Associate NCC Officer
Volunteer & willing Professors and Teachers are appointed as part-time NCC officers. These NCC officers are called Associate NCC Officers (ANOs). Mostly, the functioning of the NCC in institutions depends on the motivated ANO. However, the Associate NCC Officer (ANO) creates the most vital link between the educational institute and the NCC Battalion. Basically, the Associate NCC Officer has to undergo training in a 3-month rigorous Pre-commission Course.
In case, there is an absence of ANO, a Care Taker will look after NCC Unit. The appointment of a Caretaker is done at the school or institute level.

Parmeet ji,
Nice that you have so much achievement earlier. But to be ANO there is no compulsory for such achievement. Now directly answering your question- Apke school ne jinke naame bheje honge unka naam he interview ke liye aa sakta hai. So ap apne principal ko convince kre. Unki marzi se he apka name Ano training k liye bheja jayga.

Sir, ANO ke selection ke liye interview me kitna tough hota h
Mujhe nhi lagata ki tough hota hai. Bus ap apni impressive presence waha dijiye baki to unko Ano chahiye he h. Actually phsycally and mentally is interview me ye dekha jata hai ki ap ANO ke liye fit hai ki nhi.
Is ANO a gazetted officer?
It’s better to prepare for govt job level d also and grab it as ano is not government job and it’s salary is also just below 20000 so better u first grab group d vacancy in government first .
If not getting govt job then do any job in private accordingly ano salary is less and u can only go to ano just for uniform if it worth u nothing special in that it is just below a constable or sipahi in forces

सर नमस्कार।मै पिछले तीन सालसे ncc caretaker हुं मेरा board हो चुका है व मेरा PRCN COURSE एक.महीने बाद है मेरे course से सम्बन्धित दस्तावेज युनिट को भेज दिये है किन्तु मेरा तबादला आदेश विभाग के द्वारा किये गये है क्या मुझे इस base पर कोर्ट में हेल्प हो सकती है की मेरा prcn course complete कर सकुं
मुझे नहीं लगता कि इस आधार पर आपको तबादले से छूट मिले कि आप अपना PRCN कर सको। बाक़ी आप विभाग में अपने स्तर से कुछ करवा सकते हैं तो करवा लीजिए अन्यथा, आपको इस बारे में मुझे नहीं लगता कि कोई आराम मिलेगा।
सर मेरी लेफ्टिनेंट रैंक है मैंने पर्स 2016 में PRCN कोर्स किया था प्रबंधक और प्रधानाचार्य ने 2023 में कॉलेज से सीसी सरेंडर कर दी सर मैं 2021 में कप्तान बनने के लिए रिफ्रेशर कोर्स भी किया है इसमें मैं अल्फा ग्रेड सी पास आउट कॉलेज के प्रिंसिपल और प्रबंधन में मुझे जबरन इस्तीफा ले लिया था सीसी से सर मैं कहीं स्थानांतरण कर लेता हूं तो मुझे क्या captain रैंक पर प्रमोशन मिल पाएगा kripya Meri samasya ka Samadhan karne ki kripa Karen सर सुपर न्यूमैरोलॉजी लिस्ट क्या होती है
Agar ap kahi or transfer lete hain jaha NCC h ya apne khola to apki rank and training continue rahegi.
मै राजस्थान से हु। मै शिक्षा विभाग मे शारीरिक शिक्षक हु।5 साल से 2013 मे मेरा C सर्टिफिकेट हो गया था । मेरी स्कुल मे NCC नही है।मेरे ब्लाक की स्कुल मे NCC है।तो क्या मे उस स्कुल की ANO बन सकती हु।ओर मुझे कहा व केसे एप्लाई करना होगा
Apko ANO banne ke liye apke khud ke school me Ncc Hona chahiye. Dusre block ya school me ano banne me thoda technical issue rahte hain.
