House System
The school is divided into four houses. Each cadet is assigned a house at the start of his time in the school and will remain in that house for the whole of their school career. These houses were earlier called Rawlinson, Kitchner and Roberts and the new names were given in the post-independence years. Each house is looked after by one House Master (called Section Master) who is assisted by one or two Section Tutors. There is fierce competition between the houses which well continues for the rest of the life among the Old Boys or the Rimcollians.
The houses are:
| House | House colour |
|---|---|
| Pratap | |
| Ranjit | |
| Shivaji | |
| Chandragupta |

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or system:
“In America a woman loses her independence for ever in the bonds of matrimony. While there is less constraint on girls there than anywhere else, a wife submits to stricter obligations. For the former, her father’s house is a home of freedom and pleasure; for the latter, her husband’s is almost a cloister.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“When the finishing stroke was put to his work, it suddenly expanded before the eyes of the astonished artist into the fairest of all the creations of Brahma. He had made a new system in making a staff, a world with full and fair proportions; in which, though the old cities and dynasties had passed away, fairer and more glorious ones had taken their places.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
