Two dates in January will decide how calm your child’s exam day feels — and most parents mix them up. The National Testing Agency will first tell you which city your child writes the AISSEE 2027 in, and only two weeks later which building, at what time. The first document is the advance city intimation slip, out on 11 January 2027. The second is the admit card, out on 25 January 2027. The exam is on Sunday, 31 January 2027 — Class 6 from 2:00 to 4:30 PM, Class 9 from 2:00 to 5:00 PM.
The city slip tells you one thing — the city where your child’s exam centre will be. It does not name the school or the building, and it is not an entry pass. Its job is practical: twenty days to sort out travel and stay, which matters a lot if the allotted city is not the one you expected. Check whether it is one of the four cities you chose in the form; if it isn’t, start planning travel that same day.
Download the admit card from exams.nta.nic.in/sainik-school-society using the application number and date of birth. It is not sent by post, and the bulletin is blunt: no duplicate admit card is issued at the exam centre, under any circumstances. When you download it on 25 January, check three things the same day.
1. Name, photograph and signature. They must match the form and the birth certificate. If anything is wrong, call the NTA helpline on 011 40759000 or 011 69227700 between 10 AM and 5 PM, Monday to Saturday, or write to [email protected]. The bulletin says you should still appear with the downloaded admit card while NTA corrects its records later — but discover the problem now, not on 31 January.
2. Centre name, address and reporting time. Your child can appear only at the centre printed on the card. No request to change the centre, date or time will be considered — the bulletin says so in plain words. Find the centre on a map the day the card arrives, and visit it once before exam week if it is unfamiliar.
3. Date and timing. Sunday, 31 January 2027. Class 6: 2:00–4:30 PM. Class 9: 2:00–5:00 PM. Both papers start at 2:00 PM sharp, and the centre opens two hours earlier, at noon.
If one line in the bulletin is worth memorising, it is this: last entry to the examination centre is 1:30 PM, and a candidate who arrives after 1:30 PM will not be permitted to enter under any circumstances. Instructions run 1:30–1:45 PM, the question booklet is distributed at 1:45, and the exam begins at 2:00 PM. There is no re-exam for anyone who misses it, for any reason.
So reach the centre by 12:30–1:00 PM. You will clear frisking, admit-card checking and document verification without a queue, find the allotted seat — seats carry roll numbers, and sitting in the wrong one can cancel a candidature — and sit down calm.
One last thing for this week: keep the application number and password safe — you need them to download both documents — and save the helpline numbers now, not on 25 January when everyone else is calling. The form window is still open until 2 December 2026 (11:50 PM), with a late-fee window of 3–6 December and a correction window of 7–9 December.
Is the AISSEE 2027 exam city slip the same as the admit card?
No. The city slip, out on 11 January 2027, tells you only which city your exam is in. The admit card, out on 25 January 2027, tells you the exact centre, its address, your reporting time and your roll number. Only the admit card gets you into the hall.
When can I download the AISSEE 2027 admit card?
From 25 January 2027, on the NTA website exams.nta.nic.in/sainik-school-society, using your application number and date of birth. The bulletin says the admit card is hosted about three weeks before the exam. It is not sent by post.
Can I change my AISSEE 2027 exam centre after the admit card is out?
No. The NTA bulletin states plainly that no request to change the exam centre, date or time on the admit card will be considered under any circumstances. You can only appear at the centre printed on your admit card.
What if I cannot download my AISSEE 2027 admit card?
Contact the NTA helpline on 011 40759000 or 011 69227700 between 10 AM and 5 PM, Monday to Saturday, or write to [email protected]. No duplicate admit card is issued at the exam centre, so do not leave this to exam morning.
