Punjab has always been a land of warriors, patriots, and proud soldiers. Today, thousands of Punjab families want to give their children the same path — and the Sainik School entrance exam is where that journey begins. Young Star Defence Academy is Punjab's most trusted name for AISSEE coaching, with over 2,000 Punjab students successfully selected into Sainik Schools across India.
Based at our residential campus in Amritsar, we serve students from every district of Punjab — Amritsar, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Gurdaspur, Pathankot, Patiala, Kapurthala, Tarn Taran, Bathinda, Hoshiarpur and beyond. Students who cannot relocate can access the same quality coaching through our online programme — live classes, doubt sessions, and mock tests.
