 The Sainik Schools are among the top institutions in India that provide quality education and training to boys and girls with the aim to join the Armed Forces. The tentative list of vacancies for Class VI in various Sainik Schools for the academic year 2025-26 has been released. The vacancies are categorized by state, category, and gender, and are subject to change based on the withdrawal of cadets or other factors.

Vacancy Breakdown: The list contains the vacancies for boys and girls in various categories such as SC, ST, OBC-NCL, Defence, and General categories across the different Sainik Schools in India. The total vacancies listed are divided into home state and other state categories.

For example:

Sainik School Amaravathinagar has a total of 65 vacancies, distributed among various categories (SC, ST, OBC, DEF, and GEN) for both boys and girls.

Sainik School Ambikapur lists 100 vacancies with similar category distribution.

Sainik School Tilaiya shows the largest number with 160 vacancies, spread across multiple categories and states.

Reservation of Seats: The reservation of seats in Sainik Schools follows specific guidelines:

Further distribution within these states is made as per the following categories:

• SC (15%)
• ST (7.5%)

In case any reserved category (like SC, ST, or OBC) is unavailable within a state, the seats will be reallocated within available categories while maintaining the 67% allocation for the home state.

Special Provisions for Girls: A minimum of 10% of the total strength or 10 seats (whichever is higher) will be reserved for girl candidates in any Sainik School. Additionally, one seat per category will be allotted to girls in the girls' admission category.

Note on Vacancies: The vacancies are subject to change based on the withdrawal of cadets or other circumstances. The number of vacancies can increase or decrease, and if a category has no vacancies, the seats will be redistributed according to the existing reservation guidelines. For example, if no seats are available for SC candidates in a state, the vacancies will be allocated to other available categories to ensure proper distribution.
