Last verified: 13 November 2026. The exam date, city-slip and admit-card dates, exam pattern and qualifying marks below are ✅ CONFIRMED from the NTA RMS CET-2026 Information Bulletin as reported by AglaSem (checked against exams.nta.nic.in on 31 October 2026) and cross-checked against Enunciate Academy’s RMS CET guide (1 November 2026). The result and medical/interview dates are the published schedule, not yet confirmed by a fresh NTA notice.

The RMS CET 2026 written exam is on Sunday, 13 December 2026 — exactly 30 days from today. The application window closed on 20 October, the late window on 25 October, and the correction window on 28 October. Nothing is left to file, fix or pay. From here on, it is only preparation — and two downloads.
Here is the thing parents forget in this last month: the exam is not the next deadline. The city slip is. NTA issues the city intimation slip in the last week of November (tentatively around 29 November), and the admit card around 8 December, five to seven days before the exam. Both come only on the official portal, exams.nta.nic.in/rmscet. No post, no SMS with a link — if a message offers you a download link, it is not from NTA.
Thirty days is not the time for new chapters. It is the time for papers. One full-length mock a week, in the exact 2-hour-30-minute window, with the OMR sheet filled in by hand. Between mocks, only the weak section gets new study — everything else gets revision.
For Class 6, remember the qualifying trap: English needs 35% to qualify but does not count in the merit list, while Intelligence, Maths and GK each need 40%. A child who aces Maths and ignores English can still fail the paper. For Class 9, each paper needs 50% — there is no carrying a weak paper with a strong one. And there is no negative marking in either class, so every question gets an answer on exam day.
The written test is only Stage I. The published schedule puts the result in January 2027, followed by the medical examination and interview in February–March 2027, and the final merit list in March 2027, with joining on 1 April 2027. Selection runs through four stages — written test, medical, interview, then a final category-wise merit list — and the interview carries real weight: 20 marks for Class 6, 50 for Class 9. So the child who clears the written test in December should start preparing for the interview, not relax.
Five schools are in play — Chail, Ajmer, Dholpur, Belagavi and Bengaluru — and seats are vacancy-based, so the merit list, not a fixed number, decides who gets in.
Thirty days sounds short. It is also exactly enough — if the next four Sundays are used properly.
