Rashtriya Military School, Belgaum is one of five military schools in India. Entrance tests for the military schools are held every year in December. About 70,000 to 80,000 students attend this test and around 350 students are selected. The schools are run by the Ministry Of Defence for the Indian government.
It was established in 1945 and it is one of the only five RMS (Rashtriya Military School which were formerly called Royal Indian Military Schools) of its kind in India; the other four being Chail Military School founded in 1922, Ajmer Military School in 1930, Bangalore Military School in 1946 and Dholpur Military School in 1962.[1] RIMC (established in 1922), RIMs and various Sainik Schools contribute 25% to 30% to various training academies of the Armed Forces. 1 RIMC and 5 RMS were established by the government after World War I to Indianise the British Colonial Military in India by providing western style education with the aim to prepare the potential pool of future military officers.
