What to do after the AISSEE 2026 merit list?
After the AISSEE 2026 merit list is released, successful candidates must participate in the Sainik School e-counseling process. E-counseling is a crucial stage in the admission process, as it allocates students to Sainik Schools based on their merit and preferences.
After passing the e-counseling, candidates must undergo a medical examination. This examination ensures that candidates meet the physical standards required for admission to a Sainik School. The medical examination assesses the overall health and fitness of the candidates.
Candidates who pass the medical examination are deemed fit for final admission. The names of successful candidates are then published in the final merit list. Once their names appear on the final merit list, they can secure their admission by paying the Sainik School fee.
