It can be noted that the NCC special entry scheme was earlier applicable only for men and the applications were being sent manually through group HQrs to DG NCC for onward submission to Air HQrs for detailing cadets for SSB. The entire process was done manually upto issue of call letters which was cumbersome. Also during the various publicity pan India there were numerous queries for extending the NCC special entry for women cadets.
Accordingly, necessary approval has been obtained for introduction of online processing of applications and extending the NCC special entry for women cadets of Air wing ‘C’ certificate holders. The induction of Officers through NCC special entry for male cadets would be for Permanent Commission (PC) & SSC, however women cadets would be inducted for Short Service Commission (SSC).
