Facilities Provided By Centurion Defence Academy
Working to win hearts, Centurion Defence Academy offers a novel combination of unparalleled facilities for its students. We know that books or lectures alone do not bring success; other assistance is much needed, and this is our approach to life at Centurion. We not only focus on honing the academic proficiency of our students but also on developing their overall personality traits. From well-equipped classrooms with the latest teaching technology, hostel and mess facilities, teachers’ support, regular counseling and motivation sessions, library, and extracurricular activities, to the GTO ground for SSB interview preparation, physical fitness, and sports activities, Centurion has everything available for the best defence exam preparation. Centurion Defence Academy understands the importance of a holistic environment and hence provides the following provisions for students:
Moral Teaching Aids + Best Suitable Infrastructure
Knowledge can be sustained only if gained in an effective learning atmosphere. Centurion Defence Academy provides a calm and peaceful environment with fully air-conditioned and fully furnished classrooms. We have the latest teaching tools available in our classrooms to make learning engaging and participatory. Our well-experienced and dedicated teachers employ the best teaching methodologies to help defence aspirants understand concepts with clarity and precision. Moreover, mere academic knowledge is insufficient, especially when it comes to defence exam preparation. Considering this point, Centurion Defence Academy imparts moral teaching to students along with academics for the development of a holistic personality and officer-like qualities (OLQs).
GTO Ground
Centurion’s name is synonymous with excellence in defence exam preparation, and so is our quality. We have India’s largest GTO training ground with 165+ obstacles for complete SSB preparation. Our GTO facilities include instructors and assessors who are DIPR-trained former defence officers and retired board members. Our GTO ground has the best structures suitable for all SSBs, whether you are preparing for the Army, Air Force, or Navy. We offer top-class obstacle military training, covering both indoor and outdoor aspects of the Group Testing Officer (GTO) tasks. Centurion’s GTO ground is an ideal solution for all outdoor obstacles, such as the progressive group task (PGT), snake race or group obstacle race, half group task (HGT), individual obstacles, command task, and final group task (FGT). Many of our recommended students from different boards have reported that the various structures and obstacles on our GTO ground are comparatively more challenging, hence, thereby ensuring candidates are physically and mentally prepared for the real SSB experience.
Online Lab Facility
Our online lab facility helps students access learning resources and study materials to enhance their preparation. Centurion Digital, our online learning platform, is the core of this technological assistance, helping our students take advantage of hybrid learning. At Centurion Defence Academy, you will find a unique treasure: a filtered question bank and weekly mock tests with immediate performance reports. Centurion Defence Academy maintains the username and password of each student, which include their attendance, receipts, mock tests attempted, results, and all other details. Our online lab provides all the facilities of a cyber library. Our research and development team is committed to delivering the latest and most reliable study materials to strengthen learning outcomes. Students also get to learn from their batchmates and fellow aspirants. This approach develops the feelings of cooperation and social adaptability and promotes both academic excellence and personality development. It is a part of our strategic planning to help students learn basic leadership traits while preparing for exams.
Sports Activities
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. True indeed! To keep its students physically fit and mentally agile, Centurion Defence Academy organizes various sports activities from time to time. An annual sports meet is also organized, where the hidden talents of the students are showcased, and there is healthy competition between our branches. We understand the selection parameters of the Indian Armed Forces and thus train our students accordingly. Sports activities are integral to these selection parameters in the armed forces, so we pay special attention to this aspect of holistic personality development. We maintain a conducive learning environment through such sports activities, thereby enabling our students to develop confidence, discipline, teamwork, physical health and strength, mental agility, and social cohesiveness. Sports activities help develop various officer-like qualities, making them an essential part of our course. This approach ensures that we achieve our goal of refining both academic and personality profiles of our students.
Library Facility
At Centurion Defence Academy, there is an easily accessible library with numerous informative books available for students, where they can study in peaceful surroundings. In addition to this, we also provide a digital library facility where students can use the internet and information technology to enhance their preparation.

In our library, students can access reference materials, previous question papers, newspapers, and other resources to strengthen their learning outcomes. The quiet environment in our library helps in maintaining focus and concentration. Regular updates ensure that the latest study materials are always available.
Activity Area
Not only sports but also interaction keeps you active. At Centurion, interactive sessions are organized at an all-India level between students and proficient personalities. We also organize various meet-up sessions where our previously recommended candidates and toppers come to the academy and interact with our students. We organize various activities for our students from time to time, such as during national days like Independence Day and Republic Day, important days related to the armed forces, and significant occasions related to festivals and cultural events. Physical fitness activities and environment conservation events are also part of our program. These activities help students learn various traits of officer-like qualities and develop their personality. In addition to these activities, workshops and seminars on leadership traits, teamwork, and effective communication are regularly conducted. Students participate in debates, quizzes, and group discussions to sharpen their analytical and verbal skills. By engaging in such diverse activities, students gain a well-rounded exposure to group dynamics and social behavior.

With separate hostels for boys and girls, Centurion ensures the safety and convenience of defence aspirants. Such an arrangement not only helps ensure privacy and security but also fosters a disciplined and respectful atmosphere. Probably the only coaching institute that provides food and lodging facilities, Centurion takes care of students’ stay as well. Hostels ranging in cost from Rs. 7,500 to Rs. 9,000 are available, along with the provision of AC/cooler, an attendance register, CCTV cameras, and an appropriate warden.

These activities not only enrich the cultural bonding of the academy but also nurture leadership, teamwork, and creativity among our students. By actively participating in these events, students enhance their social skills and build a holistic personality. In SSB, such a holistic personality is valued and this is the essence of our highest selection rate in defence exams. Centurion Defence Academy, being the best defence coaching institute in India, has a view that such experiences not only complement academic learning but also prepare students for the challenges they will face in their careers and beyond. We believe all such extra-curricular activities are essential to ensure that our students emerge as capable and confident individuals ready to serve the nation.
