Hello,

Yes, joining NCC (National Cadet Corps) is a very good option for you, especially as a civil engineering diploma student. It helps build discipline, leadership, physical fitness, and teamwork skills, and also adds extra weightage if you plan to appear for defense, government, or PSU jobs later.

Since your college doesn’t have an NCC unit, don’t worry, you can still join as an open candidate . Here’s what you can do:

  1. Visit the nearest college or institution that has an NCC unit (Army, Navy, or Air Wing).

  2. Meet the NCC Officer (ANO) or visit the nearest NCC Battalion headquarters in your district.

  3. Ask to register as an open cadet under that unit.

  4. Submit your 10th marksheet, ID proof, and medical certificate if required.

So yes, joining NCC is definitely worth it. You just need to apply through a nearby college or NCC battalion office since your own college doesn’t have it.

Hope you understand.

Hello,

Yes, joining the NCC program alongside your civil engineering diploma is definitely a good option. It helps build discipline, leadership skills, physical fitness, and can even add value to your profile for government jobs, defense exams, or higher studies.

Since your college doesn’t have an NCC unit, you can still apply as an “open cadet.” For that, visit the nearest college or institution that has an NCC unit (Army, Navy, or Air Wing) and request to join through them. You’ll need to fill out a form, go through a short verification process, and get approval from the NCC officer in charge. It’s totally worth the effort NCC training gives both confidence and real-world exposure.

Thank you
