They are bound to serve Pakistan Army for 13 years after their passing out from PMA as Capt Doctors. They complete their graduation from AM College and then go to PMA as GCs in Integrated Course. They upon qualifying in Basic Military Training get pass out from Pakistan Military Academy. For Female MCs, they get Basic Military Training in AFPGMI. So MCs are in fact Gentleman Cadets and get paid accordingly and are bound by same discipline as per Pakistan Army Act. They get stipend of about Rs 29800 per month and enjoy all other facilities such as free messing etc. While other categories are just cadets by name and are actually just students who complete their graduation and then may join army in future after completion of their course.

Famous quotes containing the words difference between, difference and/or categories:

    The difference between a photograph and even the most realistic painting—say, one of Courbet’s landscapes—is that in the latter there has been selection, emphasis and some discreet distortion. The painter’s deep instinctive feeling for mass and force has rearranged everything.
    Gerald Branan (1894–1987)

    “Great difference between me and white man.”
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    All cultural change reduces itself to a difference of categories. All revolutions, whether in the sciences or world history, occur merely because spirit has changed its categories in order to understand and examine what belongs to it, in order to possess and grasp itself in a truer, deeper, more intimate and unified manner.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
