The National Testing Agency (NTA) has revised the Social Science syllabus for students appearing in the Class 9 Rashtriya Military Schools Common Entrance Test (RMS CET) 2026. The agency has issued a corrigendum detailing the changes and updated topics that candidates will need to cover while preparing for the entrance examination.
The revision is specifically applicable to the Class 9 Social Science paper. Students preparing for the examination should refer to the updated syllabus instead of relying entirely on the earlier version. The revised syllabus is available on the official NTA website, exams.nta.nic.in/rmscet.
The updated syllabus covers topics from history, geography, civics, economics and India’s cultural heritage. It is organised into two parts under the textbook Exploring Society: India and Beyond.

RMS CET 2026: What Should Class 9 Aspirants Note?
The syllabus revision is limited to Social Science for the Class 9 RMS entrance examination. Candidates appearing for other classes or subjects should note that the corrigendum does not announce any changes to their syllabus.
The NTA has also clarified that the other terms, instructions and provisions mentioned in its earlier public notice will remain unchanged. Students should therefore continue following the existing examination guidelines while preparing according to the revised Social Science topics.
Candidates can visit the official RMS CET portal at exams.nta.nic.in/rmscet to access the revised syllabus and the latest examination-related announcements.
