Every candidate at the SSB is given a chest number. For five days, it replaces their name. This book is about what's left when it does.Written by Group Captain HR Raghunath (Retd), a 33-year Indian Air Force veteran who has informally guided SSB candidates for years, Chest No. 80 is built on a simple, uncomfortable truth most coaching material avoids: the Board isn't testing what you can perform, it's testing what you already are, and it's built specifically to catch the difference.Inside, you'll find: A dedicated Foundations section, with chapters on building your psyche and cognitive intelligence, before a single test even begins. A clear walkthrough of the five-day process and the psychology behind why it's structured the way it is. Officer Like Qualities explained not as a checklist to memorise, but as traits that show up, or don't, under pressure. Worked PPDT and TAT examples with full psychological breakdowns of why each response reads the way it does. A dedicated chapter on the real patterns behind why candidates get conferenced out, and how to close that gap. A 30-day character-building audit, not a script to rehearse. What happens after recommendation: the medical board, police verification, and what to expect once you're wearing the uniform that becomes your second skin.
