Benefits of joining NCC
·
NCC is a highly
reputed body which is also a second line of defence. In India, many youngsters
are trained in line with defence in case the need arises. If young students
want to make it their career option, then being an NCC cadet holds a lot of
weight. As they are directly associated with the ministry of defence.
·
Other than just
military training the cadets also learn several other valuable things such as
selflessness, honesty, discipline, hard work and ways to build confidence and
gain leadership qualities.
·
Since NCC camps are
held all over India, therefore, there is training in various parts of the
country, hence students get an opportunity to visit new places and learn the
art of independence. They are required to use their social skills and their
senses to get to know new places and adapt to the varying environment. Other
than just social skills they also get to learn about the history and art of the
new place.
·
NCC cadets learn to
take pride in them and the training also strengthens the spirit of being an
Indian. This helps them gear towards joining the forces and providing their
100% when the country is in need of them.
·
Other than military
activities, the cadets are taught other skills such as parachuting, paragliding
and basic aviation courses because of which they have an edge over others when
appearing for the armed forces. Other than that, they also have a special quota
which is very useful in case of final selection to join the armed forces.
·
Under the regime of an exchange programme, there are a few selected students who get an opportunity to
visit other countries and learn various things which are practised in other
nations and exchange experiences with cadets who happen to come to India from
foreign lands.
·
There are a total of 32
seats which are set aside for cadets who hold NCC certificate provided they
have scored 50% in graduation with at least a B grade in C level examination.
If all this suffices, then they are eligible for SSC without even qualifying
for a CDS written exam. All they have to do is clear the SSB interview.
·
Other than SSB they
also get a preference over others in the CRF and BSF.
·
Other than just armed
forces there are several central and state governmental organisations that give
special preference to NCC cadets.
