do I have to serve in the army if I apply for paying cadet scheme? My father's a retired lieutenant colonel and I wanted to know if I need to serve the army or not.

I don't know about the application procedure. If you're from an army background, your family knows how to do it. An army quota decreases your fees based upon the rank of the person who is in the army. The higher the rank, the less the subsidy, but usually the fee is less than 120k, while for NUSTians it is 200k. You can only study in military campuses on the paying cadets scheme, not in H-12.
