however stuff like technical handling, IFC, drills, range, military leadership should be very familiar to any NCC cadet.
ex NCC cadets shld not haf prob coping with stresses of BMT, esp if physical is good, ex NCC cadets can easily be outstanding among their peers as they alrdy haf the 'prerequisites' to the BMT course n most importantly 4 years or more in a 'military' environment makes them alrdy v accustomed to the military culture. of cos there r two sides to this experience, u noe wat it takes to excel in the course, n u also noe how to keng when u want to.
just speaking from experience
