Army Short Service Commission (Engineering Corps.\Signal\EME)

i have a few queries related to ad of SSC this year..
1) in eligibility section, under qualifications they have written that for EME you've got to have a BE in Electrical (Less Power Engg)...what does less power engg mean? is a EE degree with specialisation in power engg not required?
2) can i apply with a BS (Electrical Engineering) degree? i dont have a BE
3) do they ask technical/field related questions during ISSB or is it in the interview conducted after recommendation?
4) what is the batch intake size? (any rough estimate?)
i'd name my firstborn after the person who answers all these questions
thanks for reading\answering\commenting

-Yes i guess one with the EE Specialization in Power can't apply. Any other specialization will do.
-What do you mean BS in EE? it's always BE EE. Basically you need to have 4 years of EE at University.
-ISSB is 95% non-technical stuff. Interviewer may ask you just a couple of questions about your academics.
-Again the following interview at GHQ is conducted in similar fashion, with little more concentration on your academics.
-Rough Guess 25-50

Just try it mate! Click on register. BS won't be a problem.

@Side-Winder yr i've also applied in Engineering corps (Civil engg) test will be in the end of june.
I just wanted to ask what type of initial test will be conducted as i've given earlier in long service comission test in which subjects were intelligence, maths, physics and english.

PDF advertisement document says, it will contain intelligence + degree level questions.
Don't worry! Won't be much of trouble. Initials are always easy.

I applied for both airforce and navy and their initial test went well, navy one was easy but rejected in initial medical due to eye sight problem.

Btw i have BS electronics, so can i apply for this job ?

Not sure since Corps of signals require telecom and software engg and you guys (electronics engineer) study both in your semesters just like we civil engineers study some main subjects of mechanical engineering.
May be you can apply.But there is plenty of branches in Navy and airforce like weapon engineering branch and ordnance branch for electrical/electronics engineers in pakistan navy.

yea we have studied communication courses.
But the problem is job availability,

EE is electrical engineering.

In final year or last two semesters, bachelor students of EE can choose any 3 of following:
1. electronics
2. telecom
3. Power

if u did EE, which was ur major in?

2) can i apply with a BS (Electrical Engineering) degree? i dont have a BE

B.E means bachelor of Engineering.
B.S stands for?

3) do they ask technical/field related questions during ISSB or is it in the interview conducted after recommendation?

NOT during ISSB.

4) what is the batch intake size? (any rough estimate?)

Roughly...
30
