PMA Long Course vs Fast Track Graduate Course

[Saifullah]

What is difference between the two other then one being after FSC and other Graduation ?
1- Is there any difference in promotion speed ?
2- Difference in prestige ?
3- after training rank of both ?

Just to clear things i am talking about FAST TRACK REGULAR COMMISSION IN PAKISTAN ARMY THROUGH GRADUATE COURSE IN ONE YEAR.

i've wondered about that myself.....i think in graduate course you dont have to study for the academy's degree you just focus on training whereas in L\C you study as well as train......apart from that i think they are similar in other regards

Not exactly, though as a Graduate, you join directly as captain.

2- Difference in prestige ?

There's no difference in prestige, though initially obviously it will take you some time to adjust to the military settings during which time you might draw some flak but as you learn the ropes, you'll settle in as part of the unit.

3- after training rank of both ?

Longies join as 2nd Lts.
Integrated join as Capts.

I heard that personnels who are recruited by graduate course have slower promotion and also they are not seen as equivalent to same ranking LC personnel or at least given some priority.
