REASONS BEHIND NOT

RECOMMENDATION IN ISSB
Thousands of candidates appear for ISSB Tests in all
the centers each year. Many candidates among them
are fresh and some are appearing for second time. All
of them are tested and pass through some stages of
tests and then get their result. Some of the candidates
are Recommended for the Selection while others are
declare as Not Recommended due to some
shortcomings. The reason for failure is not stated in the
Result Letter so a lot of candidates get confused. Many
of candidates thinks they have done everything fine but
didn't get Recommended even in two chances. Many of
candidates asking himself, why I didn't Recommended
in ISSB? or Why I'm Not Recommended? As we early
stated that reason is not shown so it is very difficult to
come at any possible reason. However we are trying to
present some possible reasons behind the failure or
Not Recommendation. All the candidates who are Not
Recommended in first chance must read this and avoid
all or any thing they had done wrong. The Fresh
candidates should also read this and decide well and
start preparing in the right direction.

The following are some reasons for Not

Recommendation;

NOT ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE:

The military services need enough knowledge. You must have
enough knowledge about the geography of the Pakistan and
other Important countries, about history, Islam, heroes, culture,
science, math and nature. You must have enough knowledge of
the World. You must be familiar with the current major
problems and issues which Pakistan and other countries are
facing. You must have knowledge about current affairs. It's must
that you have a proper vision about different issues and current
problem from the economy to defense and from
international relation to development and you can
talk fluently on it.
What you think about a candidate who don't know about the
capitals, currency or even the presidents of important countries.
What you think about those with no knowledge about current
issues like terrorism, financial problems and International
Relations about different nations and states. And about those
having nil knowledge about the history of Islam even that of
Indo-Pak. Do you think candidates whose 7 answers of 10 are
comprising as 'Sorry Sir' or 'Don't Know Sir' or 'I forgot'. It's
worthy to be noted that the term 'I Forgot' doesn't carry any
meaning.
To avoid this you must have a strong grip over the history,
current affairs, major issues and current situation throughout the
world. We suggest that you have enough knowledge about the
different states and nations, important pacts and agreements.
You also should have knowledge about the boundaries and
military issues between different nations. We suggest you to
keep yourself in tough with Wikipedia and other informative
websites and online forums. We also recommend to read the
newspaper on daily basis.
NO PROPER PREPARATION:
Many of the candidates tested in ISSB are declared Not
Recommended because they have no proper and right
preparation as how to talk and walk properly, how to sit properly
in front of Deputy President and Psychologist, how to stand and
how to sit. Some candidates speaks in extremely loud while
other speaks extremely low. Some candidates feel shy while
talking in the group activities and stay silent and inactive. Many
candidates move their hands and evenly head and body while
talking, some get emotional and many feels lower-class while
doing group tasks, all these will lead you towards the failure.
Also a lot of candidates laugh loudly in any funny situation
while many have 12 o'clock at their forehead every time.
If you can say even two sentences in front of an officer, how you
will spend your time in the training academy. If you feel shied
or ashamed or feel fear, how you will deal with the trainers in
your academy. If you are laughing at friends and group
members, everyone will angry on you and it will be very
difficult to live happily in the academy. Also if you are every
time in tense, probably no one will like to make you friend. All
these are bad characters, try to avoid this.
Avoid this situation and live and act as a normal human. Some
time show seriousness and some time smile. Stay strong and talk
boldly. It is better to meet any military officer prior your ISSB,
get talks with him, ask questions and express your feelings on
different issues, this will make yourself free from the fear of
elders and officers. Get rid of any tension. 
SHOW-OF-POWER MINDSET:
This is one of the worst drawback of a man character. If a
candidates thinks that I will become an officer and will show to
my village or mohalla what I'm really, or to show your authority
or power to your opponents and those whom you dislike.
It should be clear that forces is not for giving you personal
benefits and will never allow you to use your uniform authority
for your personal matters. You will never let you to misuse your
power.
If you are willing to join forces for the Show-of-Power, it is
right time now to leave the dream of becoming officer. The
psychs knows everything of your character and mindset.
MONEY MAKING CONCEPT:
Have you read or listen the stories of high life standard of
military officers? May be you are joining forces to live a high
standard of live, get high salaries and packages and allowances,
live in fancies houses, mess life and many more. Do you believe
in richness of forces officers? Have you seen the officers
children studying in high standards schools and institutions? If
yes and due to this reason your willing to join forces. If you
think all the things above are sure then you probably have seen
the one side of the image.
In military life, you have to face tough situation also. You also
have to spend time in the battlefield, you may have to face
heavy firing, emergency situations, operations and to defend the
attacks also. During different field activities, you may face
hunger, thirst and fears. You may have to live alone far from
family.
If you are not ready for tough side of the military life and only
wish to live happy side, then you are not fit for military. Try
your luck in other fields of life.
APPRECIATION MINDSET:
Some candidates also keep the military career at wish-list as
they see the honor and respect the military servicemen have
achieved. Due to this reason they also want to get such honor
and respect and then they apply for the Commission Course.
It is right the servicemen gets respect and honor at each
department as well as in the society. But this honor is not
received just sitting under the roof. There is a lot of sweat
probably blood also. After more tough days-and-nights of the
life they get such honor.
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEM:
Some candidates have psychological shortcoming in his
character. If you are rude or get angry soon and on little things,
you have to avoid these shortcomings. Also if girls are your
weakness then you are not eligible. Same is the thing with
hotness and other related drawbacks etc. 
FEAR OF ANYTHING:
Do you fear from height, water or depth etc? If yes then you
have to get rid from these things. During the ISSB Tests, you are
to be tested in every aspect. Individual Obstacles shows your
fears if you have of anything. Some candidates leave the
Monkey Bridge, its reflect your fear of Height. If you avoid
Ditch Crossing, it reflects your fear of depth. Similarly the
hanging bridge, and other obstacles.
PHYSICAL FITNESS:
Military life needs physical fitness along with the mental fitness.
You must be physically so strong to face any difficulty. During
the Group Task, you may have take drums and other heavy
materials with you alone. You may have to stand with one foot
and keep yourself balance. You may have to walk with one foot
during the Final Group Task. Similarly, candidates may have
cross some sections of task with the help of swing and some
with the help of a narrow plank. Candidates may have to face
jumping and like other obstacles.
What do you think of a candidate who can't properly cross even
the Zig-Zag in Obstacles. Many candidates haven't experience of
crossing Tarzan Swing and like other obstacles and they fears of
it. Many candidates can't stay balance with one foot even for
few seconds. Some of them walk through plank much slowly
and some of them fell down also. It is clear that you can't
achieve success without physical fitness.
ABSENCE OF HARMONY:
Military is the combination of peoples from different walks of
fields. It is comprised of the believers from different faiths and
religions. All the servicemen lives happily in a unit or squadron
despite they have different maternal languages and different
family classes.
The officials also expect harmony and respect towards different
castes and religions. If you have hate in your heart for any kind
of people even for your enemy then you haven't any place in
