Quick answer:<\/strong> The monthly fee at a cadet college in Pakistan ranges from about Rs 5,000<\/strong> (army soldiers’ sons at Military College Sui) to more than Rs 1.2 lakh<\/strong> (Cadet College Hasan Abdal). For a civilian family, most well-known cadet colleges cost between Rs 30,000 and Rs 45,000 a month<\/strong>, plus one-time joining charges of Rs 25,000 to Rs 1.95 lakh. The cheapest option for civilians is Military College Sui at Rs 16,500 a month. The most expensive is Cadet College Hasan Abdal.<\/p>\n

Every year in admission season, the same thing happens. A parent gets the test date for one college, then hears about three others, and spends a week jumping between websites, PDFs and WhatsApp forwards trying to work out what each one actually costs. Half of those numbers are years old. Some are monthly, some quarterly, some per term, so you can’t even compare them properly.<\/p>\n

So we did the boring part for you. Below, every college’s fee is converted to an approximate monthly figure for a civilian student, with the year of the schedule clearly marked. Click through to each college’s page for the full breakdown.<\/p>\n

Monthly figures are worked out from the quarterly or term totals each college publishes, so they are close approximations, not official monthly rates. Most colleges raise fees by 8 to 10 percent a year, so add that if a schedule is more than a year old.<\/em><\/p>\n

Why the same college can cost three different amounts<\/h2>\n

Military colleges run by the army (Jhelum, Murree, Sui) charge by parent category. A serving officer, a retired soldier and a civilian pay very different fees for exactly the same seat. At Military College Jhelum, for example, it’s Rs 18,000 a month for officers’ sons, Rs 8,000 for JCOs and soldiers, and Rs 33,000 for civilians. At Military College Sui it’s Rs 9,800, Rs 5,500 and Rs 16,500.<\/p>\n

Cadet colleges run by boards of governors or provincial governments (Okara, Fateh Jang, Hasan Abdal, Tarbela) mostly charge everyone the same and then offer scholarships or concessions on top. Garrison Cadet College Kohat sits in between: one fee schedule, but defence families can get 30 to 60 percent off tuition.<\/p>\n

So before you rule a college out on cost, check which category your family falls into. It can halve the bill.<\/p>\n

Cheapest cadet colleges in Pakistan for civilians<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Military College Sui:<\/strong> Rs 16,500 a month. Hard to beat, but it’s in Dera Bugti, so travel adds up if you live in Punjab or Sindh.<\/li>\n
  2. WAPDA Cadet College Tarbela:<\/strong> around Rs 31,400 a month for Class 8 to 10, but the joining cost is heavy at Rs 145,000 because kit money is charged upfront. WAPDA employees’ children get a monthly scholarship of Rs 4,000 to 5,000.<\/li>\n
  3. Military College Jhelum:<\/strong> Rs 33,000 a month for civilians, much less for army families.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If budget is the main concern, these three are where to start.<\/p>\n

    Most expensive cadet colleges<\/h2>\n
