The National Testing Agency (NTA), which administers AISSEE, typically releases the provisional official answer key a few weeks after the exam, followed by a period during which candidates can challenge specific answer entries by paying a processing fee per question. After considering objections, the final official answer key is published. While NTA has not officially confirmed the exact release date, past trends suggest that the AISSEE answer key may be made public between mid‑February and late February 2026, roughly 25–35 days after the exam date. Once available, it will be accessible on the NTA’s official exam portal.
- General/OBC-NCL: 25% marks in each subject and 40% in aggregate.
- SC/ST: No minimum qualifying marks are required for admission to old Sainik Schools, though they must appear in the merit list.
- Mathematics: Remained the most weightage-heavy and time-consuming section.
- Intelligence/Reasoning: Focused on logical ability and mental sharpness, consistent with previous years.
- Language/GK: Covered a broad spectrum of NCERT-based concepts and current affairs
The overall difficulty for Class 6 was reported as Moderate, while the Class 9 paper was noted for a Moderate to Difficult Intelligence and Mathematics section.
A final answer key, incorporating any accepted challenges, will be released shortly before or along with the final results, typically by March 2026.
Candidates will have a window to challenge the provisional key by paying a non-refundable fee (typically INR 200 per question).
The AISSEE 2026 Provisional Answer Key is expected to be released during February 2026.
