How many Class 9 seats are there in Sainik Schools in 2027?
The 33 Sainik Schools have 732 Class 9 seats for 2027-28: 663 for boys and 69 for girls, according to the official AISSEE 2027 bulletin. Approved new Sainik Schools list another 3,016 Class 9 seats. A seat matrix is a table that shows how many seats each school has, split by home state, other states and category.
| A small difference in the bulletin The bulletin’s printed total row for Class 9 says 731 seats, with 222 other-state boys’ seats. When you add up the 33 school rows, you get 732 and 223. We show the school-wise figures, because those are the seats each school will actually fill. |
All four groups at a glance
| Class and group | Seats in 33 Sainik Schools (2027-28) | Detailed guide |
| Class 9 boys | 663 | You are reading it |
| Class 9 girls | 69 | Class 9 girls seat matrix 2027 |
| Class 6 boys | 2,809 | Class 6 boys seat matrix 2027 |
| Class 6 girls | 351 | Class 6 girls seat matrix 2027 |
Why Class 9 has far fewer seats than Class 6 in Sainik Schools?
Most cadets join a Sainik School in Class 6 and stay till Class 12. So Class 9 seats open only when a school has room left. The bulletin says Class 9 vacancies are worked out from the current strength of Class 12 and the gaps in other classes. That is why the 33 schools have 663 Class 9 boys’ seats against 2,809 in Class 6.
Sainik School seat matrix 2027 Class 9 boys: school-wise list
29 of the 33 Sainik Schools have Class 9 seats for boys in 2027-28, from 4 at East Siang to 80 at Chhingchhip. Four schools show zero. The table shows home-state seats, other-state seats and each school’s total Class 9 intake. Click a school name to read about that school.

Sainik Schools with Zero Class 9 seats in 2027
Sainik School Bhubaneswar (Odisha), Bijapur (Karnataka), Gopalganj (Bihar) and Jhunjhunu (Rajasthan) show Zero Class 9 seats for 2027-28. The bulletin still asks candidates to choose schools “irrespective of availability of vacancies” in a category, because seats can open when cadets leave and are then shared out by the reservation rules.
| Mentor’s Note If your home-state school shows zero or very few Class 9 seats, don’t stop there. Look at the other-state column of every school; 223 boys’ seats are kept for boys from other states. Parents who fill a wide list of choices give their son far more chances in counselling than parents who fill two or three. |
Which Sainik Schools have the most Class 9 seats for boys in 2027?
Sainik School Chhingchhip has the most Class 9 boys’ seats in 2027 (80), followed by Punglwa (49), Goalpara (44) and Rewari and Nalanda (43 each).
| Rank | Sainik School | State | Class 9 boys’ seats |
| 1 | Sainik School Chhingchhip | Mizoram | 80 |
| 2 | Sainik School Punglwa | Nagaland | 49 |
| 3 | Sainik School Goalpara | Assam | 44 |
| 4 | Sainik School Nalanda | Bihar | 43 |
| 5 | Sainik School Rewari | Haryana | 43 |
| 6 | Sainik School Ghorakhal | Uttarakhand | 36 |
| 7 | Sainik School Korukonda | Andhra Pradesh | 34 |
| 8 | Sainik School Balachadi | Gujarat | 26 |
| 9 | Sainik School Kunjpura | Haryana | 26 |
| 10 | Sainik School Kazhakootam | Kerala | 25 |
How are Class 9 boys’ seats divided between home state, other states and categories?
The rules are the same as in Class 6. 67% of seats go to boys whose domicile is the school’s home state and 33% to boys from other states. Inside each list, seats are split as SC 15%, ST 7.5% and OBC-NCL 27%, then 25% of the remaining seats go to wards of defence personnel and the rest to General category.
Domicile is the state your family officially belongs to, shown on your domicile certificate. With small Class 9 numbers, rounding means many schools show 0 or 1 seat in some categories. Read more on reservation in Sainik School admission.
| Category | Home-state seats | Other-state seats | Total Class 9 boys’ seats |
| SC | 65 | 39 | 104 |
| ST | 34 | 14 | 48 |
| OBC-NCL | 97 | 62 | 159 |
| Defence (wards of serving and ex-servicemen) | 66 | 29 | 95 |
| General | 178 | 79 | 257 |
| Total | 440 | 223 | 663 |
Worked example: Sainik School Rewari (Haryana)
Sainik School Rewari has 43 Class 9 seats for boys in 2027. Here is the split from the bulletin.
| Category | Haryana boys (home state) | Boys from other states |
| SC | 4 | 2 |
| ST | 0 | 1 |
| OBC-NCL | 8 | 4 |
| Defence | 4 | 2 |
| General | 12 | 6 |
| Total | 28 | 15 |
A General-category boy from Haryana competes for 12 seats here. A boy from another state competes for 15 other-state seats, and no single state can take more than 25% of them, so at most 4 boys from any one other state can get a Rewari Class 9 seat this year.
New Sainik Schools with Class 9 seats for boys in 2027

How does a Class 9 seat turn into admission?
Your son gets a seat through e-counselling, based on his rank, category, home-state status and the schools you choose. Qualifying the exam is the first step; the allotment comes later. Here is the order of events.
- Write AISSEE on 31 January 2027 and score at least 25% in each subject and 40% overall (no minimum for SC and ST in the 33 Sainik Schools).
- NTA publishes the result and the merit lists, made separately for boys and girls and for Class 6 and Class 9.
- Register again on the e-counselling portal (AISSAC) and fill your school choices. See our e-counselling guide.
- Attend the medical exam if called. Check the medical standards early.
- Carry the original documents, including proof that he has passed Class 8, for verification. Keep this documents checklist handy.
| Please note The seat numbers on this page are from NTA’s “Tentative List of Vacancies”. For Class 9, the bulletin says vacancies depend on the current strength of Class 12 and on cadets who leave, so they can change. Always confirm on the official website: https://exams.nta.nic.in/sainik-school-society/ |
Common mistakes parents make with the Class 9 seat matrix
- Choosing only your home-state school. In Class 9, many schools have 1 or 2 seats per category. Add other-state options.
- Leaving out a school because it shows 0 in your category. The bulletin says to choose regardless, because vacancies can open and get redistributed.
- Forgetting the Class 8 pass condition. Your son must have passed Class 8 by the time of admission.
- Choosing the Defence category wrongly. Wards of Coast Guard and Assam Rifles personnel are advised not to select Defence; they should choose SC, ST, OBC-NCL or General.
- Treating the seat matrix as final. It is tentative. Recheck at e-counselling.
What to do next
- Fill the AISSEE 2027 form before 2 December 2026. Use our online form 2027 guide.
- Note your home-state school’s Class 9 seats in your category from the table above, and list 6 to 10 backup schools.
- Go through the Sainik School Class 9 syllabus and solve previous year question papers.
- Practise on a real answer sheet with our free Sainik School OMR sheet PDF.
- Take a weekly mock from the test series from December to January.

Sainik School Seat Matrix 2027 Class 9 Boys, 663 Seats : FAQ’s
The AISSEE 2027 bulletin lists 663 Class 9 seats for boys in the 33 Sainik Schools for 2027-28: 440 for home-state boys and 223 for boys from other states. Approved new Sainik Schools add 1,185 boys’ seats and 1,448 gender-neutral seats in Class 9. All numbers are tentative.
Most Sainik School students join in Class 6 and stay till Class 12, so Class 9 seats open only when the school has room. The AISSEE 2027 bulletin says Class 9 vacancies are based on the current strength of Class 12 and gaps in other classes. That is why Class 9 has 663 boys’ seats against 2809 in Class 6.
Four Sainik Schools show zero Class 9 seats in the AISSEE 2027 seat matrix: Bhubaneswar (Odisha), Bijapur (Karnataka), Gopalganj (Bihar) and Jhunjhunu (Rajasthan). The bulletin still advises candidates to choose schools regardless of current vacancies, because seats can open if cadets leave. Check again at e-counselling.
Sainik School Chhingchhip in Mizoram has the most Class 9 seats for boys in AISSEE 2027, with 80 (55 home state and 25 other states). Punglwa in Nagaland is next with 49, followed by Goalpara in Assam with 44, and Rewari and Nalanda with 43 each.
A boy can apply for Class 9 in AISSEE 2027 if he was born between 1 April 2012 and 31 March 2014, both dates included. He must have passed Class 8 from a recognised school by the time of admission. The application fee is ₹850 for General, OBC-NCL and Defence, and ₹700 for SC and ST.
No. NTA calls it a “Tentative List of Vacancies”. For Class 9, the numbers depend on how many cadets leave each school, so they can rise or fall before admission. Vacancies that open later are redistributed by the normal reservation rules. Check the e-counselling portal for the final seat count after the result.
The official Class 9 seat matrix is in the AISSEE 2027 Information Bulletin on exams.nta.nic.in/sainik-school-society. Class 9 seats in the 33 Sainik Schools are in Appendix VI-A1, and Class 9 seats in new Sainik Schools are in Appendix VI-B1. This page lists the same numbers in simple tables.
