RESERVATION

Out of the remaining seats, 67% will be reserved for boys and girls from the state in which the Sainik School is located. The remaining 33% of seats will be open to boys and girls from other states and Union Territories in the ratio of their male population. Any unutilized seats in this category will be merged with home state seats.

Additionally, 50 marks for both VI and IX classes would be set aside for the interview, in addition to the 300 marks prescribed for the Written Examination for Class VI and 400 marks for Class IX. The merit list for admission to the Sainik School would be based on the total marks. In case of a tie concerning overall marks, the marks for mathematics would be considered. If there is still a tie, the marks for English for Class IX and the Intelligence Test for Class VI will be considered, followed by the marks for General Science for Class IX and language for Class VI. If a tie persists, the younger student will be selected. It will not be necessary for a student to qualify separately in the interview, and the marks obtained in the written test and interview together will determine his position in the final merit list.
