What is PN Cadet Course

PN Cadet refers to Pakistan Navy Cadet. In simple terms, “CADET” refers to an applicant’s position upon joining the Pakistan Navy. Before being selected as a Pakistan Navy Cadet, young trainees undergo intellectual and physical tests. They are selected through Permanent Commissions.

Candidates selected as PN Cadets in the Pakistan Navy are retained at the Pakistan Naval Academy Islamabad. The PN Cadets remain there for one and a half (1.5) years. They are trained by senior naval officers who are highly qualified and competent in academic, mental, physical, intellectual, and professional matters.

Pakistan Navy Cadets pass out from the Pakistan Naval Academy after completing 1.5 years of training, are ranked as Midshipmen, and join the fleet. They work in different areas onboard while experiencing life at sea. After 6 months at sea, the midshipmen are commissioned as sub-lieutenants.
