Overview
Sainik Awasiya Mahavidyalaya (SAM), Sallaghari, Bhaktapur, is one of several Sainik Mahavidyalayas that admit both military-family and civilian students. It takes new students into Grade XI under the National Examinations Board (NEB) through an entrance examination. The details below come from the 2083 BS (2026) admission notice as reported by Nepali education portals; the school's own website is a script-driven page that shows no readable content, so none of it is used here.

Who can apply
Applications are invited from eligible students in the military and non-military categories. The application needs the SEE grade sheet and admit card, so applicants are SEE candidates. Every candidate, including SEE graduates of a Sainik Mahavidyalaya, must sit the entrance examination and be selected. Reports say each year about 60% of Grade XI places go to children of serving and retired army personnel and 40% to civilians. Under the military quota, the concession applies to one child per couple for each level; a second child pays the full fee.
Streams offered
For 2083, Bhaktapur offered Science and Management in the day and morning shifts and Humanities in the day shift. The portals do not list the subjects taught in each stream; the notice says the school's notice board, Facebook page or website carry that information.
Selection process
The notice describes a written entrance examination held in person. Reports add that candidates must also pass an interview and a medical examination before admission. The sources did not publish the paper format, syllabus or marking scheme, so check the school's notice.
