Crack RIMC with practice built by a Sainik School alumnus and former Registrar.
Subject-wise English, Mathematics and General Knowledge practice for Class 8 admission, previous year papers, and three-level expert-authored explanations — built by Col Vishal Sharma (Retd.), alumnus of Sainik School Kunjpura and former Registrar at Sainik School Goalpara.
Written exam, viva-voce, then medical fitness.
RIMC Dehradun admits into Class 8 through a written exam conducted twice a year (June and December intakes). The syllabus sits at Class 7–8 level but demands a notably higher English standard and multi-concept application.
| Stage | Subject | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Written | English | 125 |
| Written | Mathematics | 200 |
| Written | General Knowledge | 75 |
| Viva-voce | For candidates scoring 50%+ in each written subject | 50 |
| Total (written) | 400 | |
Candidates who clear the written stage and viva-voce undergo a medical examination at a designated military hospital; final admission depends on merit and medical fitness.
Every subject, at RIMC's standard.
Practice tuned to the exam's actual difficulty — not generic Class 7–8 school content.
English
Comprehension, grammar, vocabulary and essay-writing skills — drilled to RIMC's demanding English standard, the section most candidates underestimate.
Mathematics
Class 7–8 level arithmetic, algebra and geometry with multi-concept, higher-difficulty application — the highest-weightage paper at 200 marks.
General Knowledge
Current affairs, general science, history and geography at an age-appropriate but exam-calibrated level.
Who can apply.
