PMA Long Course 159 Registration Open - Apply Online by 23 October 2026

About this entry

PMA Long Course 159 Registration Open - Apply Online by 23 October 2026 - this announcement was reported on 17 September 2026 by Admin (manual). Applications are invited until 23 October 2026, so candidates should complete their forms well before the closing date instead of waiting for the last day. Every date and term is governed by the original advertisement published by the department.

The advertisement covers multiple posts open for candidates across Pakistan under the Pakistan Army recruitment process. Pakistan Army recruitment runs through Army Selection & Recruitment Centres: candidates clear an initial written test, physical assessment and medical examination, and officer entries proceed to ISSB for the final four-day evaluation before merit selection.

Eligibility for each post depends on the qualification, age band and domicile mentioned against it in the advertisement. Quota seats (open merit, provincial, women, minority, disabled) are allocated as printed in the official announcement, and age is calculated on the closing date with the department's own relaxation rules.

To apply, candidates should visit joinpakarmy.gov.pk and follow the advertisement instructions exactly: complete the online form or prescribed application, deposit the challan / fee within the announced window, and keep the paid receipt for later stages. The direct portal is https://www.joinpakarmy.gov.pk/. Roll-number slips or test intimations are issued closer to the test date, and applications received after the cut-off are rejected without review in any category.
