How to Add an NCC Certificate to a Resume for Freshers

| by

If you have an NCC “A”, “B”, or “C” certificate, include it in your resume.

I recommend mentioning your NCC certificate details in the Achievements section of your resume. Having an NCC certificate shows your discipline, leadership, teamwork, and commitment. These qualities are also required for a job.

Another benefit is that it adds value to your resume. If the interviewer asks about your NCC certificate, you can explain it, which helps build confidence during the interview.

ACHIEVEMENTS

(OR)

ACHIEVEMENTS

NCC “A” Certificate – National Cadet Corps (2021)

  • Active NCC cadet for 3 years.
  • Represented the school in the NCC state-level camp.

Should You Mention NCC Certificate Details in the “Certification” or “Extra-Curricular Activities” Section of the Resume?

You can do that, but I don’t recommend it because the Certifications section of a resume is mainly for qualifications or job-related certifications.

So, do not put your achievements in the Certifications section.

Being an NCC member is an achievement.

NCC is not just an extracurricular activity. It is a structured programme that trains you for the future, and it also helps you develop qualities that are valuable as an employee.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don’t write long paragraphs. Keep your points simple and short.
  • Write only genuine certificate details, and keep a xerox copy of your NCC certificate whenever you go for an interview.
