[QUOTE=Ana;316076]yup,there are acadimies run by retired armed forces personnels.
But i remeber when i appeared for gdp course way back in 2002 ,deputy asked me that have you prepare for any academy ?
Will you lie in interview if you prepare from there ?[/QUOTE]
If you did prepare then its better to lie.
If they r happy on ur performance and ask you if u have joined any academy just say " Mere walidain ne meri tarbiat hi aisi kee thee".
This happened with a friend and he is in PAF now.

One should not break the rules by attending academies.
I am planning (after discussing it some persons) to apply. r u?

i m on the fence. join or not..?

The total duration of SPSSC job is around 15 years.

If you are going to apply for SPSSC course then you need not to join any academy. As there is no ISSB involved. Academies mainly focus to prepare for ISSB.
For the rest of written tests, you can qualify easily if you have basic knowledge of your concerned subject & you can manage your time in Intelligence tests.
Psychological tests are similar to psychological tests in ISSB & you can get a good idea by getting some good book on ISSB. No need to join any academy.

Does it mean that after a prescribed (10 years) time, the incumbent would be laid off/seperated from the job?

Is pension being offered to this category?[/QUOTE]

Promotions are not so fast as like in permanent commission.
One SPSSC Engineer can go to Air Commodore rarely & Commonly Group Captain if he is able.
