Good Hons means 2nd Upper and 1st class. And yes, the starting pay is indeed tat high for a graduate officer wif gd honours. Engineering officers draw a slightly higher starting pay than their combat counterparts (less SOF, Commandoes, divers and pilots) in all three services. This gap will close after 2 yrs and the combat officers’ pay will surpass the engin’s.
