Quick answer:<\/strong> The Lady Cadet Course (LCC)<\/strong> lets women with a 4-year professional degree join the Pakistan Army and be commissioned as Captain<\/strong> after about six months of training at PMA Kakul. The last course, LCC-28<\/strong>, took registrations from 22 December 2025 to 20 January 2026<\/strong>. The next one (expected to be LCC-29<\/strong>) has not been announced yet, but the winter intake has opened in the second half of December two years running (LCC-26 on 16 December 2024, LCC-28 on 22 December 2025). If you have a relevant degree, get ready now<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We hear from a lot of female engineers and IT graduates who didn’t even know this entry existed until the registration window had closed. It runs for only about four weeks, the list of eligible degrees changes every time, and preliminary tests start soon after. This guide puts everything in one place so you’re ready the day it opens.<\/p>\n

Eligible degrees: they change every course<\/h2>\n

The Army only opens LCC for the corps that need officers in that cycle, so the list of degrees is different each time. Here is what the last three courses asked for. If your degree appears more than once, you have a good chance it comes back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
