NCC C Certificate Benefits in NDA

Any one is here who can provide me details about benefits of having NCC ‘C’ Certificate on the timings of joining NDA? My friend said me that there is no benefit of this certificate that I am having. So please tell me that how I can show all benefits of the NCC ‘C’ Certificate in NDA?
