Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the AISSEE syllabus based on NCERT?
Yes. The AISSEE syllabus is largely based on the NCERT curriculum. For Class 6 admission, the syllabus covers topics from NCERT Class 5 (and some introductory Class 6 topics). For Class 9 admission, the syllabus is based on NCERT Class 8 content. NTA designs the AISSEE question paper keeping NCERT textbooks as the primary reference, which is why NCERT books are the most important study material for AISSEE preparation.
What is the difference between AISSEE Class 6 and Class 9 syllabus?
The main differences are: (1) Class 6 has General Knowledge as a subject, while Class 9 has General Science and Social Studies as separate subjects. (2) Class 6 Mathematics carries 150 marks (50% weightage) with 50 questions at 3 marks each, while Class 9 Mathematics carries 200 marks (50% weightage) with 50 questions at 4 marks each. (3) The complexity level of questions is higher for Class 9. (4) Class 9 requires 3 hours for the exam while Class 6 requires 2.5 hours. (5) The Intelligence section difficulty increases from Class 6 to Class 9.
Is there negative marking in AISSEE 2027?
No. There is no negative marking in AISSEE. Each correct answer earns full marks, and unanswered or wrong answers do not result in any deduction. This means students should attempt all questions, even if they need to make an educated guess. However, random guessing without any elimination is not recommended as it wastes valuable time that could be spent on questions the student can solve confidently.
How many questions are there in AISSEE 2027?
For Class 6, AISSEE has 125 questions carrying a total of 300 marks. For Class 9, there are 150 questions carrying a total of 400 marks. All questions are multiple-choice questions (MCQs) with four options each, and students mark their answers on an OMR sheet using a black or blue ballpoint pen.
What level of questions are asked in AISSEE Mathematics?
AISSEE Mathematics questions are generally of NCERT level with moderate difficulty. For Class 6, questions are based on Class 5 NCERT Mathematics with some application-based problems. For Class 9, questions are based on Class 8 NCERT Mathematics. While most questions are straightforward, 15 to 20% of questions may require multi-step problem solving or application of concepts in unfamiliar contexts. Speed and accuracy are crucial given the time constraints.
