Jai Hind!! Ladies and Gentlemen. I'm Arun Singh Tomar. I have cleared CDS and AFCAT written exams for 6 and 5 times respectively. I have dedicated my 3 years and 11 SSBs to get a recommendation from SSB but unfortunately I didn't get one. However, those failed attempts and a vast experience of such failures taught me a lot of things and I'll share them with you here. You can follow me on Instagram at arun.singh.tomar and get daily updates about my podcasts, articles and short videos about SSB and written exams.
