Introduction
AISSEE Admit Card 2026 was released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on January 12, 2026, ahead of the All India Sainik Schools Entrance Examination for Class 6 and Class 9 admissions. This guide covers exactly how to download your admit card, what it contains, and the key details you should verify before exam day.
AISSEE Admit Card 2026: Release Details
The AISSEE Admit Card 2026 was made available on the official website, exams.nta.nic.in/sainik-school-society, roughly six days before the exam itself, which was conducted on January 18, 2026, in pen-and-paper mode using OMR sheets, across 464 exam centres in 190 cities nationwide. This release came after NTA had earlier issued the Advance City Intimation Slip on January 6-7, 2026, giving candidates their assigned exam city well before the exact centre address was confirmed through the admit card.

Have Any Doubts?
What the AISSEE Admit Card Contains
Your AISSEE admit card includes your name, photograph, application number, date of birth, roll number, exact exam centre address, exam date and reporting time, and specific exam-day instructions. This is your official document for exam hall entry — unlike the earlier city intimation slip, which only indicated your assigned city without the exact venue.
AISSEE 2026 Exam Date: What the Admit Card Confirmed
The AISSEE 2026 exam date — January 18, 2026 — was confirmed on the admit card alongside the candidate’s specific reporting time and exam centre. Both Class 6 and Class 9 candidates appeared for their respective papers on the same date, at centres allocated based on registration data and regional availability.

Exams.nta.nic.in Sainik School Society: The Official Portal
The exams.nta.nic.in sainik school society portal is the sole official website for all AISSEE-related downloads — registration, the city intimation slip, the admit card, the answer key, and the result. It’s worth bookmarking this exact URL and cross-verifying against nta.ac.in as a secondary official reference, rather than relying on third-party websites that sometimes host outdated or unofficial information.
Sainik School Admit Card Details: What to Check Carefully
Once you download your admit card, verify these details carefully before exam day:
- Name and photograph — must match your application form exactly
- Application number and date of birth — used throughout the exam and result process
- Exam centre address — plan your route and travel time in advance, especially if the centre isn’t in your home city
- Reporting time — typically well before the actual exam start time
- Class and subject details — confirm you’re appearing for the correct class (6 or 9)
What to Do If There’s an Error on Your Admit Card
If you spot any discrepancy — a misspelled name, wrong photograph, or incorrect exam centre — contact NTA immediately through the official helpline or email listed on the admit card download page, rather than waiting until closer to the exam date, since corrections need processing time.
