1. Some common negative points that you can write about- Weak communication skills, Lack of knowledge about current affairs, stage fright, Less participation in extra curricular activities, Weak in English language, etc.
2. Your positive and strong points must reflect- Leadership, confidence, social adjustability, punctuality, willingness to help, positive attitude, good at academics or sports, etc.
3. Be honest and real while giving your self-description. You don’t have to be an extraordinary or excellent being. Even if you are an ordinary candidate with an average level of skills, don’t lie about it. Be honest about what you write. Bluffing and lying can cost your valuable chance of recommendation. Be real and simple, making an officer out of you is the military’s duty.
4. Do not waste time in describing your place of birth, home, school, etc. at length. The focus should be on emphasising such factors that demonstrate your personality traits.
5. Prepare in advance and get sufficient practice by writing it again and again. You should be ready for it and watch that time limit does not exceed. Try finishing it within 10-12 minutes.
6. Maintain a good and legible handwriting. Work on your speed of writing too.
7. Remember this one, “DO NOT OVER-ESTIMATE OR UNDERESTIMATE YOUR PERSONALITY”.
