Yes you can avail the third chance. Visit joinpakarmy.gov.pk. I hope you will soon find an opening as per your qualification. If there is none at the moment you can call Army Recuriment and Selection center. They will let you know when such jobs are probable.

Thanks for your valuable guidance but as far as I know all the 3 dimensions are important and psychological is the most. They might have interviewed candidates while in uniform but I appeared a month back in ISSB and none of them was wearing uniform. I was told that this is because they do not want candidates to approach a particulat person afterwards since in unifrom you can know their name, rank, unit etc.

consider interview as the most important factor of being successful as the interviewer is a Colonel. In the board if you have his vote, there is a minor chance that you won't be recommended, as junior officers always have to say Yes sir!
My interviewer was appearingly a junior officer.

As far as I know the interviewer, the psychologist and the GTO write your report without knowing to whom your other dimensions of assesmnet have been alloted and mostly if you are recommended by any two of them you are successful. Reinterviews are called when there in some ambiguity or the interviewer and psychologist have given different opinion.

There is a common misconception that those who are called for reinterview are highly recommended or the only recommneded ones. Re-interview is good to the extent that atleast they are considering you for recommendation. But one should tackle it with great care since probably there is some doubt left that they want to clarify. Nowadays the President himself takes re-interviews at ISSB. I guess he has some psychological background because all the girls I met after their re-interview told he was asking simple questions and then confusing them thorugh cross questioning.

My interview was quite open and detailed so I wasn't expecting any re-interview. Afterwards people repeatedly told me that since my re-interview was not called I am not to be recommmended. But I was! And so do many other in my batch. So pay no attention to such rumours. They are common in ISSB. There are a lot others, will discuss them afterwards
