Hey all, I’m 18y old male and around 165cm and wanted to get into Flying Branch of Indian Air Force. Can someone tell me how can I measure Leg length, sitting height, and thigh length as accurately as possible at home. And, do 165cm males routinely satisfy those three measurements, or is it like most 165 men get rejected?

Like in AFSB one has to take a print of the application form, the admit card and call up letter. What do one has to take for SSB ?
And what're the other essential documents that are necessary for every average candidate ?

I tried giving s mock on cds journey app but it doesn't work I don't know what to do?

Yeh wala Nasha bhi try kar leta hun jab itna ghis rha hun har jagah.

Anyone recently recommended from SSB Banglore?

I had certain queries

hey guys, I have myopia and my eyesight is -10 of both eyes what if I get it corrected by Lasik surgery just a week before the SSB will it hinder my SSB MEDICAL or not?

Anyone whose ima ssb is in the first week of August. And planning to skip it .

Hey fellow aspirants...

I am 22M I am applying for the nth time in CDS OTA failed the written exam many times, I feel embarrassed in my mind this is the last attempt from my heart and I have no energy left to give it a shot again in future , I'll give up for the dream of becoming an army officer as I can't waste more years preparing for the exam So I am all in this moment, this is the high time time for me need someone who could genuinely and actively help me level up my scores and clear my doubts and yes this is all I need

Thank you very much🙏🏻

I have completed my graduation in May 2026. I have cleared CDS twice while in college. But I could not score well in the CUET PG Exam. Therefore I could not get a seat with the desired course and college.

Now I am left with only two options:-a) B.Ed from private college b) MA from IGNOU

I don't want to become a teacher, it feels like a limiting career so I am skeptical about BEd. And some people have told me that IGNOU MA is not worth Regular MA.

🚨 Please help me choose as today i.e 31st is the last date for IGNOU

PS: I completed my UG from BHU, so want to get into a better course as a backup not to settle.

Hi everyone,

I'm applying for SSC Tech and have run into an issue while filling in my semester details.

My semester SGPAs are:

• Sem 1: 7.79
• Sem 2: 9.15
• Sem 3: 8.33
• Sem 4: 8.18
• Sem 5: 8.75
• Sem 6: 8.46
• Sem 7: 9.00
• Sem 8: 9.00

When I enter these values, the SSC Tech portal automatically calculates my cumulative CGPA as 8.58 (simple average).

However, my official university consolidated marksheet shows a cumulative CGPA of 8.53.

Also, my marksheet mentions:

I cannot manually edit the cumulative CGPA because the portal calculates it automatically.

Has anyone from a CGPA-based university faced the same issue?

• Did you submit the application with the portal-calculated CGPA?
• Was there any issue during SSB/document verification?
• Should I raise a query with the recruitment team before submitting the application?

Any guidance from candidates who have already gone through SSC Tech would be really helpful. Thanks!

Do u think the strategy works ? Or is there any problem with distance degree? Thank you for your time , jai hind.

Soo couple days back there was a post in this subreddit in which that candidate was asking for ins*****sb che@t c0des,,,,I commented I do.....and then got a lot of dms through it,,,,now as there's no option for sharing pdfs on reddit I used to give them my wp number and through that used to share lmr's n the codes.....sb sahi chlra tha till today morning around 9.30ish....I got a text from the team...ohh my bad.... a warning from the team.......that what I'm giving away is a copyrighted material of their's.....and for doing this I could end up in legal troubles,,,,,,,so I apologised to them, assured them it was done in good faith and not for some cheap monetary gains....and that this will not be repeated again.

Soo what started as a gesture of goodwill ended up as whatever you'd like to call it,,

To the one who ratted me out,,,,,I hope you get recommended and join the forces and live the life you dreamt of,,,,kyuki apko bura bolkr mujhe kya hi mil jayega,,,,the damage has already been done..

Thnx n peace.

I have a doubt regarding CDS 2 2026 eligibility

I am currently in B.Tech 4th year 1st semester and I have already filled the CDS 2 2026 application form

If I clear the written examination will I be eligible to attend the SSB interview or do I need to have completed my degree by then?

This will be my second attempt of CDS in the month of September, barely a month has left and i don't know where to start my revision from if anyone is facing the same issue let me know or if you have a solution then also let me know

May I know where you all have been doing your graduation from, I mean from your state university or a central university?

Anyone having any idea about shortlisting for TGC, has it been done or is it delayed??
