Test Pattern & Focus Areas
Kohat Cadet College entry test — sections and what they drill.
The 200-mark, three-hour, four-section shape follows the published Kohat entry-test pattern the site already serves; the college's own admission notice for the year sets the exact sections, marks and medium (including whether Urdu and Islamic Studies appear in the paper). Confirm there.
Good to know
Kohat is the key KPK gateway to the cadet-college system; its written paper covers Maths, English, General Science and General Knowledge (with Urdu where the college sets it and Islamic Studies questions per the published KPK shape), and the college runs exam centres in cities across Pakistan rather than only on campus.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Kohat entry test cover?
Four sections: Mathematics; English; General Science; and General Knowledge with Urdu (and Islamic Studies questions where the college sets them in the paper). The section set follows the published KPK-region cadet-entry pattern the site already serves; the college's own notice for the year sets the exact paper, marks and medium — confirm there.
Which class does Kohat admit at?
Class 8 is the main gate; Kohat also runs a lateral entry into Class 11 when advertised. The college's own notice each year lists the classes actually open — confirm there before preparing for a specific gate.
What is the age limit for Kohat?
The widely published age rule for Kohat is 12–14 years on 1 April of the admission year, with Hafiz-e-Quran candidates getting six months' upper-age relaxation. Age is checked strictly, so verify your date of birth against the cutoff on the college's own admission notice before applying.
When should we apply for the 2027 session?
Registration windows for the 2027 session open from autumn 2026; Kohat has historically closed registration around mid-January with the test in early February (last cycle). Every year-specific date is set by the college's own admission notice for 2027 — confirm on the college's site rather than on any other site.
What happens after the written test?
Shortlisted boys go through an interview and a medical and physical evaluation — vision, hearing, fitness and age verification. Final offers follow the combined merit of the written test and the later stages; confirm the exact sequence on the college's own notice.
How should I prepare for the Kohat entry test?
The four sections share the national pattern, so one preparation covers Kohat and the other colleges. Take the free diagnostic to find your level, drill daily, and sit the Class-8 model paper (free PDF on this site) under exam timing every few weeks — the topics you miss become your practice list.

The age rule above (12–14 on 1 April, Hafiz +6 months) and the multi-city exam-centre pattern reflect Kohat Cadet College's long-published admissions profile; every year-specific date — application close, test date, fee — is set by the college's own admission notice for 2027 and is confirmed on the college's site (admissions.cck.edu.pk and the college's notice board). The practice on this site follows the published subject and section shape, not any unpublished question paper.
