The results indicate the highly competitive nature of admission to RIMC. Across India, 168 boys successfully cleared all three written papers, while 46 girls qualified for the viva-voce stage.

Among boys, some of the states recording the largest numbers of qualified candidates include:
- Uttar Pradesh – approximately 38 candidates

RIMC Entrance Examination Was Held on 7 June 2026
The written examination for admission to the January 2027 term was conducted on Sunday, 7 June 2026, at designated examination centres across different states and Union Territories.
The RIMC written examination consists of three subjects — Mathematics, General Knowledge and English — carrying a combined maximum of 400 marks.
The examination pattern was as follows:
| Subject | Maximum Marks | Minimum Qualifying Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | 200 | 100 |
| English | 125 | 62.5 |
| General Knowledge | 75 | 38 |
| Total | 400 | Candidate must qualify each subject |
Candidates are required to obtain at least 50% marks separately in every subject. A high aggregate score alone cannot compensate for failure to secure the prescribed minimum marks in an individual paper.
Mathematics and General Knowledge papers can be answered in either Hindi or English, while the English paper has to be answered in English.
The state-wise result sheets provide subject-wise marks and the total marks secured by candidates. Candidates who have passed all the required subjects are identified as qualified for the subsequent stage.
RIMC’s official results for its admission cycles also specify that “AB” represents a candidate who was absent in the concerned subject, and that viva-voce arrangements for qualified candidates are handled through the respective states.
Eligibility for RIMC January 2027 Admission
The June 2026 examination was conducted for admission to the RIMC term commencing in January 2027.
For this admission cycle, candidates were required to fulfil the prescribed age and educational requirements.
Age Limit
Candidates should have been between 11½ and 13 years of age as on 1 January 2027.
Accordingly, eligible candidates were required to have been born:
Not earlier than 2 January 2014 and not later than 1 July 2015.
Parents should note that RIMC has subsequently announced revised age criteria beginning with the December 2026 entrance examination for the July 2027 term, under which the age range changes to 12½–14 years. That revised rule does not apply retrospectively to the June 2026 examination for January 2027 admission.
Educational Qualification
Candidates must be studying in Class VII or must have passed Class VII from a recognised school at the time of admission to RIMC.
RIMC officially confirms that admissions are made only to Class VIII, and the candidate must be studying in or have passed Class VII at the relevant stage of admission.
What Happens After the RIMC Written Result?
Clearing the written examination is only the first major stage of the RIMC admission process.
Candidates shortlisted through the written examination will now proceed through the following stages.
1. Viva-Voce
Qualified candidates will be called for a viva-voce carrying 50 marks.
The viva-voce is generally organised by the respective state governments rather than centrally at RIMC, Dehradun.
The concerned state authorities will communicate the:
- Date of viva-voce
- Reporting time
- Interview venue
- Other instructions for candidates
RIMC’s official admission information confirms that the selection process comprises the written examination, viva-voce and medical fitness assessment.
Candidates should therefore monitor communications from their respective state governments, education departments or other designated authorities instead of relying solely on the RIMC website for the interview schedule.
The viva-voce is designed to assess aspects such as the candidate’s intelligence, awareness, confidence, communication ability and overall personality.
Candidates are required to obtain at least 50% marks in the viva-voce to qualify.
2. Medical Examination
Candidates who qualify the viva-voce will subsequently be required to undergo a medical examination at designated military medical establishments or hospitals.
Admission to RIMC is subject to the candidate being declared medically fit under the prescribed standards.
Candidates who do not meet the required medical standards cannot be considered for final admission even if they have performed well in the written examination and viva-voce.
3. Final Merit and Admission
Final selection is prepared after considering the candidate’s performance in the written examination and viva-voce, subject to medical fitness and the number of available vacancies.
RIMC traditionally admits a relatively small batch of cadets in each term, making the complete selection process extremely competitive.

Parents are advised to download and preserve a copy of the result for future reference.
Documents Candidates Should Keep Ready
Candidates shortlisted for the viva-voce should begin preparing their documents rather than waiting until the interview schedule is announced.
Depending upon the instructions issued by the concerned state authority, candidates may be asked to produce original or attested copies of documents such as:
- Birth certificate
- School certificate
- Class VII study or passing certificate
- Domicile or residence certificate
- Aadhaar card or other identity proof
- Passport-size photographs
- Category certificate, wherever applicable
- Application-related documents
- RIMC entrance examination admit card
- Copy of the written result
Candidates should follow the exact document requirements issued by their respective state authorities.
How Should Candidates Prepare for the RIMC Viva-Voce?
Candidates who have qualified the written examination should now shift their focus from written preparation to personality and communication-based preparation.
The interview is not merely a test of memorised facts. Candidates should be capable of interacting naturally and confidently with the interview board.
Preparation should include a basic understanding of current national and international affairs, India and its Armed Forces, important personalities, geography, history, sports and developments relevant to a student of their age.
Candidates should also be prepared to answer questions about themselves, including their:
- Family
- School
- Favourite subjects
- Hobbies
- Sports and extracurricular activities
- Friends
- Strengths and interests
- Reasons for wanting to join RIMC
- Ambitions and career interests
Young aspirants should avoid memorising artificial answers. Clear thinking, confidence, curiosity, honesty and the ability to communicate naturally are more important.
Reading a newspaper regularly and discussing major current events with parents or teachers can also be beneficial.
About Rashtriya Indian Military College
The Rashtriya Indian Military College, popularly known as RIMC, is located at Garhi Cantt in Dehradun, Uttarakhand.
The institution traces its origins to the Prince of Wales Royal Indian Military College, which was inaugurated on 13 March 1922.
RIMC is an Inter Services institution and a Category ‘A’ establishment functioning under the Ministry of Defence.
Over more than a century, the institution has built an exceptional reputation for academic excellence, discipline, leadership development, physical fitness and military-oriented education.
RIMC serves as an important feeder institution for young candidates aspiring to subsequently enter institutions such as the National Defence Academy (NDA) and pursue careers as commissioned officers in the Indian Armed Forces.
The college provides its cadets with a carefully structured environment combining academics, sports, adventure activities, discipline and leadership training.
Admission to RIMC Is Only in Class VIII
Unlike most conventional schools, RIMC does not conduct admissions across multiple classes.
Entry is made exclusively into Class VIII through the RIMC Entrance Examination and subsequent selection stages. The official RIMC website confirms this Class VIII-only admission structure.
Both boys and girls are eligible for admission subject to fulfilling the applicable age, educational and other conditions prescribed for the relevant admission cycle.
The limited intake coupled with nationwide competition makes RIMC one of the toughest school-level entrance processes in India.
Clearing the Written Examination Is a Major Achievement
For the 168 boys and 46 girls shortlisted from the June 2026 written examination, the declaration of results represents an important milestone.
However, candidates must remember that the selection process is not yet complete.
Their immediate objective should now be to prepare seriously for the viva-voce while ensuring that all required certificates and documents are kept ready.
Candidates who subsequently clear the interview will still have to fulfil the prescribed medical fitness requirements before being considered for final admission.
Important Advice for Parents
Parents should rely only on communications issued by RIMC, the Ministry of Defence and the respective state authorities regarding subsequent stages.
Do not rely on unofficial messages circulating through WhatsApp, Telegram or social media regarding interview dates or selection status.
The viva-voce schedule may vary from one state to another because interviews are organised through the respective state authorities.
Parents should therefore regularly monitor the official RIMC website as well as notifications issued by their concerned state government.
RIMC Result June 2026: What Candidates Should Do Now
Qualified candidates should now:
- Download and save their official written result.
- Confirm that their name and roll number appear among the qualified candidates.

- Begin preparation for the viva-voce.

Conclusion
The declaration of the RIMC Entrance Examination June 2026 written result for the January 2027 term has moved the admission process into its next crucial phase.
With 168 boys and 46 girls qualifying for the viva-voce, successful candidates will now compete through the interview and medical stages for the limited number of seats available at Rashtriya Indian Military College, Dehradun.
Clearing the RIMC written examination itself is a commendable achievement considering the level of competition and the demanding subject-wise qualifying standards.
Candidates should now concentrate on the viva-voce, remain attentive to notifications issued by their respective state authorities and keep all required documents ready.
For official and authoritative information regarding results, viva-voce schedules, medical examination and final admission, candidates and parents should refer to rimc.edu.in and communications issued by the respective state governments.
