iam supposed to appear for SSB.
I would recommend you to focus on SSB first, completely.

Screening on Day 1 itself eliminates 2/3rd candidates. (in GD, TAT, PAAT tests etc.) By Day 5 of SSB Conference where Psychologist, GTO, Interview officers's scores are collated, a lot can go wrong. So, FOCUS on SSB. If you are a borderline case, everything rests on your response to IO on the last day.

Once you have cleared the SSB (& while undergoing Medicals in Command Hospital), you would be in a position to decide whether you want to join or otherwise.
