Cadet College Palandri was announced in 1976, by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto due to efforts of Col M Naqi Khan, the then Prime Minister of Pakistan, along with two other cadet colleges at Larkana and Mastung. Instability prevented this dream from being realized until 1991, when Benazir Bhutto, the then Prime Minister of Pakistan, released funds for this college. Raja Mumtaz Hussain Rathore the then Prime Minister Azad kashmir graced the ground breaking ceremony. A flood in 1992 stopped everything proceeding.
In 1998 Barrister Sultan Mehmood Chaudhary, the then PM of Azad State of Jammu and Kashmir, appointed Brigadier (retd) Akbar as project director and commandant of the college. The first batch of students, 62 cadets, joined the college on 13 September 1998. The formal inauguration was held on the next day, and 15th Sep 1998 was the day when the teachers commenced teaching.
