Girls Cadet College FAQs
How many girls cadet colleges are there in Pakistan?
This guide profiles nine girls-only cadet colleges: Bakhtawar (Nawabshah), Shaheed Benazir Bhutto (Larkana), Mardan, Dera Ismail Khan, Quetta, Turbat, Kaharian (Kallar Kahar), Fatima (Murree) and Kashmir Girls Cadet College (Muzaffarabad). Pakistan's first was Bakhtawar, established in 2010.
Which was Pakistan's first girls cadet college?
Bakhtawar Cadet College for Girls in Shaheed Benazirabad (Nawabshah), Sindh, established in 2010. Turbat's Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Girls Cadet College (2018) was the first in Balochistan, and Mardan (2017) was Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's first government girls' cadet college.
Which class do girls cadet colleges admit?
Class VIII is the common entry gate — Bakhtawar, Quetta, Turbat, Mardan, Dera Ismail Khan and Larkana all advertise it. Kaharian also admits Class IX, Fatima admits Class 8, Class 9 and First Year, and Kashmir Girls Cadet College advertises Class 6 through Class 9 plus First Year.
What subjects are on the girls cadet college entry test?
Only some colleges publish the paper. Dera Ismail Khan publishes English, Mathematics, Science, Urdu and Islamiat, with at least 40% in each subject and 50% aggregate to reach interview. Bakhtawar's prospectus names English, Elementary Science, Islamiat, General Knowledge, Mathematics and Sindhi or Urdu. Kaharian tests English, Mathematics, Urdu and Islamiat from the Punjab Textbook Board Class V–VII syllabus. The rest publish no pattern, and their year's advertisement is the authority.
Is there a government girls cadet college in Punjab?
No provincial-government girls' cadet college exists in Punjab. The Punjab options profiled here — Kaharian at Kallar Kahar and Fatima at Murree — are not provincial-government colleges. The state-run girls' cadet colleges are in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Mardan, Dera Ismail Khan), Balochistan (Quetta, Turbat) and Sindh (Bakhtawar, Larkana).
Do girls cadet colleges publish past papers?
None of the nine publishes an official past-paper archive as of November 2026. Four publish official preparation material instead: Bakhtawar a Class VIII syllabus and prospectus, Dera Ismail Khan its subject list and pass rule, Kaharian its subject set, and Fatima its per-class syllabus files. Each college card links its own past-papers page, which states exactly what is official and what is not.
Also considering a girls' boarding house at a co-ed school? Sadiq Public School, Bahawalpur publishes its entrance-test subjects and its girls' boarding house separately — read the Sadiq guide.
Every fact on this page was checked against the colleges' own pages on 3 November 2026. The official sites of Quetta, Turbat and Larkana could not be read during that pass, so their cards carry no pattern and no date they did not publish; those pages say so explicitly.
