Cadet College Petaro is a military boarding school in Jamshoro District of the southern province of Sindh in Pakistan, about 30 km from Hyderabad.

Its campus occupies over 700 acres (2.8 km2) on the west bank of the Indus River on the road from Hyderabad to Dadu, Larkana and Quetta.

The initial cost of construction of the buildings of the college sanctioned by the government of then-West Pakistan was Rs.

Gen. Pervez Musharraf, President of Pakistan was the chief guest at the Golden Jubilee celebrations on 28 February 2007.

On this occasion, President Musharraf announced the formation of a university in the vicinity of the college that will be sponsored by the Metupak Foundation.

College students have normally secured most of the top positions in the competitive Hyderabad Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education examinations every year.

However, due to malpractices by college administration in later years, many sons of rich landlords availed this opportunity as they were unable to get in through competitive examinations.

Therefore, in the year 2000, the Board of Governors decided to abolish this scheme as it did not benefit the segment of the population it was intended for.

In 2007, on the occasion of Cadet College Petaro's golden jubilee, General Pervez Musharraf, who was the chief guest on the occasion, announced the construction of a new house, which was named Sachal Sarmast House after the famous Sufi poet from Sindh.

The campus is practically a small township with its own electricity, water supply, sewerage, security and other infrastructure.

The campus is divided into 4 parts, which are Staff Quarters, Cadets Area, Sports Grounds and College Premises.

The college is governed by an autonomous board of governors, headed by the Commander Karachi (COMKAR) of the Pakistan Navy as its chairman.

Over these years, the association has hosted numerous functions that provide a social meeting ground for the Petarians and their families.

The Commander Karachi (COMKAR) of the Pakistan Navy (who is the Chairman Board of Governors of Cadet College Petaro) has always been invited to be the Patron-in-Chief of the association.
