Context

Exact percentages and categories: read the year’s AISSEE Information Bulletin.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is AISSEE the same as RMS CET?
No. AISSEE (NTA) is for Sainik Schools. RMS uses a separate Common Entrance Test for its five campuses. RIMC has yet another exam.
Can girls apply?
Many Sainik Schools and RMS now admit girls for notified classes/sessions. Rules evolve—confirm in the latest official brochure for the school type you want.
Do I need a separate page for each school’s form?
For Sainik Schools, applications go through the central AISSEE portal with school preferences—not 33 different school forms. RMS and RIMC use their own central processes.
What class should my child target?
Sainik & RMS commonly open Class VI and IX. RIMC targets Class VIII. Age must match the exact notification window.
Are New Sainik Schools (partnership mode) listed here?
This explorer prioritises traditional Sainik Schools, five RMS and RIMC. Partnership-mode New Sainik Schools are approved separately—check MoD / SSO updates for that list.
