Last verified: 30 September 2026, 11:15 AM IST. This is a countdown explainer, not breaking news. Nothing here is a new announcement — it is a timeline of the six milestones that stand between today and the AISSEE 2027 exam, clearly labelled CONFIRMED or EXPECTED.
October starts tomorrow. Your child has 123 days until the AISSEE 2027 exam, the notification still isn’t out, and the next four months contain more decision points than the whole year so far. Parents who track this timeline calmly always fare better than parents who wake up to each deadline a day late. Here it is, in order.
EXPECTED: If the last cycle repeats, October is the month. AISSEE 2026 applications ran 10 to 30 October 2025 — a short, 20-day window. That is the precedent, and it is why October is not a month to “relax and wait.” Keep the documents ready, the photo and signature in the right format, and the NTA portal bookmarked.
CONFIRMED (as of late September): the AISSEE 2027 notification has not been released yet. No bulletin, no dates. Watch the official portal — exams.nta.nic.in — not WhatsApp forwards.
CONFIRMED (NTA notification, reported 24 September 2026): the RMS CET 2026 application window — open since 23 September — closes 20 October 2026 at 5 pm. There is a late window, 21 to 25 October, with an extra ₹500 fee. The exam itself is on 13 December 2026, OMR-based, for admission to Classes 6 and 9 in the five Rashtriya Military Schools.
Why does this matter on a Sainik School site? Because thousands of defence-aspirant families apply to both. If your child is in that overlap, the RMS form and the AISSEE form may both demand your attention in the same fortnight. Prepare documents once, use them twice.
EXPECTED: the AISSEE 2026 cycle offered a correction window 2–4 November 2025. A similar short window is the most likely shape of 2027. The practical point: fill the form correctly the first time, in one sitting, in daylight, with your child’s certificates beside you — not at midnight on the last date.
November is also when preparation must shift gear: the syllabus should be finished, and the mock-test phase should begin in earnest.
CONFIRMED (NTA calendar, tentative): RIMC’s December entrance is listed for 6 December 2026 and RMS CET 2026 for 13 December 2026. For AISSEE families, December is when admit cards typically appear — mid-January pattern says don’t panic before Christmas, but do check the portal weekly from the second week of December.
CONFIRMED (tentative): NTA’s examination calendar for 2026–27 lists AISSEE 2027 on 31 January 2027. NTA calls calendar dates tentative, but every serious plan should be built around this date until the bulletin says otherwise. Class 6: 150 minutes, 300 marks. Class 9: 180 minutes, 400 marks. Offline, OMR, MCQ, no negative marking.
EXPECTED: past cycles have declared results within weeks of the exam, followed by AISSAC online counselling at pesa.ncog.gov.in — typically around six rounds. The 2027 dates come later; what doesn’t change is the rule: 25% per section and 40% aggregate to qualify, and rank alone decides nothing until counselling allots a school.
A parent once told me the last hundred days felt like holding a lantern — you don’t light the whole road, just the next few steps. That is exactly how to treat this timeline.
How many days are left for AISSEE 2027? 123 days — the exam is on 31 January 2027 as listed in NTA’s examination calendar for 2026–27, which NTA labels as tentative.
Has the AISSEE 2027 notification been released as of 30 September 2026? No. No AISSEE 2027 notification or information bulletin has been announced yet; it is expected in October–November 2026 based on the previous cycle’s pattern.
What is the last date for RMS CET 2026 applications? 20 October 2026 up to 5 pm, with a late window from 21 to 25 October 2026 carrying an additional fee of ₹500, per the NTA notification reported by multiple outlets.
When is the RMS CET 2026 exam? 13 December 2026, conducted by NTA in pen-and-paper OMR mode for admission to Classes 6 and 9 in the five Rashtriya Military Schools.
