However, earlier registered applicant will be allowed to update their data on the portal, with fresh inputs, if any. For any further clarification/assistance, interested schools may send an email to sainikschoolaffiliation[at]gmail[dot]com.

The Government’s vision of establishing new Sainik Schools is not only to provide quality education to the students in tune with the National Education Policy and give them better career opportunities, including joining the Armed Forces; but also provide an opportunity to the State Governments/NGOs/private sector to work hand-in-hand with the Central Government towards nation building. Towards this, Sainik Schools Society has approved 42 Private/NGOs/State Government Schools as new Sainik Schools. These 42 schools are apart from the existing 33 Sainik Schools already functioning under the erstwhile pattern.

These new schools, besides their affiliation to respective education boards, will function under the aegis of Sainik Schools Society and follow the Rules and Regulations for new Sainik Schools in partnership mode. In addition, to their regular affiliated board curriculum, they will also impart education of Academic PLUS curriculum to the students of Sainik School pattern.
