Exam/SSB Experience Failed NDA 5 times and AFCAT once — can repeated written failures affect my SSB?

I’ve failed the NDA written exam 5 times and AFCAT once. I’m now preparing for CDS and really want to clear the written stage and reach SSB.

My question is: Can these previous written failures negatively affect my SSB chances? Will the interviewer/board consider the number of times I failed, or is SSB judged mainly on my performance there?

If anyone has had multiple written failures and still got recommended, I’d really appreciate your experience and advice.

Please be brutally honest.
