Army officer (BMA long course) preparation in Khulna
To join the Bangladesh Military Academy as an officer cadet you clear the Army preliminary stage and then the ISSB. IDA prepares you for both, in Khulna and online.
Who this is for
- HSC candidates and graduates who meet the age and education rules of the BMA long course circular
- Candidates who want both the preliminary and the ISSB in one plan
- Students outside Khulna who want online practice
How the selection usually works
- Apply online through the Bangladesh Army recruitment circular
- Preliminary selection: written test, viva and initial medical (as set in the circular)
- The Inter Services Selection Board (ISSB): a board of several days with intelligence tests, psychological tests (WAT, TAT/PPDT, SRT and others), group tasks set by the GTO, and a personal interview.
- Final medical, then training at the Bangladesh Military Academy
Every year the authority publishes a circular with the exact rules, dates and subjects. Always follow the latest official circular.
