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.

There is no test. Only prescribed eligibility is sufficient.

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.
