Is my child the right age?

Enter a date of birth and pick an examination. We will show you the age bands the academy publishes for it.

We compare the age today against the bands the academy publishes. This is a guide, not an admission decision.

Side by side

Two routes to the same examination

The preparation is the same in both. What differs is where your child lives and studies, and how the day is shaped. Neither is better; they suit different families.

Methodology

Our Learning Methodology

A repeating cycle, not a timetable of lectures.

  1. STEP 01

    Learn

    Subject teachers cover the full AISSEE curriculum — Maths, English, GK and Science.

  2. STEP 02

    Practise

    More than 5,000 practice questions, worked through in study hours and at home.

  3. STEP 03

    Test

    A test every day, and a full-length mock exam every week under timed conditions.

  4. STEP 04

    Analyse

    Every mock is analysed with the student, and the outcome is shared with parents.

  5. STEP 05

    Correct

    Doubt-clearing sessions close the gaps the analysis found. No backlog is carried forward.

  6. STEP 06

    Repeat

    The cycle runs again on harder material, week after week, until the exam.

The cycle repeats every week until the exam

In brief

Two ways to prepare for the same entrance examinations — live online classes from home, or a full residential program on campus.

Choosing between online and residential

Both programs prepare students for the Sainik School (AISSEE), RMS and RIMC entrance examinations and follow the same teach–practise–test cycle. The difference is where and how the day is organised.

Online program

Live classes run from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Recorded classes let a student catch up on anything missed, each student gets a personal login to the learning and test platform, and there is one online test every week. Study materials are provided in print and as soft copy. See the online program.

Residential program

For children in Classes 3 to 8. Academics, daily tests and continuous assessment, food and accommodation, sports and extracurricular activities, and guidance from retired defence officers — all within one structured routine. See the residential program.

Entry classes by examination

Age and other criteria follow each examination's official admission notification. For the admission steps, see admissions.
