AISSEE Application Form 2027: Registration Expected October 2026, Eligibility and How to Apply

The All India Sainik Schools Entrance Examination (AISSEE) is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on behalf of the Sainik Schools Society for admission to Class 6 and Class 9 in Sainik Schools across India. The AISSEE 2027 application form is expected to release in October 2026 at exams.nta.ac.in/sainik-school-society/ — NTA has not yet officially announced the 2027 registration schedule as of August 2026. Based on the AISSEE 2026 cycle, the application fee is ₹850 for General/OBC/Defence students and ₹700 for SC/ST students, with a short correction window of approximately 3 days available after registration closes.

What is AISSEE Application Form 2027?

The AISSEE 2027 application form is the official online gateway for students seeking admission to Class 6 and Class 9 in Sainik Schools across India for the academic year 2027–28. NTA releases the form at its official portal each cycle — typically in October — and closes registration within 4–5 weeks. You will need to complete new registration, fill personal and academic details, upload scanned documents and a left-hand thumb impression, and pay the exam fee online to submit a valid application.

AISSEE is conducted in pen-and-paper mode across 180+ cities and 400+ exam centres nationwide. The Class 6 paper is offered in 13 regional languages, while the Class 9 paper is in English only. Admission is purely merit-based — only the top-ranked students in each state and category proceed to the medical examination and document verification stages. Both boys and girls are eligible to apply, a policy in place since the 2021 academic session that has steadily expanded participation across the country.

AISSEE Registration Trends — Last 5 Years

AISSEE participation peaked at approximately 2,09,877 students in 2025, driven by the expansion of the Sainik School network from 33 to 71+ institutions and the growing intake of girl students following the 2021 inclusion policy. A moderation to approximately 1,78,000 in 2026 followed tighter age-eligibility enforcement under revised NTA guidelines. The 2023 figure of 1,79,809 is confirmed from an official PIB press release announcing the result. For AISSEE 2027, participation is expected to remain in the 1.8–2.1 lakh range as awareness in tier-2 and tier-3 cities deepens. NTA does not publicly disclose cycle-wise registered-versus-appeared breakdowns; only appeared figures are officially reported.
