1.2. For Girls
The girls are not admitted through the Medical Cadet Course. Until 2010, the army has recruited girls through this way. The girls had to complete the 13-year bond with Pak
army from this method.
As Pakistani girls have large family responsibilities on their shoulders besides this army doctor job, so army decided to stop the enrollment of girls through this method in 2011. The girls were being paid 30000 PKR per month by army from this method of enrollment.
But girls, if you have completed your MBBS and BDS, then follow this Girls! Become Captain or Major after MBBS & BDS
