My Story Of Getting Unfit In SSB Interview Medical

I will not share my SSB experience rather I will share what happened after I got recommended. It is more than a success story. 18th of March, 2019. I got recommended from Selection Center South (Bangalore) 12SSB for Indian Navy for SSC UES (JUN 2019) course and I still remember the happiness and confidence I felt for the whole day, It felt like I was in the clouds and looking forward to a bright future.

On 19th, the medicals started and everything was marked ‘healthy or fit’ but on the last day of medicals, I got unfit for eye lesion, that I have since birth. Before SSB I got myself checked with medical officers regarding this and I was confident of getting FIT for the same, but I instead got unfit and they gave me 42 days to report again in Base Hospital Delhi. I went to many doctors and everyone I know from Defence forces and everyone said “ Don’t worry! It is just a birthmark”.

After first medicals everyone in my village knew that I was recommended, due to police verification, Gazetted officer’s verification and also village pradhan came home to congratulate my parents.

Again in Delhi, I got the rejection for same and they did many tests one by one and I still remember the wordings from AMC Medical Officer that “Unfit ka reason to dena hi pdega”.

Yes, I applied for Review medical boards as well and got unfit for the same. Just because of SSB I skipped my joining in one of the reputed firm because I believed that “Never sail in two boats together” and every one suggested me to do the same.

Every plan, dreams are shattered and I can’t describe how my family, friends, my mentor and every one felt. It was like a big shock for everyone.

I was like frustrated by everything because I did not have any second plan, after a month I recollected myself and made myself ready for a new journey. I completely focused on my training in electronics and my mentor always helped me throughout the journey.

On 24th April 2020 After a long recession in electronics, I joined an organization as a Physical Design Engineer. It took much time to get here but still I never gave up.
