Candidates applying for the Rashtriya Military School Common Entrance Test (RMS CET) 2026 cannot change their registered mobile numbers, email addresses or photographs during the application correction window, according to the National Testing Agency (NTA).
The agency has released a detailed list of editable and non-editable fields in Annexure 1 of its public notice dated October 27, 2026.
While the correction facility is available from October 27 to 28, the rules place restrictions on certain particulars. Candidates can modify several academic and personal details, but changes to some fields are either prohibited or subject to conditions.
According to NTA, candidates will not be permitted to modify the following details:
Registered mobile number
Email address
Permanent and present addresses
Emergency contact details
Candidate's photograph
These particulars will remain unchanged even during the correction period.
NTA has specified that candidates can change only one of the following three fields:
Candidate's name
Father's name
Mother's name
This means applicants cannot modify two or all three name fields during the correction process.
The agency has permitted corrections to several other particulars, including:
Class V and Class VIII equivalent details
Date of birth
Gender
Category
Signature
Thumb impression
Domicile certificate
Birth certificate
Candidates can also modify their examination city selection based on their permanent and present addresses. However, NTA has clarified that it is not bound to allot an examination city according to the choices submitted by candidates.
Candidates who originally registered using an identity document other than Aadhaar will be allowed to change their identity details.
The notice does not extend this permission to all applicants.
NTA has also warned that the correction facility is a one-time opportunity. Once candidates submit their revised application forms, the particulars will be frozen.
If any correction results in an additional fee, candidates must pay the applicable amount before the changes can take effect. The agency has clarified that the fee will not be refunded.
The correction window closes at 11.50 pm on October 28, 2026.
Candidates can access the facility through the official RMS CET portal at exams.nta.nic.in/rmscet/.
Applicants are advised to review all permitted changes carefully before final submission, as NTA will not entertain further correction requests after the deadline.
