Sourcing caveat: One institution, two designations: Kerala's government sports school at Thiruvananthapuram is also the state's Khelo India State Centre of Excellence, under which the Khelo India list publishes athletics, judo and boxing with 104 male / 92 female trainees. The seven-sport list and the 390-student strength above are the school's own published figures.

Fees

No fee applies.

This is a government-funded centre. Selected athletes are not charged a training fee — boarding, lodging, coaching, diet and sports-science support are provided by the scheme. No fee schedule is published because none applies.

Getting in, not paying, is the barrier here: see the admission process below.

Admission process

  1. You cannot submit an open application. Places are filled by induction decided by the state centre together with SAI.
  2. The Khelo India list states it verbatim: “Induction of athletes in various KISCEs is under process. Indiution/weeding out of athletes is round-the-year activity for all KISCEs.” (spelling as printed in the PDF.)
  3. No application channel, trial date, fee or contact is published for any KISCE — so we publish none.
