When you grow up inside defence campuses, you don’t just see the olive green — you live it.
For Mr. Anoop Bisht, a young boy from a small village in Rudra Prayag, Uttarakhand, this early exposure planted a dream deep within:
to serve the nation, not just as a soldier, but one day as an Officer. But like every real success story, his journey was anything but easy.

“Failures don’t define you. What you learn after each one does.”
Anoop joined the Indian Army as a sepoy even before turning seventeen.
Like many service candidates, he didn’t know much about officer entries when he first joined. But with time, exposure, and maturity, a desire began to grow — a longing to wear the stars on his shoulders.
While serving, he completed his graduation and a diploma in physical education, all while managing duty, postings, and family.
This discipline alone speaks volumes about who he was becoming.
His posting as an instructor at IMA Dehradun was the turning point.
Standing in front of future officers, training them, guiding them — the fire inside him reignited.
He wanted to be one of them.
Four Attempts. Four Conference Outs. No Clarity.
Between 2020 and 2023, Anoop gave four consecutive attempts — SCO and then PCSL.
Each attempt ended the same way:
Conference Out. No clear feedback. No idea what went wrong.
This is the silent struggle of thousands of SSB aspirants — you try, you fail, but you don’t know why.
During a posting in Israel, he met other service candidates preparing for SSB.
They told him something simple:
“Try R2R once. It will change your preparation.”
He took that step.

The Turning Point: The Mock Interview That Changed Everything
Anoop still remembers the first day he interacted with Neha Ma’am at R2R.
Her mock interview wasn’t “just another practice session.”
It highlighted shortcomings he never even knew existed.
For the first time in four attempts, someone told him:
This clarity ignited hope.
He trusted the process, attended every session, and absorbed actionable micro-actions that R2R is known for.
What Changed in His 5th Attempt?
Anoop realised something powerful:
SSB is not about giving big promises — it’s about showing who you naturally are.
Under R2R’s guidance, he learned to present his life with:
✔ Emotion
✔ Purpose
✔ Thought
✔ Authenticity
For example:
Instead of giving a diplomatic answer about his salary (which was high due to his posting in Israel), he reflected on the real reasons he wanted to become an officer:
These small, real-life actions — things he did every day — became his strength.
He stopped “trying to impress.”
He started expressing who he truly is.
And that made all the difference.
With this refined clarity, emotional depth, and structured thinking, Anoop went for his 5th attempt — PCSL.
This time, the assessors saw the real him.
A man with values, emotions, clarity, and a sense of social impact.
He got recommended.
Anoop believes that “You don’t become an officer at the SSB. You become an officer in your daily life.”
His advice to aspirants:
Not artificially.
Not for the sake of the interview.
But as a part of who you are.
The forces need people who understand the world around them.
Show the small, consistent actions that reflect your character.
According to him, R2R’s biggest strength is its ability to show you:
The personalised feedback, real conversations, and deep insights helped him transform not just his preparation — but his mindset.
And that is what ultimately got him recommended.
