AISSEEE Answer Key 2026: Candidates can calculate tentative scores using the official key. The final key will determine the result preparation and admission eligibility for Classes 6 and 9.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducted the All India Sainik School Entrance Examination (AISSEE) 2026 on January 18, 2026, at 464 centres across the country. The exam was held for admission to Classes 6 and 9 in Sainik schools and new Sainik schools, for the academic session 2026-27. The test included multiple-choice questions covering subjects prescribed for each class.
Candidates who appeared for the AISSEE 2026 are waiting for the release of the official AISSEE 2026 answer key. The answer key enables candidates to match their responses with the official solutions and calculate their tentative scores before results are announced.
The testing agency has not announced the exact date for the AISSEE 2026 answer key release. The NTA typically releases a provisional answer key for AISSEE within a few weeks of the exam. The AISSEE 2026 answer key will be released on the official website at exams.nta.nic.in/sainik-school-society.
AISSEEE 2026 answer key objection process
Following the release of the provisional key, candidates are provided an opportunity to submit objections to any answer they find incorrect. Objections are submitted through the official portal within the time frame specified by the agency, accompanied by any supporting documents and fees, if applicable.
After the objection period closes, the NTA reviews the submissions and publishes the final answer key. The AISSEE 2026 final answer key is used to prepare the official result, which determines candidate eligibility for admission to Sainik Schools.
AISSEEE Answer Key 2026: Marking scheme
The AISSEE 2026 follows a structured marking scheme for both Class 6 and Class 9 question papers. For Class 6, the paper comprises 125 questions across mathematics, language, intelligence, and general knowledge, with each correct answer carrying marks ranging from 2 to 3. The total marks for the paper are 300.
For Class 9, the exam includes 150 questions in mathematics, English, intelligence, general science, and social studies, with correct answers carrying 2 to 4 marks each, making a total of 400 marks.
In both classes, no marks are deducted for incorrect or unattempted questions. Candidates can use the official answer key, once released, to calculate their tentative scores by applying the designated marks for each correct response and assigning zero for incorrect or unattempted answers.
