Navy officer (BNA) preparation in Khulna
Officer cadets of the Bangladesh Navy train at the Bangladesh Naval Academy. The road there runs through the Navy preliminary stage and the ISSB, and IDA prepares you for each step.
Who this is for
- Candidates applying for a Bangladesh Navy officer cadet batch
- Science and general candidates who meet the circular's rules
- Students outside Khulna who want online practice
How the selection usually works
- Apply online through the Bangladesh Navy recruitment circular
- Preliminary stage: 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 Naval Academy
Every year the authority publishes a circular with the exact rules, dates and subjects. Always follow the latest official circular.
