    1. Whenever a candidate get registered themselves through online portal, The status will be pending for few days. After some time, The Test date will be scheduled for the candidate and you have to appear on that date for the Test.

  1. As intial test is passed and required documents are submitted , then after how much time, candidate is called for interview???

    1. Dear Anam Batool, It depends on Selection centres on The applied courses. If you are talking about Lady cadet course, Then there is no initial Interview for them. If you are talking about the other forces, then The time Gap between Initial medical and Interview is small, i.e. One to two Weeks.
