About the School

A new Sainik School in Rajasthan, built beside the Blue City

Sainik School Jodhpur is a fully residential, CBSE Sainik School in Rajasthan, close to the old walled city known across India as the "Blue City" for its sea of indigo-painted rooftops. It follows the same national framework as India's older Sainik Schools, widening access to disciplined, affordable, merit-based education for students of Rajasthan and the wider Marwar region.

"We ask three things of every cadet who passes through our gate: scholarship in the classroom, discipline on the ground, and character everywhere else." — Office of the Principal

As one of the newer additions to the Sainik School network, Jodhpur combines a modern CBSE campus with the traditional Sainik School routine — early morning PT, structured classroom hours, and a house system that puts senior cadets in charge of their juniors from the very first term.

Principal of Sainik School Jodhpur
Principal's Message
"Jodhpur's houses were painted blue one at a time, one family at a time, over centuries — and together they became a skyline people travel across the world to see. That is what we ask of a cadet here: build yourself with patience, and trust the skyline will take care of itself."
Principal, Sainik School Jodhpur M.A., M.Ed. · formerly of the Indian Army Education Corps

Sport & the Outdoors

Games are not a break from discipline — they teach it

Every cadet represents a sports house from their first term, and inter-house competition runs through the whole academic year.

Football & Athletics

A full-size ground for football and track events, used for the school's own athletics meet each winter.

Basketball & Volleyball

Hard-court facilities lit for evening practice after the day's academic sessions end.

NCC & Desert Endurance

NCC parades and endurance runs built for the arid Marwar terrain around the campus.

Swimming & Athletics Track

A supervised swimming pool and all-weather running track used for daily conditioning and inter-house meets.

The Blue City

A campus beside Rajasthan's sea of blue rooftops

Jodhpur's old town, painted storey upon storey in indigo blue, is one of India's most recognisable skylines. That same patient, layered discipline — building something worth keeping, one level at a time — is woven into everything we teach here.

Beyond Class XII

A direct line to the National Defence Academy

Sainik Schools were founded in 1961 for exactly this purpose — to widen the pool of candidates ready for the NDA and the officer cadre. Our senior cadets follow a coaching track built around that goal, though it is never the only path we prepare them for.
