Benefits For NCC Certificate Holders in CDS Recruitment

NCC ‘C’ Certificate is considered as the most beneficial certificate in the defence sector jobs but the other two certificates also have their own benefits in defence recruitment.

The benefits of NCC are not limited up to jobs in the defence sector. But in defence, the importance of NCC training is increased because, in NCC, cadets learn many basic things that can help them during the training of defence sector jobs.

NCC cadets get the certificate after the completion of each stage of their training. These certificates are as follows;

• NCC ‘A’ Certificate
• NCC ‘B’ Certificate
• NCC ‘C’ Certificate

Out of all the three certificates, NCC ‘C’ certificate is the most significant one.  But like I said earlier each certificate has its own value.

The ‘C’ certificate is given to the cadets after the completion of NCC training in graduation level. At this level, the NCC training becomes a bit advanced and focused towards the defence sector jobs. In short, we can say that NCC is the basic training for the cadets who want to join Defence services for their career.

An NCC cadet is always more trained than other candidates during the training in defence services.  Therefore NCC certificate holders get advantages in the defence sector, especially in CDS recruitment. 

Benefits of NCC Certificates in CDS Recruitment

Here are the details of the benefits that you can avail if you are an NCC certificate holder and preparing for CDS Exam.

• If you have the ‘C’ certificate of NCC then the journey of CDS becomes less tough for you. In CDS the recruitment is done through the following three steps; written exam, SSB Interview and medical examination. An NCC ‘C’ certified candidate can reach directly to the SSB interview round and then medical examination. Candidates have to apply like all other candidates by filling the form. There are also NCC Special Entry jobs that you can apply for. All the notifications are released on the website of Join Indian Army. You should also know that the NDA SSB interview and CDS SSB have many things in common.
• Candidate having NCC ‘C’ certificate should also have a graduation degree from a government recognised university with minimum 50% marks. Then only you can avail the benefits of NCC ‘C’ certificates.
• NCC Cadet should get A or B grade in NCC ‘C’ certificate to reach directly to the SSB interview round. Remember the procedure to apply is same for all. In case if there is no direct entry, you still get the benefits at the time of interview.
• Apart from the exemption from the written exam in CDS, there is another benefit that the NCC certificates can offer to the NCC cadets. The defence sector has reserved seats for NCC Cadets in IMA. But clearing SSB interview is a must to get a seat in IMA.
• If you have the NCC certificate and still want to appear in CDS written exam then you might get some benefits in marks because of the NCC certificates. Rest of the process of CDS recruitment will remain the same.
• In Short Service Commission (NT) there is NCC Special Entry Scheme for both Men & Women (including Wards of Battle Casualties of Army Personnel).

Apart from all the aforementioned benefits of NCC certificates in CDS recruitment, this training helps the young students to have a disciplined life.
