Welcome to Indian Defence School – The Best Army Boarding School in India

Indian Defence School is a best army boarding school in Dehradun that combines CBSE academics with rigorous military-style discipline, physical training, and leadership development. We prepare cadets from Class IV to XII for prestigious defence institutions, with specialized coaching for RIMC and Sainik Schools. Our mission is to shape disciplined, academically strong, and patriotic future officers for the Indian Armed Forces.

We offer dedicated, result-oriented coaching programs for:

• RIMC (Rashtriya Indian Military College): Focused preparation for Class VIII entry (English, Mathematics, General Knowledge, Interview/Viva, and Physical/Medical fitness).
• Sainik Schools: Comprehensive coaching for Class VI and Class IX entrance exams (Mathematics, English, General Knowledge, Intelligence Test, and Physical Fitness). These run alongside our regular CBSE curriculum, giving residents a decisive edge in competitive entrances.

Admissions are open for boys (and as per latest norms, limited girls where applicable) from Class IV onwards. Eligibility aligns with RIMC/Sainik School age criteria (typically 10–12 years for Class VI, 11.5–13 for RIMC Class VIII, and 13–15 for Class IX). We also welcome students seeking a disciplined boarding environment even without immediate entrance exam goals. Final admission involves an entrance test, interview, and medical fitness.

• Fill out the enquiry/application form (online or on-campus).
• Appear for the school entrance test and interview.
• Offer of admission and fee payment. We provide transparent guidance and have limited seats for personalised attention. Scholarships are available for meritorious and defence-background students.

Our RIMC program features expert faculty (including ex-defence personnel and RIMC alumni), small batches, regular mock tests, previous-year papers, current affairs sessions, personality development, and intensive physical training (PT, obstacles, sports). It builds the exact skills needed for the highly competitive descriptive RIMC exam, viva voce, and medical test.

• RIMC is more selective (limited national seats, Class VIII entry only, higher academic and fitness standards) and serves as a direct feeder to NDA.
• Sainik Schools offer broader access (Class VI & IX) with strong NDA preparation over multiple years. We customize training accordingly while providing holistic development in both.

Our fees are competitive and value-driven for a premium residential defence school. They cover academics, boarding, meals, coaching, and facilities. Detailed structure and scholarship options (for meritorious, defence, or economically weaker students) are shared during counselling. Contact us for the latest details.

• Spacious, secure hostels with 24/7 supervision and medical care.

We follow the CBSE curriculum with experienced teachers emphasizing conceptual clarity and critical thinking. Parallel defence coaching includes daily PT, sports, leadership activities, and mock tests. Small batch sizes enable personalized monitoring and parent-teacher interactions.

We have a proven track record of selections in RIMC, Sainik Schools, RMS, and later NDA. Our alumni include serving officers in the Army, Air Force, and Navy. The disciplined environment and expert mentorship consistently produce confident leaders.

While our primary focus is defence preparation, we welcome all students who thrive in a disciplined, structured boarding environment. Many cadets develop interest in armed forces careers through our training.
