Combined Defence Services (CDS)<\/p>\n

Technical Entry Scheme (TES)<\/p>\n

Judge Advocate General (JAG) Branch<\/p>\n

Army Education Corps<\/p>\n

Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT)<\/p>\n

These avenues offer cadets opportunities to build a successful career in the Indian Army and Indian Air Force.<\/p>\n

Lieutenant Pankaj Kumar provided insights into the various stages of the Service Selection Board (SSB) process. He also shared his experience as a student of Journalism and Mass Communication at Vallabh Government College, emphasizing that communication skills and personality development play a crucial role in SSB selection. He acknowledged the contribution of Flying Officer Dr. Chaman in developing leadership qualities through NCC training and refining communication skills through journalism studies.<\/p>\n

On this occasion, Professor Surina Sharma honored the young military officers by presenting them with copies of the college\u2019s prestigious magazine, “Bipasha”.<\/p>\n

Flying Officer Dr. Chaman highlighted the remarkable achievements of Lieutenant Vinay Thakur and Lieutenant Pankaj Kumar, stating that their commissioning as officers in the Indian Army under the Presidential Commission has brought pride to Vallabh Government College, NCC Air Wing Mandi, Himachal Pradesh Air Squadron NCC Kullu, and the entire state. Their accomplishments serve as an inspiration for the youth of the nation.<\/p>\n

Both officers had also represented Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Chandigarh Directorate in the prestigious Republic Day Camp in Delhi during their NCC training.<\/p>\n

Recognizing their hard work, discipline, and unwavering dedication, the NCC Air Wing Mandi honored Lieutenant Vinay Thakur and Lieutenant Pankaj Kumar with the “Pride Honors” award.<\/p>\n
