The AISSEE 2026 was held at numerous exam centres nationwide with offline, OMR-based question papers. The Class 6 paper consisted of 125 questions for 300 marks, and the Class 9 paper included 150 questions for 400 marks. There was no negative marking for incorrect responses in either paper.Candidates who appeared in the exam should prepare to check the answer key once it is published by NTA. The answer key allows students to compare their recorded responses with official solutions to estimate probable scores ahead of results.
Release and Objection Process
Once the NTA makes the provisional answer key available online, candidates will be able to:
- Access and download the AISSEE 2026 provisional answer key
- Review the official solutions to all questions
- Raise objections against any answer(s) they believe to be incorrect
The objection window usually remains open for a limited period after the provisional key is released. Candidates wishing to challenge specific answers must submit their objections within this period, often accompanied by a nominal processing fee per question.
What Candidates Should Do Next?
After the answer key is released:
- Compare your exam responses with the official key
- Calculate an estimated score based on correct answers
- Prepare to submit any objections promptly within the allotted window
- Keep an eye on updates regarding the final answer key and result announcement
The final answer key — released after considering objections — forms the basis for the official AISSEE 2026 result, which is typically declared several weeks after the provisional key phase ends.
Why the Answer Key Matters?
The AISSEE answer key helps candidates:
- Evaluate their performance soon after attendance
- Estimate their probable admission chances
- Understand areas where responses may need review
