What is the Hope certificate and its application method?

Hope certificate application

Pakistan Army, Navy, and Airforce Allow 2nd-year students based on hope certificate who have cleared their first-year exam with 65% marks or above to apply for commissioning in Long courses. Although it is a good opportunity for the students to appear in armed forces commissioning, However, it is not Good for All.

Note: Hope certificate is raised for intermediate students when their FSc degree is incomplete and they have cleared the first part with at least 65% marks. For short service commission, you must have completed the degree requirements.

Application for Hope Certificate

If you are planning to apply based on a hope certificate, You might write an application to the Headmaster/ principal of your concerned institution. Many times, they will not demand and they will give you through a verbal request. However, if they demand an application, the following is the format. Many students do not know, how to write an application for a hope certificate, Here is a sample.

To,
Head/Principal of ABC College,
District Xyz

Sir,

Subject: Application for Hope Certificate to Apply in Pakistan army/PAF/Navy commissioning

I write to state that I am a student of your College and currently studying in Class (Pre-Engg/Medical, etc). I have passed my first-year examination with ___ % marks and I want to apply to the Pakistan Army commissioning (E.g PMA long course). Hope certificate is an essential requirement to apply in the army for 1st-year students, Who have cleared their 1st-year exam with 65% marks.
Therefore, I may please be issued with a hope certificate, That I can clear my FA/FSc exam with 65% marks based on my performance. I will be thankful for this kind act and obliged.

Your obedtient,
KulKula Khan

You can also write the application in Urdu, there are no strict rules to obey.

Note

I will strictly not recommend applying based on the Hope certificate If you are not fully prepared. Fully prepared means you have started preparing for the commissioning from the matric level.

Why I Don’t recommend applying based on the hope certificate?

• They haven’t read the full Syllabus of FA/ FSc, thus minimizing the chances of passing the Initials.
• Not fully prepared then will waste one precious chance.
2nd year Study will be affected negatively.
Many students apply based on a hope certificate and then fail their Initials.

Also, read: Should I seek help from Non-recommended Candidates? If not, then why?

Who should apply based on the hope certificate?

  • Cadet college students: They are well prepared for the Tests.
  • Those who are not prepared do not apply on the basis of Passion #Shoq.

Remember, I am only talking about the students who have passed only the first year. If you have taken the exam for 2nd year and you are an awaiting student, Then this post is not for you. You should apply, When, you get your result card or If the result is late, you can apply for a Hope certificate from your college through an application on plain paper.

    1. Dear Uneeb, You can not apply with 40% matks on the basis of Hope certificate. For Hope certificate, You need 65% Marks in FSc Part 1. Apart from this, 40% average is too low, You need to improve your grades in FSc second part by reaching 60% in Whole FSc degree. Less than 60% are not eligible in All three armed forces except lower scale jobs.

        Or percentage bhi required sai zaida ho or issb bhi recommend ho.
        Es cheez ka koi masla tou nahi banay ga.
        Please guide sir am in tension about this because mera math ka paper acha nahi hoa 2nd year ka es liye mujhay es cheez ki pareshani hai.
