AISSEE Coaching FAQ — Your Questions Answered

AISSEE stands for All India Sainik School Entrance Examination. It's the entrance exam for admission into Sainik Schools across India. Conducted once a year for Class VI and Class IX admission. It tests Mathematics, English, IQ (Intelligence), and General Knowledge.

Very competitive. Around 2,00,000 students appear for the exam each year, and roughly 2,000 are selected — that's about a 1% selection rate. Without focused, exam-specific preparation, clearing the AISSEE is extremely difficult.

The exact date is announced by the National Testing Agency (NTA) each year. It's typically held between December and February. We prepare students throughout the year so they're ready well before the exam date.

For Class VI AISSEE: Mathematics (150 marks), Intelligence (50), Language (50), and General Knowledge (50) — totalling 300 marks across 125 questions. For Class IX AISSEE: Mathematics (200 marks), Intelligence (50), English (50), General Science (50), and Social Studies (50) — totalling 400 marks across 150 questions. The exam also tests speed, accuracy, and exam temperament — which is why generic school preparation isn't enough.

Yes. RMS (Rashtriya Military School) and RIMC (Rashtriya Indian Military College) are separate institutions with their own entrance exams. All three — Sainik School, RMS, and RIMC — prepare students for a career in the Indian Armed Forces. Anbaalaya coaches students for all three entrance exams.

Yes — when it's done right. Our online program is nothing like COVID-era video classes. It includes daily live classes (Complete Path), a personal mentor assigned to your child, and accountability staff who track attendance and test performance. If your child misses a class, we follow up — not you.

No. All primary teaching is done through live, interactive classes. Recorded lessons are only provided as a backup for revision. Your child participates in real-time, answers questions, and is tested during class.

Our accountability staff monitors every student's attendance and performance. If your child misses a class or skips a test, we reach out directly. Your child also has a personal mentor who keeps him engaged and motivated. You don't have to be the one pushing — we handle it.

The Foundation Path (₹17,000) offers weekly Sunday classes and 350+ practice tests — good for parents starting early or wanting structured weekend preparation. Foundation + Maths (₹25,000) adds daily Mon–Fri Maths sessions. The Complete Path (₹44,999) offers daily classes, personal mentor, accountability staff, 21-year PYQ breakdown, 25 mock tests, and a 30-day money-back guarantee — it's the full system for serious AISSEE preparation.

Yes. The Complete Path (₹44,999) comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied within the first 30 days, we'll refund every rupee. No questions asked. No other coaching centre in Tamil Nadu offers this.

Absolutely. Our campus has full CCTV coverage. Medical attention is immediate — if a child feels sick, they are taken to the nearest hospital in Udumalpet right away. Our staff provides caring attention during meals, and we handle homesickness with emotional support for both child and parent. We've been hosting children on our campus for 35 years.

Three healthy meals a day — breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The menu includes children's favourites and weekend biryani, all prepared in a hygienic kitchen. Dining halls are cleaned three times daily. Our staff sits with the children during meals to ensure everyone is eating well.

Homesickness is completely natural, especially in the first few weeks. Our staff has 35 years of experience helping children settle in. We handle it gently — with patience, emotional support, and regular communication with parents. Most children adjust within 2–3 weeks and start to thrive.

Yes. We have four scheduled parents' visit days throughout the year (July, September, October, December), from 9 AM to 5 PM. You can also call us anytime for updates on your child's progress.

No. Smartphones are not allowed on campus. Your child may bring a basic button phone with a charger for calling home. This is intentional — it removes distractions and helps your child focus fully on preparation and personal growth.

Yes. All residential programs offer a three-instalment payment plan: First instalment at admission, Second instalment around August–September, Third instalment around November–December. Online programs are typically paid in full at enrollment.

No. The residential program fee covers everything — accommodation, food, coaching, study materials, uniforms, laundry, haircut, and campus supervision. There are no surprise charges.

The Complete Path (₹44,999) has a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied within 30 days, you get a full refund.

Yes. Most of the students who join Anbaalaya are average. That's exactly who we focus on the most. Our teachers work with every child individually — building confidence, filling gaps, and strengthening weak areas step by step. Many of our highest scorers were average students when they first joined us.

Not at all. Starting early gives your child more time to build a strong foundation. Our Foundation Batch for Class IV and our online Foundation Path are designed specifically for early starters. The discipline and study habits your child builds now will make AISSEE preparation much easier later.

This is one of the most common concerns parents have — and it's completely valid. Most children who come to Anbaalaya have never lived away from home. Within 2–3 weeks, they settle in, make friends, and start enjoying the routine. Our staff provides motherly care and emotional support throughout. Many parents tell us their child comes home more confident, more independent, and more mature.

The AISSEE is not a school exam. It tests IQ patterns, Vedic speed, and question paper strategy — things most schools and parents aren't equipped to teach. Around 2,00,000 students compete for 2,000 seats. Children who prepare with a specialised coaching system have a significantly better chance.

Since 1991. That's over 35 years of continuous coaching for Sainik School, RMS, and RIMC entrance exams. We've trained over 3,000 students in that time.

1 in 4 AISSEE-selected students from Tamil Nadu comes from Anbaalaya. We have the highest selection rate in the state. Our 2025 batch alone had 25+ students who cleared the exam, with the top score being 283/300.
