Three official Sainik Schools, compared honestly, side by side.
Sainik School Chittorgarh and Sainik School Jhunjhunu in Rajasthan, and Sainik School Kunjpura in Haryana — one page, real facts, and a direct link to each school's own official website for anything you need to act on.
Why compare these three
All three are official Sainik Schools under the Ministry of Defence and the Sainik Schools Society — not private schools borrowing the name. They sit within reach of families across Rajasthan and Haryana, but differ in age, campus size, and how established their infrastructure is, which is worth knowing before you list a preference on the AISSEE form.
Admission to every one of them runs through the same national process: there's no separate application for a specific school beyond stating your preference. What differs school to school is the seat count, the campus itself, and practical questions like fees and facilities — which is what this page focuses on.

Frequently asked questions
Can I apply to more than one of these schools at once?
Yes — the AISSEE application lets you rank preferred Sainik Schools, so you can list Chittorgarh, Jhunjhunu and Kunjpura in your order of preference on a single application.
Which of the three has the longest track record?
Chittorgarh and Kunjpura were both established in 1961, giving them over six decades of history. Jhunjhunu is considerably newer, established in 2018.
Do all three follow the same curriculum?
Yes, all official Sainik Schools, including these three, follow the CBSE curriculum alongside NCC training and physical conditioning.
Where do I find the exact, current fee for each school?
Directly on that school's official website (linked in the comparison table above) or from its admission office — fees are revised periodically and third-party figures are often out of date.
