Revenue model

1. Coaching Programme Fees: YSDA charges fees for its Sainik School (AISSEE), RIMC, RMS, and NDA coaching programmes. Fees vary by course, duration (6 months to 2 years), and delivery mode (residential/hostel, day scholar, or online). Installment payment options are available. The residential/hostel mode includes both coaching fees and boarding charges. Scholarships (25% to 100% fee waiver) are applied before final fee calculation based on scholarship assessment test results.
2. CBSE Schooling on Campus: YSDA operates a CBSE-affiliated school on its Amritsar campus (Class 4–12), allowing students to receive regular schooling alongside defence exam preparation. This integrated offering generates schooling fees in addition to coaching programme fees, creating a bundled revenue stream for students enrolled in the residential programme.
3. Study Materials and Test Series: Physical and digital study materials, practice papers, mock test booklets, and recorded sessions are provided to enrolled students as part of their programme. While the primary business model bundles these with coaching fees, individual sale of study materials to non-enrolled students may also generate supplementary revenue.
