Last verified: 26 October 2026. The school facts below — Rewa’s 1962 founding, its 260-acre campus, CBSE affiliation and Classes 6–12 — are CONFIRMED from Careers360’s school profile. The AISSEE pattern facts (marks, ages, quotas) follow the established AISSEE framework used across our guides; the AISSEE 2027 bulletin itself is still awaited, so 2027 specifics are EXPECTED until it appears. The annual-fee figures conflict across secondary sources and are labelled reported wherever they appear.

Parents searching for “Sainik Schools in Madhya Pradesh” usually expect a list. The honest answer is shorter than that: Madhya Pradesh has one school under the Sainik Schools Society — Sainik School Rewa. It is not a new school and not a franchise. Founded in 1962, it is among the oldest Sainik Schools in the country, on a 260-acre campus in Rewa (PIN 486001), affiliated to CBSE, teaching Classes 6 to 12 in English medium, with hostels, a library, laboratories, a gymnasium, sports facilities and NCC on campus.
That single-school fact shapes everything else in this guide. There is no second MP school to use as a backup choice inside the state. An MP family applies to Rewa through AISSEE, and — because the AISSEE counselling system lets candidates list preferences across schools — can also list schools in neighbouring states as lower preferences. But the home-state advantage, explained below, only applies at Rewa.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| School | Sainik School Rewa, Rewa, Madhya Pradesh — 486001 |
| Founded | 1962 |
| Campus | 260 acres |
| Board and medium | CBSE, English medium |
| Classes | 6 to 12 |
| Admission route | AISSEE (NTA), Class 6 and Class 9 entry |
| Boys and girls | Both admitted; girls under the 10% pattern |
| Official website | sainikschoolrewa.ac.in |
| Home-state quota | 67% Madhya Pradesh, 33% other states |
Admission to Rewa is through the All India Sainik Schools Entrance Examination (AISSEE), conducted by the National Testing Agency. Class 6 entry is for children currently in Class 5, aged 10–12 years as of 31 March 2027; Class 9 entry is for children in Class 8, aged 13–15 years as of 31 March 2027. The written paper carries 300 marks for Class 6 and 400 marks for Class 9, with no negative marking, followed by e-counselling, document verification and a medical examination.
The reservation pattern is where MP domicile pays off. 67% of seats go to candidates from the home state — Madhya Pradesh, in Rewa’s case — and 33% to candidates from other states. Within that split, the standard pattern reserves 15% for SC, 7.5% for ST and 27% for OBC-NCL candidates, with a defence-category share of the remaining seats and 10% of seats for girls. That is why the domicile certificate matters so much for an MP family: it is the document that puts your child in the 67% pool rather than the far more competitive 33% pool. Our state-wise domicile certificate guide walks through the MP process, and our caste certificate guide covers the category document that must match it.
One caution on documents: the AISSEE 2027 bulletin has not been released yet, so the dates, application fee (Rs 850 for General/OBC/Defence and Rs 700 for SC/ST in the 2026 cycle) and centre list below are EXPECTED from the last cycle, not confirmed for 2027. Re-check them the day the bulletin drops rather than trusting any coaching-site date in the meantime.
Here is where parents get tripped up, so we will be blunt: published fee figures for Rewa do not agree with each other. One secondary fee compilation lists Rewa at about Rs 1,15,698 per year; Careers360’s 2026 fee structure lists it at about Rs 1,58,381. Both cannot be the current figure, and neither is the school’s own notice. Treat any single number quoted online as reported, and budget on the higher end until the school’s own prospectus or fee notice confirms the figure for 2027–28.
What is not in doubt is that the fee covers tuition plus boarding, lodging, uniform, books and miscellaneous charges, and that scholarships and fee concessions exist for eligible categories — our fee-concession guide explains the income-linked slabs. If the fee is a stretch, apply for the concession in parallel with admission, not after the joining letter arrives.
| Your situation | What Rewa means for you |
|---|---|
| MP domicile, child in Class 5 or 8 | Your best-value target: you compete in the 67% home-state pool at the state’s only Society school |
| MP domicile, but Rewa is far from home | Boarding is the point of the school — distance matters less than at a day school, but visit once before counselling if you can |
| Other-state family eyeing Rewa | You compete in the 33% pool, so the merit bar is higher; list Rewa alongside your own home-state school |
| Girl candidate | Rewa admits girls; apply under the girls’ quota pattern and read our first girl cadets guide for what the experience actually looks like |
Earlier cycles have reported Bhopal, Gwalior, Jabalpur and Rewa as the AISSEE centres in Madhya Pradesh. That list is reported, not confirmed for 2027 — centre lists change between bulletins, so confirm it in the 2027 bulletin and choose the centre closest to home rather than the one nearest the school. The centre is where the exam happens; the school is where your child would live.
