AISSAC Important Instructions For E-Counselling Seat Selection

• Schools filled by applicants currently enrolled in New Sainik School under NSS 60 Route will automatically appear on the platform. 
• Candidates should carefully prioritize their top selections when filling out the choices, keeping in mind that only those choices would be made available for seat allocation and that only ONE seat would be made available to the candidate from those choices.
• AISSAC E-Counselling Applicants are given a window (according to the timeframe on the portal) to register and list their top-choice schools. 
• This timeframe will not, under any circumstances, be extended. Requests in this regard won’t be taken into consideration. 
• Each candidate must carefully fill out their choices throughout this time. Only the schools from the list of options that the applicant is willing to attend must be chosen, and they must be prioritised according to the applicant’s desire.
