Hello there,

Based on your son’s score of 258 out of 400 in the Sainik School Class 9 entrance exam and being from Uttarakhand home state, his eligibility for admission to Sainik School Ghorakhal depends on the cutoff for his category.

Generally, the cutoff marks for Uttarakhand home state vary each year and by category. A score of 258 is likely:

• Above the cutoff for SC and ST categories.

• Below the cutoff for General and Defence categories.

If your son belongs to SC or ST category, he has a good chance of admission. If he is in the General or Defence category, his score may be below the required cutoff.

Cutoffs change every year based on competition and seats, so it is best to confirm directly with the school’s admission office for the final decision.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
