E-Counseling For Sainik Schools
Candidates who meet the requirements must take part in the online e-counseling process following the results and medical test. This is an important step because it determines which Sainik School a student will be assigned to.
- Choice filling: After logging into the e-counseling portal, candidates must prioritise the Sainik schools of their choice.
- Seat distribution: The system assigns a school based on the candidate’s rank, category, reservation policies, and available seats.
- Verification of documents: During counselling, candidates must upload and show their documents, including birth certificates, category certificates, and certificates of domicile.
- Reporting: Students are required to report to the designated Sainik School within the specified time limit upon confirmation.
