Will I be eligible for JEE mains and advance after giving class 12th from NIOS again? I am a pcb student who passed out of class 12th with pcb, English and IP in 2024. I don't want to continue in this path and do btech cse instead. I have also taken maths through on demand NIOS exam. Nevertheless my options are very limited as far as I can see for btech colleges due to my two marksheets (pcb from cbse and maths from nios). I'm not eligible for JOSAA counseling and didn't give JEE this year. I don't feel like settling for a bad college so I was thinking about taking a second drop to give NIOS public exam in October 2025 with pcmb and English. And at last aim for JEE mains, advance, comedk etc. I'm just wondering if I will be eligible after all this. Whether it be JEE mains or advanced. I tried to reach out to NTA helplines but no response.
