Brig PS Sangwan, Group Commander, Kohima NCC Group visited Yingli College, Longongkang Campus, Longleng on Wednesday as part of the Annual Inspection of NCC units, DIPR stated.
In his address, Brig Sangwan complimented the NCC cadets for their hard work and dedication towards all NCC activities. He asked the cadets to think about the career path they would like to take and write it down. He said that Naga students are very talented and have a good grasp of the English language, so they have better chances of making it to the Central Government jobs.
Moreover, a significant number of vacancies are reserved for Scheduled Tribes and with the NCC ‘C’ Certificate, the cadets are way ahead of others who compete for UPSC and NPSC exams. Hence, they should aim to clear these exams, he said.
The Group Commander also informed about the special drives carried out by renowned corporate companies like Reliance and SpiceJet to recruit NCC cadets in other parts of the country. He said that NCC Group Kohima would make efforts to invite such companies to recruit interested cadets from the hinterland of Nagaland thereby providing additional job opportunities.
