The Common Entrance Test (CET) results for admission to Class VI and Class IX for the 2026–2027 academic year have been released by the Rashtriya Military Schools (RMS). In addition to the findings, on February 9, 2026, the schools sent out e-call letters with category specific cut-off marks for the interview round.
On December 7, 2025, the written test for both courses was administered. Candidates had until December 17, 2025, to protest to the tentative answer keys, which were released on December 11, 2025. RMS assessed the results and announced the cut-off scores to shortlist candidates for the following round of selection after examining the complaints and completing the answer keys.
A total of 507 seats are up for grabs throughout all Rashtriya Military Schools for the 2026-2027 academic year, per the preliminary vacancy statistics. Class VI comprises 358 seats, whereas Class IX comprises 149 seats. Additional seats reserved under the Killed in Action category are not counted in the total number of seats.
The official portal allows candidates to obtain their e-call letters for the interview if their scores are equal to or higher than the specified cut-off. The purpose of the interview, a crucial step in the admissions process, is to evaluate candidates’ general suitability.
To guarantee a seamless interview process, applicants are encouraged to closely adhere to the guidelines outlined in their call letters and to frequently check the official RMS admission website for updates.
The cut-off scores for Class VI differ by gender and category. The cut-off is 129 for boys and 132 for girls in the JCOs & OR (General) category, and 138 for both boys and girls in the Civilians (General) category. The cut-offs are generally lower in reserved categories like SC and ST.
With a cut-off of 90 for females and 84 for boys, special consideration has also been provided under the Killed in Action category.
As King George’s Royal Indian Military Schools, Rashtriya Military Schools were founded to educate the offspring of defense officers. The schools were restructured along public school lines in 1952, and both civilians and the sons of defense service officers were eligible to enroll.

The schools were renamed Rashtriya Military School on June 25, 2007.
