ASSALAM O ALAIKUM Sir!
1) what are the benefits of graduate course over long course and what's the maximum rank they can gain?
2) is it necessary to have a PEC registration number for an engineer FOR DSSC or just University should be accredited from PEC?
3) after joining PMA can a candidate do engineering? Will army bear expenses?
What's the future of study and knowledge of a PMA second leituenant?

avatar

There is a 1 year training in Graduate course and you can attain higher rank as that of long course officers.
PEC no. is not necessary, but you have to submit transcript before joining PMA
No, you cannot do engineering in PMA.
