How we registered for NMMS exam

Hello there,

To register for the NMMS (National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship) exam, students need to apply through their state or UT’s official education department portal. Generally, the process involves your school filling out the application on your behalf. You must collect the application form from your school, fill in your details, attach the required documents like income certificate, caste certificate (if applicable), previous class mark sheet, and passport-size photos. The filled form is then submitted to the school head, who forwards it to the state education authority. Some states allow direct online registration where you create a login, fill out the form, upload documents, and pay the fee online. Always check the notification dates released by your state to avoid missing deadlines.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
