About Sainik Schools

Sainik Schools are fully residential, co-educational institutions that follow the CBSE pattern of study. Without any doubt, they are one of the best educational institutions in the county. Every year, lakhs of children dream of making it to Sainik School, but only a few can make it. The Sainik School Society, an autonomous organization under the Ministry of Defence, Government of India, runs and manages these schools. At present, there are 33 Sainik Schools operational in India. In March 2022, the Ministry of Defence, Government of India, approved 21 new Sainik Schools across various states of India. These are known as New Sainik Schools (NSS). In this post, we throw light on the AISSEE 2025 eligibility criteria laid down for admission to classes 6 and 9 for the academic session 2025-26.

Sainik Schools are one of the most prestigious educational institutions in India. These schools train kids to join as officers in the Indian Armed Forces. They academically, physically, mentally, and emotionally prepare and groom kids so that they are ready to become officers in the Indian Defence Forces – Army, Navy, and Air Force. Sainik Schools offer military training to instill discipline, physical fitness, leadership skills, and a sense of patriotism among students. This includes activities like drills, shooting, obstacle courses, and adventure training.
