Expressions
The Selection Board is always looking for people with good expression, may it be Urdu or English, clear direction, a good vocabulary and sense of grammar. Try to develop these by joining in debates and group discussions.

Self Confidence
Self-confidence and maturity are largely the product of experience. You can strengthen these qualities by participating in-group activities, taking on responsibility and exercising independence.

Academic Ability
Good academic results mean you will be good at absorbing the training of advanced and sophisticated equipment. Make your English and Mathematics sound.

Leadership
If you possess the above qualities, you will have a greater potential for leadership training. Try and seek out positions of responsibility in academic, youth, social or sports activities. If you are applying for an officer vacancy then this trait is going to be the dominant one.

Fitness
Take adequate physical exercise in the run up before you report at the ISSB. If you are already a gym person and take care of your fitness, you will be at ease at physical tasks there.

Motivation
You should be convincing and sincere in your reasons for wanting to join armed forces. Make sure you really know for what and why you are applying. You should know your destiny and the exact reason of being there.
