Can girls take admission in Sainik School in Class 6?

Yes. The AISSEE 2027 bulletin clearly says admission for girls is open in Class 6 and the age rules are the same as for boys. Every one of the 33 Sainik Schools has Class 6 seats for girls in 2027-28.

A Sainik School is a residential, English-medium CBSE school run by the Sainik Schools Society under the Ministry of Defence, set up to prepare children for the armed forces. Girls have been admitted to Sainik Schools across the country for several years now. Our complete guide to Sainik School admission for girls covers hostels, fees and life on campus.

How many Class 6 seats are there for girls in Sainik Schools in 2027?

The 33 Old Sainik Schools have 351 Class 6 seats for girls in 2027-28, out of 3160 Class 6 seats in total. That is about 11% of all Class 6 seats in these schools. These numbers come from Appendix VI-A of the AISSEE 2027 Information Bulletin. A seat matrix is a table that shows how many seats each school has, split by home state, other states and category.

This table shows the Class 6 and Class 9 seats in the 33 Sainik Schools for boys and girls.

How does the girls quota work in Sainik Schools?

The rule is simple: in every Sainik School, 10% of the Class 6 strength or 10 seats, whichever is higher, is reserved for girls. The bulletin also says one seat per category will be given to girls. That is why most schools show exactly 10 girls seats: 5 for home state girls and 5 for girls from other states.

Domicile is the state your family officially belongs to, shown on your domicile certificate. Girls from the school’s state compete in the home-state list. Girls from other states compete in the other-state list.

The categories are the same as for boys: SC, ST, Other Backward Classes (Non-Creamy Layer) or OBC-NCL, Defence (wards of serving and former Army, Navy and Air Force personnel) and General. Read more on reservation in Sainik School admission.

Separate merit list for girls in AISSEE 2027

NTA prepares the school-wise and category-wise merit list separately for boys and girls. Your daughter’s rank is counted only among girls who applied for that school and category. She does not lose a girls seat to a boy.

Mentor’s Note Because most schools have only one girl’s seat per category in each list, the girl’s list moves very differently from the boy’s list. Over the years we have seen parents give up after seeing “1 seat”. But girls’ seats often move in later counselling rounds, when an allotted candidate does not join or is found medically unfit and the next girl on the waiting list is called. Fill several choices instead of one or two.

Sainik School Tilaiya (14) has the most girls’ seats. Amaravathinagar, Balachadi, Chhingchhip, Goalpara, Kapurthala, Kunjpura, Punglwa and Purulia have 12 each and Gopalganj has 11. Every other Sainik school has 10.

Worked example: girls’ seats in Haryana

Haryana has two Sainik Schools, Kunjpura and Rewari. Here is how a Haryana girl’s home-state seats look in 2027.

CategorySainik School Kunjpura: Haryana girlsSainik School Rewari: Haryana girls
SC11
ST00
OBC-NCL21
Defence11
General32
Total75

So a General-category girl from Haryana has 5 home-state seats across both schools (3 at Kunjpura, 2 at Rewari). She can also compete for the other-state girls’ seats in the other 31 Sainik Schools, which usually have 1 General seat each. Both schools show 0 ST seats in the home-state list. The bulletin says that when a category is not available in a home state, its seats go to the other categories so the state keeps its share.

New Sainik Schools with Class 6 seats for girls in 2027

41 approved new Sainik Schools list 1221 Class 6 seats marked for girls in 2027-28 and 73 schools list either girls’ or gender-neutral seats. Two of them take only girls: Samvid Gurukulam Senior Secondary School, Mathura (120 seats) and Central Hindu Military Education Society, Nashik (80 seats).

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. They follow their own domicile and category rules, and their fees are usually different from the 33 Sainik Schools. The bulletin asks parents to check girls’ seat availability on each new school’s website.

What “gender neutral” seats mean for your daughter

Many new Sainik schools show seats under “gender neutral” instead of boys or girls. The bulletin does not define the term. It most likely means those seats are open to both boys and girls, but please confirm with the New Sainik school before you take admission.

The 40% and 60% routes in New Sainik School

New Sainik Schools fill at least 40% of seats by rank in the AISSEE 2027 All India merit list. Up to 60% can go to students already studying in that school. Any 60% seats left empty pass to the 40% route. Read our explainer on the 40 and 60 route in New Sainik Schools.

Who can apply for Class 6 in AISSEE 2027?

Your daughter can apply for Class 6 if she was born between 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2017 (both dates included), the same rule as for boys. The application fee is ₹850 for General, OBC-NCL and Defence categories and ₹700 for SC and ST. See the full eligibility for Sainik School 2027 guide.

The Class 6 paper has 125 questions for 300 marks, and Mathematics alone carries 150 marks. There is no negative marking. Use our Sainik School online form 2027 guide to apply, and select “Female” carefully, because the bulletin does not allow gender to be changed after registration except in the correction window.

How does a girls’ seat turn into admission?

Your daughter gets a seat through e-counselling, based on her rank among girls, her category, her home state and the schools you choose. Qualifying the exam comes first; the seat is allotted later. Here is the order of events.

  1. 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).
  2. NTA publishes the result and the merit lists, made separately for girls and boys.
  3. Register again on the e-counselling portal (AISSAC) and fill your school choices. See our e-counselling guide.
  4. Attend the medical exam if called. Check the medical standards early.
  5. 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, and more new Sainik Schools may be added. Always confirm on the official website: https://exams.nta.nic.in/sainik-school-society/

Common mistakes parents of girls make

  • Choosing only the nearest school. With one seat per category in each list, a single choice is risky. Add schools from other states too.
  • Ignoring other-state girls’ seats. 167 of the 351 girls’ seats are for girls from other states.
  • Picking a boys-only new school. Seven new Sainik Schools have no girls’ seats in 2027. Check the table before you fill choices.
  • Choosing the 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

  1. Fill the AISSEE 2027 form before 2 December 2026. Use our online form 2027 guide.
  2. Note your home-state school’s girls’ seats in your category from the table above.
  3. Start with the Sainik School Class 6 syllabus and solve previous year question papers.
  4. Practise on a real answer sheet with our free Sainik School OMR sheet PDF.
  5. Take a weekly mock from the test series from December to January.

Sainik School Seat Matrix 2027 Class 6 Girls: 351 Seats : FAQ’s

Can girls take admission in Sainik School in Class 6?

Yes. The AISSEE 2027 bulletin says admission for girls is open in Class 6, with the same age rules as boys. Your daughter must be born between 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2017. All 33 Sainik Schools have Class 6 seats for girls in 2027-28, and many approved new Sainik Schools do too.

How many Class 6 seats are there for girls in Sainik Schools in 2027?

The AISSEE 2027 seat matrix lists 351 Class 6 seats for girls in the 33 Sainik Schools: 184 for girls from the school’s home state and 167 for girls from other states. Approved new Sainik Schools add 1,221 girls’ seats, plus 5,955 gender-neutral seats. All numbers are tentative.

What is the girls’ quota in Sainik Schools?

In the 33 Sainik Schools, 10% of the Class 6 strength or 10 seats, whichever is higher, is reserved for girls. The bulletin also gives one seat per category to girls. So most schools have 10 girls’ seats: 5 for home-state girls and 5 for girls from other states, one in each category.

Is there a separate merit list for girls in AISSEE?

Yes. NTA prepares the school-wise and category-wise merit list separately for boys and girls, and separately for Class 6 and Class 9, as per the AISSEE 2027 bulletin. This means your daughter competes with other girls for the girls’ seats in each school, not with boys.

Which Sainik School has the most Class 6 seats for girls in 2027?

Among the 33 Sainik Schools, Sainik School Tilaiya in Jharkhand has the most Class 6 girls’ seats in 2027, with 14. Eight schools have 12 seats each. Among new Sainik Schools, Samvid Gurukulam in Mathura (Uttar Pradesh) lists 120 girls’ seats, the highest for any single school.

Where can I see the official Class 6 girls’ seat matrix?

The official seat matrix is in the AISSEE 2027 Information Bulletin on exams.nta.nic.in/sainik-school-society. Girls’ seats in the 33 Sainik Schools are in Appendix VI-A, under the “Girls” columns. Girls’ seats in new Sainik Schools are in Appendix VI-B. This page lists the same numbers in simple tables.
