All 33 Sainik Schools established under the erstwhile pattern in the country, including the three Sainik Schools at Amethi, Jhansi and Mainpuri in Uttar Pradesh, are co-educational. Establishment of an all-girls Sainik School under the erstwhile pattern is not under consideration.
Under the initiative of setting up of 100 new Sainik Schools in partnership mode with NGOs/Private/State Government Schools in all State/UTs, there is no restriction for setting up of all-girls Sainik Schools. In this regard, one schoolย i.e.,ย Samvidย Gurukulamย Senior Secondary School, Mathura in Uttar Pradesh hasย been approved as an all-girls Sainik School.
