The Uttar Pradesh board has decided to introduce the National Cadet Corps (NCC) as an elective subject for students in classes 10 and 12. As per reports, NCC will have a separate question paper in the board exam for the academic year 2022-2023. But, let us find out the benefits of this newly introduced subject.
Now, if students elect NCC as their optional subject then its numbers will be added to the marksheet. Those in Class 10 can choose NCC with Science, Mathematics, Hindi, English, and Social Science. While science and commerce students of Class 12 will not be able to take NCC as their optional subject, Class 12 students of Arts/Humanities will get this opportunity. Training under the guidance of the NCC Directorate will be provided to students who take NCC in an additional subject. Notable, once the training is completed they will get a certificate.
