Last verified: 12 October 2026. The document list below is CONFIRMED from the AISSAC 2026 process — the official AISSAC 2026 FAQ, Careers360’s AISSAC 2026 document guide, the AISSAC medical-notice document list (March 2026), and News18’s post-result counselling guide. The AISSAC 2027 notice is not yet published, so exact 2027 requirements are EXPECTED to follow this same list — use it as your preparation baseline and re-check against the official notice when it arrives.
Clearing the AISSEE is the hard part — or so it feels in January. But ask any family that went through it last year, and they’ll tell you the real heart-stopping moment came months later: the day they walked into the school for physical verification and medicals, carrying a folder of documents they’d assembled in a panic over the previous fortnight.
Here’s the uncomfortable truth most guides skip: seat allotment through AISSAC does not confirm admission. Your child’s seat is confirmed only after the medical examination and document verification are complete. Families who lose seats at this stage rarely lose them on merit — they lose them on paperwork. This checklist exists so that isn’t you.
For AISSAC 2026, the sequence ran roughly like this:
The practical takeaway: documents are demanded at two pressure points — the medical examination and physical verification. The folder you carry to both is what this checklist builds.
For each document: get the original, plus 2 self-attested copies (sign each copy yourself and write “self-attested”). In 2026 the medical notice specifically asked for self-certified copies along with originals.
| # | Document | Original + copies | Who / when |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AISSEE 2027 admit card | Original + 2 self-attested copies | Everyone, medical + verification |
| 2 | AISSEE 2027 scorecard (NTA) | Original (download) + 2 self-attested copies | Everyone, medical + verification |
| 3 | Candidate’s Aadhaar card | Original + 2 self-attested copies | Everyone, medical + verification |
| 4 | Birth certificate | Original + 2 self-attested copies | Everyone, medical + verification |
| 5 | Parents’ Aadhaar cards | Originals + 2 self-attested copies each | Everyone (medical notice 2026 listed both parents) |
| 6 | Government photo ID with address (student + parents) | Originals + 2 copies | Everyone — careers360’s AISSAC list includes this for all three |
| 7 | Domicile / state residence certificate | Original + 2 self-attested copies | Everyone — the 67% home-state quota means your domicile is verified against your school choices |
| 8 | Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS) | Original + 2 self-attested copies | Only if a reserved category was claimed on the form |
| 9 | Income certificate of parents | Original + 2 self-attested copies | Everyone — listed in the AISSAC document set; used for scholarships and fee concessions |
| 10 | Previous school report card / study certificate | Original + 2 copies | Everyone — news18’s post-result guide lists it among documents that should be ready |
| 11 | Passport-size photographs (recent) | 6–8 prints + scanned copy on a pen drive | Everyone — for medical forms and admission records |
| 12 | Provisional admission letter (AISSAC) | Download + 2 prints | Everyone — issued after seat allotment |
| 13 | Medical forms — three sets | Filled, signed | Everyone — the 2026 medical notice required three sets, downloadable from the AISSAC portal |
| 14 | Medical-fitness certificate | As issued | Everyone — the final certificate comes from the medical board itself; your job is to show up complete and healthy |
| 15 | Defence service certificate | Original + 2 copies | Only if you claimed the defence/wards-of-defence-personnel quota (EXPECTED per the form’s defence-quota norms; confirm in the 2027 bulletin) |
A few of these deserve their own explanations, because the details are where families get tripped up.
Domicile. Several states take 2–6 weeks to issue or re-issue a domicile certificate, and the portal systems are notoriously moody. If your certificate is torn, old-format, or missing, start the re-application now. Our state-wise domicile process guide walks through portals and timelines.
Income certificate. Required both for the counselling document set and for scholarship and fee-concession claims — it’s valid for one financial year, so a certificate issued after April 2026 is what the 2027 cycle will want.
Birth certificate. Name or date-of-birth mismatches between the birth certificate, Aadhaar and the AISSEE application are the single most common verification failure. If there’s a mismatch, start the correction process now — it can take weeks, and the form window won’t wait.
Mistake 1: “We’ll arrange the documents after the allotment.” The medical window is short and the notice is blunt — in 2026, AISSAC stated that a medical examination not completed in time could disqualify the candidate from further counselling. The families who scramble after allotment discover that the tehsil office takes three weeks for an income certificate and the district office needs two visits for a domicile. The folder should be complete before the AISSEE result, not after.
Mistake 2: Mismatched names and dates across documents. Your child’s name spelled “Aarav” on the birth certificate, “Aarav Kumar” on Aadhaar and “Aarav Kr” on the form is a verification problem. So is a date of birth that reads differently on two documents. The school office checks this mechanically at physical verification — and “mechanical” means no sympathy. Walk through your checklist once, comparing every name and date across every document, at least a month before counselling.
Think of counselling as a second exam — one with no negative marking, no syllabus, and a very long preparation window. Your child studies for the AISSEE; you study this checklist. The families who walk into the school in May with a complete folder don’t remember the paperwork. The families who don’t remember the day forever.
