2. I heard marks doesnt counts, i mean the %ages in fsc.
I mean if someone has lower than 60% he can still
Appear in interview. It depends on selectors and the candidate itself as w
Whole. I mean if he is intelligent and physically fit, he still has chances?
No problem buddy, you can go still go for PMA. However more then 60 % will have an additive effect.


3. There is 2 year training at PMA KAKUL.
After that training, what happen? :/ we are sent on fields i mean as a captain/colonol or we are further kept over their
To
Complete some type of bachelor degree?
During to year training you will also have to do bachelors along your training. That's why this is named as long course. After two years training you will be graduate as well. And in this regard proper convocation ceremony is held before passing out parade. After passing out you will be given rank of 2nd. Lieutenant in Pakistan Army in any unit. Further courses will be proceeded from unit. After 6 months service you will be promoted to Lieutenant and Then Captain and Major and Colonel onward as per time and courses.


4. The candidate who is selected and short listed go to the pma.
He have anykind of
Permission to use mobile phone? Camera?
No not at all. Don't even think so as per academy rules.

5. The side courses help? Are they considered as a plus
Point during interviews? I have appeared in IELTS examination. And i have scored 7.5 out of 9. If i attach my ielts certificate withy documents, that would be considered a plus point? Or not?




I still have many questions to ask!!
Only if someone can help me with these first.
No IELTS is irrespective. Just fulfill what is mentioned in criteria. Side courses doesn't help . However your distinctions during academic period helps a lot


Thankyou for reading!
