What happens at this centre
The Army Selection & Recruitment Centre, Khuzdar is where your Army journey physically begins. Everything up to ISSB happens within these gates:
- Registration & document check - CNIC/B-Form, domicile and educational certificates are verified against your online registration.
- Initial test - intelligence (verbal & non-verbal) plus academic MCQs. Many centres now use computerised e-testing.
- Physical test - 1.6 km run, push-ups, chin-ups and ditch crossing, conducted the same day or the next morning.
- Medical examination - height, weight, chest, vision, ENT and general fitness screening by military doctors.
- Preliminary interview - a short personality interview before your file goes forward (officer candidates then await the ISSB call letter).
Test day tips
- Reach before the reporting time on your roll slip - latecomers are sent back at the gate.
- Carry originals plus two photocopy sets of every document.
- Bring your own clipboard, pens and a water bottle for the physical.
- Wear joggers and comfortable clothes - you may run the same day.
- Keep your fee receipt and roll number slip in your hand, not the bag.
- Sleep well the night before; the initial test rewards a fresh mind.
Serving central Balochistan's distances
Khuzdar is the centre for a province of distances - candidates come in from Kalat, Mastung, Awaran, Lasbela and the Makran coast, and some districts are a full day's drive away even when the RCD highway behaves. The strategy here is logistics: travel the day before, keep a photocopy set in a separate bag from your originals, and carry cash for a second night because mountain weather can close the passes without warning. The centre's batches are among the smallest in the country, which gives every candidate more individual attention at the medical and interview desks - a real benefit for first-generation applicants. The Balochistan quota standards apply fully, and trades open to the province each cycle are listed on the Balochistan page. Candidates continuing to officer boards receive ISSB Quetta call letters.
