Warning: Fake Medical Calls for Sainik School 2026 — Don't Fall for Scams

Agarwal ji called me on a Monday morning. Genuinely shaken.

"Sharma ji, I got a call yesterday. The man said he was from Sainik School Chittorgarh. Said my son has been shortlisted for medical examination. He asked me to pay ₹3,500 as medical processing fee online to confirm the slot. He had my son's name, roll number, everything. I almost paid. Something felt off so I called you first."

I told him immediately — don't pay a single rupee. That was a scam.

He went quiet for a moment. "But how did they have the roll number?"

That's the part that makes these scams so convincing. And that's exactly why parents fall for them every single year.

Why This Scam Works So Well

AISSEE results are public. Roll numbers, names, scores — all visible on the NTA portal after results are declared. Anyone can access this information. Scammers download result data, identify students who scored well enough to realistically expect a medical call, and target those families specifically.

When a caller says "your son Rahul Kumar, roll number 24XXXXXX, has been shortlisted for Sainik School Chittorgarh medical examination" — it sounds completely legitimate. They have the right name. The right number. The right school your family had in mind.

Parents are already in a heightened emotional state after results. They're waiting for communication from schools. They want good news. A call that sounds like good news, with accurate details, in that emotional window — it's designed to bypass rational thinking.

And the amount asked is always believable. ₹2,500 to ₹5,000. Not a huge number. Feels like a real processing fee. Parents pay before they think to verify.

Understanding common admission mistakes parents should avoid starts with knowing that no legitimate part of Sainik School admission ever requires payment to a private number or account.

How To Identify a Fake Medical Call

Red flag 1: They ask for money

This is the single biggest giveaway. Sainik Schools do not call parents to collect medical examination fees over phone. Any fees are collected through official channels — demand draft, school fee counter, or official payment portal. Never through a phone call asking for NEFT, UPI, or GPay transfer.

If someone calls and asks you to pay anything — processing fee, slot booking fee, medical confirmation fee, courier fee for medical letter — it's a scam. End the call.

Red flag 2: The call comes from a private mobile number

Official communication from Sainik Schools comes through post, official email IDs, or registered institutional numbers. A call from a random 10-digit mobile number claiming to be from school administration is almost always fake.

Red flag 3: They create urgency

"You have only 2 hours to confirm the slot." "If payment is not done today, your son's medical seat gets cancelled." "This is the last chance."

Legitimate government processes don't work this way. Sainik Schools give parents proper notice periods — days, not hours. Urgency is a manipulation tactic. Real institutions don't pressure you into immediate payment.

Red flag 4: They ask for banking details or OTP

Any caller asking for OTP, CVV, bank account number, or net banking credentials is a fraud. No exceptions. No legitimate school, government body, or NTA representative will ever ask for this.

Red flag 5: Details feel right but something is off

Scammers have your name and roll number. But they often get other details wrong — wrong school name, wrong dates, or they fumble when you ask specific questions about the school or process. If anything feels inconsistent, stop the call and verify independently before doing anything.

What Legitimate Sainik School Medical Communication Actually Looks Like

Real medical examination communication from Sainik Schools arrives like this:

Official letter by post: School sends a physical letter to your registered address with date, time, venue, and instructions for medical examination. It has school letterhead, principal's signature, and official stamp.

Email from school's official ID: Communication may also come via email from the school's official email address — typically a government or NIC domain, not Gmail or Yahoo.

AISSAC portal notification: After accepting your allotment on AISSAC portal, the school contacts you through the registered details on your application. Check your registered email and phone regularly.

Direct call from school landline: Some schools call from their official landline number to confirm attendance. You can verify this number by searching the school's official contact details on sainikschool.ncog.gov.in or the official NTA AISSEE website.

None of these legitimate channels ask for payment. None of them create artificial urgency. None of them ask for sensitive financial information.

Real Stories From Last Season

Story 1:

A parent from Lucknow received a call three days after AISSEE results. Caller had son's exact name, roll number, and mentioned Sainik School Lucknow specifically. Asked for ₹4,000 as "medical slot confirmation fee" via Google Pay. Parent paid. Called school next day to confirm the slot. School had no record of such a call. Money gone.

Story 2:

A parent from Rajasthan got a WhatsApp message with a PDF that looked like an official Sainik School medical call letter. Had school logo, formatting that looked official, and a QR code for "fee payment." The QR code led to a payment page. Parent nearly scanned it. Their child's coaching teacher spotted the fake logo and stopped them in time.

Story 3 — The one that ended well:

Agarwal ji. The parent I mentioned at the start. He felt something was off and called before paying. Saved ₹3,500. More importantly, he didn't give his banking details to a fraudster.

The difference between these three outcomes was one thing — whether the parent paused to verify before acting.

What To Do If You Receive a Suspicious Call

Step 1: Don't pay. Don't share any details.

The moment someone asks for money or banking information on a call about Sainik School medical — stop. Don't continue the conversation. Don't explain yourself. Just end the call.

Step 2: Verify directly with the school

Find the official phone number of the allotted school from sainikschool.ncog.gov.in. Call them directly. Ask if they have scheduled your child's medical examination and whether they made any such call.

Step 3: Check AISSAC portal

Log in to your AISSAC account. All official communication about your allotment status, document verification, and medical examination will reflect on your portal dashboard or come to your registered email.

Step 4: Report the fraud

If you've received a fraudulent call, report it. National Cyber Crime Helpline: 1930. You can also file a complaint at cybercrime.gov.in. Reporting helps authorities track these operations and protect other families.

Step 5: Warn other parents

Share what happened in your parent groups. Not to cause panic — but because the next parent might not have your presence of mind. These scams spread because they're rarely talked about openly.

Why Scammers Target Sainik School Families Specifically

Defence school admissions involve a lot of post-result anxiety. Parents are waiting for medical calls. They know a call is coming at some point. They're primed to believe it when it arrives.

The admission process also involves multiple steps — document verification, medical examination, fee payment — so a request for payment doesn't seem completely out of place to an uninformed parent.

And the amounts asked are always small enough that parents think "even if something goes wrong, it's not a huge loss." That thinking is exactly what scammers count on.

The complete AISSEE e-counselling and admission process has zero steps where a private caller is supposed to collect money from you. If you know the process thoroughly, scams become obvious immediately.

What Sainik Study Does To Help

We brief every family we work with about these scams before results even come out. Not after someone has already paid. Before.

For families navigating the post-result process — Sainik Study coaching is here to guide you through every stage, including helping you identify what's legitimate and what isn't.

Bottom Line

Fake medical calls for Sainik School 2026 are real and active. Scammers use publicly available result data to target families by name and roll number.

No legitimate Sainik School process requires payment via phone call. No official communication asks for OTP or banking details.

Red flags: payment demand, private mobile number, artificial urgency, requests for sensitive information.

Verify everything directly through official school contact numbers found on sainikschool.ncog.gov.in.

Report fraud to 1930 or cybercrime.gov.in.

And tell other parents. The more families know about this, the fewer people lose money to it.
