Eligibility for Sainik School Counselling Round 2

Now, who is eligible for Sainik School Counselling Round 2? If you were allotted a school in Round 1 but chose the RECONSIDER option, you’re in luck! Additionally, if you were not allotted any Sainik School in Round 1, or if you didn’t register or do choice filling during Round 1, you can participate in Round 2.

Please note that it’s assumed that all candidates and their parents participating in AISSAC Counselling have read, understood, and agreed to the terms and conditions of AISSAC 2023. 

So, please ensure you read and check all instructions and FAQs uploaded by SSS on the AISSAC 2023 portal, as well as the leftover vacancies available in schools for Round 2 through Seat Matrix.

Candidates who opted RECONSIDER option

If you opted for RECONSIDER in Round 1, you don’t need to register again for Sainik School Counselling Round 2. However, if you opted for combination Sainik Schools only, you can fill a total of 10 schools based on your order of preference. Class IX candidates are eligible for Sainik Schools only.

For Class VI candidates who opted for any of the combinations of NSS 40% Route for New Sainik Schools, you can fill 5 new Sainik Schools. If you’re already studying in a New Sainik School in Class V and opted for NSS 60% Route, your school (as per data provided by NTA) will be non-editable.

If you didn’t fill your choices in Round 1, the last saved choices (if filled) will be locked automatically upon reaching the deadline for choice filling in Round 2.

Candidates who didn’t registered during Round 1

For those who haven’t registered or done choice filling in Round 1, here are some instructions to follow for Sainik School Counselling Round 2:

To sign up and register on the AISSAC 2023 portal, you’ll need your AISSEE 2023 Application Number
