Founded by veterans, driven by purpose — creating India's next generation of defence officers since 2010.
SSB Elite Academy was born out of a simple but powerful belief: every aspirant who dreams of serving the nation deserves world-class guidance. Founded in 2010 by Col. (Retd.) Rajiv Khanna, the academy started in a small room in Pune with 12 students and one unwavering mission.
Today, we've grown to a fully equipped campus with dedicated GTO grounds, psychological test labs, and a faculty of 12 expert trainers — all ex-defence personnel and certified psychologists. Our alumni wear stars on their shoulders across the Indian Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard.
We don't just coach — we transform. By developing the 15 Officer Like Qualities in every aspirant, we ensure that our students don't just clear SSB; they become the leaders the board is looking for.
