Quick answer: The RMS CET 2026 admit card will be released on the NTA website exams.nta.nic.in/rmscet about 5–7 days before the exam. The exam is on Sunday, 13 December 2026, so expect the admit card around 6–8 December 2026. The city intimation slip, which tells you the exam city, comes first, 12–15 days before the exam (last week of November 2026). The admit card is not sent by post.
