Integrated with CBSE Curriculum
Sainik School & Navodaya coaching is woven into the ALC (Advance Learning Classes) programme, not a separate add-on. Mathematics, language, and reasoning skills develop naturally alongside CBSE coursework.
Experienced Faculty
Mr. Rajesh Gupta (M.Sc. Mathematics, 10 years experience) specializes in Olympiad & Navodaya preparation. His mentorship has guided students to multiple Navodaya selections.
Boarding Environment Builds Discipline
Life at RKIS hostel instills the self-discipline, independence, and resilience required for both entrance exams and boarding school life at Sainik/Navodaya institutions.
Small Batch Attention
Small class sizes in ALC ensure every student receives personalized guidance. Teachers track individual progress in mental ability, math, and language skills.
Regular Mock Test Practice
Students take monthly mock tests in exam conditions, building speed, accuracy, and confidence. Performance data helps us identify weak areas for targeted improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: At what age should my child start Sainik School & Navodaya preparation?
Ideally, mental ability and reasoning skills should begin developing from Class 3. We integrate preparation into the ALC curriculum from Class 3–4 onwards. Early start gives students a significant advantage as these exams test conceptual understanding and logical thinking.
Q: Is Sainik School & Navodaya coaching a separate programme or integrated into school academics?
It is fully integrated into the ALC (Advance Learning Classes) programme. It is not a separate coaching class. Mathematics, language, reasoning, and mental ability are all developed through regular CBSE classes and specialized ALC sessions.
Q: What exams does RKIS prepare students for?
We prepare for AISSEE (All India Sainik Schools Entrance Examination) for Class 6 & 9 entry into Sainik Schools, and JNVST (Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test) for Class 6 entry into Navodaya Vidyalayas. Both exams test mental ability, arithmetic, and language skills.
Q: Has RKIS sent any students to Sainik Schools?
Yes. RKIS has 40+ Navodaya qualifications and 90+ Sainik School qualifications over the years. These exams are highly competitive, and our integrated preparation approach gives students excellent chances of success in both AISSEE and JNVST.
Q: What about RIMC (Rashtriya Indian Military College) preparation?
RIMC entrance (Class 6 & 9 entry) is similar in scope to Sainik School exams. Students preparing for AISSEE and JNVST develop the mental ability, reasoning, and academic skills needed for RIMC. We can provide additional mentoring for RIMC aspirants upon request.
Q: Is boarding mandatory for this programme?
No. Boarding is optional. Day-scholar students at RKIS benefit equally from integrated AISSEE & JNVST preparation through the ALC curriculum. However, boarding enhances discipline and independent study skills, which are valuable for entrance exams.

Both AISSEE and JNVST are highly competitive all-India exams. Navodaya has ~1.5–2% selection rate; Sainik Schools ~3–5%. Our success comes from early preparation, personalized mentoring, mock tests, and building strong fundamentals from Class 3 onwards.
Q: How do you track student progress?
Students take monthly mock exams, mental ability assessments, and language proficiency tests. Progress is tracked against AISSEE & JNVST benchmarks. Parents receive quarterly reports and we conduct one-on-one mentor meetings to discuss strategies and improvements.
