Course Outcome :

� NCC Cadets learn valuable things such as selflessness, honesty, discipline, hard work and ways to build confidence and gain leadership qualities.

� NCC cadets learn to take pride in themselves 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.

� 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 other in the CRF and BSF

� Other than just armed forces there are several central and state Government organisations who give special preference to NCC cadets.
