Admissions for the 2027-28 academic session have opened at five Rashtriya Military Schools across India, including Ajmer and Dholpur in Rajasthan. Online applications can be submitted until 20 October. The common entrance test (RMS-CET) is scheduled for 13 December, featuring 200 marks of multiple-choice questions on OMR sheets in Hindi and English. Class 6 candidates face 20 marks of interview after the written test, while Class 9 candidates face 50 marks.
Girls can apply to both Class 6 and 9 this year, a change particularly for Class 9. Age limits are 10 to 13 years as of 31 March 2027 for Class 6, and 13 to 16 years for Class 9. Prior schooling is not required for Class 6, but Class 9 applicants must have passed Class 8. The Class 6 exam covers mental ability, general knowledge, mathematics and English at Class 5 level. The Class 9 exam covers Hindi, social science, English and science at Class 8 level. Fees are Rs 1,000 for general/OBC categories and Rs 750 for SC/ST.
The application window closes 20 October, leaving only 12 days for students and parents to act, tight for anyone still weighing options. The expansion of Class 9 admissions to girls marks a meaningful access shift, though the physical and academic screening demands remain unchanged from previous years. With no registration deadline relaxation hinted, those who miss 20 October forfeit the chance entirely until the next cycle. The common entrance test on 13 December sets a fixed preparation timeline that candidates must now race against.
