This happened during my ssb interview as well. Though I was recommended but I all the top rankers were army brat and I was merit out as vacancy was only 15 and 56 girls got recommended. In my 2 nd SSB I found one female candidate very arrogant during PPDT discussion...she had written a very weird story and extremely dominating. She was probably the least deserving one to get screened in in tht batch. When she was in the whole batch was shocked and her approach remained same throughout the 4 days process. However everyone knew she ll be thorough seeing what happened during the screening. N guess what she was not only recommended by was in the final list . It's very unfortunate but very common in SSB that they are biased towards fouji brat. Some of them are good and deserving but then jugaad do works there too. Thankfully UPSC so far is the only panel which is not yet plagued by this biasness.

Even I am a fauji brat and so, let me explain why army people prefer army kids to join the army: it's because the army doesn't only look for physically, psychologically and academically fit candidates but even those who imbibe the army culture and values to the heart. And army brats who are born and have been brought up in the army environs and consider the army as their first and only family, are naturally suited to the army. Because physical fitness and academic competence can be built up but the unique culture of the army is difficult to be imbibed, it best exists when its inate.

That's a pure coincidence gentleman. I have no Army background but still a recommended candidate. In my batch out of 8 recommended, only 3 3 were from Army background. And one of my groupmate was from a heavy Army background ( I know heavy is a wrong word here😂 but her father and grandpa both were retired from Army). And she was not recommended, even though we all believed that she would get recommendation. Maybe Army brat maybe favoured minorly due to environ they have been brought up in. But altogether it's about your ability and how you perform. SSB selection is for Armed Forces Officer only not a decision whether you are capable on useless!! A big NO to this as we all have heard of the names Sh. APJ Abdul Kalam and Sh. Amitabh Bachchan not being recommended but still on tongues 😊 Gyaan nahi de rahi,, but this is what I learnt 😅😂

Case1- M bhi army wale ko janta hu Mehta krke banda hai Jo bhi sefarish krke he select hua hai uska bapu toh bahoot aachi general rank ki category ka officer hai ab shyad retire ho gya hoga par unka ladka abhi army m he hai aur may bhi major ban gya hoga...vo full setting se aaya hai mp wale board se......yha tak ki ima m Jo task usse nhi hua tha vo task us saal hta deya tha aur next batch se wapas start kr deya tha...saram ki baat hai saram ki indian government aur Indian army ke leye. Case 2- ek candidate aisa hai jiske engineering m almost more than 7-8 backs thi aur uski backs clear ho jati hai aur first attempt m ssb bhi clear ho jata hai aur aage suno....usko horse ka bahoot shock hota hai toh usko uski favourite horse wali regiment jisko cavalry bolte hai vo mil jati hai phir vo aage bhi games khelta hai matlab itna coincide hai ki kya batau.....saram aani chaiye corruption is on top in ssb's.

For your very kind information, they ‘recommend’ and don’t ‘select’. There is a difference between the two. Had I been the assessor, his ‘haklapan’ wouldn’t have mattered to me. I would have recommended him if I am of the opinion that he has officer like qualities. His medical status (haklapan in this case) would have been irrelevant.
