During the World War-II the school was labeled as College. One hundred more boys (then called cadets) were admitted under the expansion scheme. The conditions of admission were eased to accommodate the near relatives of Army Personnel and admission was made open to all branches of Armed Forces. The college was affiliated to the Punjab University for Matriculation and Intermediate examinations. This Institution produced a large number of Officers.
