AISSEE Result 2027: Expected February 2027 at exams.nta.nic.in, Counselling, Cutoff and Merit List

AISSEE Result 2027 will be declared by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on the official portal exams.nta.nic.in/sainik-school-society/. The exam is expected on January 31, 2027, and based on the 2026 cycle — where the result came out on February 27 about 40 days after the exam — the 2027 result is expected in late February or early March 2027. It decides admission to Class 6 and Class 9 across more than 100 Sainik Schools in India, competing for around 3,643 total seats.

To download the scorecard, you will need your AISSEE 2027 roll number and date of birth. The result shows your subject-wise marks, total score, qualifying status, and All India Rank (AIR).

• AISSEE 2027 result is expected in late February or early March 2027 on the NTA official portal.
• The scorecard includes subject-wise marks, total score, qualifying status, and All India Rank (AIR).
• To qualify, General and Defence category students need at least 25% in each subject; SC and ST candidates need 20%.
• Around 1.78–2 lakh students compete each year for roughly 3,643 Sainik School seats — fewer than 1 in 50 applicants gets through.
• Qualified and medically fit candidates register for AISSAC (All India Sainik Schools Admission Counselling) for seat allotment.
• NTA prepares state-wise and category-wise merit lists — 67% of seats go to home-state students and 33% to other-state candidates, with 10% reserved for girls.

NTA prepares the AISSEE merit list based on written test scores, category, and domicile state — only candidates who also clear the medical fitness test at a designated military hospital get final admission.

AISSEE Result Previous Year Statistics

AISSEE attracts some of the most competitive young students in India. Around 1.75 to 2 lakh students appear each year, all competing for roughly 3,600 seats — making this one of the toughest school-level entrance exams in the country. Here is how participation and key milestones have shaped up over recent cycles.

Seats growing, competition staying intense. Sainik Schools Society has added 69 new Sainik Schools in recent years, pushing total capacity from under 3,000 seats (2022) to over 3,600 seats (2026). Despite more seats, applicant numbers have stayed at 1.75–2 lakh — so the competition ratio remains around 45–55 applicants per seat. That ratio has only improved modestly, and AISSEE remains extremely competitive at the school-entrance level.

Class 9 seats have actually reduced in recent cycles — from around 650 in 2023–2024 down to 533 in 2026 — even as Class 6 capacity grew significantly. If you are attempting AISSEE for Class 9 admission, competition per seat is noticeably higher than for Class 6. Students who enter via Class 6 tend to have a smoother path to admission.

How to Check AISSEE Result 2027

Once NTA declares the AISSEE 2027 result, you can download your scorecard directly from the official portal in a few steps. Keep your admit card handy — you will need the roll number and date of birth printed on it.

Steps to check AISSEE Result 2027 online:

1. Go to exams.nta.nic.in/sainik-school-society/.
2. Click on the "AISSEE 2027 Result" link on the homepage once it goes live.
3. Enter your roll number and date of birth in the login fields.
4. Click Submit or View Result.
5. Your scorecard appears on screen — verify all personal and score details before downloading.
6. Click Download / Print and save the scorecard as a PDF.

Also download the merit list: After the result is out, NTA publishes a separate merit list PDF on the same portal. The merit list shows your All India Rank, whether you are shortlisted for AISSAC counselling, and your eligibility by category and domicile state. Download and save this separately — counselling authorities will verify it during AISSAC registration.

SMS and email alerts: NTA sends result-related notifications to your registered mobile number and email. These alerts are a useful prompt but not a substitute for checking the official portal directly — always download from the source.

AISSEE 2027 Scorecard: Details Mentioned

Your AISSEE 2027 scorecard is an official NTA-issued document. You will need it at counselling, document verification, and when reporting to your allotted school. Check every detail the moment you download it — any discrepancy in name, date of birth, or category must be reported to NTA right away, before the counselling window opens.

The domicile state field is critical. AISSEE operates a 67%/33% quota between home-state and other-state candidates for each school. If your domicile state is incorrect on the scorecard, it could push you into the wrong quota and directly affect your seat allotment outcome. Flag any discrepancy to NTA before you register for counselling.

Print at least three copies. Sainik Schools, military hospital facilities conducting the medical test, and some defence scholarship programmes ask for physical copies of the scorecard at different stages.

AISSEE 2027 Qualifying Marks

AISSEE has a two-layer filter: first you cross the minimum qualifying marks to enter the merit list, and then your rank has to be good enough to get a seat through AISSAC. Many students qualify on paper but do not get a school — because the actual selection cutoff is far above the 20–25% minimum threshold.

Exam pattern — what subjects are tested:

For Class 6 admission, the exam tests two subjects:

• Mathematics — 50 questions, 200 marks
• Language (in the medium of instruction you selected) — 25 questions, 100 marks

For Class 9 admission, the exam tests four subjects with 50 marks each (200 marks total):

• Mathematics
• Science
• English
• Social Science / General Knowledge

There is negative marking in AISSEE: every wrong answer deducts one-fourth of the marks allotted to that question. Unanswered questions carry no penalty. Answering only questions you are confident about is the smarter strategy — especially for Class 9, where each subject-wise mistake directly reduces your section score toward the 20–25% minimum per subject.

AISSEE 2027 Merit List

The AISSEE 2027 merit list is the official document that decides who gets called for AISSAC counselling. NTA publishes it as a downloadable PDF on the portal shortly after the result is declared. Your position on the merit list — your All India Rank within your category and domicile quota — is what actually determines whether you get a Sainik School seat.

How NTA builds the AISSEE merit list:

• Only candidates who clear the minimum qualifying marks in all subjects are included.
• Separate merit lists are prepared for Class 6 and Class 9.
• Candidates are ranked by total marks obtained. In case of a tie, NTA applies a defined tie-breaking order — typically higher marks in Mathematics first, then by age (younger candidate ranked higher).
• 67% of seats in each Sainik School are for home-state candidates — students whose domicile state matches the state where the school is located.
• 33% of seats go to other-state candidates from all other states of India.
• 10% of seats within each school’s total intake are reserved for girl students.
• Reservation for SC, ST, OBC, and EWS categories applies within each quota as per government norms.

The merit list PDF shows your AIR, category rank, domicile state, and whether you are shortlisted for e-counselling. Once the merit list is published, shortlisted candidates must appear for a medical fitness test at a designated Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS) facility before they can register for AISSAC.

Being on the merit list does not guarantee a seat. The final allotment happens through AISSAC, where your school preferences, available seats in your quota, and real-time demand all come into play. Students with higher AIRs who fill in more school choices across different states tend to have better outcomes in later rounds.

What After AISSEE Result 2027?

Getting the AISSEE 2027 result is the starting point of the admission process, not the finish line. Here is everything that happens after the result is out, in the order it occurs.

Step 1: Download scorecard and check merit list status
Log in to the NTA portal and download your scorecard. Check the merit list PDF — it shows your AIR and whether you are eligible for AISSAC. If your name is on the merit list, move to the next step without delay.

Step 2: Appear for medical fitness test
All merit-listed candidates must clear a medical examination at a designated military hospital or Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS) facility. This is mandatory — no counselling registration is possible without a medical clearance. The Sainik Schools Society notifies the medical schedule and hospital list separately after the merit list is published. The exam checks vision, hearing, physical fitness, and general health to a standard appropriate for a residential military-style school.

Step 3: Register for AISSAC e-counselling
Medically fit candidates register on the AISSAC portal at pesa.ncog.gov.in/sainikschoolecounselling/. Registration requires uploading scanned copies of key documents — birth certificate, category certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, medical fitness certificate, and AISSEE scorecard.

Step 4: Fill school preferences
During AISSAC, you fill in your preferred Sainik Schools in rank order (up to 10 schools). The AISSAC system matches your AIR, category, and domicile state against available seats across multiple allotment rounds. In 2026, AISSAC ran 6 rounds before closing in late May. Filling more school preferences — including schools in states other than your own — gives you more chances of getting a seat in later rounds if you miss out in earlier ones.

Step 5: Accept allotted seat and pay fees
Once you receive an allotment, accept it online and pay the seat acceptance fee within the specified deadline. Missing this window forfeits the allotment.

Step 6: Report to the school with documents
Report to your allotted Sainik School with original documents — birth certificate, category certificate, domicile proof, AISSEE scorecard, admit card, medical fitness certificate, and transfer certificate (TC) from your current school. Schools typically open for new admissions in June or July 2027.
