Shubham Vats comes from Delhi and graduated from Amity University, Noida. Growing up, he saw several cousins in the Army—listening to their stories, watching their discipline, and observing the pride they carried in uniform. That exposure quietly planted a thought in his mind: one day, this could be me. Like many aspirants, Shubham didn’t jump into preparation straight after college. He was a working professional, balancing career responsibilities with a growing desire to join the defence forces. When he finally decided to give SSB a shot, motivation was high—but clarity wasn’t.

“The day I stopped trying to impress the assessors and started understanding myself, everything changed.”
Shubham’s first SSB attempt (AFCAT, Varanasi) ended at the screening stage.
That screen out wasn’t just disappointing, it was confusing. He had prepared “his way,” written stories “his way,” and answered questions “his way.” Yet something clearly didn’t align.
Being a working professional, he knew he needed a structured online approach, something that didn’t just give content but explained why things worked the way they did.
That search led him to R2R.
What changed first wasn’t Shubham’s answers, it was his thinking.
At R2R, he began understanding:
GTO, which earlier felt unpredictable, suddenly became logical through structural analysis. Psych tests stopped being about “writing good stories” and started becoming about projecting your real personality correctly.
Most importantly, R2R helped him build confidence, not through motivation, but through clarity.
Armed with this new understanding, Shubham went for his second attempt—SSC Tech 64, Allahabad.
This time, he wasn’t trying to impress anyone.
He got recommended.
And it didn’t stop there.
He appeared again for AFCAT at Varanasi, the same place where he had once been screened out and secured his second recommendation.
Shubham’s mantra is simple but powerful:
“First know yourself, and then be yourself.”
Instead of asking “What should I write?”, he started asking:
This self-awareness became the foundation of his performance.
For Shubham, psych was the toughest nut to crack.
“Hum likh toh dete hain apne hisaab se,” he says, “but we don’t know how the assessor is reading it.”
With guidance from R2R, he learned how to see his responses from the assessor’s perspective : what qualities they look for, how consistency is judged, and how personality gets reflected across tests.
That clarity removed guesswork and replaced it with intention.
Shubham’s journey isn’t about shortcuts or tricks. It’s about alignment between who you are and how you present yourself.
Sometimes, success in SSB isn’t about adding something new. It’s about removing confusion.
And once that happens, results follow.
