Sir PAF CAE ki ISSB ki tayari khaha sy ki jae
koi tips
Dear Abdullah, Issb process is the same for all. You can do self preparation or forming Preparation group with your friends. First understand the whole ISSB process and then start preparation for each task separately. I have seen a lot of candidates who didn’t join any academy and they were strongly recommended based on their abilities.
