CERTIFICATES:
The NCC Directorate conducts three certificate examinations for the cadets. These certificates are issued by the Ministry of Defence (MoD). The cadets who hold these certificates are also entitled for job reservations, additional marks and promotions. However rules vary from state to state.
A-Certificate: This certificate is for the Junior Division and Wing. Cadets have to pass theory and the practical tests to earn the A-Certificate. The theory consists of first-aid, military history & questions about drill movements. The practical part covers checking of the drill and turn out. Cadets who pass the exams receive bonus marks which is added to their 10th standard examination (in certain states).
B-Certificate: This certificate is for the Senior Division and Wing. Tests are conducted in NCC battalions every academic year. The theory part consists of special to Corps (Infantry) subjects, civil defence & first-aid. The practical test includes rifle drill, map reading, cleaning & maintaining of rifles and machine guns. Senior Wing cadets have questions regarding first-aid and signalling as part of their practical exams. Cadets who pass the B-Certificate exams are entitled for free marks in a number of Government Job exams and weight-age marks are added to their university exams marks. A cadet should have this certificate for holding the rank of a Sergeant or above.
C-Certificate: Similar to the B-Certificate as far as the syllabus is concerned, but the questions are more tougher. The cadets who pass the exams have the same privileges as that of a the B-Certificate except that the weight-age marks will increase. Cadets who pass C-Certificate exams with a B grade or above are exempted from the written test required for the Officers selection tests for OTA Chennai. A cadet with C-Certificate and 50% marks can straight away apply to attend the interview conducted by the Service Selection Commission.
Cadets are given regular training in service subjects all the year round. This is ended up with intensive training in camps under the supervision of the Regular Army staff. Number of NCC candidates are taken in OTA Chennai on the direct entry system after having completed 3 years training and obtaining the C-Certificate granted after passing certain tests. Cadets having B- and C-Certificates also have reservation in a number of Government jobs especially in the State and Central Police and in Para-Military forces like the Border Security Force, Territorial Army, Indo-Tibetan Border Police and Central Industrial Security Force. A number of NCC cadets have used this privilege and have even joined the Regular Army as Commissioned Officers. The police force also has its own set of ex-NCC cadets in the ranks of Sub-Inspectors, Inspectors and Deputy Superintendents.
32 vacancies per course have been reserved for the NCC 'C' Certificate holders for Permanent Commission through the Indian Military Academy, and 50 vacancies per course have been reserved for NCC 'C' Certificate holders for Short Service Commission (Non Technical) through OTA Chennai with exemption from UPSC written examination. For the Navy, six vacancies per course with exemption of UPSC Examination and for Indian Air Force 10% vacancies in all course including Flying Training Course. Here too, the cadets need not attempt the UPSC Exam and only will have to attend the SSB Interview. The scheme has been proved a great success. A change in the outlook towards life and its problems is already noticeable in the NCC youth. A healthy development of character will go a long way in improving the quality of future soldiers.
