Last verified: 2 October 2026. This is a countdown explainer, not a news flash — every date below is marked CONFIRMED or EXPECTED.
121 days. That is all that stands between today and 31 January 2027 (CONFIRMED, tentative — NTA’s exam calendar notice of 16 September 2026, reported by the Times of India) — a Sunday, the proposed date for the AISSEE 2027 written exam. It sounds like plenty of time. It is not. The next 17 weeks will be eaten by school exams, Diwali, winter breaks, and three other admission deadlines that close this month. Here is the countdown, in order of urgency.
Three forms are genuinely open right now, and one of them closes in five days:
If your child is eligible for any of these, treat this weekend as the deadline, not the date on the notice.
The AISSEE 2027 notification itself is still not out — we checked the NTA portal on 2 October: the Latest News section lists only AISSEE-2026 items. Based on the 2026 cycle (applications 10–30 October 2025), the notification is EXPECTED this month. The bulletin is the single most important document of the cycle — application dates, fee, age limits, exam pattern, school list, reservation rules. Until it appears, everything is pattern-based reasoning, honestly labelled.
| Phase | Weeks | Dates (approx.) | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Foundation | 10 | 2 Oct – 11 Dec | Finish the full syllabus, one subject a day |
| Mock season | 4 | 12 Dec – 8 Jan | Full-length papers, timed, with error logs |
| Final revision | 3 | 9 Jan – 30 Jan | Weak areas only + previous years’ papers |
Rough, but realistic: Mathematics carries half the marks in both Class 6 (150 of 300) and Class 9 (200 of 400) papers, so give it roughly half your study time (CONFIRMED — 2026 exam pattern).
