Evolution of Cadet Colleges:- The history of boarding
colleges dates back tothe 18th century in Europe where these were first
introduced in France by Napoleonand by Bismarck in Germany. The Military and
Royal aristocracy used to send their children / wards for education as well as
preliminary training for a career in theRoyal Army. The concept of military
Cadet Colleges in British India, was introducedin 1922, with the start of
Prince of Wales Royal India Military College, to serve as feeder institution and
nursery to the Military. It was Rashtria College in India and Military College
Jhelum (Sarai Alamgir) in Pakistan. Later Field Marshal Muhammad Ayub Khan,
established Cadet College at Hasan Abdal, Kohat and Petaro. Karnal Sher Khan
Cadet College is the 22nd such institution and aspires to be one of theleading
Colleges of Pakistan and an icon in pedagogy.
History of the Hero. Cadet
College is dedicated to Captain Karnal Sher Khan Shaheed, Nishan-e-Haider (NH).
He was born on 1st January 1970. He wascommissioned in the Army on 14 October
1994. In 1999 Captain Karnal Sher Khanemerged as the symbol of mettle and
courage during the Kargil conflict on the Line of Control. He set personal
examples of bravery and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. He defended the
five strategic posts, which he established with his men at the height of 17,000
feet at Gultary, and repulsed many Indian attacks. After many abortive
attempts, the Indians on 5 July 1999 ringed the posts of Captain Karnal Sher
Khan with the help of two battalions and unleashed heavy mortar fire and
managed to capture some part of one of his posts. Despite facing all odds, he
led a counter-attack and re-captured the lost parts of his post. But during the
course, he was hit by the machine-gun fire and embraced 'SHAHADAT' at the same
post. He was awarded the highest gallantry military award Nishan-e-Haider (NH)

Cadet College Swabi:- Dream to Reality. In February 2011,
after the completion of Phase I, it was decided to have separate College
administration and make the College functional. Accordingly, the new
administration took over in April 2011 and the academic activity commenced. At
Karnal Sher Khan Cadet College Swabi cadets are taught by experienced teachers,
dedicated to teaching. Many of them are not only highly qualified but they have
had experience of teaching in various institutions as well. With a broad vision
and understanding they are motivated by the desire to impart knowledge for no
reward other than what they get for shaping the destiny of those who are given
into their charge. The small scale of the College stimulates dynamic relationship
between the cadets and members of the teaching staff; it promotes an education
that goes on both inside and outside the classroom, and fosters an atmosphere
where academic work is respected and ideas appreciated.

Karnal Sher Khan Cadet College
Swabi is not behind in sports; special attention is given to the physical growth
of the students. The early morningPT, followed by games in the afternoon enable
our cadets not only to remain physically fit but also creates in them a spirit
of sportsmanship. In victory and defeat the Sherians never lose their
self-possession. They areknown for a balanced approach to life. You can easily
tell a Sherian fromany other student.
Karnal Sher Khan Cadet College
Swabi aims at teaching its cadets how to think, how to analyze and synthesis.
Out of such intellectual and moral growth comes the kind of self-confidence,
self reliance and sense of responsibility which one must have to become a good
citizen.
