“For the past one year, I have been preparing for the entrance test. I did not even take admission in the college to purse graduation after passing out Class XII exam this year”, Abhishek Sadhotra, an aspirant from Kanhal village, said.

“Since childhood, I have been wishing to serve the country like my two cousins who are officers in the Indian Army. Life of an Army officer is full of adventures and challenges and the best thing is that one leads a disciplined life”, he further said.
