India’s defence aspirant community got some genuinely exciting news this week. Doon Defence Dreamers, popularly known as Dreamers Edu Hub, has announced a Free SSB Batch for every candidate who has cleared the written exam of NDA, CDS, AFCAT, or any similar defence entry. This isn’t a small update — it was personally announced by the Founder & CEO, Mr. Hariom Chaudhary Sir, in a special YouTube live session, and it has already created a buzz among thousands of aspirants looking for reliable NDA CDS coaching across the country.
If you have cleared your written exam for any defence entry and are now preparing for your SSB interview, this announcement is meant for you. Let’s break down everything you need to know about this initiative, the cash prizes, the new batch schedule, and why Dreamers Edu Hub continues to be one of the most trusted names in NDA CDS coaching in India.
What Is the Free SSB Batch?
The Free SSB Batch is a completely free training program open to all written-qualified candidates, regardless of which coaching institute they studied with earlier. Whether you cleared your NDA written exam, CDS written exam, AFCAT, or any other similar entry, you are eligible to join this batch without paying any fee. The idea behind this initiative, as explained by the founder himself, is simple — no serious aspirant should be held back from proper SSB guidance just because of financial constraints.
This Free SSB Batch will cover every important aspect of the Services Selection Board process, including:
- Psychological tests (TAT, WAT, SRT, and Self-Description)
- Group Testing Officer (GTO) tasks
- Personal interview preparation
- Group Discussion and Lecturette practice
- Overall personality development and confidence building
The training will be led by experienced instructors, many of whom are retired defence officers who understand exactly what SSB assessors look for in a candidate. This hands-on approach is the same methodology that has made the institute’s NDA CDS coaching so effective over the years.
Meet Your SSB Mentors
This Free SSB Batch will be guided by a panel of retired defence officers who have themselves served in the Indian Armed Forces and know exactly what an SSB board looks for in a candidate:
- Retd. Group Captain Ambuj Ahluwalia
- Retd. Wing Commander Deepak Tyagi
- Retd. Group Captain B. Mehta
- Retd. Lt. Colonel Rohit Mehra
- Retd. Colonel P.P. Barkoti
With this kind of experienced panel guiding every session, candidates get first-hand insights into how a real SSB board thinks, rather than just theoretical preparation.
Cash Prizes for Recommended Candidates
One of the most talked-about parts of this announcement is the cash reward for successful candidates. According to the official announcement, Dreamers Edu Hub will award:
| Category | Cash Prize |
|---|---|
| Recommended Candidates | ₹31,000 |
| Rank 1 Candidate (All India Rank Topper) | ₹2,51,000 |
This means that if you clear your SSB and get recommended through this Free SSB Batch, you stand to earn a cash reward on top of achieving your dream of becoming a defence officer. And if you happen to top the batch with an All India Rank, the reward jumps significantly. This kind of recognition and appreciation for hard-working candidates is rare in the coaching industry, and it shows the institute’s genuine commitment to celebrating student success rather than just enrolling students.

Free SSB Batch Schedule 2026
For candidates planning to join, here are the upcoming batch start dates. Multiple batches have been scheduled over the coming weeks so that no aspirant misses out due to timing conflicts:
| Batch Number | Start Date |
|---|---|
| Batch 1 | 21 September 2026 |
| Batch 2 | 28 September 2026 |
| Batch 3 | 5 October 2026 |
| Batch 4 | 12 October 2026 |
| Batch 5 | 19 October 2026 |
Each of these batches will run the complete SSB training module, so aspirants can choose whichever date works best according to their preparation timeline and travel plans.
NDA & CDS Offline Batch Starting From 21 September 2026 — Book Your Slot Now
Along with the Free SSB Batch, Dreamers Edu Hub is also opening fresh offline batches for its NDA CDS coaching program, specifically targeting the NDA 1 2027 written exam, which is scheduled to be held on 11 April 2027. This NDA CDS coaching batch is designed for aspirants who are still preparing for the written stage and want structured, classroom-based coaching with regular mentorship well before the exam date.
| Offline Batch | Start Date |
|---|---|
| Batch 1 | 21 September 2026 |
| Batch 2 | 28 September 2026 |
| Batch 3 | 5 October 2026 |
(Note: If your target start date was 05 September 2026, please confirm the exact date directly with the institute, since the officially listed dates for these offline batches follow the same weekly pattern as the SSB batches above.)
If you’re serious about cracking the NDA 1 2027 exam or CDS, this is a great time to lock in your seat for the NDA CDS coaching batch of your choice. Seats in each batch are limited to keep the batch size manageable, so it’s a good idea to book your slot now rather than waiting until the last moment.
Why Dreamers Edu Hub Deserves the Appreciation
It’s worth pausing here to genuinely appreciate what Dreamers Edu Hub has built over the years. Since its founding in 2014, the institute has grown from a small classroom setup into one of the most recognised names in NDA CDS coaching in India. Their results speak for themselves:
- 93 final selections in NDA 2025 across NDA 155 and NDA 156 courses
- 35 recommendations in NDA 1 2025 (NDA 155 Course)
- 58 recommendations in NDA 2 2025 (NDA 156 Course)
- Over 710 students clearing the NDA written examination in a single cycle
These aren’t just numbers on a website — they represent hundreds of families whose children are now serving, or preparing to serve, in the Indian Armed Forces. Selected candidates from NDA 1 2025 were even felicitated by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, which speaks volumes about the institute’s credibility and impact. Announcing a Free SSB Batch right after such a strong result year shows that Dreamers Edu Hub isn’t resting on its achievements — it is actively working to help even more aspirants reach the same milestone.
Who Should Join This Free SSB Batch?
This batch is ideal for you if:
- You have cleared the written exam for NDA, CDS, AFCAT, or any similar defence entry
- You have never attended structured SSB training before
- You attempted SSB earlier but couldn’t clear it and want another focused attempt
- You want expert mentorship without the financial burden of expensive coaching fees
Since this is a free initiative, it’s a low-risk, high-value opportunity for any written-qualified candidate. There’s really no reason to skip proper SSB preparation when it’s being offered at no cost, especially from an institute already known for quality NDA CDS coaching.
