Never put your child in a Boardng school. You cannot then teach him the values of life as a father.

my sincere suggestions is not to put in boarding...

Khna replied on Monday, December 26, 2011 07:06 PM 

It is not simply your choice. Let your child sit in the entry tests for all the available choices. After he is selected in more than one you can have options. I think you have made a very good decision to put your son in Cadet College. I wish him well. You would not regret your decision. This is the opinion of a father who sent his son to Cadet College and I have many friend who did likewise.None of them ever regretted their decision. Although Hasan Abdal is considered best or you may say better, but your choice would depend your own logistics and family support. He will have to vacate college hostel on long weekends. During those days or other occasions he must have some one in Pakistan to visit or live with his grand parents or uncle, on whom you can rely. That would also be an emergency contact, should such need arise.
People who are talking against it, unfortunately, have absolutely no idea about it.
If you need some more information, leave your contact here, I would be pleased to answer your questions.

Khna sahib,

At what age a child can be admitted for boarding school and how we can get them prepare for entry test? what is normal monthly fee and the benefits a child can get in a boarding?
I would really appreciate if you can answer.
Many Thanks

Went to Army Burn Hall College, Abbottabad myself and would love to refer anybody to the same school.Great institution and most of the students become great community members representing Pakistan and Pakistanies well throughout teh world.

If you love your son don't send to a boarding school. Offcourse it's your choice but it's only my humble suggestion.

Dear Friend! Sending your son to a boarding school will not guaruntee that he will become a geniuos. You will not know even your own child if you send him away at a very early age. However, it will be a good idea to send him to a boarding school if you plan to marry another woman who might ruin his life.

Khan replied on Tuesday, December 27, 2011 12:55 PM 

If my memory helps me right,We have1. Cadet College Hasan Abdal, Cadet College Petaro, Cadet College Pakistan Steel, Karachi,Cadet College Patrassi, Cadet College Kohat. Just write a letter to them and you get all the information. Yes Burns Hall Abottabad is also a good School. So is Army College, Jehlum. Those are all for civilians and really a character building institutions.

I am sorry many of the writers on this forum are just writing without any experience or knowledge of the subject.

@Khna,
Yes i am aware this much that my son has to undergo a tough written test in order to qualify, but my intention in asking the question was to know about today's best rating. CCHA used to be the best in the past but as of today i get mixed opinion from some corners about this college. They say since its a punjab govt institution so the selection crieteria is no more just the merit but there have been around 30 candidates who got admission last year through back doors.Also its first time in college history that a civilian has been appointed as principal whereas in the past it always used to be from the services.Thirdly the building has gone too old and there are hardly any fundings for the college from the govt or any other corner.It would be great if someone whose sons are relative are recently studying there could say something about it. It is said that most of the new cadet colleges who have emerged recently are far better in many aspects than CCHA, like one at Kallar Kahar and Petrasi who have overseas quota too.
If you live in riyadh, just send me your contact number through email.thanks
@khan,
Thanks for making it more easier to pick one as you have listed the best colleges of pakistan.
I have a different opinion about colleges like burn hall and aitcheson college, as they are purely meant for a just a particular class of our society. Therefore people like us who come from a middle class should avoid putting their son in such colleges as it can have adverse impact on his personality, he would always tend to feel himself as inferior.
Though i don't side myself with those who oppose the idea of putting your son in boarding but have full respect for the opinion they hold.

Khan replied on Wednesday, December 28, 2011 10:20 AM 

Khan and Khna are same. It was a misprint. I am not in Riyadh. If you like you can post your email/phone and I sure will contact you. All you said is correct. My view would be that any Cadet College would be alright.Education is just a part of overall personality development. I would be fine with any Cadet College as long as my ward gets admitted.I would be more concerned about the logistics, travelling to from college to some relative or guardian in Pakistan during breaks.

@Khan,
probably you did'nt notice my email at the top,cheers.i put it here again

To me hasanabdal seems best,their mission remains the same train medical core and Engineering core cadets they are truly carrying on catchpoles and Sqdldr Nabegs mission.The building,atmosphere,faculty best on the planet.
Plz dont comment against Professor Muhammed Asif Malik,the cahp was trained by sqdldr Nabeg and is here from 2may 1968.
Hasanabdal is still under GSO2 umbrella it feeds kakul and risalpur.
I think Sir your mistaken till date i havent seen a backdoor entry at this college,the collge apart from entry test takes aptitude test before the interview pass that then ye can enter.College truly prepares young boys to tackle with the future.Yes Petaro is much better option than Kohat at least your chap would get to join the navy.Petaro has another scheme naval bond cadets no fee only building fund contact your nearest Navy recruitment centers they'll give you the form.
