Lieutenant Prince Raj, an alumnus of Sainik School, Kapurthala, has added another feather to his cap by securing the Silver Medal at the Indian Military Academy (IMA), Dehradun. This achievement comes a year after he topped his course at the National Defence Academy (NDA), Khadakwasla.
Prince Raj stood second in the order of merit of the Spring Term 2026 at the IMA. He was presented the Silver Medal by President Droupadi Murmu during the passing-out parade held at the academy on June 13. The President reviewed the parade comprising 515 cadets from the 158th Regular Course and 141st Technical Graduates’ Course, including nine women.
Prince was from the Sainik School’s 2022 batch and joined the NDA the same year as part of the 148th course. He was conferred the President’s Gold Medal for standing first at the NDA upon completion of the three-year course in May 2025. Thereafter, he proceeded to the IMA for the one-year pre-commission training.
