Why is the application window so short? Only 2 months from announcement to deadline. Many rural students might miss out due to lack of information. Government should do more awareness campaigns.

The online application process is very smooth now. Much better than 5 years ago when my brother applied. Kudos to MOD for digital transformation! 👏

Does anyone know good coaching centers in Delhi for RIMC entrance preparation? My son is in 6th standard and very keen to join.

RIMC alumni here (Batch of 2002). The foundation it gave me helped throughout my Army career. Current students - work hard, the rewards are lifelong!

The fees seem quite high compared to Sainik Schools. Wish there were more scholarships for meritorious students from economically weaker sections.

As an expat parent in India, I'm impressed by RIMC's reputation. Considering this for my son - does anyone know if they accept foreign nationals?
