5 Days Left: RIMC Class 8 Form Still Open Till 7 October, Late Fee Rs 500
The regular deadline for the Rashtriya Indian Military College entrance exam ended on 30 September. If you missed it, the door is still open. NTA is accepting RIMCEE 2026 forms with a late fee until 7 October.
This exam is for RIMC Class 8 admission at the Rashtriya Indian Military College in Dehradun, for the July 2027 term. The National Testing Agency is conducting the exam, and the application process is fully online. No hard copy of the form is needed.
RIMC Class 8 admission: who can apply
Two conditions decide eligibility. The student must be studying in Class 7, or must have already passed Class 7 from a recognised school. The date of birth must fall between 2 July 2013 and 1 January 2015.
Parents should read the official information bulletin before starting the form. The bulletin is the final word on age, domicile, and other rules. Keep it handy while filling in details, because small errors become hard to fix after the correction window closes.
Fees: what you will pay now
Candidates from the General category, OBC-NCL, and wards of defence personnel and ex-servicemen pay Rs 1,000. SC and ST candidates pay Rs 750. Since the regular deadline of 30 September has passed, everyone applying now pays an additional Rs 500 late fee.
The fee is paid online through credit card, debit card, net banking, or UPI. Submit the form first, then complete the payment, and save the confirmation page. Students tracking other latest admission alerts should note that late-fee windows almost never get extended.
How to fill the RIMC form before 7 October
Start early and keep scanned copies of all documents ready before you open the portal. Here is the process:
- Go to the NTA RIMCEE application portal and open the RIMC Entrance Examination December 2026 link under candidate activities.
- Choose new registration and enter the student’s name, father’s name, mobile number, and email ID. The login credentials are generated after this step.
- Log in and fill in personal, parent, domicile, category, and school details carefully. Pick the exam city from the list.
- Upload the photograph, birth certificate, domicile certificate, category certificate if applicable, school studying certificate, signature, and left thumb impression in the format the portal specifies.
- Preview every field, pay the fee, and submit. Download the confirmation page for your records.
The documents list is similar to the college admission documents checklist most Indian institutions ask for, so families who have done admissions before will find it familiar. Aadhaar is commonly needed for the online registration, and the name on every document should match.
Missed the September 30 deadline? You still have five days. Submit the form before October 7, double-check every detail, and read the information bulletin on the official RIMC website before you pay.
Exam on 6 December, correction window on 9 October
The written exam will be held on 6 December 2026 in pen-and-paper mode at centres across the country. This is Stage 1 of the selection. Once the late window closes, NTA will open the application correction window from 9 to 11 October for students who need to fix mistakes in their forms.
Entrance-exam season is busy right now. The CAT 2026 application correction window opens on 5 October, and counselling rounds for several professional courses are also underway. If RIMC is on your list, treat 7 October as a hard stop and do not wait for the last evening to apply.
