AISSEE 2024 registration deadline extended, Sainik School entrance test dates revised

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has revised the dates for the All-India Sainik Schools Entrance Examination (AISSEE)-2024. Instead of January 21, 2024, the exam will now be held on January 28, 2024. Also, the last date to register for this exam has been extended to December 20, 2023. The earlier deadline was December 16, 2023. Candidates can also make the payment until December 20, and from December 22 to 24, 2023, they can make corrections in their applications.

The reason for these changes is to avoid any conflicts with other important exams. According to an official notification, the AISSEE-2024 was rescheduled due to a clash with some major national exams on January 21, 2024. Candidates can register for AISSEE 2024 before the deadline by visiting the official website- www.exams.nta.ac.in/aissee.

Students aiming to join English medium residential schools affiliated with CBSE can visit the National Testing Agency's official website to register for this entrance exam.
