Many students clear the AISSEE written exam but fail the medical test. The medical fitness test is the final hurdle before Sainik School admission. Here is a complete guide to help your child prepare.
Sainik School Medical Test: What is Checked

Common Reasons for Medical Rejection
1. Poor eyesight: Students who wear glasses may be rejected. Ensure your child has 6/6 vision or get eye check-up done early.
2. Underweight/overweight: BMI must be within the acceptable range. Consult a doctor if your child is underweight or overweight.
3. Flat foot: A common reason for rejection. Check your child's foot arch early.
4. Knock knees: Legs should be straight when standing. Knock knees can be corrected with exercises if caught early.
5. Dental issues: Major dental problems can lead to rejection. Get dental check-up done.
How to Prepare for Medical Test
1. Regular exercise: Ensure your child exercises daily — running, jumping, and outdoor sports.
2. Healthy diet: Balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, proteins, and milk. Avoid junk food.
3. Eye care: Limit screen time, encourage outdoor play, and get regular eye check-ups.
4. Dental care: Regular dental check-ups. Fix any dental issues before the medical test.
5. Height and weight: Monitor your child's height and weight. Ensure they are within the acceptable range for their age.
