Admission Documents
Every certificate, photo spec and copy-count — plus the two documents that always arrive late from a state office, and the order to request them in.
The Free Library
Everything we hand across the table, for free.
Sample handbook chapters. The checklists our mentors run before every board. A twelve-month calendar. Parent guides that make admission season survivable. Written for RIMC, RMS and Sainik School families — and given away, because a prepared child is the point. Not a paywall.
What is inside
Eight shelves. Nothing behind a paywall.
Every item was written for a real Samvad student before it was published. Nothing licensed. Nothing scraped. Nothing that assumes you already know how these selections work.
App Downloads
iOS and Android — courses, the daily GK capsule, the fitness tracker, mock board bookings. Handbooks download for offline reading. Hostels have patchy signal; we planned for that.
See what is inside the app →Free PDFs
Eight print-ready A4 documents — written prep, the viva, fitness, paperwork. Print, punch, file. Most families keep one ring binder per child through the season.
Jump to the download list →Sample Handbooks
Opening chapters of the RIMC and RMS Handbooks — pattern decoded, marks mapped, and the six questions every board opens with. Read it as a parent first. Then discuss it with the child.
Read a sample chapter →Checklists
Six one-page lists our mentors actually run — documents, interview day, medicals, packing, the parent briefing, revision. Made to be ticked with a pen. Not admired on a screen.
See all six checklists →Parent Guides
What to say the night before a board. How to read a rejection without breaking a ten-year-old. What boarding life costs — in money, and in distance. For parents only.
Open the parent guide →Interview Worksheets
The Personal Information Questionnaire our mentors use on real mock boards — including the awkward follow-ups. Your child fills it in. You check it for honesty. The answers become the spine of the interview.
Download the worksheet →Preparation Timelines
Twelve months, mapped — what to do in month nine, and what to ignore until month three. A wall poster for the study table. A planner for the family diary.
View the 12-month calendar →Daily GK Capsule Archive
The capsules we publish every morning — defence, polity, geography, sport, and what a viva board is likely to raise. Two hundred words a day. Roughly what a twelve-year-old will actually retain.

Preparation timelines
Twelve months, mapped honestly.
Most families begin too broadly and panic too late. This calendar is built backwards from the paper date — so fitness, GK and interview practice peak together, not against each other.
Starting late? Compress the first two phases. Keep the last three intact. The viva and the medical do not care when you began.

Months 12 – 10 · Foundation
Diagnose before you drill
A baseline paper. An honest fitness test. A reading habit built from scratch. Fitness Week 1 starts now — the body needs the longest runway of anything on this list.
Months 9 – 7 · Syllabus
Cover the ground once, properly
The full syllabus, end to end — at a pace that allows revision, not rescue. Grammar daily. Maths in concept blocks. The static GK that never changes.
Months 6 – 5 · Speed
Where the clock is won
Timed sectionals. Ten years of past papers. Most children lose on pace, not syllabus. This phase fixes that — and cannot be borrowed from any other.
Months 4 – 3 · The Viva
Learning to be interviewed
The PIQ is filled in. Hobbies become genuine, not declared. The first mock board is faced. Current affairs stop being a list — and become a conversation your child can hold.
Months 2 – 1 · Full Dress
Mocks, medicals and paperwork
A full paper every week. A second and third board. Medicals checked early — vision, dental, weight, flat feet. Cheaper to fix now than to appeal later.
Final Fortnight · Taper
Sharpen, do not cram
Revision capsules only. Fitness halved. Sleep protected. Bags packed a week early. The last fourteen days should lower the temperature in the house — not raise it.
Checklists
Six lists that stop the avoidable losses.
Nobody fails an entrance over a missing attestation. Plenty of families lose a fortnight to one. Each list fits one side of A4.
Interview Day
What to wear, carry, and when to arrive. How to enter a room with three officers in it. The five answers to have ready before the door opens. And what not to do: rehearsed speeches, borrowed opinions, invented hobbies.
Fitness & Medical Test
Fitness standards by age, plus the full medical screen — vision, dental, hearing, weight, flat feet. Check these twelve months out. Not twelve days out.
Boarding Packing List
Term one, itemised — uniform, kit, bedding, name-marking, and the small comforts that make the first fortnight bearable. Written with what house masters actually allow.
Parent Briefing
The conversation to have before the season starts — what you're funding, who handles forms, who handles morale. And the sentence you will both say if the result doesn't arrive. Agree it in writing, while everyone is calm.
Written Exam Revision
A subject-by-subject sweep for the final month, one tick box per topic — and a deliberate blank column for the topics you've chosen to abandon.
One form, one pack
Tell us where to send it.
No download button — deliberately. The library is one pack, easier kept in an inbox than a downloads folder. Fill this in; all eight PDFs — 117 pages — arrive within minutes.
Tell us your child's class, and the covering note points at the right entrance and timeline. Your details stay with Samvad. We do not sell lists.

APPThe Samvad App
The library, updated every morning.
The PDFs are a snapshot. The app is the living version — a fresh capsule each morning, the full course library, the fitness tracker, mock boards booked in two taps. Handbooks work offline. At a hostel, that is the whole point.
Beyond the library
A handbook prepares. A mentor selects.
Download everything. Use all of it. You will still reach the one question no PDF can answer: how does this child sound in front of a board? That answer takes twenty minutes — with a mentor who has sat on one.
