Should my child join a Sainik School? #
For parents weighing the decision, here is the short answer: Sainik Schools are India's most reliable feeder pipeline to the National Defence Academy. A child who enters at Class 6, lives in a structured residential environment, follows a CBSE curriculum, and graduates with the discipline and physical readiness needed to walk into the NDA at 16.

The All India Sainik Schools Entrance Examination (AISSEE) is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). For Class 6 admission, the paper has 4 sections:
| Section | Marks | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | 150 | — |
| GK | 50 | — |
| Language (English) | 50 | — |
| Intelligence | 50 | — |
| Total | 300 | 150 min |
