Some 100 cadets formally passed out on the occasion. Among them, 84 cadets, including five females, were from the 58th BMA Long Course, and 16 cadets, including, two females, from the 29th BMA Special Course.
To mark the occasion, the President's Parade was held at the Academy Wednesday. The Chief of Army Staff, General Moeen, reviewed the smartly turned-out parade and took salute as the chief guest.
Referring to himself as a proud cadet of the first batch of the BMA, Moeen said the academy was built in 1974, considering the significance and importance of Bangladesh Armed Forces.
"The BMA, known as national military educational institute, has now graduated to a glorious position achieving progress in phases," he told the army officers.
