Sainik School

Sainik Schools are government-funded institutions in India that prepare young students, typically boys aged 10–12, for careers in the Indian Armed Forces. They combine academics with military training, discipline, and leadership development, aiming to produce competent officers for the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Established to strengthen national defense, these schools follow a curriculum aligned with CBSE standards and promote physical fitness, patriotism, and character building. Admission is through a competitive exam, and successful students often gain entry into premier military academies after completing their schooling.
