The National Cadet Corps (NCC) is a voluntary organization under the Ministry of Defence, known as the largest uniformed youth body in India. Its motto, “Unity and Discipline”, reflects its commitment to shaping responsible, disciplined, and patriotic citizens.
Originating under the National Cadet Corps Act of 1948, it includes Army, Navy, and Air Wing units that provide structured training and activities for youth. Chandigarh University hosts boys under the 2nd Chandigarh NCC Battalion and girls under the 1st Chandigarh NCC Girls Battalion.
The university offers 'B' and 'C' certificates for Senior Division/Senior Wing cadets over a 3-year tenure. Cadets engage in camps, parades, rallies, drills, and awareness programs.
After a series of discussions, the official motto "Unity and Discipline" was finalized in 1980 to reflect the core purpose of NCC – developing united and disciplined citizens to serve the nation.
Chandigarh University’s NCC Wing has emerged as a cradle for grooming next-generation officers for the Indian Armed Forces. Since its inception in 2013, it has trained over 520 cadets — 379 males and 141 females — in trekking, mountaineering, weapon handling, map reading, and self-defense.
Out of these, an impressive 43 cadets have been commissioned as officers: 26 in the Indian Army, 13 in the Indian Navy, and 4 in the Indian Air Force — achieving a remarkable 8% selection rate.
✈️ Flying Officer Jiwanjot Kaur Chahal (CSE) turned down a lucrative IT job to join the Indian Air Force in 2020 — proudly becoming the first officer in her family.
⚓ Ashi Sharma (CSE), inspired by her grandfather, trained in CU’s Army NCC Wing and is now commissioned in the Indian Navy.
🎖️ Captain Prithvi Singh Mann (CSE) joined NCC early, completed multiple leadership camps, and now serves in the Indian Army as a Captain.
"The foundation of my military career was laid here. NCC instilled discipline and leadership that shaped who I am today." — Captain Prithvi Mann
Capt. (Retd) Dr. Gurpreet Singh, Director of CU NCC, remarked: “Within just 11 years, 43 cadets commissioned into Armed Forces — a milestone of national pride.”
Satnam Singh Sandhu, Chancellor of CU, said: “We proudly prepare students for both global industries and the Indian Armed Forces. Our NCC Wing is a national inspiration.”
