There are two training establishments namely Officers Training School, Kamptee (Nagpur, Maharashtra) and Women Officers Training School, Gwalior.

NCC FLAG

The NCC flag for various units of the NCC was first introduced in 1951. The flag was of same pattern, colour and size as was used by various regiments of the Army. The only difference was that it had the NCC badge and unit designation placed in the centre. Later on it was felt that the flag should be in keeping with the inter-service character of the Corps. In 1954 the existing tricolour flag was introduced. The three colours in the flag  depict  the  three services of the Corps, red for the Army, deep blue for the  Navy and  light blue for the Air Force. The letters NCC and the NCC crest in gold in the middle of the flag encircled by a wreath of Lotus, give the flag a colourful look and a distinct identity.
