Best 7 books to prepare for SSB interview



This is a general question that every candidate or a fresher candidate has in their mind because they don’t have any clue on what the SSB procedures and how to deal with them.
Even repeaters search for the answers for these questions because they somehow fail to impress the assessors in the SSB interview.
But the point to remember is that you should not mug up the content on those books, the books are just to push up your skills to make yourself introspect yourself.
SSB is all about self putting yourself in the real form to the assessors. 
In the SSB the assessors don’t look for fake qualities. They only look for the officers like qualities that you actually have. 
Even if you don’t have 14 or 15 or all of the officer like qualities, still there might be chances of you getting “Merit in” but for that, you need to be real you can’t fake your qualities.
All I want to say is that the assessors know “how the candidate behaves after mugging up the book?”.
They are not looking for bookish knowledge or theoretical knowledge, they are looking for real-life knowledge and practical knowledge. So it’s better you prepare yourself and don’t mug everything by heart without understanding its value, try to understand things from books.
Now by this thing, I don’t mean that you should not mug up anything. There are some things which you need to mug up and those things are related to GK you cannot remember the current affairs or GK by understanding those.
you need to somehow make yourself remember those. 
Mugging up can be a way but it’s up to you, it’s always an individual’s choice.
