Discipline and drive mark the NCC selection drive as it energises the students of Apeejay School, Model Town
The Apeejay School, Model Town, campus buzzed with purpose as students from Classes VIII, IX, X, and XI took part in the NCC selection drive. The goal was clear. Identify committed learners who can uphold the values of discipline, service, and teamwork.
The response was strong and steady from morning to close. From warm-up drills to written checks, each step ran on time, with students listening closely, helping peers, and maintaining safe, orderly lines.
Who led the process?
Army personnel from the 2 Punjab Battalion conducted the selection. Their briefings set a clear standard. Every step followed an organised flow.
How the selection worked
The drive had two rounds that tested both body and mind.
· Physical assessment to check stamina, coordination, and drill basics
· Written test to gauge awareness, problem-solving, and presence of mind
Participation highlights
Students reported on time and formed orderly queues.
· Warm-up drills were done with care
· Instructions were followed at each station
· Water breaks and rotation were managed without delay
· Safety was maintained across all areas
What stood out?
Here is the thing. The energy never dipped. Peer support was visible. Seniors guided juniors through drill cues. Focus stayed on learning and getting better with each attempt.
Why it matters
· NCC builds habits that last well beyond school.
· Confidence in public tasks
· Respect for time and process
· Teamwork during drills and camps
· A sense of service to the community
What happens next?
Evaluators will compile scores from both rounds. Shortlisted names will be shared by the school office. An orientation will follow. It will cover the training schedule, code of conduct, and expectations during school hours and events.
Key takeaway
The selection drive was more than a test. It was a clear step toward shaping responsible young citizens who lead with calm action and steady discipline.
