Daily Routine
A daily routine in a Sainik School is meticulously structured to foster discipline, physical fitness, academic excellence, and mental robustness, aiming to prepare cadets for the National Defence Academy (NDA). The day begins very early, often with a wake-up call at 05:00 or 05:30 AM, and ends with lights out around 10:00–10:30
