“Great things never come from comfort zones.”

To be on the top, one must use each day as an opportunity to improve, get better, and get one step closer to achieving your goals. It might sound like a great task but nothing is impossible which encompasses clearly the road to success for Anshika Verma, securing a spot for the NDA-153 Course. She got recommendations from 1 AFSB, Dehradun. Let’s have a look below at her wonderful and remarkable feat following her success at selection-

Success Feat-

Well what can one want more in life than achieving what you desire the most, being fulfilled in front of your eyes, and being the child of a proud parent, well the amount of happiness ushered at that moment was undyingly short of expressing and that happiness was hard to process with all the surge of emotions being felt at that moment when Anshika got the confirmation that she was among some of the worthy candidates at their successful selection after her first attempt wherein she could not succeed.

Hailing from the small town of Sadabad, Hathras, UP she always had the dream to achieve and do something big in life for herself and her family. It was the dream of her Father who is working in the Indian Armed Forces to see her work for the nation, to see her being a Defence Officer and this motivated her, ignited her passions, to feel the surge, and finally she became an Air Force Cadet.

Her journey throughout has been a culmination of both ups and downs as no success is complete without failures and failures are the stepping stones to success. She took her written exams while appearing for Class 11 but could not steer through and was rejected due to low confidence, extra pressure, and lack of time management but this did not demotivate her rather it made her want to accomplish more, and reach higher and ignited her hunger for success and this gave her the power to achieve her dream long goal in her second attempt.

Anshika joined Centurion’s Foundation Batch which combines both Written exam and SSB Training. She credits this comprehensive approach for helping her stay well prepared for both stages wherein she led a hostel life, learned to be independent, do things on her own, take charge of her responsibilities, having a fixed timetable, getting a studious and disciplined atmosphere with the best industry teachers to guide and motivate in her entire journey. This fully residential NDA 12 Program combines school education, NDA Coaching, and accommodation with expert faculty providing rigorous daily training in Mathematics, General Knowledge, and Physical Training.

This success is definitely not complete without the mention of the persistent and dedicated efforts of Centurion Defence Academy’s entire panel of teachers, and industry experts as the rigorous training and personal guidance along with regular and sustained sessions, recorded training and modules, counseling, spoken classes, study material, English and Hindi notes, etc given by the esteemed and renowned panel of experts monitored her growth and abilities and the regular mock tests and sessions she took part with all her frequent attempts gave her an insight and understanding at what and how can she extract the most and benefit with ease. As per Anshika, “It is important to go for selective study rather than quantitative study which again motivated the zeal in her to be prepared and ready at all times which she thinks was the defining strategy that made her one step ahead and ready for her preparations.

She actively took part in various extracurriculars and made it a point to make herself an extrovert so that she could maintain a proper balance between her studies, her interests, and hobbies and always volunteered for public speaking so as to gain confidence which she lacked during her first attempt as she was too nervous and anxious when she was disqualified so as to enhance her speech and build confidence within her. In the words of Anshika, “It is very important to be confident all along which comes from self-motivation by keeping your priorities clear and to never comparing yourself with others or let others judge you. It is very important to have a clear retrospective with positive thoughts leading to a positive mindset.

The balanced coaching and guidance that was fostered at Centurion has proved fruitful in achieving and ensuring her mission as all her expectations, and objectives were met in the most diligent and viable manner which made her reach and fulfill her objective. The Academy’s Guidance and Engagement Strategy at the individual level based on every student’s I.Q is commendable as each and every student is different, having their own strengths and weaknesses and the way she was motivated and guided at each and every step with such diligence and patience by the entire team of teachers and panelists at every step really paved her way for success as after the defeat in her first attempt she was really distraught and had no clue as to where she was lacking or went wrong and her motivation level just dropped off but she was at every step guided and motivated here and individually counseled with keeping in mind her strengths and weaknesses be it how to clear up with my written, how to prepare for my interviews, how to prepare for the group tasks, etc, which definitely gave her positive results and thus made her conquer the failures and negativities.

Last but not least as described by Anshika, “A special mention to Ranneeti book in which the psychology portion is so aptly described which gave a very good exposure at story making, narration, OIR portion, WAT, SRT’s and the efficient time management as discussed in the book and its importance and especially Shishir Sir who took motivation classes, took doubt-clearing sessions, psychology lectures, and classes and also felicitated us at various occasions which motivated me a lot and was available round the clock for any kind of doubt clearing or guidance of any kind.”

As in the words of Anshika, “When I appeared for my written and qualified the same, it gave me the confidence and I was motivated with full zeal to appear for my Interview and this time I was all the more confident and calm with a composed attitude as this time I was already prepared and knew my weak points which made me control my nervous bouts and panic attacks and I went in, answered each of the questions with ease and clarity and came out hoping I had answered everything the way it should have been and that I would not have repeated the same mistake I had done before. Amid all the emotional stress and panic that I, as well as my parents, were under the grip at that particular moment was really very tense but as soon as I got a confirmation call and saw my call letter in my hands, my happiness knew no bounds as I had finally managed to achieve my dream and was really elated at my success and I saw the happiness of my parents and their happiness was unmeasured and I felt as the luckiest and the most blessed child of my proud parents”.

I heartily thank Team Centurion of their services and persistent efforts making my success all the more worthy because of the discipline, resilience, and hard work that made me overcome my hurdles and focused me to achieve my goal of cracking NDA, and SSB.
