Preparing for the Sainik School Entrance Exam can be an exciting journey — one filled with hopes, dreams, and a little bit of nervousness. Every year, thousands of students across India aim to secure a seat in these prestigious institutions. But the real question is — how do you prepare the right way?
Whether you're a parent helping your child prepare or a student determined to crack the exam, this blog is for you.
The All India Sainik School Entrance Exam (AISSEE) is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission into Class 6 and Class 9. These schools are designed to prepare students for a future in the National Defence Academy (NDA) and other defence services.
This exam isn’t just about academics — it’s about discipline, personality, and potential.
For Class 6:
Mathematics (Major portion – 50% weightage)
English / Hindi Language
General Knowledge
Intelligence (Reasoning)
For Class 9:
Mathematics
Science
English
Social Science
Intelligence (Reasoning)
The paper is MCQ-based (OMR format) and conducted in multiple regional languages.
✅ Start Early:
Ideally, students should start preparing at least 6–9 months before the exam. A slow and steady pace is better than a last-minute rush.
✅ Daily Routine:
A balanced study schedule that covers Maths, English, GK, and Reasoning daily is the key. Even 3–4 hours a day with full concentration is enough.
✅ Mock Tests are a Must:
Solve previous year papers and take weekly mock tests to track your performance and build exam confidence.
✅ Revise Regularly:
Most students study a lot, but forget to revise. Keep one day a week just for revision and practice.
✅ Stay Updated:
For GK and current affairs, encourage students to read newspapers, watch the news, or follow YouTube GK videos.
"Support matters more than pressure."
Keep your child motivated, disciplined, and mentally relaxed. Don't force long study hours — instead, encourage consistency.
Also, keep track of your child’s mock test performance and help them stay positive even if they make mistakes. It’s part of the learning process.
At Foundations Classes, we don’t just teach — we build careers. Our specialized programs for RIMC, RMS, and Sainik School preparation are designed keeping in mind the real exam pattern and student psychology.
