'''Military College Jhelum (MCJ)''' is a feeder [[military Intermediate College]], in [[Sarai Alamgir]], Pakistan. Though it is physically located in [[Gujrat District]], due to its very close proximity it is still associated with the [[Jhelum|City of Jhelum]], and is considered to be in the [[Jhelum Cantonment|cantonment limit of Jhelum]]. The institution feeds the [[Pakistan Military Academy]], [[Kakul]]. Military College Jhelum is one of three military colleges in Pakistan; the others being [[Military College Murree]] and [[Military College Sui]].

==History==
{{see also | Dholpur_Military_School#History | l1= History of Military Colleges in British India | Rashtriya_Indian_Military_College#History | l2 = RIMC| Sainik School | Cadet colleges }}

The college's foundation stone was laid on 25th February 1922 by the [[King Edward VIII|Prince of Wales]] at [[Jalandhar Cantonment]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.defencejournal.com/2000/nov/british-factor.htm|title=The British Factor and Asia in the Twentieth Century|website=www.defencejournal.com}}</ref> for the King George Royal Indian Military Schools (KGRIMS) at the Jallandhar and Jhelum in [[Punjab (British India)|Punjab]]. Regular classes at the college began on 15 September 1925. Jallandhar is now in the [[Punjab (India)|Indian state of Punjab]] but the school was relocated to the state of [[Himachal Pradesh]] after being renamed as the [[Chail Military School]].

==Location==
Military College Jhelum is located in the [[district of Gujrat]] in the town of [[Sarai Alamgir]]. Due to its proximity to city of Jhelum and because original Jhelum was on Sarai Alamgir side plus the inclusion of Sarai Alamgir in district [[Jhelum District|Jhelum]] before 1998, it is widely known as Military College Jhelum (MCJ).
