Doha: The Unified Standing Committee for the Selection of Candidates for Military Officers announced the opening of the online registration for high school students for 2021-2022 starts Tuesday.
In a press conference held yesterday, the committee clarified that the submission of applications on the committee’s website continues until March 31, according to the announced terms and conditions to compete and have the opportunity to join one of the military authorities in the country.
Head of the Unified Standing Committee for the Selection of Candidates for Military Officers Brigadier General Nasser Abdul Rahman Al Jaber said that the submission this year will be for high school graduates for the current year only 2021-2022 (those currently in study) via the committee’s website, provided that the student’s age at registration is not more than 21-year-old for male students and 22-year-old for female students. He pointed out that unifying the process of registering candidates is a step aimed at facilitating procedures, reducing the burden on applicants, and gathering them under one umbrella, comprising five military authorities (the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Interior, the State Security Agency, the Lekhwiya Force, and the Amiri Guard), where the committee was formed from qualified and experienced representatives of these bodies.
He pointed out that the committee aims to select the most appropriate applicants to join the military authorities according to the needs of each party in accordance with the conditions and criteria that were published via the committee’s website while ensuring equal opportunities, achieving justice, and selecting the appropriate candidates that meet the conditions and standards.
Brigadier General Nasser Abdul Rahman Al Jaber stressed that the committee spares no effort to select the best outputs from students wishing to join the various military authorities in the country, noting that this year the committee’s conditions have been amended so that registration is limited to graduates of the current year from public and private schools. He explained that applications for graduates of last year will not be considered to give the current year’s graduates the opportunity to compete for vacant seats.
Lieutenant-Colonel Dr. Jabr Hammoud Jabr Al Nuaimi, a member of the Ministry of the Interior and rapporteur of the Unified Standing Committee for the Selection of Candidates for Military Officers, underlined that the accumulated experiences over the previous years and the extended experience of the committee members give great ability to excel at work and to reach appropriate outputs for the selection process for each military authority according to its requirements. He noted that the committee provides equal opportunities for student applicants by following accurate and transparent criteria in the selection process.
