GD Pilot as a Doctor?

[neutron786]

Asalaam o alaikum folks,

I am a medical student, doing MD from an american university. I will be completing my medicine in 16 months more inshALLAH. I am 22 right now and will turn 23 this september (2012).

Eventhough I am becoming a doctor, I would like to try my luck as a GD pilot. I have gone through all the info one could find on the PAF website and other places about the eligibility criterion. I am eligible. I just want to know how does the whole selection process go about? When will this year's selections take place; how much time does it take for the whole process to complete, from the time of registration to the joining of PAF risalpur for training and that, if in the meanwhile when my application is being processed, i turn 23, would I become ineligible?

Thank you

If you are US citizen then i think you need to return that citizenship first and then you can join PAF or any other Pak force...... one of my friend did that and he is now a doc in PAF ... serving his own country

I have gone through this list before. I just want to know when will this year's selections take place; how much time does it take for the whole process to complete, from the time of registration to the joining of PAF risalpur for training and that, if in the meanwhile when my application is being processed, i turn 23, would I become ineligible?

You are not eligible im afraid for GDP , you would be able to apply for SSC commission.

Wa Alaikum Assalam.


No, you cannot apply. The reason is your age factor and your field of specialization. But you can apply as an Army Doctor, which is what I recommend.
On other hand, never disclose your personal information on any public forum, especially your name.

Best of luck with your career and studies.
FeeAman Allah.
