Military College Jhelum (MCJ) is the oldest military institution of its kind in Pakistan. It is an English medium institution, running classes from VIII to XII. It is located on the Grand Trunk (GT) Road, beside the town of Sarai Alamgir. The campus is spread over about 170 acres of area. It was founded by Prince of Wales, Prince Edward VIII, at Sarai Alamgir on 3rd March 1922 and named as King George Royal Indian Military School (KGRIMS). It started functioning on 15th September 1925, as a residential school for the sons of soldiers. During the World War II, the school was upgraded to the status of college as King George Royal Indian Military College in 1943 for training potential officers for the Army.
With the creation of Pakistan, it was renamed as King George Royal Pakistan Military College (KGRPMC) Jhelum. In 1956, the name was changed to its present name Military College Jhelum. It was restructured as a quality public school and assigned the role of a feeder institution for the Pakistan Military Academy.
