Does mhtcet councelling process for engineering accept two marksheets one from hsc as I'm a pcb student and other from nios maths isolated?

Ans: Yes, MHT CET counselling accepts PCB HSC marksheet along with a separate NIOS Mathematics marksheet for engineering eligibility. Yet, it is highly recommended to refer to the brochure published by the Maharashtra CET cell for the eligibility criteria. The amendments in the rules are always made over time.

Good luck.

Sir I'm not getting a clear clarification anywhere , I don't know what to do?
Ans: You can use both marksheets for MHT CET engineering eligibility, combining your PCB result with your isolated NIOS Mathematics result. Ensure that both your HSC and NIOS marksheets are issued by recognized boards.
Are you preparing for 2026, or does it seem like you are focused on 2025? It is not clear from your query. Talking about 2025, the admission/counseling process is in the last phase. i.e., you might be aiming for 2026. (Please clarify clearly if you are not yet satisfied)

I'm aiming mhtcet pcm 2026
Ans: It is better to take the board examination with PCMB in 2026 for peace of mind. You can appear for any subjects for the board, even if they are not offered in college. Please contact the administrative office of your college to resolve the dilemma in your mind. Forget about NIOS and focus on your PCMB subjects; all should be taken together for the board examination.

Final suggestion - You have plenty of time. Don't appear for NIOS only for isolated mathematics. Instead, sit for your board examination with PCMB subjects.

But do engineering colleges usually accept these two marksheets one from hsc pcb and other from nios
Ans: Already replied to your questions. Engineering colleges accept these two mark sheets, one from the HSC PCB and the other from NIOS.

Final suggestion - You have plenty of time. Don't appear for NIOS only for isolated mathematics. Instead, sit for your board examination with PCMB subjects.

Thanks.

Sir, I had passed my 12th(pcb) in 2023 from Maharashtra board...was preparing for neet but unfortunately couldn't make it. Now I'm planning to switch my career to engineering..so for that i need to add maths.. Can i give an isolated maths exam of hsc board exam next year in feb/march & then appear for mhtcet(pcm)..Will i be eligible?! .. I have few important doubts:- 1)if i pass isolated maths..i will get another marksheet..so i will have 2 marksheets..one of 12th pcb(2023) & one of isolated maths(2026)..so will this cause any problem during admission in engineering colleges of maharashtra? I mean will two seperate marksheets be accepted during cap counselling for engineering admission? 2)If i score well enough in mhtcet(pcm)2026..Can I do btech cse from top engineering colleges of maharashtra like coep pune or vjti?! Or any other engineering colleges of maharashtra. 3) Do i need to repeat full class 12th via NIOS(i mean do i need to appear for all subjects again from open board),or is appearing for only maths enough through maharashtra hsc board via isolated exam. . Please guide me sir, I want to follow the correct path and avoid wasting another year.Your response would mean a lot to me.
Ans: Hello dear.
Here is the pointwise reply to your questions: (1) The Maharashtra HSC Board allows isolated subject improvement like Maths. Once you clear it, you'll be eligible for MHT CET (PCM). (2) Will having two separate mark sheets cause problems? - No, it won’t be an issue. During CAP counselling, you can submit your 2023 HSC PCB marksheet and your 2026 Maths marksheet. They are accepted together for eligibility as long as all subjects are cleared from a recognized board (MSBSHSE). (3) You can get admission to top colleges like COEP or VJTI if and only if you clear Maths (HSC) and score high in MHT CET PCM. (4) There is no need to repeat the full 12th via NIOS. Just appearing for Maths as an isolated subject from the Maharashtra board is enough. Our final suggestions are as follows: (a) prepare seriously for HSC Maths (2026), (b) focus on MHT CET PCM 2026, (c) you’re eligible for engineering admissions once both are cleared, and (d) avoid NIOS unless you want to change all subjects (which is not necessary in your case).
Good luck!

Sir, My son has appeared in Class X ICSE Exam and results are awaited. So far , he has been an average performer academically. I believe he is capable and he can do great if he puts in the hard work. His performance in subjects like History/Geography etc has always been better than in Maths/science. I personally never wanted to force him to choose any stream for higher studies. He also is not sure about it. While discussing I suggested him to go for Commerce or humanities stream and then for MBA from a reputed institution. However, he is more concerned about job opportunities and wanted to go for science. Hence, after a lot of discussion, we have got him admitted in Science stream in Delhi and also got him enrolled in Allen for JEE Coaching. We thought if he adapts well and gets going, then may be he can achieve good result. Otherwise, we may decide to change stream after Class XII. What is your opinion? Request for your suggestion please
Ans: Shyam Sir, I have thoroughly reviewed your son’s background. You haven’t mentioned whether he is continuing with the ISC board or has enrolled in the CBSE board with Allen-JEE coaching for this 11th/12th Grade. Firstly, I recommend a psychometric test for your son to gain a rough idea of the most suitable career options for him.

Secondly, job opportunities exist across domains, but to be competitive, your son must have passion and interest in his chosen field and continuously upgrade both technical and soft skills relevant to that domain.

Thirdly, besides understanding suitable career options through the psychometric test, ask him what types of problems he is interested in solving in the future.

Fourthly, since you mentioned his performance is better in History and Geography than in Science and Maths, Allen-JEE coaching would be suitable only if he is truly interested in Maths and Science. If not, his performance may fall short of expectations, leading to demotivation.

My suggestion is to consider enrolling him in the Arts/Humanities stream with a focus on Geography-centric subjects. Later, he can pursue civil services, media, law, or management studies. Reassess his progress after about a year (by December 2026), focusing on his interest, mental health, and realistic performance rather than perceived job security alone.

Before he completes 11th grade (by February 2026), you both can collectively decide and start preparing for entrance exams in law, media, or management (CUET, CLAT, IPMAT, NPAT, SET etc.) based on his interests and future plans. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Sir my son is expected to score 90+% in 12th boards typically between 93-95% of board marks .. and 90% and above pcm cutoff .. is he now eligible with this met score of 125 marks and 12th score for admission in mit manipal mechanical? . . Also i need a guidance about aeee also . Since my son scored 90.3 percentile in aeee entrance phase . Is he eligible for slab 1 mechanical engineering in aeee ? Kindly support pl
Ans: Bala Sir, I have already addressed the first part of your question, confirming that the chances of him getting admission into the Mechanical branch at Manipal are higher. The official handbook of AMRITA states that seat allotment and scholarship consideration are done through CSAP allotment. Your son may secure a Mechanical seat, but Slab 1 cannot be guaranteed unless his final AEEE rank or JEE percentile is strong enough at the time of CSAP choice allotment. Slab 1 is based on merit ranking, not raw marks. His 125 AEEE marks will be converted into a rank relative to all candidates; if many score higher, the Slab 1 cutoff will rise. Therefore, raw marks alone do not guarantee Slab 1.

The chance of getting a Mechanical seat from Slab 2 is moderate at Amrita Coimbatore and highly probable at the Bengaluru campus. It’s advisable to have 2-3 backup options besides Manipal and Amrita. Mechanical Engineering is generally less competitive than CSE or ECE, but having backups is still wise. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!
