The concept of Home State and Outside State is linked to the domicile of the candidate and is determined based on the location of the Sainik School opted by the candidate in their application.
- Home State: A candidate is considered to belong to the Home State if their state of domicile and the state where the Sainik School they opted for in their application is located are the same.
- Outside State: A candidate is considered to belong to the Outside State if their state of domicile and the state where the Sainik School they opted for in their application are different.
For example, if a candidate domiciled in the State of Gujarat opts for the Sainik School at Balachadi (Distt. Jamnagar, Gujarat), they are deemed to belong to the Home State of Gujarat for the purpose of admission. On the other hand, if a candidate domiciled in the State of Haryana opts for the Sainik School at Balachadi (Distt. Jamnagar, Gujarat), they are deemed to belong to the Outside State for the purpose of admission.
Note: The concept of Home State and Outside State may vary depending on the specific rules and guidelines of the Sainik Schools admission process.
