Schooling plus Sainik Entrance-Focused Training
Introduction
Getting your child ready for Sainik School isn’t just about books and coaching classes. It’s about finding the right mix of solid academics and focused exam preparation. Many parents feel confused—should their child concentrate on CBSE studies or spend extra hours in coaching? At Atulya Defence School, the answer is simple: why pick one when both can be done together?
Here, students continue their CBSE schooling while preparing for Sainik School entrance exams. Everything happens on one campus, so there’s no extra travel or the stress of juggling two schedules. It’s schooling plus exam-focused training under one roof.
Why Sainik Schools Matter
Sainik Schools are not ordinary schools. They’re known for discipline, academics, and grooming future leaders. Run under the Ministry of Defence, they prepare students for NDA, CDS, and other defence services. Alumni from Sainik Schools have gone on to serve in top positions in the armed forces.
But admission is tough. Seats are few, competition is enormous, and the entrance test is demanding. That’s why planned preparation is essential.

Parents often ask: “Is my child eligible to apply?” Here’s a straightforward overview based on the official AISSEE guidelines (AISSEE Information Bulletin – NTA).

- Class VI: 10 to 12 years (for both boys and girls)
- Class IX: 13 to 15 years (for boys; some schools may take girls if seats are available)
Educational Qualification
- Class VI: Must be in or have passed Class V.
- Class IX: Must be in or have passed Class VIII.

Where Students Struggle Most
Many bright children struggle not because they’re weak, but because of a lack of proper guidance:
- Math under exam pressure
- English grammar and comprehension
- General Knowledge and current affairs
- Interview fear and lack of confidence
A parent once shared: “My child knew the answers at home, but went blank in the interview. That’s when we realized preparation means more than just studying.”

Student Journeys
Take Aarav—great in Science but weak in English. After months of guided practice, English became his best subject.
Or Mehak, who was shy and avoided public speaking. Through regular group discussions and mock interviews, she not only cleared the entrance but also gained confidence in front of an audience.
