History edit

Cadet College Fateh Jang was founded by Mushtaq Ahmed Sipra, an educationist who also established Bahria Foundation Schools as the founding manager.[5] The college was conceived in 2000 and began its operations in 2001.[5]

Over the years, many notable personalities have attended the college ceremonies, including Abdul Qayyum,[6] Muhammad Shawez Khan,[7] and Samar Mubarakmand.[8][9]

Campus edit

The campus has a two-story administrative block, an academic block, six boarding wings (Ayubi House, Ghazali House, Roomi House, Jinnah House, Sir Syed House, and Nishter House), an auditorium, a cadet mess, and an indoor sports complex. The academic block is equipped with whiteboards, projectors, and other audiovisual aids to facilitate learning. Additional facilities include a computer lab, library, science laboratories, and a mosque. The campus also has numerous playgrounds, a stadium with a 2000-person capacity, and a swimming pool for recreational activities.[10][11][12]

Auditorium edit

The auditorium, with a capacity for approximately 1,000 attendees, serves as a multi-purpose venue for college students.[13] Featuring a large stage, it hosts stage dramas, social events, talent showcases, co-curricular activities, and competitions.[13][14] Additionally, the auditorium provides a platform for speeches by guests and commemorates significant ceremonial, national, and religious occasions.[13]

The college is also recognized for its role in hosting the All Pakistan Debate Competition, held at its auditorium.[15]

Hostels edit

The college initially housed 40-50 cadets across two hostels, known as Ayubi and Romi houses.[16] These hostels, referred to as houses, symbolically represented cadets through distinct colors.[16] Subsequently, Ghazali, Jinnah, Nishtar, and Sir Syed houses were established in 2003, 2008, 2010, and 2014, respectively.[16] Each room in these hostels accommodates eight cadets.[16]

Upon admission, cadets, based on academic performance, can become eligible for various financial awards.[22] Full tuition fee concessions are granted to students who achieve the top three positions in board examinations.[22] Additional scholarships include the Class Distinction Scholarship and the Late Mushtaq Ahmed Sipra Memorial Merit.[22] The Chairman Discretionary Fund provides scholarships for those scoring over 90 percent in board examinations, and additional concessions are extended to children of Pakistan Air Force personnel.[22]
