"Practice with the right guidance changes everything.”       

 – Kartikey

The Early Dream

Hailing from Noida, Kartikey grew up in a boarding school where his fascination with the armed forces began as a child. Later, he pursued engineering from SRM Chennai but never lost sight of his defence dream.

After multiple failed attempts, he knew something was missing—he needed clarity.

A Call That Changed Everything

Kartikey had tried different coaching centers before but remained confused about the right approach. That changed when he spoke to Shashank Sir over a call and later met him in Delhi.

“That one conversation gave me huge clarity about what I was doing wrong.”

He soon enrolled with R2R, where not just Shashank Sir, but Sachin Sir, Neha Ma’am, and Anshika Ma’am guided him at every step.

What Changed in the 8th Attempt?

Kartikey believes his psych preparation was the biggest game-changer: 

✅ Shashank Sir’s Psych Strategy: He started practicing stories exactly as taught, aligning them with the demand of the picture.

✅ Daily Practice with Friends: He consistently discussed and practiced psych stories with Aditya Gudade and another friend, which helped him build clarity and consistency.
✅ Feedback-Driven Improvement: Shashank Sir’s feedback on each story helped him understand how assessors think.
✅ Boosted Confidence: With repeated practice, his confidence grew, and it reflected in every task. Finally, in SSC Tech 65, everything clicked, and Kartikey got recommended in his 8th attempt.

Balancing Work, Gym, and SSB Prep

What makes his story even more commendable is that Kartikey managed this preparation while working in a drone startup and staying consistent with his fitness routine at the gym. His discipline and time management added to his success.

The Most Challenging Stage

For Kartikey, psychology was the toughest nut to crack. He had struggled with it in previous attempts, but R2R’s psych sessions and story reviews gave him the clarity he lacked earlier.

His Advice to Aspirants

“Keep practicing, but make sure you’re practicing the right way. The correct guidance, daily discussions, and feedback can completely change your preparation.”
