The Inter-Services Selection Board (colloquially known as ISSB) (Urdu: بین الخدماتی مجلسِ انتخاب) is a committee for the selection of commissioned officers in the Pakistan Armed Forces: the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force.

Procedure[edit]

The selection through board is made on the basis of five days of psychological screening to test the ability, aptitude and personality of a candidate.The tests are held in any one of the four centers, namely Kohat, Gujranwala, Quetta and Malir.[3]

Candidates have to go through a thorough procedure of five days. They are tested by the psychologist, Group Testing Officer (GTO) and the Deputy president.[4]

Candidates who pass the selection procedure qualify, provided that they pass a physical test, medical test and general knowledge test[5] to undergo officer training at military academies, primarily the Pakistan Military AcademyinKakul,[6] the Pakistan Naval AcademyinManora[7] the Pakistan Air Force AcademyinRisalpur[8] and the SPD's Center of Excellence for Nuclear Security in Chakri.

Coaching[edit]

Coaching for the tests is not officially allowed but nevertheless many academies do exist for this purpose, often run by retired military and board officers.[9]

Trivia[edit]

The first Sikh passed the board's selection procedure in 2005,[10] the first Hindu in 2006[11] and the first women also in 2006.[12]
