Ans: Parineeta Madam, Based on the JEE Main 2026 eligibility criteria, your son can technically appear for JEE Main 2026 using his NIOS certificate, as NIOS is recognized as an equivalent board to CBSE. The eligibility states that candidates who have passed Class 12 in 2024, 2025, or those appearing in 2026 are eligible for JEE Main 2026. For JEE Advanced, he would be eligible if he qualifies through JEE Main and meets the top 2,50,000 rank criteria. However, there are important considerations: while NIOS certificates are legally valid and recognized for higher education, using a fresh NIOS certificate after already passing CBSE might raise questions during counseling verification. Some institutions might scrutinize this approach, though there are precedents of students with multiple board certificates being accepted in counseling. Your son would essentially have two Class 12 certificates, and both would remain valid throughout his life. For government jobs and future employment, NIOS certificates are generally recognized and accepted, though some state governments like Tamil Nadu have specific restrictions. Recommendation: Your son can proceed with NIOS registration for all 5 subjects and use this certificate for JEE 2026, but should keep both certificates (CBSE and NIOS) for verification during counseling, and consider obtaining an affidavit stating both certificates belong to him to avoid potential complications during the admission process. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
