I passed Class 12 from CBSE but later improved 4 subjects via NIOS, so I have 2 marksheets. Will NITs, IIITs (JoSAA) & private colleges (VIT, MHT CET, WBJEE) accept them? How should I fill JEE form to avoid issues? Any proof or past cases? Please Help

Hello,

Yes, NITs, IIITs (JoSAA), and private colleges (VIT, MHT CET, WBJEE) generally accept NIOS improvement marksheets if they meet the eligibility criteria. While filling the JEE form, enter details from the latest marksheet (NIOS improved subjects) to avoid confusion. Past cases show students with NIOS improvement getting admission. However, check specific college policies, as some may have restrictions on improvement exams from open boards.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you

Hello there,

Yes, you are eligible for NITs, IIITs (through JoSAA), and private colleges like VIT, MHT CET, and WBJEE, even with two mark sheets (CBSE + NIOS improvement). Here’s how to proceed:

1. Eligibility for JoSAA (NITs & IIITs)

• JoSAA considers the best of two marksheets if you have improved through NIOS.
  
  
• As long as you meet the 75% (or top 20 percentile) criteria , you are eligible.
  
  
• Some students with CBSE+NIOS marksheets have successfully joined NITs/IIITs in previous years.
  
  2. Eligibility for Private Colleges (VIT, MHT CET, WBJEE)
  
  
• VIT: Accepts improvement exams, but you must meet their minimum aggregate requirement.
  
  
• MHT CET: The Maharashtra CET Cell allows improvement exams, but check their latest brochure.
  
  
• WBJEE: Past candidates with improvement marksheets have been accepted.
  
  3. How to Fill the JEE Form
  
  
• Use the latest NIOS-improved marksheet details in the JEE form.
  
  
• Enter NIOS as the board for improved subjects and CBSE for the original exam.
  
  
• Keep both marksheets for verification during JoSAA counseling.
  
  4. Proof & Past Cases
  
  
• JoSAA has previously allowed students with multiple marksheets.
• AICTE and UGC guidelines confirm that NIOS is a valid board for eligibility.
  
  5. What to Do Next?
  
  
• Before applying, check the latest JoSAA and state counseling brochures .
  
  
• Keep both marksheets and an affidavit (if needed) stating they belong to you .
  
  
• For MHT CET/WBJEE, verify with their official helpdesk before application.

If you meet the eligibility conditions, you won’t face issues in admission.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.
