ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE (DR. SUBHASH BHAMRE) IN THE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE
(a) There are total 25 Sainik Schools functioning in the country. State wise list of the Sainik Schools is given in Annexure-I.
(b) Sainik Schools admit boys in Classes VI & IX. Their age should be 10-11 years for Class VI and 13-14 years for Class IX as on 1st July of the year in which admission is sought. Admissions are made strictly in the order of merit on the basis of an entrance examination held once a year. The candidate who qualify in the written examination is called for interview. Admission is further subject to the candidates being found medically fit according to medical standards prescribed for entry to National Defence 
Academy. However, factors like height and weight, which are variable with age, are ignored. 15% of the total seats are reserved for Scheduled Castes and 7 ½ seats for Scheduled Tribes. Out of the remaining, 67% of the seats in each Sainik School are reserved for boys from the state in which the Sainik School is located. The shortfall, if any, and the remaining seats will be thrown open to boys from other States and Union Territories. 25% seats are reserved for children of service personnel including ex-servicemen.
(c) & (d): There is no plan to open more Sainik Schools other than the ones which are already under consideration. List of proposals of opening of Sainik Schools is given at Annexure-II.
(e) Once the “in-principle” approval is given by Ministry of Defence the onus is on the State Government to construct the infrastructure so that the school can commence at the earliest.
