Sainik School vs RMS: is the day-to-day life really that different?

Both Sainik Schools and Rashtriya Military Schools follow a structured, disciplined boarding routine, but they are run by different bodies and differ in a few practical ways.

Sainik Schools are run by the Sainik Schools Society and are more directly oriented toward NDA preparation in later years. RMS follows the Public School Society model with a similar but not identical daily schedule.

For a Class 6 applicant, the day-to-day difference is smaller than the entrance preparation difference — both reward the same disciplined study habits.
