In brief
NDI Sainik Academy is a coaching academy for children preparing to enter Sainik Schools, Rashtriya Military Schools and the Rashtriya Indian Military College.
What we do
We prepare students for three competitive entrance examinations: the All India Sainik Schools Entrance Examination (AISSEE), the Rashtriya Military Schools (RMS) entrance and the RIMC entrance. Our coaching range is 7 to 15 years of age.
How we teach
Preparation is organised as a repeating cycle rather than a list of lectures: teach the concept, practise it, test it, and use the test to decide what to teach next. Online students have a weekly test; residential students are tested daily.
- Experienced teachers for each subject
- Physical and soft-copy study materials
- Three retired defence officers involved in residential training and guidance
- Sports and structured routines alongside academics
