The All India Sainik School Entrance Exam (AISEE) 2026 admit cards are expected to be released soon. Students who applied for this important exam can expect to download their admit cards from the official website between January 10 and 12, 2026 . This admit card is needed to appear for the entrance exam, which is set for January 18, 2026 . AISEE helps students get admission into Classes 6 and 9 at Sainik Schools across India. These schools are known for preparing students for careers in the Indian Armed Forces.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is the body that conducts the Sainik School entrance test. Earlier this month, students received their city intimation slip for AISEE 2026. This slip, which tells students the city where their exam center will be, was released on January 6, 2026 . Based on past trends, there is usually a gap of about 10 days between the admit card release and the actual exam date. A similar schedule is expected for AISEE 2026.
