Cadet College Admission 2027 in Pakistan: Last Dates for Okara, Hasan Abdal, Sanghar, Jhelum, Murree
Cadet college admission 2027: Okara closes 2 November, test 14 November; Hasan Abdal 4 December; Sanghar test 31 January. Fees, ages and steps for 5 colleges.
Cadet college admission 2027 in Pakistan is open at several colleges now, and the earliest deadline we found is Cadet College Okara on Monday 2 November 2026, with its entry test on 14 November. Cadet College Hasan Abdal closes on 4 December and tests on 27 December, and Cadet College Sanghar tests on 31 January 2027.
Every college runs its own form, fee, age rule and test. This page lists what each college's own website said when we read it on 25 October 2026, so you can see which deadline is coming first. Where a college had not published a date, we say so instead of guessing.
Five cadet colleges and their 2027 deadlines, checked at source
Okara's applications close first, on 2 November 2026. Hasan Abdal follows on 4 December. Sanghar has fixed its test for 31 January 2027. Jhelum and Murree are taking applications but had not posted a closing date when we checked.
| College | Class | Last date | Entry test | Registration fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cadet College Okara (Punjab) | Pre-9th and IGCSE O-Level | 2 November 2026 | 14 November 2026 | Rs 3,550 |
| Cadet College Hasan Abdal (Punjab) | Class 8, O-Level | 4 December 2026 | 27 December 2026 | Rs 7,000 plus Rs 58 |

| Military College Murree (Punjab) | Class 8 | Not published | Not published | On the challan |
Fees are registration or application fees only. Monthly tuition and boarding cost far more, and each college publishes those separately.
Cadet College Okara closes on 2 November and tests on 14 November
Cadet College Okara's 2027 advertisement gives the last date as Monday 2 November 2026 and the entrance test as Saturday 14 November 2026. Boys aged 12 to 14 by 1 April 2027 who have passed Class 7 or Pre-O-Level can apply online.
The registration fee is Rs 3,550 and is not refundable. You need a scanned photo and the NADRA B-Form. Okara accepts only online applications at cco.edu.pk.
The test covers Mathematics, English, Islamic Studies, Urdu and General Science. Centres are Okara, Lahore, Faisalabad, Sialkot, Multan, Bahawalpur, Rawalpindi, Karachi and Quetta. A three-month age relaxation is possible under the rules, and six months in the upper limit for a Hafiz-e-Quran.
Hasan Abdal and Sanghar give families more time
Cadet College Hasan Abdal takes Class 8 applications until 4 December 2026 and tests on 27 December. Cadet College Sanghar posted on 25 October 2026 that its entrance test for Classes 8 and 9 is on Sunday 31 January 2027.
Hasan Abdal asks for an age of 12 to 14 on 1 August of the entry year, with no relaxation, and a fee of Rs 7,000 plus Rs 58 bank charges. The full rules, centres and fee schedule are in the Cadet College Hasan Abdal admission 2027 details.
Sanghar's own policy page says candidates must be 12 to 14 and a half on 31 March of the admission year, and must have passed Class 7. Most seats are by Sindh division, with 5 per cent for Balochistan, 5 per cent for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab, and 1 per cent for AJK. The Cadet College Sanghar entry test on 31 January has the subjects and centres.
Jhelum and Murree take applications online but give no closing date yet
Cadet College Jhelum lists Admissions 2027 for Classes 7 and 8 on open merit, with a Rs 3,000 registration fee. Military College Murree runs online applications for Class 8. Neither had posted a last date or test date on 25 October 2026.
Jhelum's portal asks for a recent photo on a blue background, the B-Form or birth certificate, and proof of the Rs 3,000 payment to its MCB account or a bank draft in the college's name. Selection is by intelligence test, written exam, interview and medical. Jhelum also sells its prospectus for a Rs 3,000 bank draft by post.
Murree's process is account first. Check age, register with an email, verify it, fill the form, pay the challan at a bank, then download the roll number slip from your account. The college says it will not post roll number slips.
Apply to any cadet college in the same five steps
Every college here takes online forms, asks for the B-Form, charges a non-refundable registration fee and sends roll number slips through its portal. Prepare the documents once and you can apply to two or three colleges in an evening.
- Get your son's NADRA B-Form and a recent passport-size photo scanned.
- Check his age against each college's cut-off date, which differ: 1 April, 1 August or 31 March.
- Apply on the college's own website only, and pay the fee through the bank or challan it gives.
- Note the test date and centre, and download the syllabus or model papers.
- Download the roll number slip from the portal when it appears.
The three age dates are the trap. A boy who fits Okara's 1 April rule might miss Hasan Abdal's 1 August rule by a month. Work each one out from the B-Form. If the B-Form is still pending, getting a NADRA B-Form for a child should come before any application.
Watch for fake forms and agents asking for money
Apply only on each college's own website. Cadet colleges do not sell seats, and none of the five colleges here asks you to pay an agent. A message promising a "guaranteed seat" for a fee is a scam, whatever logo it carries.
Pay the registration fee only through the bank, challan or account the college names on its own page. Keep the receipt. Parents who want a non-military boarding school in Punjab often also look at Daanish School admission, which has its own schedule.
