Sainik Schools in India: Complete List

Here, we have given complete list of Sainik Schools in India. The Sainik Schools are a system of public schools in India established and managed by the Sainik Schools Society under Ministry of Defence (MoD). They were conceived in 1961 by V. K. Krishna Menon, the Defence Minister of India at that time.

The primary objective of the Sainik Schools is to prepare students academically, mentally and physically for entry into the National Defence Academy (NDA) and Indian Naval Academy (INA). Sainik Schools, along with 1 RIMC (Rashtriya Indian Military College) and 5 RMS (Rashtriya Military Schools), contribute 25% to 30% officer cadets to NDA and INA.
