COMMISSION IN THE ARMED FORCES

Commission in the Armed Forces calls for a very high standard of practical education, leadership skills and outstanding discipline. Hence the impression that any student can succeed with a few weeks preparation in any coaching centre is absolutely incorrect. The fact is that if during selection and training process it is disclosed that student has received tutoring in some coaching centre, such a student can be declared unfit for Commission.

Cadet College Lahore offers broad-based quality education and pro-military training with military discipline right from day one. Such a grooming enhances the capabilities of the Cadets and builds their self confidence. Obviously, a cadet offered a pro-military atmosphere with a wide academic base stands better chances for Commission in the Armed Forces.

a. First Stage when Cadets can join Cadet College Lahore as Kindergarten Cadets for Montessori, Grade I to IV, as Junior Cadets for Grades V, VI & VII, and as Senior Cadets for Grades VIII,IX,X & XI.
