- Candidates with low general awareness, poor communication skills, stage fright, poor interpersonal relationship building skills and low self esteem.
- Candidates who did not get the opportunity to learn the correct social graces and people’s skills. (Includes, dress sense, posture, tact to deal with others, basic civic sense and positive mannerism).
- Low practical work sense for candidates who got fewer opportunities in participation in outdoor activities and hands on practical tasks in routine life.
- Candidates who have not participated in interactive activities frequently and lack the skill to be visible in a positive manner in group activity.
- Some very bright candidates (I know of some of them on this Group also) with a minor undesirable kink in their social attributes are unable to clear SSB even after repeated attempts need help to calibrate that portion of their exhibited behaviour.
- Candidates with poor physical and mental stamina would need guidance to improve their physical standards.
