PMA Initial Interview – Tips for Success

Many candidates are curious about the PMA initial interview that takes place for selection in the PMA. Following are some key tips that should be kept in mind in order to successfully clear the PMA initial interview:

1. You should have adequate knowledge about Current Affairs and geopolitical matters as well as Pakistan Studies

The PMA initial interview shall have questions related to current affairs and geopolitical matters regarding Pakistan and the region. You should read newspapers etc. to keep yourself up to date on such matters and have adequate knowledge about it.

One important thing to keep in mind is that when you do not know the answer to a question, it is suggested to admit that you do not know. This gives a better impression than answering incorrectly.

Knowledge of Pakistan affairs etc is something that all aspirants for PMA should be equipped with, whether they want to prepare for the PMA Technical Cadet Course or they want to prepare for the PMA Long Course.

2. Confidence & impressive body language is key at PMA Initial Interview

One of the key things that the interviewing officers look for in a candidate is their confidence and appearance. If a candidate is self-confident, has a positive outlook, his/her facial expressions and body language do not display nervousness, then they are sure to impress the interviewer.

In order to improve confidence, you may practice speaking in front of a mirror, or get someone to help you practice speaking with them. As far as body language is concerned, make sure that you shake hands with a firm handshake as it shows confidence. When you sit, make sure to sit upright and do not carry out any movements that display nervousness, such as shaking your legs.

3. Want to make an impression at the PMA Initial Interview? Make sure your appearance is neat

Anyone who is even slightly familiar with the Pakistan Army knows how much importance is given to a neat physical appearance by the institution, as it reflects a disciplined personality. So, when going for the PMA initial interview, you should make sure of some things.

• First, your dressing should be appropriate. Although wearing a decent suit is ideal, but if you don’t have a suit any appropriate dressing, such as a dress pant and shirt would suffice. The key thing is not what you’re wearing, but how neat it is. It should be ironed and clean.
• Secondly, your hair and facial hair should be neat and tidy. Get a haircut and trim your facial hair in order to achieve a tidy appearance.
• Thirdly, your nails should be trimmed as well.

4. Be relaxed but not casual

This will make sure that you leave a positive impression on the interviewer during your PMA initial interview.
