It is not guaranteed that every candidate who passes the written entrance examination and who subsequently enters as a cadet at the Philippine Military Academy will definitely graduate after four years of study and training.
The Academy is the country's primary military institution and as such, it is tasked to produce the most qualified military leaders for the Armed Forces of the Philippines. And it is because of the nature of its assigned mission that the Academy is compelled to maintain a very high standard of education and military training. Although the majority of the members of a particular class do graduate, unluckily there are also some who don't.
There are different reasons for cadet attrition and these are classified according to the following categories:
This is the major cause for cadet attrition. The most common conditions are the following:
Cadets are evaluated according to their behavior and deportment. A cadet is discharged for conduct deficiency at the end of a "Conduct Period" if he or she is due to be turned back but has been turned back or discharged during a previous term for reasons other than sick leave or, if he or she obtained a grade below 6.00.
Leadership abilities and potentials of each cadet are also being evaluated at the end of every term. Failure in aptitude can also occur if the cadet is due to be turned back and has been turned back or discharged during the previous term for any reason other than sick leave.
Some of the new cadets are just not able to adjust to the rigors of military training. There are those who experience the difficult transition from civilian to military life. Homesickness, immaturity, poor health, lack of a sense of direction in life, loss of interest, and various other reasons are also attributed to cadet attrition.

Hindi garantisado na bawat kandidatong pumasa sa written entrance examination at pagkatapos ay pumasok bilang kadete sa Philippine Military Academy ay tiyak na makakapagtapos pagkatapos ng apat na taong pag-aaral at pagsasanay.
Ang Academy ang pangunahing institusyong militar ng bansa at dahil dito, tungkulin nitong maghanda ng mga pinaka-kwalipikadong lider militar para sa Armed Forces of the Philippines. At dahil sa uri ng misyon nito, kailangang panatilihin ng Academy ang napakataas na pamantayan sa edukasyon at pagsasanay militar. Bagama't karamihan sa mga miyembro ng isang klase ay nakakapagtapos, sa kasamaang-palad ay may ilan ding hindi.
May iba't ibang dahilan ng pagkakatanggal ng kadete at inuri ang mga ito ayon sa sumusunod na mga kategorya:
Ito ang pangunahing dahilan ng pagkakatanggal ng kadete. Ang pinakakaraniwang mga kondisyon ay ang sumusunod:
Sinusuri ang mga kadete batay sa kanilang pag-uugali at asal. Madi-discharge ang isang kadete dahil sa kakulangan sa asal sa katapusan ng "Conduct Period" kung dapat na siyang ma-turn back ngunit na-turn back na o na-discharge sa nakaraang term sa mga dahilan maliban sa sick leave o, kung nakakuha siya ng gradong mas mababa sa 6.00.
Sinusuri rin ang kakayahan at potensyal sa pamumuno ng bawat kadete sa katapusan ng bawat term. Maaari ring magkaroon ng pagbagsak sa aptitude kung ang kadete ay dapat nang ma-turn back at na-turn back na o na-discharge sa nakaraang term sa anumang dahilan maliban sa sick leave.
Ang ilang bagong kadete ay hindi nakaka-adjust sa hirap ng pagsasanay militar. May mga nahihirapan sa mahirap na paglipat mula sa sibilyan patungo sa buhay militar. Ang homesickness, kakulangan sa gulang, mahinang kalusugan, kawalan ng direksyon sa buhay, kawalan ng interes, at iba't ibang iba pang dahilan ay iniuugnay din sa pagkakatanggal ng kadete.
