Important College Rules

General

Discipline is one of the most important ingredients for success in life.  Life must be regulated according to the laid down principles, rules and regulations. On joining Pothohar Cadet College Chakwal, the cadets are raw and in their formative years. They need constant guidance, motivation and persuasion for willing adherence. It must be understood that the best method of inculcating “self-discipline” is through “Personal Example” by all members of the Faculty/staff. Hence, teachers are expected to present themselves as “Role Models”. Following guide lines are laid down to create / maintain environment of good discipline in the College:-

  1. The College Code of Conduct should be upheld.

  5. Everyone should try to create an atmosphere in the College which is congenial for learning and creative activities.
