Its possible that there is an age ceiling for other ranks. By the time most jawans turn 25, they have been in service for a good 5-7 years. Usually you need 2 years of service before you can join the SSG. So 25 is a fairly decent age limit.

so the age limit "25 " only for jawans.

LOL, the matter has been forwarded to GHQ for further examination.

I reported some errors on PN (old) website to PN, but nothing was done. I then contacted the office of CNS and things moved very quickly. I would have assumed that given the resources of the individuals on this forum, a direct approach to a higher authority would have been made from the outset. That is the only way to go.

do Pakistan ssg have their own training program or they follow westerns or Russians training technique ??????
