J T M Gibson, the first Principal, was instrumental<br />
in establishing and implementing academic<br />
training at the Joint Services Wing. In fact,<br />
academic excellence is a prerequisite to maintain<br />
an edge and commandeer men in the years to<br />
come. The academic instructions at the Academy<br />
are imparted by qualified civilian and Service<br />
instructors, headed by the Principal.<br />
The curriculum is well-rounded and supported<br />
by modern libraries and laboratories. The first<br />
two-year course syllabus for the JSW, drawn<br />
up by the National War Academy Syllabus and<br />
Establishment Committee in 1948, fixed the<br />
ratio of academic subjects to Service subjects as<br />
2:1. It was equivalent to Intermediate Science of a<br />
majority of Indian universities.<br />
