The results are out now for 12th CBSE Boards, Im an NRI and i've failed and placed as "essential repeat" can i give an exam through NIOS board for my failed subjects (2 subjects) and continue with my college application, and will i still be considered an NRI.
Ans: If a subject is marked "essential repeat," you cannot retake only the failed subjects in CBSE; however, you can take those subjects through NIOS and use the NIOS certificate for college applications. However, I suggest you to approach your school where you studied your 12th Grade for further clarification. Please note, your NRI status remains unchanged regardless of the board. All the best for your bright future!
