SAMPLE LECTURE TOPICS FOR SSBs
Lectures are conducted on the third day of the services
selection board. The SSB lectures are for duration of 5 minutes.
The candidate is to pick up a chit from a box of many chits, on
which is written a topic. The candidate gets around three to five
minutes to prepare after which he is to deliver a lecture to an
audience of your own batch mates. The most important thing is to
deliver the speech in an uninterrupted and confident manner. To
achieve this, my sincere advice is to stop seeing the people
sitting ahead of you as people of great knowledge or wisdom. Just
imagine that they are some bunch of illiterate peasants who have no
clue about what you are talking. So talk confidently and tell
anything and everything you know about. By using your hands and
head to have a fine body language will enable you to show that you
are a very confident person
Believe that those people sitting ahead of you are unaware of
the information that you are going to give so make a bold statement
by speaking loudly and confidently. Wrong facts will not fetch
negative marks so go ahead and bombard with .
The best way to prepare for the lectures is by updating yourself
on all the current events. My sincere advice is to go through the
entire Outlook, India today, The Week, etc., magazines of the last
two to three months.
