Hello Sir I am passed class 10 in 2022 from cbse and 12 paased in 2024 with 68% and not give jee in that year. And next year i am appear in JEE Mains 2025 and get good percentile 97 but not get sit in jossa counsilling because low percent in class 12th so my question is can i appear for UP Board 2026 as a fresh candidate or in the open NIOS Board 2026 as a fresh candidate which is better but sir i am going with UP BOARD more . And one thing is that my class 10th in 2022 and class 12th in 2026 the 4 year gap does not affect my eligiblity in jee mains and jossa counsilling . Or can I do from up board class 12 is good or not please clear sir ?

Ans: Welcome.
You can appear as a fresh candidate in any board, and then you are eligible to appear for JEE (Mains) and JEE (Adv). A 4-year gap will not affect your eligibility for JEE (Mains) and JOSSA counseling. You can complete 12th grade either from the UP or NIOS board, whichever suits you. Last but not least suggestion - Instead of focusing on JEE, better to appear for a state-level engineering entrance test and take admission to a reputed engineering college and to the desired branch to save your time and frustration that comes with JEE.
Follow me if you like the reply. Thanks

Career

Hello Sir, Sir My question is that I have scored 60%( up board ) in class 12th now I am not able to understand what should I do now I have to give JEE exam in april attempt and got 73% ile . Sir should I fill the improvement form now or should I fill the form for private candidate OR Is there any other way so that I can give JEE 2026 please sir guide me.

Ans: Santosh, If you are not satisfied with your 60% in UP Board Class 12, you can appear for the improvement exam next year to improve your marks. This is recommended if you want to meet higher percentage criteria for some colleges or for better confidence in JEE. As Private Candidate: If you want to appear as a private candidate, you can do so through UP Board. This is similar to the improvement exam, but is usually chosen if you need to reappear in all subjects or if you missed regular exams. For most students, the improvement exam is sufficient. For JEE Main, you must have passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics from a recognized board. For admission to IITs, NITs, and CFTIs, you must have at least 75% marks (or be in the top 20 percentile) in your board exams. If you want to get into IITs, NITs, or top engineering colleges, improving your board marks to 75% or above is important. Fill the improvement exam form for UP Board for 2026. This will allow you to improve your marks and use the new mark sheet for JEE admissions. You can appear for JEE 2026 as long as you pass Class 12 in 2024, 2025, or 2026. Keep preparing for both JEE and your improvement exam. All the best for your Bright Future!

I got 92 percentile in mhtcet is it possible to get admission in pune private eng colleges through all india quota solely on mhtcet score

Ans: With a 92 percentile in MHT CET, it is possible to get admission in some private engineering colleges in Pune through the All India Quota, but it might not be for the most sought-after branches or colleges. While a 92 percentile is a good score, the competition for seats in popular branches like Computer Science or Information Technology in top-tier colleges through the All India quota might be high.

Ans: With 100 marks in the IISER IAT for the general category, securing a seat in the top or mid-tier IISERs is unlikely, but there's a chance of getting into the newer IISERs like Berhampur or Tirupati. The cutoff for general category is typically above 120-130 for the older IISERs, according to Shiksha.com. However, the newer IISERs might have cutoffs around 105-115,

Which college we get for cse when I scored 95.53 in mhtcet

Ans: With a score of 95 (assuming this is out of 200, which is the usual maximum for MHT CET) and 53 percentile, it's unlikely you'll get into the top tier engineering colleges for Computer Science (CSE) in Maharashtra, like COEP or VJTI. However, you still have options for good private colleges via the CAP rounds or management quota.
