’s vote of recommendation. The MOST IMPORTANT vote of all.

                                            WHAT THE WANTS FROM YOU

At ISSB, they are looking for alert, motivated candidates who have the potential to complete the long. Arduous and expensive training which faces all newly commissioned officers in the service. The selection board is looking for many things, such as clear thinking, the ability of remain calm under stress and strain, team skills and willingness to participate. We don’t want you to be dull or spiritless. Be honest, straight forward and frank. Don’t display over confidence, false projection or superficial behavior. Certain private institutes and coaching centers established in the country train the candidates for passing ISSB tests. You are advised not to join these for training and guidance. The training imparted in these centers is too restricted and brings in rigidity in thought process. It mars the original personality of the candidates who are caught in dilemma when confronted with a new situation.



Appearance

You can tell a lot from a person’s appearance. Show us you have got a sense of personal pride.



Self-confidence

Self confidence and maturity are largely the product of experience. You can strengthen these qualities by participating in group activities, taking on responsibility and exercising independence.



Expression

We look for people with good expression, may it be Urdu or English, clear direction, a good vocabulary and sense of grammar. Try to develop these by joining in debates and group discussions.



Academic ability

Good academic results mean you will be good at absorbing the training of advanced and sophisticated equipment. Make you English and mathematics sound.



Leadership

If you have got the above qualities you will have a greater potential for leadership training. Try and seek out positions of responsibilities in academic, youth, social or sporting activities.



Fitness

Take adequate physical exercise in the run-up before you report at ISSB.



Motivation

You should be convincing and sincere in your reasons for wanting to join Armed Forces. Make sure you really know for what and why you are applying.



Awareness

We are looking for people with an awareness of the world around them, and an interest in military matters. Discuss current affairs and Defence issues with your parents, teachers and friends and keep yourself up to date with a good newspaper.



Conclusion

We hope these points will have given you some idea of what to expect and that it proves useful to you. You are advised not to consult any coaching centre for guidance. It will not only adversely affect your original performance but is also likely to mar your personality pattern. We wish you all the success at ISSB. May Allah the almighty help and guide you in your future life.

Helpful Hints for Progressive Group task
In tackling the obstacles of "Progressive Group Task", there are as a matter of fact, three main principles which are involved. They are, lever, bridge and swing. The plank or planks that are employed as helping material can be used either in the form of a lever or bridge according to the circumstances. A rope should invariably be tied, as the case may be, to the remotest end of the lever or bridge. This is very essential because it becomes impossible for the candidates to get or pull back the plank once they crossed over.

Some of the fundamental rules which the Group Testing Officer clears to the candidates before beginning the task are;
1. Out of Bounds Rule
The whole ground area and any other structure painted red between the start line and the finish line, and their helping materials and loads are out of bounds to the candidates. There is punishment for any candidate or any object that touches the out of bounds area. The defaulter have soon to go back to the star line of that obstacle. If any object touches the out bounds areas, then the object should be carried back by the defaulter to the stat-line and then it should be brought forward again.
2. The Four Feet Rule
The candidates are not permitted to jump any distance exceeding 4 feet either in length or in height. Such distances, are to be crossed with the assistance of the helping materials (ropes or bellies).
3. The Group Rule
Every obstacle should be crossed by the whole group with its material and load, before the next obstacle is tried by anybody in the group.
4. The Time Rule
The task should be concluded in 40 minutes. There is no time limit for each of the four obstacles which are included in this task.
G.T.O (Group Testing Officer) Test

Group discussions
The group discussion or group discussion task has assumed great importance. In the Group Testing Officer Task or G.T.O Task, the candidate creates the first impression on the Group Testing Officer (G.T.O) and other members of his group. The good performance of the candidate in the task of group discussion creates a good impression on the Group Testing Officer, and enrich his role in subsequent group tasks. As first impression is the last impression, hence the candidate must try his best to show his worth in group discussion.

During group discussion all candidates are arranged to sit in a circle. In the beginning every candidate introduces himself, like which city he belongs to, his educational qualifications, hobbies etc. Thereafter, the group discussions exercise begins. In this task, usually, two subjects are read out to the candidates and they are required to choose one of them for the sake of discussion. The subject which is agreed upon by the majority of the candidates is accepted by the Group Testing Officer for discussion.


Group Planning Exercise
This exercise begins soon after the Group Discussion, It is an outdoor task, where the Group Testing officer reads out the narrative and with the help of the sand-model or sketch map explains the situation to the candidates. The map or model contains the scale, legend etc. If the candidates required any clarification to some pints, then it is cleared by the Group Testing Officer. Thereafter, the candidates are to write down their individual solutions in the paper provided for the purpose. The candidate are not allowed to consult each other while writing down their solutions. The candidate have to write down their chest numbers on the tip of the writing papers. The time for this written work is about 10 minutes. Thereafter, the candidate are required to discuss among themselves the situation and problems so as to arrive at a group solutions or plan. Every candidate is desired to express his views on the situation. All the candidates must arrive at a group plan. In the case the whole group is not unanimous in deciding the solution, then the plan accepted by the majority of the candidates is presented as the plan of the group. Then one of the candidate who is selected by the group itself stand up as a spokesman and present the plan to the Group Testing Officer. The time limit for discussion presentation is the observation and study of natural phenomena all around him. The time limit for discussion and presentation of the group plan is usually 20 minutes. After the presentation of group plan, the Group Testing Officer may ask the other candidate to give comments or criticism or suggestion. If any, to improve or modify the plan.



Progressive Group task
This task falls in outdoor series of tasks. In this task a group of 8 to 0 candidates are required to cross 4 obstacles of hindrances or restrictions in 40 minutes as a whole group. In tackling these hindrances, the candidates have to attach much importance to bridge, lever and swing as well as the helping material which they have to carry while crossing obstacles. Group testing officer will explain the nature and rules of task in the beginning.
Half Group Task
In Half Group Task candidates of a group who are, usually 8 to 10 are divided into two groups. In this task, each half group has to face only a single hindrance. They must carry the main material and the helping material with them, on crossing the obstacle to the other side of the obstacle.

Example
Within the starting line and the finishing line, there are two wooden platform Q and R and a moveable drum P. The middle portion of the drum which is marked red, is out of bounds. There are also three small planks lying outside the starting line. The candidate should cross over from the starting line to the finishing line with the aid of those small planks.
Personal Interview
In interview, generally, such questions are put to the candidate which bring out his common sense, his familiarity with the current national and international happenings and current social and political trends of the world.

Remember, the person who conducts interview is not merely interest in his mere knowledge. Its gibes close attention to the candidate's reactions to various situations. It may, intentionally, endeavor to upset the mental stability of the candidate in order to discover his true personality. The Interviewer may attempt to annoy or provoke him by pronouncing his incorrectly, by not offering a chair to sit immediately, by asking to person certain odd errand, like, fetching water, serving tea, removing some furniture, etc. It is against respect to his by deliberately attributing certain wrong statements to him, pointing out to certain sports on his clothes, mixing up of personal facts. There are instances, where the interviewee has been asked to sing a song, recite a poem, crack a joke, etc. Such curious situations are coined by the Interviewer for bringing our the true value of the interviewee. In all such odd circumstances, the interviewee should attempt to retains his calmness and presence of mind.

Usually the subjects for interview are Indo Pak history, World history, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, General Knowledge, Current affairs.
Final Group Task
In the series of Group Testing Officers' outdoor tasks, the "Final Group Task", is the last task. The time allowed in this task is usually 10 minutes but generally it is shortened by one or two minutes. As this task , once again is a task of group as whole, hence the qualities of team spirit, co-operation, initiative, proper planning, etc will count much.

Example
In the following obstacle, the candidates are given a rope, a plank and a structure. It is also their duty to take wounded man on the structure. The red portion is out of bound in this task.

Command Task
In this task, each candidate in the group, is selected in turn as commander by the Group Testing Officer. The commander chooses three or four candidates as his assistants for tackling an obstacle. The commander will be successful in his task if possesses qualities of a leader. He should be very intelligent in the selection of his assistants, in imparting them proper brief instructions, in getting labor out of them and assisting them properly whenever required. The assistants of the commander should also strive for the success of their leader. All the way, they should carry out his orders with sincere spirit and loyalty. The main purpose of the Group Testing Officer in the performance of command task, is to assess the value of the candidate as a commander. He also gets a glimpse of the qualities of the assistants of the commander, The candidates should also prove themselves to be useful, sincere, and loyal subordinates.

The time allowed for the execution of the command task is usually 10 minutes.


Helpful Hints
• As a commander he should avoid seeking any suggestions from his subordinates.
• In order to perform the duty of a commandership the candidate should avoid to do the work himself. He should supervise the whole work. At times, if necessary, he can extend his helping hand to others in the performance of smooth work.
• The candidate as a commander, must see that nobody stands idle.
• He must give utmost importance to the items of planning, supervising and execution of the work.
• He should select a place which can enable him supervise the work in a most efficient manner.

Questions from your personal life
You should be prepared to answer questions about your personal life, the interviewing officer will give special stress to the hard times you might have seen during your childhood, if you ever lived in a hostel, away from your parents etc. You remember the form you filled when got selected for issb and at your first day at issb? that form contains nearly every important question regarding your personal life. You should not take it as a negative sign rather answer each question calmly and provide them with the original facts and figures. You should not feel ashamed of being poor or if you have faced hard time in your life rather its a plus from others that you have made up this point with such difficulties in your life.

Some of the basic questions they’ll might ask from you are:
Family background
Anniversary date and year of your parents (parents ki shadi ki date or saal).
Was this the first marriage of your parents.
Your fathers occupation.
Your mothers occupation.
No of siblings (bhen bhai) and your no.
Ever quarreled with your siblings? if yes on what issues?
Did you ever helped you younger siblings in their studies?
You ever felt of being alone (if you are the only child of your parents).
Ever wished to have a sister too (if you don’t have one).
Why your sister isn’t married yet (if she is elder and in a age near to marriage).
Your families total income.
Your grandfather occupation.

and many more, obviously you know yourself and your family more than me so it will never be a problem if what you have stated in your information form is all true.

Your Academic Career
Same as your personal life, your academic life span tells a lot about, were you good at studies, sports, you discontinued your studies somewhere in between? if yes then why so what were the circumstances. Why are you good at some subjects and why bad or even worse in some? (I was real bad at mathematics, hope you are not). Remember what you write in your issb form and not to repel with the information you already provided as another purpose of interview is to verify your provided information once more.

Some of the major questions includes:
Marks in matric (Secondary School, O’levels)
Percentage of marks in matric
Marks in Inter (FA / FsC, Higher Secondary School, A’levels)
Percentage of inter
Address of your school, college.
What subjects you are good at, why so?
What subjects you don’t like and why?
Why your academic graph dropped once while you were maintaining your position previously (if this had happened).

Mathematical Question:
Weight.
Time.
Space.
Speed
for example: Two cars are moving in opposite direction with a speed of 120Km/h and are 500meters away from, how much time will they take to pass each other?
Trick: Most of the questions asked are based one the tables of different fractions some of which includes: 1/2, 3/4, 1/4, table of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.25 etc.

Physics
Pascals law.
Boyle’s law.
Resonance.
Charles’s law
Newtons Law ( 1, 2 and 3)
and other from your physics book of 9th and 10th.

Social Life
Social life is all about how you behave socially, how you live your life outside you home with you family friends blah blah and yes, what you do on facebook as well now a days (this must be a valid and rock solid question now a days). The interviewing officer will ask about your friends, no of friends, bestties (best friends) and the habbit of them you like a lot.Some of the generic questions they might can ask are as follows:No of your friends.Male, female, ratio.Best friend.Some good habits of your best friend.Some bad.Amount of your facebook/social friends (this was asked from one of my friends in PMA 127)Males/ female, ratioBest friend there.and obviously some other as well.

Pakistan Studies
Nothing can be more important than the country you are going to fight for in forces, and this exactly elaborates the importance of Pakistan Studies when it comes to ISSB. It will be worth mentioning that once I meet an army officer who was appointed as an interviewing officer at ISSB kohat that time and in his briefing for the preparation of ISSB he clearly mentioned me that the statistics, weather conditions, border length (often asked) and every detail you may found about our homeland, Pakistan should be on your finger tips. I will never recommend a candidate who doesn’t even know whats the border length of ours with Afghanistan and what it is called. “Wo shahkas Mulk ki hifazaat kya khaak kare ga jis ko ye nahi pata humari Afghanistan se sarhad kitni hai?”. I hope I have made my point clear, else than this the topic name itself describes the purpose.Expected Questions:Border Length between Pakistan and Afghanistan?What is Radcliffe line?

History of Pakistan Armed forces
The force you are going to join wants you to know at least the bases on which it propagates and grown if not the whole details for sure and that is why interviewing officers always ask questions related to Pakistan Armed Forces, majority ask about Nishan-e-Haider and the names of recipients of this awards. You can find the list of the martyrs who were awarded Nishan-e-Haider here for your preparation. In addition some other questions can be asked as well but majority of the interviewing officers stick to the recipients of Nishan-e-Haider and Inter Services Ranks. View Inter Services Rank List here.Expected questions are:When Captain Muhammad Sarwar was awarded by Nishan-e-Haider?Army Captain is equal to which naval officer rank?Name of the Chief Commanding officers of Pakistan Army, Air Force and Navy.Importance of armed forces.ISI is an abbreviation of what?Role of our forces in Indo-Pak wars.

General Awareness
Armed personal should not only be sound when it comes to his body but should also act accordingly when it comes to his mind. He should know not only war tactics but should also keep an eye on whats going on and where and that is what ISSB requires from you. It doesn’t mean that you should know each and every thing ever made found or lived on earth but it elaborates the meaning of being aware generally. This will sound pretty vague in interview when you’ll be telling the officer that sir I have done my intermediate in Maths and I have no idea what read blood cells are or how blood is circulated in our body.

General Knowledge Questions

In ISSB questions regarding general knowledge are often asked keeping in view the age, experience and social circle of the candidate. A rough estimate tells us that only 10% is of General Knowledge. At ISSB interviewing officer will mainly stick to the following information:Name of Countries and their capitals.Geo location (Geographical location of countries)Name the current president, leading political parties.Current international situation.Expected Questions:Where Germany is located.Tell names of three countries located in Central Asia.The current government in United States is either of Democrats or Republicans.

Religion
Expected Questions:
Difference between Hijri and Nabwii.
No of Surah’s in Quran, total count of Madni Surat’s and Makki.
Total no of Ayahs.
Which Surat is called as Bab-ul-Quran.
Which Surat is known as Kalab-ul-Quran,
In which hijri Ghazwa-e-Badar was fought.
and many more …

And people with religion other than Islam, the interviewing officer might ask you some thing about your own beliefs so get yourself prepared. We have never encountered such situation so are unable to justify.


Current affairs
Important events occurred in Pakistan and at International scope during the few last years. Our foreign policy, current political standings, important activities happening all around the world.

Expected Questions:

We are unable to provide you a specimen this time as current affairs keep on changing and that is a reason they are known as current affairs. We apologize for your inconvenience
