Sainik School coaching in Dehradun at Dehradun Military Academy (DMA) prepares children for the All India Sainik Schools Entrance Examination (AISSEE) for admission to Class 6 and Class 9. The National Testing Agency (NTA) holds this exam for the Sainik Schools Society, Ministry of Defence, for the 33 original Sainik Schools and the new Sainik Schools run in partnership mode.
Our classes build strong basics in maths, language, reasoning and general knowledge, with regular OMR practice so your child feels calm on exam day. Daily physical training and a caring routine build confidence and discipline.
A Sainik School seat is a big step for a young child, and the right start matters. At DMA, children study in batches of about 40, so teachers notice who needs extra help. Mock tests follow the AISSEE pattern, and doubt sessions clear weak areas early. Parents receive a monthly progress report (SPR), and our campus near Mall Road, Mussoorie gives children a safe place to grow.
AISSEE rewards children who understand concepts and answer quickly. Our teaching starts with the basics and moves step by step to exam-level questions, with notes and practice papers for every topic. Children also do daily physical training and sports such as athletics, boxing and yoga, and retired defence officers give motivational talks about life in uniform.
Share your child’s details and the class you are aiming for. Our counsellor will call you to explain the course, the hostel and the next steps.
Dehradun Military Academy (DMA) is a defence-exam preparation institute led by Director Mr. Sandeep Tamta. For Sainik School aspirants, we bring teaching, testing and a healthy routine together.
Young children learn best when someone keeps a close eye on their progress. Our teachers track each child’s mock test scores subject by subject and plan extra practice where marks drop. Doubt sessions let every child ask questions freely, and notes are short and clear. Parents receive a monthly progress report (SPR), and our counsellors are a call or WhatsApp message away.
Families choose DMA because preparation here is about more than one exam. Batches of about 40 keep attention personal, and OMR mock tests make the real exam feel familiar. Mentors include DIPR-qualified, retired ex-SSB assessors, and retired defence officers give guest lectures. Daily physical training, 10+ sports academies and safe, separate hostels with ex-army wardens complete the picture.
Sainik Schools look for children who are ready for a disciplined residential life. At DMA, each day includes physical training, classes, sports and self-study at set times. Children learn to keep their things in order, respect their teachers and work as a team. Regular tests teach them to stay calm under time pressure, and they grow more confident and independent.
Fees depend on the course, class and hostel. Our counsellor shares the current fee structure.
A balanced plan of study, OMR practice, sports and care that prepares children for AISSEE step by step.
AISSEE Written Exam Preparation
Classes in maths, language, intelligence and GK, plus science and social science for Class 9, with notes and practice papers.
Speed and Accuracy Practice (OMR)
Timed papers on real OMR sheets teach children to manage the clock and fill the OMR sheet neatly and correctly.
All-round Personal Development
Daily physical training, 10+ sports academies such as athletics, boxing, table tennis and yoga, and a well-used library help children grow in body and mind.
Doubt Sessions for Better Understanding
Regular doubt sessions let every child ask questions freely, so no topic is left half understood before the next test.
Safe Hostel and Mess for Young Students
Young students live in separate boys’ and girls’ hostels under ex-army wardens, with 24×7 CCTV, an in-house nurse, a hospital tie-up and a fixed weekly meal plan.
