==Campus==
The Sainik School campus is located away from hustle & bustle of the city life on an area of about 280 acre on Purulia-Ranchi road.<ref name="ssp-loc">{{cite web|url=http://www.sainikschoolpurulia.com/location.htm |title=Location |publisher=SainikSchoolPurulia |access-date=2012-06-01}}</ref> Sainik School Purulia is well connected with the different parts of the country both by Rail & Road. The school is 5 km from Purulia Bus Stand and 8 km from Purulia Junction railway station.<ref name="ssp-loc"/> The school has a helipad of its own.

==Extracurricular activities==
Clubs for the students include English, Bengali, Hindi, Literary & Editorial club, Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Biology, Computers, Geography, Social Service, Library, Art, Craft, Dramatics & music, Astronomy, Photography, Nature Study, Yoga etc.<ref name="ssp-fac">{{cite web|url=http://www.sainikschoolpurulia.com/facilities.htm |title=Sainik School Purulia |publisher=Sainik School Purulia |access-date=2012-06-01}}</ref>

==Admission==
Boys are admitted to Class Six and Nine. An All India Sainik Schools Entrance Examination is held annually, usually in February. There is a 25% quota for defence candidates, and 15% and 7.5% respectively to SC and ST candidates.<ref name="quota">{{cite web|url=http://www.sainikschoolpurulia.com/admission.htm |title=SainkSchoolPurulia - Admission |publisher=Sainikschoolpurulia.com |access-date=2012-06-01}}</ref> 33% may come from other states than West Bengal. The school terms are from 1 April to 31 March.

==Vacations==
Cadets are provided with 70 days official vacations.

==Scholarship==
The State Government awards few scholarships on merit-cum-means basis. In the case of those getting a full scholarship, fees in full, together with clothing and money are paid by the Government. However, the parents' income criteria are very stringent and very few people actually qualify for those slabs. For many students, particularly from other states, there is no scholarship available. Ministry of defence provides scholarship to the wards of serving/ retired JCOs and NCOs. In addition to it, all the cadets are also provided Central assistance <ref name="ssp-school">{{cite web|url=http://www.sainikschoolpurulia.com/scholarship.htm |title=SainkSchoolPurulia - Scholarship |publisher=Sainikschoolpurulia.com |access-date=2012-06-01}}</ref>

==Management==
The Sainik Schools are managed by a Society named Sainik School Society<ref name="sss"/> which is registered under the Societies Registration Act (XXI of 1860). A Board of Governors that functions under the Chairmanship of the Defence Minister, is the Chief Executive Body of the Sainik Schools Society. The Board of Governors meets at least once a year. The school has a Local Board of Administration for overseeing the functioning of the school and its finances.

The Chief Minister or the Education Minister of the state are among the members of the Board of Governors. An officer of the Ministry of Defence is nominated to supervise and co-ordinate the functioning of the school and functions as the Honorary Secretary of the Sainik Schools Society. The Honorary Secretary is assisted by officers and staff of the Ministry of Defence. This includes two inspecting officers of the rank of Colonel or equivalent.
