The
College organizes a high profile course called the National
Management Course (NMC) twice a year for senior civil
servants (Joint Secretary level). So
far the College has organized 84 National Management Courses
(NMC).
The strength of participants upto 81st NMC
was 24 participants.
However, upon induction of the new Principal Lt.
General (Retired) Javed Hassan, HI (M), and in line with the
new vision spelt out by the Government, a substantial
increase in the intake of the Participants has taken place.
Consequently, the strength of the participants registered an
increase from 24 participants to 42 for 82nd NMC.
And the intake for 85th NMC had been further
raised to 45 participants.
Now 50 participants have been invited for the 85th
NMC. Simultaneously,
substantial changes have also been incorporated to make the
course curriculum more wholesome and comprehensive focusing
on global, regional and domestic dynamics that impact
formulation and implementation of public policy.
