Trainees on the official list: 115 male, 60 female.

Status and counts as published in Khelo India — List of KISCEs (PDF).

Sourcing caveat: Same venue, two designations. Tamil Nadu's Khelo India State Centre of Excellence at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Chennai (boxing, athletics, fencing; 115 male / 60 female trainees) shares this campus with SDAT's own sports hostels there — the boys' hostel at JNS and the girls' hostel at JNIS, which we list separately with their published strength figures. It is one campus, not three institutions.

This academy does not publish whether it offers hostel or residential facilities. Ask the academy directly: its official website (https://kheloindia.gov.in).

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.

Age limit

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.
