AISSEE 2027 Notification Watch: It's October 11 and NTA Is Still Silent

Last verified: 11 October 2026 (Sunday night). The facts below are CONFIRMED from two independent education sources (AglaSem and collegedunia): the AISSEE 2027 notification is not yet released, and last year’s form opened on 10 October 2025. The timing forecast for this year is EXPECTED, based on that pattern. This is a milestone-tied explainer, not breaking news.

If you’ve been refreshing the NTA website since October 1, you’re not imagining things: we are now officially one day past last year’s release date, and there is still no AISSEE 2027 notification. The AISSEE 2026 form opened on 10 October 2025 — and as of tonight, 11 October 2026, NTA’s Sainik School portal shows nothing for the 2027 cycle. Here is what that actually means, and — more importantly — what to do about it.

What we know tonight (CONFIRMED)

• No notification yet. The AISSEE 2027 information bulletin and application form are still not released. This status is confirmed by two independent education trackers as of this week.
• Last year’s timeline: the AISSEE 2026 form opened 10 October 2025, the fee-payment window closed 31 October 2025, and the correction window ran 2–4 November 2025.
• Expected window for 2027: October 2026 — this month, right now. Multiple sources place the release here.
• Exam: January 2027 is expected (NTA’s preliminary calendar points at 31 January 2027). That date stays EXPECTED until the bulletin confirms it.
• Fee (EXPECTED): ₹850 for General / Defence / OBC-NCL and ₹700 for SC/ST, unchanged from last year — this pattern held for several cycles.

Why the silence is probably not a delay

Before you worry: a one-day slip past last year’s date is not a trend. In recent cycles, NTA has routinely released AISSEE notifications in mid-October, and a short correction window for a different NTA exam — the RIMC entrance — is closing tonight, which often pulls NTA’s attention and announcements in the same window. RIMC applicants have until tonight to fix their forms, and NTA typically sequences its bulletins so two exam portals aren’t fighting for the same headline.

The honest reading: the notification is due any day now. October 2026 is still the expected window, and nothing about tonight’s silence contradicts it.

What to finish while you wait

Don’t refresh the portal every hour. Use this week to remove the things that actually derail applications:

1. Check the OBC-NCL/EWS certificate date. If it’s older than a year, renew it this week — an expired category certificate is the quietest admission-killer.
2. Get documents scanned to spec. Photograph 10–200 KB, signature 10–50 KB, left-hand thumb impression 10–50 KB, all JPG. Fixing this at midnight on deadline night is how mistakes happen.
3. Confirm the mobile number and email ID. NTA sends OTPs and the application number here; a dead number means a dead application.
4. Draft the school preferences list. AISSEE lets candidates pick schools; decide your top choices now, not under deadline pressure.
5. Bookmark only the official portal. That’s exams.nta.nic.in/sainik-school-society. Any “form open” news anywhere else is noise until the bulletin appears there.

FAQs

Is the AISSEE 2027 notification released? No. As of 11 October 2026 the NTA has not released the AISSEE 2027 notification or application form. Two independent education sources confirm the status as “not yet released” with registration expected in October 2026.

When did the AISSEE 2026 form open last year? The AISSEE 2026 application form opened on 10 October 2025 and closed on 30 October 2025, with a correction window from 2 to 4 November 2025. That makes today, 11 October 2026, one day past last year’s release date.

When is the AISSEE 2027 exam expected? The exam is expected in January 2027 — reported as 31 January 2027 in NTA’s preliminary calendar — but the date is only confirmed when the notification is released. Treat it as EXPECTED for now.

Where will the AISSEE 2027 form appear? Only on the official NTA portal, exams.nta.nic.in/sainik-school-society. There is no offline application, and NTA never opens registration on any other website.
