Sir I am actually in big trouble. I Failed 12th last year 2025 FROM CBSE , Failed in PCM AND PASSED ONLY IN ENGLISH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION, THEN I APPEARED AS CBSE PRIVATE CANDIDATE IN 2026 BUT I THINK IM GOING TO FAIL AGAIN IN PCM AND PASS ONLY IN ENGLISH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION. AND THIS TIME I THINK MARKS OF ENGLISH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION WILL BE VERY LOW COMPARED TO LAST YEAR. NOW IM PLANING TO GIVE NIOS ON DEMAND EXAM IN JULY GIVE PCM AGAIN, AND DO TRANSFER OF CREDIT (TOC) IN 2 SUBJECTS THAT I PASSED FROM 2025 MARKSHEET. MY QUESTION IS THAT CAN I GIVE 2025 MARKSHEET INSTEAD OF 2026 MARKSHEET FOR TOC. WILL NIOS BOARD ACCEPT MY 2025 MARKSHEET FOR NIOS ON DEMAND EXAM AND FOR TRANSFER OF CREDIT IN 2 SUBJECTS? I WANT TO JOIN COLLEGE THIS YEAR ONLY IN B TECH FROM ANY PRIVATE UNIVERSITY.

Ans: Rajiv, For CRL 71,261, General, Delhi, give priority to the JAC Delhi counselling process. Target DTU/NSUT lower branches like Mechanical, Production, Civil, Environmental, Biotechnology, and ICE; IIIT-Delhi CSE/ECE is unlikely. JAC Delhi publishes official 2025 round-wise cutoffs for DTU, NSUT, IIIT-D, and IGDTUW. Through JoSAA, CSE/ECE in good NIT/IIIT is unlikely, but fill lower NITs/GFTIs and use CSAB Special Rounds, whose separate cutoffs are officially released. It is also advisable to have a minimum of 4-5 backup options of IPU counselling, JIIT Noida, Thapar, LNMIIT, Shiv Nadar, and Manipal/SRM/VIT (Northern India Campus) instead of relying only on JoSAA/CSAB/JAC-Delhi. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!
