How to Apply for AISSEE 2027 Online: Step-by-Step

The AISSEE registration has nine distinct steps. Keep all scanned documents and a working payment method ready before you start — the process can be paused and resumed, but completing it in one session avoids technical errors.

  1. Visit the official NTA portal: Go to exams.nta.nic.in/sainik-school-society/ and look for the active AISSEE 2027 registration link.
  2. Click New Registration: Read all on-screen instructions carefully, then enter the student’s name, date of birth, parent’s email address and mobile number. Click Submit.
  3. Save your Application Number: NTA sends an application number and password to the registered email and mobile. Note these immediately — you need them to log in at every subsequent step.
  4. Log in to the application portal: Use the application number and the password received via SMS/email to access the application dashboard.
  5. Fill in the application form: Enter the student’s personal details (name, gender, date of birth, category), parent or guardian details and your choice of Sainik School(s). Select Class 6 or Class 9 as applicable.
  6. Upload required documents: Upload the passport-size photograph, student’s signature and supporting certificates in the format and size specified in the information bulletin.
  7. Pay the application fee: Proceed to the payment page and pay online using a debit card, credit card, net banking or UPI. The fee is non-refundable.
  8. Final Submit: Review all filled details carefully. Click Final Submit only when you are sure everything is correct — changes after this are not allowed except during the correction window.
  9. Download the confirmation page: Save and print the application confirmation and fee receipt. This serves as proof of successful registration.

Important: Each student can submit only one AISSEE 2027 application. Duplicate submissions lead to cancellation of all forms and possible disqualification.
