Last verified: 10 October 2026 (Saturday morning). We opened the official NTA AISSEE portal ourselves this morning — there is still no AISSEE 2027 notification, no application link, and no 2027 dates anywhere on it. The tentative exam date of 31 January 2027 (reported from NTA’s examination calendar) is EXPECTED, not official. Everything below separates what we confirmed from what is pattern-based expectation.
Last night our evening check found the portal untouched; this morning’s check says the same. The “Latest News” section still carries only AISSEE 2026 items — the 2026 score card, results, answer keys, and the AISSAC 2026 counselling notice. The “News & Events” tab still says “No post to display.”
One year ago today, on 10 October 2025, the AISSEE 2026 notification released and the form opened — applications then ran for just 20 days, closing 30 October 2025. That 20-day window is the real story of this article: when the notification finally drops, you will not have the luxury of time to arrange documents. CONFIRMED — and it is exactly why this weekend matters more than another hour of refreshing.
1. Match names across documents. The number-one form-filling delay last year was mismatched details. Take your child’s birth certificate and check that the name spelling and date of birth match exactly what the current school has on record. If they don’t, start the correction process now — not after the form opens.
2. Get domicile certificates in hand. Domicile rules are school-specific and strict: for example, UP Sainik School Lucknow and Gorakhpur admit only children whose father is also a UP domicile holder. If you are applying anywhere outside your home state, confirm you meet that state’s domicile rule this weekend.
3. Scan the photo, signature, and thumb impression. Keep a recent passport-size photo, the child’s signature, and left-thumb impression scanned and sized per last year’s specifications. These are the three uploads the form asks for first.
4. Shortlist your schools. The AISSEE form asks you to list school preferences, and that choice-filling decides where your child gets allotted. Sit with the list of 33 Sainik Schools plus the New Sainik Schools and make a realistic shortlist — don’t leave it for the night before the deadline.
5. UP applicants: file before 25 October. The UP Sainik School normal-fee window (Rs 1,000) closes 25 October 2026 at 5 pm — that’s 15 days away, and the fee doubles to Rs 2,000 after that. Its entrance exam is on 20 December 2026, a different date from AISSEE. (Full UP Sainik School details)
6. RIMC families: correction window closes tomorrow. If you applied for the RIMC December 2026 entrance exam, its correction window shuts on 11 October 2026. Check your form today. (RIMC correction window details)
7. Run one full mock test. 112 days is enough to build real speed — but only if mock tests start now. Do one full-length paper this weekend under exam timing: 150 minutes for Class 6, 180 minutes for Class 9, with the OMR bubbling practice included.
Check the NTA AISSEE portal once each morning — that’s it. When the link appears, it will be in the “Latest News” section first. We’ll keep checking daily too, so you don’t have to keep the tab open all weekend. Go spend it on the checklist instead.
Has the AISSEE 2027 notification been released? No. As of the morning of 10 October 2026, the NTA AISSEE portal shows no 2027 notification, application link, or dates. Everything visible is still from the completed AISSEE 2026 cycle.
How many days are left for the AISSEE 2027 exam? 112 days to the tentative exam date of 31 January 2027, reported from NTA’s examination calendar. The date is not official until NTA releases the 2027 information bulletin.
When will the AISSEE 2027 application form open? EXPECTED in October 2026, based on the AISSEE 2026 pattern when the form opened on 10 October 2025. NTA has not announced any date yet — one year’s pattern is not a guarantee.
Is there any admission deadline ending soon this weekend? Yes — the UP Sainik School normal-fee window closes 25 October 2026 at 5 pm (Rs 1,000), doubling to Rs 2,000 after that, with the entrance exam on 20 December 2026. The RIMC correction window closes 11 October 2026.
