All the perks that are available to officers will be available to you as well.

I believe its a decent career for an engineer (looking at unemployment in our country).

I aint sure about promotion because normally, Captains (talking about officers who come from L/C) can take Capt. to Maj. promotion exam after they have served four years in army. Plus, it will be hard to become a Maj. Gen.

You are allowed to take exams (before 28 years of age). Now the fact is that if you are an average officer in army, you can make you way to civil services. If you are an ace officer or a below average officer, you'll never be selected.

People selected through DSSC actually serve in supporting branches. They cannot switch to fighting arms (Infantry, Arty or Armoured Corps). So you'll have to serve in your parent formation but yes, even you can get a chance to serve in ISI. ISI postings are never for you entire life. You go tehre, serve for a couple of years and come back to your parent unit. Same holds true for SSG. For SSG, one has to volunteer and then there is a procedure for induction to SSG.

The candidates reporting at ISSB are subjected to an elaborate selection system and the ones with requisite leadership potentials are recommended to undergo training in the three services academies.[/SIZE]

i would really appreciate ur reply to my queries , but a few queries still remain unanswered. i got an impression from ur post that icto is a good job but at the time it is hard to get promotion after MAJOR . one more thing as we all know that a captain in army is exempted from written exam of css , is this previlige also available to icto. remember he has to sign a 7 years bond to serve army .

No. I didnt mean to say that promotion from Capt. to Maj. is hard. Its just that I do not have much idea about policies for supporting arms. Yes, the same privilege will be available to you as well. Give me a day or two and I'll get everything confirmed inshaAllah.

Dear ICTO Promotion is hard at highest level as according to my close relative who is currently a caption(ICTO ), to become brigadier one must have PHD qualification.

You probably asked about serving in SSG. Officers from supporting arms cannot volunteer for SSG.

You asked about promotion. There is only one promotion exam i.e Capt to Maj. Afterwards, its the board that promotes you seeing you ACRs etc and every competent officer can be a Gen. Basic promotion exam can be taken once you are a commissioned exam and have served for 2 years (though I aint sure. Have asked it from my friend, lets see what he says).

Is there anything else that I missed?

@ nice051

Sorry, I was wrong about basic promotion test. Here is reply from my friend...
"every grad crs got a seniority equalant to a long course..like all engr guy who passed out wid me in 113 L\C they got the snrity of 111 L\C ..cz they ve already spent 5 years in NUST ..so they were made snr to us after passing out.. we long crs guys r eligible to appear in capt to maj exam 4 years after passing out....so all those engr guys who passed out wid me they were eligible to appear after 3 years cz they ll appear in dat exam Wid the crs they were given snrty ..."

Hope its clear now.

@ Hussain Qureshi

I didnt get you.

well, if any ISI officers like Assistant Director want to appear in CSS, would eligible for exemption of written part of it ?

in addition to that ISI officers like Assistant Director can join SSG ?

For both of your queries answer is No.
AD ISI is not a uniformed person, and have to go through written part as well.

my main aim of triggering this moot is to get more and more knowledge and to create awareness in the upcoming engineers. when i was at AS&RC , the few people to whom i met really lowered my spirit as they told me that ICTO was not respectful job, according to them juniors would not salute an icto officer. ICTO is called as chacha at PMA. ICTO is selected as captain but after becoming MAJOR its hard for a person who got commission in army on DSSR got further promotion. these points are dirturbing and creating low spirits among engrs. i am highly greatful to my fellows for comming up with generous replies.
