Asslamualikum sir,
I hope you are doing great.
I would like to confirm if an individual can apply for this course after matric, which in my case is O'levels.
My question is weather an additional course is done to the 4 years of bachelor's for covering up the missing intermediate period or one can simply apply for BSc straightaway?
Also please englighten me with the fact that a women with a veil(niqab) will not have any issues when joining pak army?
Thanks in advance
You must have 12 year education for applying in nursing.
Hijab is allowed for doctors, but niqab is not. Same will be for the nurses.
The advertisements says that there will be 4 year training, this also means that they will also give you degree for this. The Lieutenant rank is also awarded.
Only boys can join after matric as soldier.
