NMMS Hall Ticket 2025-26 Released – Check State-Wise Download Links

What is NMMS?

NMMS stands for National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship. It is a scholarship exam for students in Class 8. The idea is to help students from weaker financial backgrounds so they can continue their studies after class 8. The exam has two parts:

  • MAT (Mental Ability Test)

  • SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test)

When you pass the exam, you may get financial help under the scheme.


What is the Admit Card (Hall Ticket) & Why It Matters

  • The admit card is the entry ticket you must bring to the exam centre.

  • It has your name, exam centre, date, time, roll number, etc.

  • Without the admit card, you may not be allowed to enter the exam hall. So it’s very important.

  • It may also have instructions and rules you must follow on exam day.

How to Download NMMS Admit Card 2025-26 (State-Wise)

Here’s how most students will get their hall tickets:

  1. Find the official website of your state education board or SCERT (State Council of Educational Research and Training).

  2. On that website, look for a link like “NMMS Admit Card / Hall Ticket Download”. Sometimes it says NMMS Scholarship Admit Card.

  3. Click that link. You may need to enter your application number, username, password, or other details.

  4. After you fill in correct details, submit and download the admit card.

  5. Print the admit card (if required) or keep a clear digital copy if allowed.


What If Admit Card is Offline / Hard Copy

In some states, instead of online download, they send the admit card to the school. If that is the case:

  • Your school will give you a hard copy.

  • Check with your class teacher or school office.

  • Make sure all details are correct (name, date, centre etc.).


What Details Will Be On the Admit Card

When you get the admit card, look for these things:

  • Your full name

  • Roll number / registration number

  • School name

  • Examination centre address

  • Date and time of exam

  • Paper (MAT / SAT), subject name

  • Any photo (if required)

  • Instructions or rules (what to bring, what not to bring)

If any of these things are wrong, you should contact school authorities or the exam body in your state well before the exam.


Things to Carry on Exam Day

  • Admit Card (printed or as required)

  • Valid photo ID (for example, Aadhaar card, school ID)

  • Stationery needed (pen, pencil etc.)

  • Follow the dress code or any instructions on admit card

Also arrive at the exam centre early. It helps with nerves and you won’t be late.


What to Do if You Can’t Download the Admit Card

  • First check your state’s official portal: education department or SCERT website.

  • Ask your school authorities whether there is a hard copy available.

  • Check if the portal requires some login details you may have missed (registration number etc.).

  • If nothing works, contact the helpline or helpdesk listed on your state’s portal.


Where to Check for Official Information

Use only official websites or portals. Some examples:

  • SCERT of your state (for example, Himachal SCERT, Telangana SCERT)

  • State Education Board websites (e.g. bse.ap.gov.in for Andhra Pradesh)

  • Official government notifications (state government, SCERT)
