My Words
According to the laws of Pakistan everyone have to pass I.S.S.B. to get senior comission in Pakistan Army and have to pass CSS for Civil Service.
I have made this page for the students and candidates of ISSB. I have experienced to meet many successful guys in issb tests now living in AMCollege and PMA. The test is held twice an year. One gets senior comission in Pakistan Army, Navy and PAF after training if ISSB is passed. Some of its contents are also given to candidates for the selection of Army Medical College Rawalpindi after clearance of entry test. The centres for ISSB are Karachi, Kohat and Gujranwala.
After passing the ISSB you can join one of these institutes (in which one has applied).
Now a few words about couching centres and helping books. All these are useless if you dont have confidence and personality. Theories never makes a man practical unless untill one do things with will power. And for a person who has already courage and confidence never needs these centres and books which destrys their own personality. So never join academies and couching centres but just have courage although you can have guidline from these books.
Special Notes:
If you have any questions about ISSB then please please please dont add me on your MSN or Yahoo Messenger because it makes me difficult to manage my own contacts. However your emails at junaidahmadj@yahoo.com are appreciated and I will answer if anything I would know about.

Initial Entry test and Interview and Medical tests.
These are very easy to pass and include tests of your own choiced subject in FA/FSc and IQ test is essentail to pass. Then there is an initial interveiw in which no difficult thing is asked.
Then there is an initial medical test including only physical test like Height (min 5'4"), Eyes (6/6 with or without glasses except for GD Pilot where no glasses are allowed), Hernia, Knee knocking, Flat foot etc are checked only.
Most of students pass all of these initial stages so do not consider lucky untill you get a final call letter to join PMA (or anyother institure of your choice)
