The National Cadet Corps is the Indian military cadet corps with its headquarters in New Delhi. It is open to school and college students on a voluntary basis.

The National Cadet Corps in India is a voluntary organization that recruits cadets from high schools, colleges, and Universities all over India. The Cadets are given basic military training in small arms and parades.
