The previous AISSEE admission cycle prescribed the following examination fees:

Category	Previous Cycle Fee
General / Defence / Ex-Servicemen	₹850
OBC-NCL	₹850
SC / ST	₹700

The above amounts are from the previous published examination bulletin and should not be treated as independently confirmed AISSEE 2027 fees. Candidates should check the 2027 Information Bulletin and payment page for the applicable fee, including any late fee and service charges.

AISSEE 2027 Qualifying Marks

Candidates should understand the difference between qualifying the entrance examination and securing admission to a Sainik School.

Under the previous AISSEE admission rules, candidates seeking admission to existing Sainik Schools generally needed:

• At least 25% marks in each subject.
• At least 40% marks in aggregate.

For approved New Sainik Schools, the previous bulletin prescribed the 25% subject-wise and 40% aggregate requirements for all categories.

Important: Meeting the minimum qualifying marks does not guarantee admission. Final admission depends on merit, school-wise vacancies, reservation rules, medical fitness and document verification. Check the AISSEE 2027 Information Bulletin for the applicable rules.

Reservation plays an important role in Sainik School Admission. Under the previous admission framework, seats in existing Sainik Schools were distributed between Home State/UT and Other States/UT categories.

• Other States/UT: 33% of seats.
• SC Category: 15% reservation.
• ST Category: 7.5% reservation.
• OBC-NCL Category: 27% reservation.
• Defence Personnel and Ex-Servicemen: Reservation provisions as prescribed in the admission policy.

Reservation rules and their applicability are subject to the official admission policy and applicable legal directions. Candidates should check the 2027 bulletin for the final category-wise and school-wise reservation details.
