Ans They are mandatory.You can't sit in the ISSB without having original marksheets/certificates.

Q-5 Can i apply for commission in the forces on the basis of hpoe certificate ?

Ans No.The policy has been revised.Now you can't apply until and unless you have the marksheet of XII or of A-LEVELS.

Q-6 Do I have to qualify NUST entry test inorder to apply for TECHNICAL CADET COURSE (TCC)?

Q-9 After reccommended from ISSB and being declared fit in medical,I was not able to make the joining.Does it mean I have spoiled my one chance?

Ans No,you still have all the chances with you since you were reccommended.Had you been declared "non reccommended" then obviously you would have lost your first chance.

Q-10 What's the most difficult part in ISSB?

Ans It varies from ndividual to individual.Normally pshyco test is considered to be the most difficult and important part of ISSB.

Q-11 Do Training Institutes help?

Ans The TRAINING INSTITUTES can not change and modify your natural talent and aptitude in a week or more.They can only improve you phsically.On the other hand ISSB is mainly concerned with your natural talent and aptitude you have towards the forces.So training institute may not be helpful.Furthemore, according to ISSB rules and regulations,you are not allowed to take training in any institute.And if you do not follow the rules/instructions here,what can they hope from you in future.

Q-12 Is it true that URDU SPEAKINGS and SINDHIS are put aside during selection

Ans MISCONCEPTION: This is not like that.Let me assure you that during ISSB,everyone gets equal oppurtunity to show his/her talent and selection is done absolutely on merit.For your knowledge, during my ISSB,out of 58 candidates only six were recommended and out of six we were three urdu speakings.

Q-13 In pshyco test,how many sentences do we have to make?

Ans There are normally 100 words.Each word comes on screen for 10 seconds.So you have nine to ten seconds to make the sentence.
