Last verified: 25 October 2026. This is a calendar explainer, not breaking news. Every date below is ✅ CONFIRMED from the site’s own verified reporting of October 2026, which in turn rests on the official UP Sainik admission schedule (ABP Live, Edex Live, Times of India, Careers360) and the individual school recruitment advertisements (FreeJobAlert, TheJobinAssam and this site’s 23–24 October reports). The AISSEE 2027 notification date is 🔶 EXPECTED, not confirmed — see the last section.

Today, 25 October, the UP Sainik School normal-fee window and the RMS CET last chance both close at 5 PM. If you missed them, the late-fee route for UP Sainik stays open until 31 October — but from here on, the calendar belongs to November. And November is a busy month for defence-school families: a correction window, three recruitment deadlines, an admit card, and the still-pending AISSEE notification.
Here is the whole month, in order, so nothing sneaks up on you.
| Date | What happens | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|
| 31 October, 5 PM | UP Sainik late-fee window closes (Rs 2,000 total) | Families who missed today’s normal-fee deadline |
| 31 October | Sainik School Kunjpura recruitment closes (15 posts) | Job applicants to Kunjpura |
| 3–5 November, till 5 PM | UP Sainik application correction window | UP Sainik applicants who already applied |
| 6 November | Sainik School Rewari recruitment closes (5 posts) | Job applicants to Rewari |
| 7 November | Sainik School Chittorgarh recruitment closes (5 posts) | Job applicants to Chittorgarh |
| 12 November | Sainik School Goalpara recruitment closes (13 posts) | Job applicants to Goalpara |
| After 25 November | UP Sainik admit card available | UP Sainik applicants |
| November (expected) | AISSEE 2027 notification | Class 6 and 9 aspirants across India |
| 20 December (tentative) | UP Sainik written exam | UP Sainik applicants |
This is the first November date that affects the largest number of families. If you applied for the UP Sainik Schools Entrance Exam 2027-28, the correction facility runs from 3 to 5 November until 5 PM. Use it to fix errors in details like your child’s date of birth, category or uploaded documents.
Four things cannot be changed: the candidate’s name, the class applied for, the registered mobile number and the email ID. So if the mistake is in one of those four, the correction window will not save you — check those fields now, before the window even opens, and keep your login credentials ready.
November also closes three Sainik School job notifications, and all three are offline — which means the deadline is the date the form reaches the school, not the date you post it:
If any of these is on your list, the practical deadline is this week, not the printed date. Get the demand draft made, attach attested testimonials, and post with a receipt you keep.
UP Sainik admit cards are expected after 25 November, downloadable from the candidate login. The written exam for Classes 6 and 9 is tentatively set for 20 December 2026. That leaves roughly three weeks between admit card and exam — not the time to start preparation, but exactly the time to revise it: one mock paper a week, documents ready, exam centre checked in advance.
And then there is the date every AISSEE family is actually waiting for. As of the latest checks, no AISSEE 2027 information bulletin has appeared on the NTA portal — 15 days past last year’s 10 October release date. November is the realistic window based on past cycles, and the expected exam date remains 31 January 2027 per the NTA calendar, but neither is confirmed until the bulletin itself appears.
While you wait, the honest preparation list is short: keep the birth certificate, domicile certificate and category certificate scanned and ready; do not trust any website claiming the form is already out unless the NTA portal itself shows it; and use the waiting time for revision, not for refreshing the portal every hour.
For the week-by-week view of the days ahead, see our week-ahead guide for 25–31 October, and for the recruitment details, our reports on Rewari and Chittorgarh.
What is the first Sainik School deadline in November 2026?
The UP Sainik School correction window, 3 to 5 November until 5 pm. It is for candidates who already applied; name, class applied for, mobile number and email ID cannot be changed in it.
Which Sainik School recruitments close in November 2026?
Three: Sainik School Rewari on 6 November, Sainik School Chittorgarh on 7 November, and Sainik School Goalpara on 12 November. All three are offline applications, so post early enough for the form to arrive by the deadline.
When does the UP Sainik School admit card come?
After 25 November 2026, as per the admission schedule reported by Careers360 and Jagran Josh. The written exam itself is tentatively set for 20 December 2026.
Is the AISSEE 2027 notification expected in November?
It is expected, not confirmed. No AISSEE 2027 bulletin had appeared on the NTA portal in the latest checks, 15 days past last year’s 10 October release date. November is the realistic window based on past cycles, but only exams.nta.nic.in/sainik-school-society counts as proof.
