The NCC is a responsive and continuously evolving organization. Its activities are guided by certain core values that we endeavor to instill among all ranks of the NCC.
"I do hereby solemnly promise that I will serve my motherland most truly and loyally and that, I will abide by the rules and regulations of the National Cadet Corps. Further, under the command and control of my commanding officer I will participate in every camp most sincerely and wholeheartedly."
"We, the cadets of the national cadet corps, do solemnly pledge that we shall always uphold the unity of India. We resolve to be disciplined and responsible citizens of our nation. We shall undertake positive community service in the spirit of selflessness and concern for our fellow beings."
The NCC in India was formed with the National Cadet Corps Act of 1948. It was raised on 15 July 1948 The National Cadet Corps can be considered as a successor of the University Officers Training Corps (UOTC) which was established by the British in 1942. During World War II, the UOTC never came up to the expectations set by the British. This led to the idea that some better schemes should be formed, which could train more young men in a better way, even during peace times.
A committee headed by Pandit H.N. Kunzru recommended a cadet organization to be established in schools and colleges at a national level. The National Cadet Corps Act was accepted by the Governor General and on 15 July 1948 the National Cadet Corps came into existence.
During the 1965 and 1971 wars with Pakistan, NCC cadets were the second line of defence. They organised camps to assist the ordinance factories, supplying arms and ammunition to the front, and also were used as patrol parties to capture the enemy paratroopers. The NCC cadets also worked hand in hand with the Civil Defence authorities and actively took part in rescue work and traffic control. After the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak wars the NCC syllabus was revised. Rather than just being the second line of defence, NCC syllabus laid a greater stress on developing qualities of leadership and Officer-like qualities. The military training which the NCC cadets received was reduced and greater importance was given to other areas like social service and youth-management.
A Director General heads the National Cadet Corps, an Army Officer of the rank of Lieutenant General, who is responsible for the functioning of the National Cadet Corps in the country through the National Cadet Corps Headquarters situated at Delhi. At the State Level, the country has been divided into 17 Directorates covering all States and Union Territories. Each of the State National Cadet Corps Directorate Headquarters controls two to fourteen Group Headquarters. While Directorates are commanded by Brigadiers or their equivalents, the Groups are commanded by Colonels or their equivalents from the Air Force and the Navy and NCC Units are commanded by Majors / Lieutenant Colonels or their equivalents.

The NCC flag for various units of the NCC was first introduced in 1951. The first flag was of the same pattern, colour and size as used by various regiments of the Army. The only difference was that it had the NCC badge and unit designation placed in the centre. Later on it was felt that the flag should be designed in keeping the inter-service character of the Corps. In 1954 the existing Tri-colour flag was introduced. The three colours in the flag depict the three services of the Corps, red for the Army, deep blue for the Navy and light blue for the Air Force. The letters NCC and the NCC crest in gold in the middle of the flag encircled by a wreath of lotus, give the flag a colourful look and a distinct identity.

The Cadets are trained and tested in General Knowledge, Drill, Cross-country events, First Aid, Health and Hygiene, Map Reading, Obstacles, Firing, Group Discussion, Personal Interview, Front Line Area, Flag Area and Cultures. Cadets also participate in inter-group and inter-collegiate competitions. The training is broadly divided into four distinct categories namely, Institutional Training, Community Development, Youth Exchange Program and Adventure Activities.
Cadets must be made to understand the aim and purpose of teaching drill, so that they are suitably motivated and do not take it as "fatigue". Emphasis will be laid on correct bearing, marching, saluting and arms drill. Cadets generally take keen interest in weapon training and firing. All cadets get an opportunity to fire their authorized ammunition.
Physical Fitness, First Aid, Camp Training which forms the most vital part of the NCC Training. In camps, young cadets get the thrill and joy of outdoor and community living. Besides, All India Camps such as National Integration, Leadership, Army Attachment, Republic Day and Independence Day Camps in which cadets from all parts of the country work together and contribute greatly towards promoting national integration. These camps widen the horizon of the young cadets and provide them an opportunity to forge bonds of national brotherhood. These camps help abridge cultural gaps, break regional and language barriers and bring the youth from different parts of the country closer to each other.
These activities aim at making our young people conscious and sensitive to the needs and problems of their fellow countrymen, enabling them to contribute meaningfully to enrich community life. The NCC has been in the forefront in rendering assistance to the needy. Some of the major areas of activities include blood donation, adult literacy, anti-dowry, anti-leprosy, anti-drug, tree plantation, eye donation and construction of roads. NCC has also laid great stress on ecology and conservation of plant life.

This is a very important activity. It is done to increase international understanding and bolster awareness. These exchanges are done with NCC community of 10 countries namely Australia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Singapore, UK, Russia and Vietnam at international level. This exchange program includes mutual visits up to 24 cadets for a period of two weeks. Cadets carry out community development work, study history, culture and socio- economic conditions of YEP countries.
Adventure activities are organized to develop special qualities of courage, leadership, spirit of adventure, sportsmanship, spirit of comradeship, teamwork and self-confidence amongst the cadets. Some of the activities are Trekking, Rock-climbing, Mountaineering, Para Jumping, Scuba Diving, Water-Skiing, Sailing, Kayaking, Yachting, Parasailing, Glider and Micro light Flying, Slithering and Cycle/Motorcycle expeditions.
The eligibility conditions and the general procedure to conduct the Certificate Examination for Cadets of Senior and Junior Division/Wings NCC (All wings) will be issued by NCC HQ from time to time. The aim of this directive is to consolidate all such instructions and revise them, where necessary.

The ex-cadet so eligible can appear for the examination at any place in India by applying for the same, alongside with discharge certificate, to Local Unit Commander. The Group Commander is empowered to accept such requests from the ex-cadets.
With a view to give Cadets a chance to apply for the NCC Special Entry Scheme, in case their grading improves, ITKL has rules that: 1. Cadets who have obtained a 'C' grading in NCC 'C' Certificate Exam and who wish to improve their grading will be allowed to appear for a retest. Only one retest will be allowed. 2. Cadets will have to re-appear for a complete examination.
Retest will be held along with fresh cases in the subsequent year. During the period, these Cadets may attend at least two weeks' Special Parade/Coaching classes to be organized by units after the academic session. Those Cadets who do not attend the Special Parade/Classes will also be eligible to appear in the re-test. No refreshment or other allowance will be admissible for these classes/parades/retests.
