Royal Military College (Maktab Tentera DiRaja)

The Royal Military College (RMC) is one of the most prestigious boarding schools in Malaysia, offering high-quality education. RMC has been established with the objective of preparing young Malaysians to take their places as officers in the Malaysian Armed Forces, in the higher divisions of the public services and as leaders in the professional, commercial and industrial life of the country.

RMC stands out from other schools with its informal environment which rubs off on its students' social consciousness. RMC comprises of male students from a variety of Malaysian races, with the condition that they fulfill the academic and co-curricular requirements. Therefore, the college's social influence teaches its boys to live and learn together, forming them into one family.

Another RMC trademark is its military resocialisation. Boys will come to realise that time must be divided for many activities in this highly regimented environment, where they are given all the necessary facilities and priviliges. In addition, their parents are not burdened with any financial support for their son(s) studying in RMC.

Naturally, discipline is a must at all times.

All these factors combine to make RMC a unique institution.

A new boy enters RMC in Form 4 (as of year 2006 intake) and sits for their SPM in Form 5. Those who do well will continue on to Form 6. RMC boys who do well are often offered scholarships, whether from the government or private sectors.
