Every year, parents in Fazilka walk into our centre with the same hope in their eyes — they want their child to wear that uniform one day. We understand that feeling deeply, because we have seen it transform into reality, again and again.
At Young Star Defence Academy, we have been guiding young aspirants from Fazilka, Abohar, Jalalabad, and across Punjab’s border belt to crack the Sainik School entrance exam and earn their place in India’s most respected defence institutions. This is not just coaching for us — it is a mission.
Sainik Schools are Government of India residential schools, run under the Ministry of Defence. Their whole purpose is to prepare young students — academically, physically, and mentally — for a future in the National Defence Academy (NDA) and the armed forces.
Admission happens once a year through the All India Sainik Schools Entrance Exam (AISSEE), conducted by NTA. Students can apply for Class 6 or Class 9 entry.
For a family in Fazilka, getting a child into a Sainik School is life-changing. It means quality residential education, a path to an officer’s commission, and a future built on honour and discipline. The nearest Sainik School to Fazilka is Sainik School Kapurthala — and hundreds of students from this region appear for the exam every year. The competition is real, but so is the opportunity.

There are coaching institutes, and then there are places that actually prepare a child for what lies ahead. We try to be the latter. Here is what that looks like in practice:
Our faculty do not teach from generic textbooks. They have spent years working specifically with Sainik School, RIMC, and RMS aspirants. They know which topics trip students up, what the examiners look for, and how to build a student’s confidence alongside their knowledge. When a child sits in our classroom, they are learning from someone who has seen this exam from every angle.
We do not hand students a pile of books and wish them luck. Our study material is built around the current AISSEE syllabus — chapter-by-chapter notes for Maths, English, General Knowledge, and Intelligence Tests, along with previous years’ question papers and timed practice sets. Students get familiar with the exam format long before exam day.
Big batches look impressive on paper, but they do not serve individual students. We keep our batches small on purpose. Every student gets regular one-on-one time with their teacher. We track progress weekly, we call parents when something needs attention, and we make sure no child quietly falls behind while everyone else moves on.
Sainik Schools have a physical fitness standard, and students who only prepare academically often get caught off guard. Our coaching schedule includes daily physical training — endurance runs, agility exercises, strength drills — guided by qualified trainers. By the time a student appears for the exam, their body is as ready as their mind.
Many of our students travel from Fazilka, Abohar, Jalalabad, Sito Gunno, and surrounding villages. For those who need it, we provide hostel accommodation with a structured daily routine — fixed study hours, physical training, proper meals, and lights-out at a sensible time. It mirrors the Sainik School environment, so students are not in culture shock when they arrive there.
Not every family in Fazilka can manage daily transport to a coaching centre. Our online program gives students the same quality of teaching from wherever they are — live classes, recorded lectures they can rewatch, weekly mock tests, and direct access to teachers for doubt-clearing. Distance is not a barrier anymore.
We prepare students for every major defence school entrance exam:
It helps to know the exam structure before you start preparing. Here is a quick breakdown:
For Class 6 Admission:
For Class 9 Admission:
Our coaching covers every one of these subjects in depth. Students do not just read — they practise. Timed tests, chapter quizzes, and full mock exams build both knowledge and the exam temperament needed to perform under pressure.
If your child cannot come to our centre every day, that should not stop them from getting excellent preparation. Our online platform is built to give remote students everything they need:
For students who learn better face-to-face, our classroom coaching provides:
A Sainik School selection process is not only about written marks. There is a medical round and an interview that assess how a child carries themselves — their confidence, their communication, their presence of mind.
This is why personality development is a built-in part of our program, not an afterthought:
Many of our students tell us later that this part of the coaching changed them as people — not just as exam takers.
We have always believed that a family’s financial situation should not determine whether their child gets a shot at this dream. Our fee structure is honest and competitive — no hidden costs, no surprise charges.
We also offer merit-based and need-based scholarships. If your child has the potential but your family is facing financial pressure, speak to us. We will work something out.

Young Star Defence Academy started with a straightforward belief — that every child who wants to serve this nation deserves a real chance to get there. We run coaching programs for Sainik School, RIMC, RMS, Military Schools, and NDA from our centres in Amritsar, Chandigarh, Kapurthala, and Dehradun, and we now serve students across Fazilka district.
We do not measure our success by the number of students enrolled. We measure it by the ones who clear the exam, walk through the gates of a Sainik School, and come back years later in uniform to thank their parents — and sometimes us.
Is there a Sainik School in Fazilka?
There is no Sainik School in Fazilka itself. But Fazilka students can appear in the AISSEE and win admission to Sainik Schools anywhere in India. The closest one is Sainik School Kapurthala, which is in Punjab and is a popular choice for families from this region.
How early should my child start preparing?
For Class 6 admission, starting in Class 4 gives a comfortable preparation window. For Class 9 admission, we recommend starting no later than Class 7. Earlier preparation means less pressure and better results.
Can my child stay in your hostel if we are from Fazilka?
Yes, absolutely. We regularly accommodate students from Fazilka, Abohar, Jalalabad, and other nearby areas. The hostel has a structured routine that includes study time, physical training, meals, and rest — very similar to what students will experience in a Sainik School.
What if my child cannot travel daily for coaching?
Our online program is a strong alternative. Students get live classes, recorded sessions, regular mock tests, and personal mentor access — all from home. Several students from Fazilka district have cleared the AISSEE through our online program.
How do I find out about the fees?
Call us or come in for a free counselling session. We will walk you through the batch options, the schedule, and the fees honestly — and let you know if your child qualifies for any scholarship.
If your child has the dream of joining a Sainik School, the next step is simple — talk to us. We will tell you honestly where your child stands, what it will take to get them there, and how we can help.
We have helped hundreds of families from Punjab watch their children walk through Sainik School gates. We would love your family to be next.
