The National Cadet Corps (NCC) would now be considered as a General Elective Credit Course (GECC) in the graduation courses being run in the educational institutes or colleges of Haryana. A decision has been taken in this regard in response to the proposal mooted by the Directorate General National Cadet Corps, New Delhi.

NCC Syllabus for ‘B’ and ‘C’ cert is designed as per choice based credit system of National Education Policy 2020 which grants 24 credit points covering six semesters out of which a student can accrue four credit points covering first two semesters and ten credits in the third and fourth semesters and similarly 10 credits in the fifth and sixth semesters.

The move is in consonance with the National Education Policy 2020 where students can select their choice of subjects rather than being confined to only those being offered by the institutions. This makes the Learning holistic and skill oriented. On the successful completion of the course, students are awarded points which will enable them to qualify for their respective degrees.
