PRIMARY GOALS AND AIMS

The basic aim and goals of this quality based Military institution is to provide the potential officers to the Pakistan Armed Forces and specially Pakistan Army. All the expenses of the training which a cadet gets, is provided by the G.H.Q., so after been trained it's compulsory for all the boys to apply for the I.S.S.B. as their initial training ends after the Intermediate Examinations. The cadets with the extra ordinary marks have the option to apply for the technical arms.

Here the features of Self Discipline, Emotional Stability, and General Public Address is stressed in one cadet's life. Beside that he gets a fertile environment for the Mental and Physical Growth. Every student has to do some thing in every field like participation in Sports, Academic Activities, Book readings and after that producing the book-reviews in front of the instructors and fellows, which gives him the good habit of reading and understanding the books, beside that he exercises facing the audience at the same time. He has to do all of his work at his own, which is hardly to find in the boys of the same age living at their homes. He has to participate in the activities of his interest in the days of Annual Parents Day. By living and performing all the tasks together, the cadets adopt a very good habit of working in shape of groups, which is very common and necessary for a good professional in the military line. Thus the students becomes familiar with the ability of Public Relations.

Special stress on physical exercises is given from time to time. Running with in the given time and cover the specified distance, using the Will Power till the last moment, is very common lesson been taught within the premises of Physical Training Area. Physically cadets are given a tough time which ultimately pays them a lot when they are under training with other civilian (Non Alamgirians) Gentleman Cadets at Pakistan Military Academy. Sports fixtures with the other cadet colleges are scheduled for that the teams are made on college level, in which cadets work hard for the name of their great alma mater 'Military College Jhelum'. Special trips are scheduled which gives them some sort of change in their routine and refreshment on their recursion tours.

Cadets are divided in various houses due to which an environment of a competition remains through out the year. Every one tries best for the victory of his house in the events which is dependent on his participation.

From time to time the college authorities invites the scholars ,thinkers and experts of a specific field as a guest speaker in order to presents his ideas in front of the young 'Alamgirians'. After that the cadets are invited for the questions on the subject.
