The RMS CET 2026 correction window closes tonight, 28 October 2026, at 11:50 PM. It opened on 27 October, it is a one-time facility, and once you submit the corrected form it is frozen. The candidate photograph is locked, but the signature and left thumb impression can be replaced.
NTA's public notice of 27 October says no correction will be entertained after the deadline "under any circumstances". Calling the helpline tomorrow will not reopen it.

The Annexure lists no subject or paper-choice field, so do not expect an add-subject or swap-subject option in this window. Exam city is editable, but NTA says it is not bound to follow the choices you give. It allots the city from your permanent and present addresses. Aadhaar details can be changed only if you registered with an ID other than Aadhaar.
Can I edit my name or photo after submitting?
Your name, yes, with one limit: you may correct any one of candidate name, father's name or mother's name, not all three. So if the mother's name has a spelling error, fix that one and check the other two are already right before you press submit.
The photograph, no. The notice lists it under fields candidates "shall NOT be allowed to change". If you uploaded a wrong photo, the correction window cannot fix it. Contact the NTA helpline on 011-40759000 or 011-69227700, or write to rmscet@nta.gov.in, and keep the application number ready.
Re-uploading a signature or thumb impression that failed
The most common mistake is replacing a clean scan with a phone photo that has a grey shadow. If you are scanning on a phone, our guide to scanning a signature on your phone covers lighting and cropping. Here is what the bulletin accepts.
- Signature: JPG or JPEG, 10 to 50KB, full signature in running handwriting, not in capital letters, black ink on white paper.
- Left thumb impression: JPG or JPEG, 10 to 50KB, blue ink on white paper. A smudged print is rejected, so use the photo resizer to bring a large camera file under 50KB.
- Domicile, birth and SC/ST certificates: PDF, 50 to 300KB each, as per the information bulletin.

If the signature scan is too heavy or too dark, clean it with the signature resizer. The same tool works for a thumb scan. For a heavy certificate PDF, the original size rules are in our RMS CET 2026 upload sizes post.
How to correct the form tonight
- Open exams.nta.nic.in/rmscet and log in with your application number and password.
- Open the correction link and check which fields are unlocked for you.
- Change only what is wrong, and upload the new signature or thumb file if needed.
- Pay the additional fee if the screen asks for one, then submit before 11:50 PM.
To know the window is genuine, check three things: the notice is dated 27 October 2026, it sits on exams.nta.nic.in/rmscet, and it carries the NTA Director (Exams) signature. Do not trust a deadline quoted anywhere else.
Do not wait for the last hour. Payment by card, net banking or UPI can fail on a busy night, and a pending payment is not a submission. Take a screenshot of the confirmation once it appears.
Fee, refund and what happens after
If a change affects the fee, you pay the extra amount, and NTA says it will not be reimbursed. Correction in a field counts only after that payment, if any. The exam is on 13 December 2026. The bulletin FAQ gives 29 November for the city intimation slip and 8 December for the admit card, both tentative, so check the portal for the live dates.
Checklist before you press submit
- Only one of the three names changed, and the spelling matches your school record.
- Date of birth matches the birth certificate you uploaded.
- Signature and thumb files are JPG, 10-50KB, and open on your phone without a blur.
- Certificates are PDFs between 50KB and 300KB.
- Fee paid, if one was asked, and the confirmation screenshot saved.
