Students appear in a nationwide competitive examination for the merit-based selection, including those from overseas, which appear in an online exam.
Established in 1952, Cadet College Hasanabdal was the first quasi-military boarding institution of its kind in the country, organized in the British tradition. The purpose was to establish a military feeding institution for the Services Academies. Consequently, military wings were started in 1952 at Government College Sahiwal (then known as Government College Montgomery) and Islamia College Peshawar. For the present structure, the land that used to be the firing range was provided by the Pakistan Army, and funds were allocated by the Government of Punjab. The Chief Architect for Government of the Punjab, Habib J. A. Somjee, shaped the marvels of this prestigious institution. The initial structure of Punjab Cadet College (the first name of CCH) was completed in 1954, and classes commenced in the month of April as military wings from Sahiwal and Peshawar were combined at Hasan Abdal. The college founding Principal was Hugh Catchpole, an eminent British educationist who had been at Rashtriya Indian Military College Dehradun, India, for many years before being specially invited by the then Commander-in-Chief, Ayub Khan, to raise a similar school in this new country. The campus is also Catchpole's final resting place.
In 1960, the government of the province of Punjab constituted a board of governors to exercise administrative control over the college vide Punjab Government Educational and Training Institutions Ordinance 1960. The board includes academicians, administrators, and intellectuals. The board consists of ex-officio and non-official members. The board consists of chairman, the Governor of the province of Punjab, Vice Chairman, Chairman Pakistan Ordinance Factories Board whereas members include Commissioner Rawalpindi Division, Secretary Finance Department, Secretary School Education Department, Deputy Commissioner Attock and Principal Cadet College Hasanabdal.
Under the board, various governing committees work to officiating the day-to-day affairs of the college. The executive committee is chaired by Chairman Pakistan Ordinance Factory and assisted by some prominent Abdalians; the principal acts as the secretary of the committee.
Cadet College Hasanabdal was planned as a boarding institute for almost 480 students from all across Pakistan. In 1996, the college underwent a renovation and expansion. It included wings, construction of N.D. Hasan Library and Computer Lab, resultantly, enhancing the boarding capacity of the college.
