‘Services Selection Board’ interview preparation happens over 2 years during the cadets’ stay at AFPI.
SSB interview preparation is all about developing personal traits and qualities which can be achieved only by long-term involvement and participation by the student. AFPI's daily routine takes care of that.
FACULTY
In line with the AFPI's objective of preparing NDA-ready students, extensive Military training is an integral part of the curriculum. Right from fostering Military standard discipline, turnout, respect and obedience to rules and seniors, the cadets are taught a wide variety of Military subjects like War Craft, Field Craft, Map reading, Ground tasks, Group tasks, Leadership skills, Survival skills, Military drill, Military history etc. The Military faculty consists of Ex-Servicemen and Officers who have served the forces with distinction and are very highly regarded in terms of nurturing potential cadets and turning them into lifelong soldiers.
