The Government of India started in 1925 a scheme of voluntary military training amongst the students and named it the University Training Corps (U.T.C). The designation was changed in 1943 to the University Officer’s Training Corps (U.O.T.C). Our college had the pride of being one of the founder members of the U.O.T.C. starting with a quota of half a platoon of 20 cadets in the Tiruchirappalli detachment of the 5th (Madras) Battalion U.O.T.C.
Mr M S Sundaram of the Department of English was the first commissioned officer in command of the college unit for 3 years from 1925 to 1928.
The first substantial increase in the strength of the college unit came in 1933 with a full platoon of 40 cadets.
The college unit got the stature of a company of 160 cadets in 1943 and the Coy. Was designated as “C” coy. under the 2nd (Madras) Battalion U.O.T.C. with headquarters at Trichy.
The U.O.T.C became “National Cadet Corps” (N.C.C.) in 1948 with senior, junior and girls divisions. Consequent to the expansion of NCC activities across the nation, the “NCC Rifles” was created as an adjunct to the existing NCC organization. Under the new set up, a company had an authorized strength of 200 cadets with one office as Coy. Commander.
Our college was sanctioned 3 Rifle Coys. With 3 officers – Lt. S Vaitheeswaran, Lt T R Sundararaman and Lt. B N Viswanathan as Coy.Commanders.

An Armoured Squadron unit of the NCC with 2 troops of 50 cadets was started in the college in 1961with Lt. V Swaminathan as troop commander.
Owing to reorganization of the Corps, the NCC and NCCR units of our college were merged in July 1964 to become Nos.1 to 5 and 9 Coys. of a new 30 (Madras) Batallion N.C.C. There are four Units of NCC at National College, TrichyThey are Army, Armed, Navy and Air-force.
