This article of mine is intended to provide you the prep materials for Indian Coast Guard Assistant Commandants Exam - by pointing you to whatever prep materials are available on the net for the same. It follows from an earlier blog post titled: Coast Guard Asst. Commandant Recruitment 2013 Notification & Forms which introduces you to the topic and how to apply for the same.Let me begin that by saying you that resources available on the net for the Assistant Commandants exam is very scarce – specially with respect to the MAT (Mental Ability test) in the Preliminary Selection. In absence of authentic information on any exam, I always advise the aspirants to help of similar exams – for example in this case, you can refer to the Assistant Commandants exam for Central Police Forces conducted by UPSC.First let us start with an analysis of the selection process for Assistant Commandants in Indian Coast Guard. Exam Pattern/Format for Assistant Commandants in Indian Coast Guard:Selection Process for Assistant Commandant in Indian Coast Guard consists of a two stage selection - Preliminary Selection & Final Selection, followed by Medical exam. You can find the components of these two stages in the table given below:\ABS\Auto Blog Samurai\data\all info\ce\Coast+Guard+Assistant+Commandant+Exam+Pattern.png)
You can find short description of the tests below:MAT (Mental Ability test): MAT in Assistant Commandants exam consists of General Awareness & Test of Reasoning (Verbal & Non Verbal Reasoning).PP&DT (Picture Perception & Discussion Test): In this test, a picture is shown to the candidates for a very brief period of time – say for only 30 seconds. You than have to write a story in about 4 minutes, based on what is your perception about the picture. Next, there will be a Group Discussion, in which each member of the group describes his story about the picture and try to arrive at a common story for the group.Above two tests are in the Preliminary selection stage. You have to qualify in MAT and only than you can appear for PP&DT. And only if you can clear both of them, you would be called for Final selection stage, which consists of following tests:Psychologist test: This consists of TAT, WAT, SRT & SD as described below.Thematic Apperception Test (TAT): Also called as Picture Story writing. Similar to PP & DT, but here there is no discussion. Also, you will be shown about 12 slides, each only for about 30 seconds. You have to write a story on the picture being shown.Word Association Test (WAT): Similar to TAT, about 60 words are shown in quick succession, each word lasting for only 15 seconds. You have to write the first thought which comes to your mind on seeing the word – it may be a sentence or a phrase.Situation Reaction Test (SRT): Here some situational cases are given and you have to write what is your reaction in those situations – say you had gone on tour and have lost your purse – what would you do?Self Description Test (SD): You have to describe yourself in a passage.
Since the selection process is so similar to the SSB Interview (conducted for selection of Indian armed forces), you can go through this exclusive blog post on SSB Interview & how to prepare.
