Why do candidates Fail in PPDT, Narration & GD?

ssb interview

Candidates may face challenges and potentially fail in the Picture Perception and Description Test (PPDT), narration, and group discussion (GD) for several reasons:

1. Lack of Preparation: Many candidates underestimate the importance of thorough preparation for these stages of the selection process. They may not have practiced describing pictures, storytelling, or participating in group discussions beforehand.

2. Ineffective Communication Skills: Effective communication is crucial during these stages. Candidates may struggle with articulating their thoughts clearly, maintaining coherence, or expressing themselves confidently.

3. Poor Time Management: Time constraints during the PPDT and narration phase can be stressful. Candidates who struggle with managing time effectively may not be able to complete tasks within the allotted time, leading to incomplete or rushed responses.

4. Inability to Analyze Pictures: PPDT requires candidates to analyze a given picture and construct a story based on it. Those who lack the ability to interpret visual cues or create a coherent storyline may find this task challenging.

5. Lack of Confidence: Confidence plays a significant role in performing well in narration and GD. Candidates who lack self-confidence may hesitate to speak up, express their opinions, or actively participate in group discussions, thereby hindering their performance.

6. Limited Knowledge or Awareness: Candidates may fail in GD if they lack sufficient knowledge about the topic being discussed or are unaware of current affairs and relevant issues. Lack of preparation in these areas can lead to difficulty in contributing meaningfully to the discussion.

7. Inability to Work in a Team: GD assesses candidates' ability to work collaboratively with others. Those who struggle with teamwork, conflict resolution, or consensus-building may find it challenging to perform well in this aspect of the selection process.

8. Nervousness or Anxiety: Anxiety or nervousness can significantly impact candidates' performance during these stages. It may lead to blanking out, stuttering, or other manifestations of stress that interfere with effective communication and participation.

To improve their chances of success in PPDT, narration, and GD, candidates should focus on enhancing their communication skills, practicing regularly, staying updated on current affairs, developing confidence, and learning effective time management strategies. Additionally, seeking feedback and guidance from mentors or coaches can also be beneficial in addressing areas of weakness and improving performance.
