NMMS 2026-27 (National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship Scheme) is one of India's most important scholarships for Class 8 students. After NSP opens applications from 01 June 2026 to 31 August 2026, students wait for the state-wise NMMS exam dates.

NMMS Registration happens in two stages:
(1) State-level application for the NMMS EXAM
(2) NSP-level application for the SCHOLARSHIP disbursement (after qualifying)

👉 The NMMS exam application dates vary by state.
👉 The NSP dates (01 June 2026 – 31 August 2026) are only for students who have already qualified to submit scholarship forms.

This article provides updated and expected NMMS exam dates for all states, along with official notifications and latest announcements.
