Hello,

There are several advantages of joining NCC as a cadet. And some of them are listed below for you. Further I cannot find any disadvantage for anyone pursuing this.

• IMA reserves 32 vacancies for certificate C cadet. But to join IMA it's a must for all the candidates to be declared successful by the Services Selection Board.
• With C certificate you can get exemption by CDS exam conducted by UPSC. But for this, the cadet must have 'A' or ‘B’ grade in 'C' certificate.
• NCC 'C' certification offers you 10–15 bonus marks in paramilitary forces recruitment i.e. BSF, CISF, CRPF, SSB etc.
• If you have NCC 'C' certificates then your written exam will be waived off for the post of Soldier GD.

Many organizations from the public sector give advantages to the cadets with 'C' certification like Indian Airlines, Pawan Hans Ltd, The National Small Industries Corp. Ltd. and many more.

Hope this helps!!
