Age limit. The bulletin does not set one common age limit for all entries. Age criteria are as promulgated by the Recruiting Directorate (for ACC 10+2, ACC Graduate and SCO) and by DGAFMS (for MED NT).

How to Apply for Army Cadet College CEE 2027

1. Go to the official portal https://exams.nta.nic.in/acccee/ and read the full Information Bulletin before starting the form.
2. Enter the mobile number registered with the Army Education Directorate. An OTP is sent to that number for verification.
3. Enter your RUID (Randomised Unique Identity) issued by the Army Education Directorate. The RUID is issued only to candidates whose complete details reached the Directorate on time — incomplete or late submissions will not generate an RUID, so this step cannot be completed at the last minute.
4. Fill in the application form for your single chosen entry — ACC (10+2)-136, SCO Series 61/Med (NT) or ACC (Graduate)-136.
5. Upload the photograph and signature in the sizes given below, choosing up to two examination cities.
6. Pay the fee online and submit the form before the closing time for your window — 30 November 2026 without late fee, or 1–3 December 2026 with the Rs 500 late fee.
7. Use the correction window on 5–6 December 2026 if any detail needs fixing, and keep a printout of the submitted form.

What is the RUID? The RUID is a Randomised Unique Identity allotted by the Army Education Directorate to eligible serving personnel. It is validated against the mobile number registered with the Directorate. Without a valid RUID, the online form cannot be completed — so candidates whose details have not reached the Directorate must contact it immediately, not on the last date.
