Admissions to the College
are restricted to Class VIII only for those boys whose parents are
domiciled in the province of Sindh according to Division-wise quota,
based on the population and who are between 12 to 14 ½ years of
age on March 31st of the Admissions Year. 15% of the seats are reserved
for Defence personnel, and 8% are reserved for Federal government
nominees belonging to backward areas. 5 seats are reserved for
sons of Life Members of the Petarian Association.
Selection is made through
a selection procedure comprising (i) Written test in English, Maths
and Urdu/Sindhi, (ii) Interviews (viva voce), and finally (iii)
a Medical Test. Written tests are normally held at Karachi, Hyderabad,
Mirpurkhas, Nawabshsh, Dadu, Larkana and Sukkur. Candidates who qualify
through a process of all these tests are considered for selection
on merit within the limitations of the quota system being followed
at present.
The college also has
some seats for students on a self-finance basis. In order to qualify
for this scheme, the candidate must have passed the entry tests,
though he may not have been selected on the merit list.
Every year, the
college does admit very few students to class XI as well. The number
admitted depends on the vacancies created by some students leaving
the college after Matric. Please contact the Principal to find out
the status on these seats.
Details are given in the College
Prospectus. Desirous candidates can apply on the prescribed form
contained in the College Prospectus, obtainable against crossed
postal orders of Rs. 250 (favouring the Principal Cadet College
Petaro) by post or in person. The college advertises the
admissions schedule in national newspapers every year. Normally
there is a last date for submission of completed
Application Forms without late fee, and a last date for submission
of applications with a penalty. Please do check with the college
administration by calling the numbers given below.
