How To Join Indian Armed Forces Using NCC ‘C’ Certificate?

ncc-c-certificate

The National Cadet Corps is one of the largest military reserve forces of India. NCC is open to all school/college going students to be enrolled in any of the nearest NCC unit. The NCC gives a vast array of opportunities to students which would either be impossible to get outside or will cost you a huge fortune. In addition to this, NCC ‘C’ certificate holder can directly go to the SSB interview, skipping the Common Entrance Exam (CEE).

Here’s how you can join the Armed Forces using NCC ‘C’ certificate:

  1. All the three services of the military have some vacancies reserved for the NCC cadets:
    1. Indian Military Academy, Dehradun –   64
    2. Officers Training Academy, Chennai –   100
    3. Indian Navy in Indian Naval Academy       –   6 per course
    4. Indian Air Force in Air Force Academy –   10% in all courses, including flying training courses
  2. You need to have a minimum 3 years of service in any of the three wings of NCC to be eligible to write ‘C’ certificate exam.
  3. In your ‘C’ certificate exam, get a ‘B’ grade (though ‘B’ and ‘C’ grade don’t have any value, so try to get ‘A’ grade).
  4. To join the army, apply for NCC Special Entry Scheme through your directorate – ask your unit CO to forward your application to the directorate which will then forward it to the recruiting directorate. If you get shortlisted, follow the procedure of SSB interview. All the vacancies through this are to be filled by NCC cadets.How To Join Indian Armed Forces Using NCC ‘C’ Certificate?
  5. To join the Navy and Air Force, there isn’t any special entry but the entries which are published from time to time have some vacancies reserved for NCC ‘C’ certificate holders. You just need to mention in your application that you have an NCC ‘C’ certificate.
  6. Although the cadets of Air Wing and Naval Wing have some vacancies in Air Force and Navy respectively, they can apply for NCC Special Entry Scheme to join the army.
  7. But the cadets who are from Army Wing are not eligible for the vacancies in the Air Force or the Navy.
  8. So, it is best to either opt for Air Wing or Naval Wing over Army Wing depending on your first preference. In my case, I wish to join the Air Force, so I have opted for Air Wing over Naval and Army. Though Naval Wing’s NCC vacancies are out of bound for me, I am still eligible to join the Army through Special Entry Scheme.
  9. Although for Air Force, you need to apply within 12 months of leaving NCC (along with AFCAT or CDSE), you can apply for others as long as you have the age limit.
  10. You will be awarded extra marks in your SSB as follows:
Certificate Army Navy Air Force
A 5% addl marks on overall marks scored in SSB  +22 marks in SSB +3 marks in SSB
B 8% Same as above +44 marks in SSB +4 marks in SSB
C 10% same + no written exam +66 marks in SSB +5 marks in SSB

*At least 50-60% marks in graduation needed for C certificate to be applicable. C Cert alone would not have any value.

  • Age limits would be as per the notification  and date of commencement of the training for a particular course.
  • One can apply for PC from SSC through internal procedures.

For any queries, message me on FB through my link above. I’ll be happy to help. Alternatively, you can post your query on the SSBCrack Support group on fb where other like-minded people will help you out.

14 Things Only Military Brats Would Understand

14-things-only-military-brats-would-understand

Military brats are a unique breed. We deal with situations that our civilian friends sometimes find weird. All because we are son/daughter of a man in uniform. Being a military brat is awesome and tough at the same time. There’s a lot that goes into explaining things to others. Here are 50 things only a military brat would understand:

 

  1. The question of Where are you from?

Okay, what do you want to listen? Where was I born? Or where was I bought up? Or where did I spent my childhood?

  1. It’s natural for you to stand up during the national anthem:

I still remember my friends’ look when I stood up for the national anthem during India-Pakistan cricket world cup.

  1. You’ve learned to sleep through the sounds of morning PT, gunfire, etc:

Because you don’t want to get up at 3:30 in the morning.

  1. You rarely fully unpack:

Because you’ve already have necessary items handy. Also, you would need to repack anyhow on dad’s next posting.

  1. Figuring Out the Best School You Went To:

Because you’ve already studied in a dozen of them by your twelfth.

  1. The immediate bond with another military brat:

“OMG, you’re an army brat too?!” Got someone who could understand what I speak now.

  1. People give you a blank look when you try to explain the difference between a unit, company, battalion, etc

Especially to your civilian friends.

  1. You had an awesome childhood:

…and would never trade that for anything in the world.

  1. Is Your Sibling Born in the Same State:

This is the follow up if you somehow encounter the first question.

  1. You know that no matter where your father is posted, there’s a good chance you’ll be happy moving with him.

All the emotional farewell crap is not new to you.

  1. The Debate of Military VS Civilian Hospital for the Birth:

So, this one’s pretty rare, but we do have ourselves asked at least once whether we were born in a military hospital or a civilian one.

  1. Calling everyone “Sir” or “Saab” is not new to you

And you don’t even feel anything when your father does it everytime, even on their back…

  1. The Ticket Prices for Military Travels:

Yes, that’s a plus point.

  1. After telling someone your father is in the Air Force or Naval Aviation or Army Aviation Corps, you’re ready for the inevitable follow-up question of “Is he a pilot?”

Because you know everyone in the military aviation is not a pilot.

Have you come across more such experiences as a fauji brat? Let us know.

At least 20 terrorists have been neutralised in a daring cross-LoC operation by the Indian Army in response to the Uri attack.

Two units of the elite 2 Paras comprising 18-20 soldiers flew across the LoC in the Uri sector in military helicopters and reportedly carried out an operation that killed at least 20 suspected terrorists across three terror camps in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).

Total casualties, including those injured by terrorists, could be as high as 200, sources said.

Military sources revealed to The Quint, which confirmed this information from two other independent sources, that the operation happened during the intervening hours of 20 September and 21 September.

Indications that the Indian Special Forces struck across LoC came in the form of Pakistan declaring a no-fly zone over PoK on 20 September night.

Pakistan’s national flag carrier Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) had cancelled flights to northern Pakistani cities, including to Gilgit and Skardu in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, due to “air space restrictions”.

PIA called off flights to Gilgit and Skardu in Gilgit-Baltistan region in Pakistan- occupied-Kashmir (PoK) and Chitral in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.

PIA spokesperson Danyal Gilani had tweeted this information late Tuesday evening.

The Nuclear Imbalance by North Korea

The Nuclear Imbalance by North Korea
The Nuclear Imbalance by North Korea

Many developing nations, including India are heading to strengthen their military, in order to equalize the power share in their territory and nuclear technology seems to the latest mean to rank the power of any nation. But North Korea is emerging as the threat to the peace of the planet. The constant nuclear tests that it is conducting these days, is a matter of concern. It has done many tests in defense arena, ranging from ballistic missiles to nuclear tests. North Korea went out of the non-proliferation treaty in 2003 and is known for the tough civil rules and strict regulations.

Talking about the current scenario, North Korea has recently held a nuclear test and it is termed as the biggest nuclear test in its history. The test led to the generation of artificial earthquake around the site of nuclear test. Later North Korea revealed the success of nuclear test, claiming that it is an achievement for the nation and a step toward nuclear mounted missiles. As per the sources of South Korea, the test was done using about 10 tons of nuclear material (Hiroshima bombing had 15 kilotons of nuclear material). Further, the sources informed that the level of earthquake has been increasing with the each consecutive test. This recent earthquake was of 5.3 magnitude.

Why the test was conducted?

The small nation had got many sanctions from the U.S. and is aiming to bolster its Armour against it. Earlier, the H-bomb test by North Korea led to its criticism and U.S imposed several sections over it. North Korea sees U.S as the main target after South Korea was seen inclined toward U.S. after military exercise between both the nations along with growing close links.

All super powers and other nations, with strong militaries are criticizing the test as it violates the denuclearization and hints at more violent acts in the field of international conflicts and this test will ignite more sanctions over North Korea limiting its resources and relations with other nations. Earlier, the sections were imposed to cut the supply of aviation fuel, rocket fuel and some arms to North Korea.

North Korea has been in the field of nuclear test from a decade. Some of the crucial tests in the same sequence are mentioned below.

  • In 2006, it held its first nuclear test
  • In 2009 and 2013, it claimed having tested its 2nd and 3rd nuclear tests.
  • In January, 2016, it announced of having tested hydrogen bomb, triggering a worldwide uproar.

The pace of tests and trails of arms by North Korea seems to be the move to show its power. China is the closest friend of North Korea and all are waiting for its response over this nuclear test. The previous allegations of triple missile test also became a hot topic of discussions. Last month, North Korea tested submarine based ballistic missile and a ballistic missile to bring up its military gears. Moreover, further such tests are expected from the same side. North Korea is making an imbalance in the territory and sparking disputes in the nuclear era, where nuclear power is needed to be handled judiciously and smartly in the favour of mankind.
