Commandant’s Parade at IMA: A Prelude to the December 13 Passing Out Parade
The Indian Military Academy (IMA) showcased a remarkable exhibition of discipline and precision during the Commandant’s Parade on December 11, 2025. This event, led by the Passing Out Course, exemplified the esteemed traditions of the Academy and set a high standard for the upcoming Passing Out Parade (POP) planned for December 13, 2025.
Cadets displayed perfect drill movements, sharp coordination, and impeccable turnout, reflecting the rigorous training and leadership values imparted at IMA. The synchronized march, confident demeanor, and meticulous attention to detail emphasized the transformation of cadets into officers prepared to take on responsibilities within the Indian Armed Forces.
The Commandant’s Parade is a vital milestone in the training process, providing a last chance to evaluate the cadets' readiness before commissioning. The exceptional standards displayed have increased anticipation for the Grand Finale — the Passing Out Parade — where cadets will officially join the officer cadre.
With only two days remaining before the historic ceremony, the atmosphere at IMA is filled with pride, expectation, and a profound sense of duty, honor, and country.
