Who can apply
These rules come from the AISSEE-2026 bulletin; the 2027 bulletin is not out yet. CLASS 6: age 10-12 as on 31 March of the admission year. For 2026-27 that meant born 01-04-2014 to 31-03-2016. If the rule is unchanged, 2027-28 would expect about 01-04-2015 to 31-03-2017 (not yet confirmed). Girls are eligible for Class 6. CLASS 9: age 13-15 as on 31 March (for 2026-27, born 01-04-2011 to 31-03-2013). The student must have passed Class 8 from a recognised school by admission. Girls are admitted subject to vacancies. To qualify, a student needs at least 25% in each subject and 40% overall. There is no minimum for SC/ST in existing Sainik Schools, but New Sainik Schools apply the minimum to everyone. Existing Sainik Schools keep 67% of seats for the home state and 33% for other states. Within those, SC gets 15%, ST 7.5% and OBC-NCL (central list) 27%. Of the remaining seats, 25% go to wards of defence personnel and ex-servicemen. New Sainik Schools fill at least 40% of seats from their own students and up to 60% from the open AISSEE merit list. Fee in 2026: Rs 850 (General, defence wards, OBC-NCL) or Rs 700 (SC/ST).
When it happens
The next cycle is AISSEE 2027 for 2027–28 admissions. A proposed date of 31 January 2027 has been reported from NTA's calendar, but the calendar PDF could not be re-read and the AISSEE page checked still displays the 2026 cycle. Treat 31 January as provisional, not a confirmed final date. No 2027 application window, final bulletin or admit-card date was verified. Check NTA's public notices before applying; the 2026 exam and its deadlines are past. Status checked 1 November 2026; times are IST.
How to register
Apply online on the NTA AISSEE website once the bulletin is released. Fill the form, upload the photo, signature and certificates, and pay the fee online. Then print the confirmation page.
