AOA sir I always wanted to join PAF or Pak Army. But unfortunately, I scored below %50 marks in F.Sc and unable to improve now so my question is is there any chance I can join forces as a commissioned officer after my 14 years of education? There is a clause that "No Grade D throughout academic career " for PMA but does it also apply for PAF Commission Courses too?

Please ease my pain I am really confused. Thanks <3

Thanks a lot for the amazing response! yes I have thought of joining PN but that's my last option. I have a question for you as you mentioned I can apply in DSSC in Pak Army does it mean the "No Grade D through academic career " clause does not apply here for my F.Sc? Also, does this clause also apply to PAF Courses?

I really appreciate your detailed reply. I wish I could leave you feedback <3

DSSC requires "No 3rd Division through the academic career i.e Matric to MA/MSc/BS."
I don`t think it applies to PAF courses otherwise they would have mentioned it in the advertisement. Actually, every arm( army, navy and air force) and its different courses have its own eligibility criteria. Just go through the requirements of a post and if it doesn`t mention anything as "No Grade D through academic career" then you need not to worry.
Whatever you choose to do, just be mindful of the age limits. Some courses like Operations Branch (Aviation, Submarine SSG(N) & Marine) in Pakistan Navy that you are eligible for, can go out of hand if you get overage.
