• NTA will release code-wise provisional answer keys for Class VI (Set A/B/C/D) and Class IX (Set A/B/C/D) on the official AISSEE portal after the examination concludes.
• Before the answer key is published, NTA releases the OMR response sheet — download it first to verify that the system correctly captured your responses on exam day.
• The objection/challenge window is expected to remain active for 2–3 days; a non-refundable fee of INR 200/- per question challenged is payable online through the NTA portal.
• The AISSEE 2027 final answer key — used to compute the official result — is expected in February–March 2027 after all valid challenges are reviewed by subject experts.

You can use the final AISSEE answer key 2027 to calculate your expected marks and estimate your rank across all Sainik Schools before the result is officially declared.

In 2026, over 1.8 lakh students registered for AISSEE across Class VI and Class IX, competing for seats across 33+ Sainik Schools nationwide.

• Visit the official AISSEE website at aissee.nta.ac.in.
• On the homepage, click the link titled "AISSEE 2027 Provisional Answer Key" once it is activated (will appear after the January 2027 examination).
• Log in using your Application Number and Date of Birth / Password.

Details Mentioned on AISSEE Answer Key 2027

The AISSEE 2027 official answer key PDF released by NTA will contain the following information:

• Examination name – All India Sainik Schools Entrance Examination (AISSEE) 2027
• Class of admission (Class VI or Class IX)
• Question paper set / booklet code (Set A, B, C, or D)
• Subject-wise question numbers with correct option codes as determined by NTA
• Total number of questions in each section
• Date of examination and paper timing

Always use the booklet code printed on your question paper — cross-checking your responses against a different set’s answer key will produce an incorrect score estimate.

How to Challenge the AISSEE Answer Key 2027?

If you believe any answer in the AISSEE 2027 provisional answer key is incorrect, you can formally challenge it during the objection window. NTA’s subject experts review all submitted challenges; if a challenge is found valid, the final answer key is updated accordingly and results are recalculated using the corrected key.

• Select the question number, choose your proposed correct answer, and upload supporting evidence (relevant textbook page, NCERT reference, official publication, etc.).
• Pay the non-refundable challenge fee of INR 200/- per question via the online payment gateway on the NTA portal.
• Review your submission carefully, then click "Submit" to file the objection.
• Download and save the confirmation receipt for your records.

Note: The challenge fee of INR 200/- per question is non-refundable regardless of whether NTA accepts or rejects your objection.

How to Calculate Your Score Using the AISSEE Answer Key 2027

Once the AISSEE 2027 answer key and your OMR response sheet are both available, you can estimate your score by comparing the two documents question by question using the official marking scheme.

• Download your AISSEE 2027 OMR response sheet and the code-wise answer key that matches your booklet set (A, B, C, or D).
• For each question where your recorded answer matches the official answer key: add +3 marks.
• For each incorrect answer (your response does not match the key): deduct 1 mark.
• For every question left unanswered — no option bubbled on the OMR: no marks added or deducted (0 marks).
• Apply the formula: Total Score = (Correct Answers × 3) – (Incorrect Answers × 1)

Note: Only the official AISSEE Result 2027 published by NTA contains the final verified score; the estimate you calculate using the answer key is indicative only and may differ if any answers are revised in the final key.
