Old Sainik Schools and new Sainik Schools: what’s the difference?
There are two kinds of Sainik Schools. The 33 “old” Sainik Schools are run by the Sainik Schools Society under the Ministry of Defence. The “new” Sainik Schools are existing schools (run by states, trusts or private bodies) that the Ministry of Defence has approved to run a Sainik School section in partnership mode.
Admission to both goes through one exam, the All India Sainik Schools Entrance Examination (AISSEE). The seat rules, fees and quotas are different, so we show them in separate tables below.
| Type | Schools with Class 6 seats for boys | Seats boys can apply for | Rule for who gets them |
| 33 Sainik Schools | 33 | 2,809 (boys only) | 67% home state, 33% other states, with SC, ST, OBC-NCL and Defence quotas |
| Approved new Sainik Schools | 78 | 4,856 boys’ seats + 5,955 gender-neutral seats | At least 40% by All India merit; up to 60% for students already in that school |
Sainik School seat matrix 2027 Class 6 boys: school-wise list
Every one of the 33 Sainik Schools has Class 6 seats for boys in 2027-28, ranging from 40 seats at SS Jhansi to 126 at SS Tilaiya. The table shows home-state seats, other-state seats and each school’s total Class 6 intake (boys and girls together). Click a school name to read about that school’s Sainik School Seat Vacancies Class 6 Boys.
| Mentor’s Note Parents often look only at the biggest number in this table. Look at the “home state” column for your own state’s school instead, because that is the list your child competes in first. A school with 60 home-state seats in a small state can be easier to get into than a school with 120 seats in a state where many more children apply. |
Which Sainik Schools have the most Class 6 seats for boys in 2027?
Sainik School Tilaiya has the most Class 6 boys’ seats in AISSEE 2027 (126), followed by SS Amaravathinagar (110) and seven schools with 108 each.
| Rank | Sainik School | State | Class 6 boys’ seats |
| 1 | Sainik School Tilaiya | Jharkhand | 126 |
| 2 | Sainik School Amaravathinagar | Tamil Nadu | 110 |
| 3 | Sainik School Balachadi | Gujarat | 108 |
| 4 | Sainik School Chhingchhip | Mizoram | 108 |
| 5 | Sainik School Goalpara | Assam | 108 |
| 6 | Sainik School Kapurthala | Punjab | 108 |
| 7 | Sainik School Kunjpura | Haryana | 108 |
| 8 | Sainik School Punglwa | Nagaland | 108 |
| 9 | Sainik School Purulia | West Bengal | 108 |
| 10 | Sainik School Gopalganj | Bihar | 99 |
New Sainik Schools with Class 6 seats for boys in 2027
78 approved new Sainik Schools list Class 6 seats that boys can apply for in 2027-28. Together they have 4856 seats marked for boys and 5955 marked “gender neutral”. Two schools on the list (Samvid Gurukulam, Mathura and Central Hindu Military Education Society, Nashik) have Class 6 seats for girls only.
The bulletin does not define “gender neutral”. It most likely means the school has not split those seats between boys and girls, but please confirm with the New Sainik School before you plan admission there.
How the 40% and 60% routes work in New Sainik Schools?
New Sainik Schools fill seats through two routes. At least 40% of seats go to children by rank in the AISSEE 2027 All India merit list. Up to 60% can go to students already studying in that school, by a school-wise merit list. If the 60% seats are not filled, they pass to the 40% route. Read our full explainer on the 40 and 60 route in New Sainik Schools.
So when a new school shows 120 seats, a child from outside the school may realistically compete for about 48 of them, unless in-school students leave some seats empty. This is report on Sainik School Seat Vacancies Class 6 Boys.

Source: AISSEE 2027 Information Bulletin, NTA, released 3 November 2026. Seats are tentative. Delhi has no Sainik School in the list. Children domiciled in states with no Sainik School compete for other-state seats.
How are Class 6 boys seats divided between home state, other states and categories?
In the 33 Sainik Schools, 67% of seats go to children whose domicile is the school’s home state and 33% to children from other states. Inside each of these two lists, seats are split by category:
SC 15%, ST 7.5%, OBC-NCL 27%, then 25% of the remaining seats for wards of defence personnel and the rest for General.
Domicile simply means the state your family officially belongs to, proved by a domicile certificate. Read more on the reservation rules in Sainik School admission. You are reading on Sainik School Seat Vacancies for Class 6 Boys for AISSEE 2027.
| Category | Home-state seats | Other-state seats | Total Class 6 boys’ seats |
| SC | 263 | 127 | 390 |
| ST | 114 | 44 | 158 |
| OBC-NCL | 498 | 243 | 741 |
| Defence (wards of serving and ex-servicemen) | 251 | 98 | 349 |
| General | 809 | 362 | 1,171 |
| Total | 1,935 | 874 | 2,809 |
Worked example for Seats & Vacancies: Sainik School Rewari (Haryana)
Sainik School Rewari has 90 Class 6 seats for boys in 2027. Here is how they are split, straight from the bulletin.
| Category | Haryana boys (home state) | Boys from other states |
| SC | 9 | 4 |
| ST | 0 | 1 |
| OBC-NCL | 17 | 8 |
| Defence | 9 | 3 |
| General | 27 | 12 |
| Total | 62 | 28 |
Two things stand out. First, the home-state list has 0 ST seats. The bulletin says that when a category is not available in a home state, its seats go to the other categories so that the 67% stays with that state. Second, there are 28 other-state seats and no single state can take more than 25% of them. So at most 7 boys from any one other state, say Rajasthan, can get a Rewari seat this year.
Who can apply for Class 6 in AISSEE 2027?
Your son can apply for Class 6 if he was born between 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2017 (both dates included), which makes him 10 to 12 years old on 31 March 2027.

How does a seat in the seat matrix turn into admission?
A seat is allotted through e-counselling, based on your son’s rank, his category, his home-state status and the schools you choose. Qualifying the exam is the first step; the allotment happens later. Here is the order of events.
- Write AISSEE on 31 January 2027 and score at least 25% in each subject and 40% overall (no minimum for SC and ST in the 33 Sainik Schools).
- NTA publishes the result and merit lists, made separately for boys and girls and for Class 6 and Class 9.
- Register again on the e-counselling portal (AISSAC) and fill your school choices. See our e-counselling guide.
- Attend the medical exam if called. Check the medical standards early.
- Carry the original documents for verification. Keep this documents checklist handy.
| Please note The seat numbers on this page are from NTA’s “Tentative List of Vacancies”. The bulletin says vacancies are subject to revision because cadets may leave a school. New Sainik Schools may also be added. Always confirm on the official website: https://exams.nta.nic.in/sainik-school-society/ |
Common mistakes parents make with the seat matrix
- Counting all seats instead of your list. Your son competes mainly in his own home-state and category list, not for the school’s full number.
- Ignoring other-state seats. If your state has few seats, the 33% other-state list in other schools is a real option.
- Skipping the new Sainik Schools. They have far more seats in 2027, but check each school’s fees and domicile rules first.
- Choosing Defence category wrongly. Wards of Coast Guard and Assam Rifles personnel are advised not to select Defence; they should choose SC, ST, OBC-NCL or General.
- Treating the seat matrix as final. It is tentative. Recheck the numbers at e-counselling.
What to do next
- Fill the AISSEE 2027 form before 2 December 2026. Use our online form 2027 guide.
- Note your home-state school and its home-state seats from the table above.
- Start with the Sainik School Class 6 syllabus and solve previous year question papers.
- Practise on a real answer sheet with our free Sainik School OMR sheet PDF.
- Take a weekly mock from the test series from December to January.
