Hello Team, my brother gave his 12 class exams with PCB in March 2025. Is it possible to get into engineering next year by giving an additional Mathematics exam ? There are certain doubts that:-
1. Can he give only class 12th additional Mathematics exam ?
2. Does JOSAA accept two marksheets ? The original PCB marksheet + The additional Mathematics marksheet ?
Ans: Anmol, Your brother can pursue engineering next year by appearing for an additional Mathematics exam. Most Indian school boards allow students to appear for an additional subject after completing their Class 12th. The result will be issued as an additional marksheet or combined marksheet, depending on the board. JoSAA requires candidates to have passed 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects for B.Tech eligibility. Acceptance depends on whether the additional Mathematics marksheet is considered "equivalent" to a regular 12th-grade pass with PCM. Alternative solutions include giving JEE with Additional Math, pursuing a 3-year Diploma in Engineering (Polytechnic) and entering into the 2nd year of B.Tech via Lateral Entry Exams (LEET), or attending private/deemed universities. It is important to consult your brother's board to ensure they allow only additional Math and the marksheet will be valid for engineering entrance eligibility. All the Best for Your Admissions!
