37. UPGRADING FROM SEC TO NCCS (New Consumer Classification
System)
What is NCCS?
NCCS is used to classify households in India. It was co-developed by Market Research Society of India (MRSI) and Media Research Users Council (MRUC) and
classifies households on two variables - education of the chief wage earner and the number of consumer durables owned by the household from a predefined
list.
Why is it used?
NCCS is used to discriminate between households and define the entire consumer behavior of a household - what will his family aspire for, gender ratio or life
expectancy of a family member. It is used by IRS and New launched TV ratings methodology from BARC. It is similar to SEC but here, the attempt is to
understand the behavioral variables of a consumer as well.
How different is SEC from NCCS?
SEC is an urban-only system while NCCS is national.
SEC classifies consumers on two variables - education of the chief wage earner and his occupation and is linked to one individual. It doesn't use household
parameters to classify the households, which NCCS does.
The classification of occupation was urban-oriented in the case of SEC. When SEC was launched, the interest in the rural consumers was very low. It did not
include the conventional rural occupations. So, there were two different classifications. One for the rural system wherein the Rural SEC Grid used education
and type of house (pucca, semi-pucca, and katcha) as measures of socio-economic class, and segmented rural India into 4 groups (R1, R2, R3, R4) and the
other for urban - SEC A1, SEC A2 and so on.
Further Details on the same can reviewed from the below Link
http://www.afaqs.com/news/story/42980_A-Dummys-Guide-to-NCCS
40. LIST OF DURABLES
The durables (as on date) are Electricity Connection, Ceiling Fan, Gas Stove, Refrigerator, Two Wheeler, Washing Machine, Colour TV, Computer, Four-
wheeler, Air Conditioner and Agricultural land (in rural areas). Research showed that it is an adequate classification. This list will be relooked after a
certain period of time.
