NCC, NSO, NSS & NCA
First-year students have a credit requirement to fulfil by opting for one of the
following three options.
The National Cadet Corps is the civilian youth wing of the Indian Armed Forces, which
inculcates discipline and patriotism in its volunteers. Students who join the NCC
complete training for parade marches, which they take part in during occasions such as
the campus Independence Day and Republic Day celebrations. Cadets can also attend
training camps where they are given NCC training according to the applicable syllabus
(Army, Navy, or Air Force), as well as survival skills.
The National Sports Organisation is a government programme that encourages the pursuit
of athletics and sports among students and the youth. Students can join one of the wide
variety of sports groups and hone their talents using the well-equipped sports complexes
and equipment on campus.
The National Service Scheme is a voluntary organisation that facilitates students and
youth to perform community service. IIT Madras has an active volunteer team that runs
several projects, enabling students to positively impact their surrounding community.
First-year students who enrol are allotted a project team, which they contribute
towards. Credits can be earned through project milestones, winter internships, and
attending events such as lectures, movie screenings, and awareness campaigns that the
NSS managerial team organise.
National Cultural Academy (NCA) is one of the programs, along with the above credited
programs, that form a compulsory part of a student's academic record at IIT Madras. NCA
provides an interesting and exciting opportunity to students to pursue their passions in
a variety of cultural courses offered under its umbrella. Students are exposed to an
experiential-based learning program with high-quality trainers to hone their creative
skills while meeting curriculum requirements. Currently, the following activities are
offered: Guitar, Keyboard, Western Vocals, Carnatic Vocals, Film-Making, Bharatnatyam,
Western Dance, Contemporary Dance, Fine Arts, Dramatics and Design.
