Can I Take HSC Exam Again in Feb-Mar 2025 if I Already Took Improvement Exam in 2024?

Ans: For IIITH DASA, Chemistry must be completed and certified outside India as part of your qualifying examination. Taking Chemistry via NIOS (India) will not be accepted. Taking AP or IB Chemistry overseas may be accepted if it results in a recognized certificate. Split mark sheets from different boards are generally not accepted unless the university specifically allows it-wait for IIITH’s official clarification, but plan to get all three subjects on a single, recognized overseas certificate if possible. All The Best.

Ans: Hello;

Firstly check with your family if some of your family members have withdrawn it on your behalf.

Double check with EPFO if they are referring to the correct EPF account.

If not then please file a grievance with EPFIGMS grievance redressal portal of EPFO.

If you still do not get proper response you need to send legal notice through your lawyer/EPF consultant for claim of EPF and pension and also file Police complaint for fraud.

Ans: Mamta, If your interest in biology and medicine is growing and you genuinely see yourself as a surgeon, consider focusing on NEET. If your passion for technology and aerospace remains stronger, continue with JEE. Both fields are prestigious and offer rewarding careers, but your long-term satisfaction will depend on aligning your studies with your true interests and strengths. Take some time to reflect, talk to professionals in both fields, and, if possible, shadow them to get real-world insights. Your decision should be based on what excites and motivates you most for the years ahead. All the best for your Bright Future!

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!

Ans: Madam, based on your Son's Score in JEE/TS EAMCET, BITSAT will be highly challenging for him as BITS need minimum 300 out of 390 marks for high-in-demand branches. As far as VITEE is concerned, please note that your son may get CSE (AI & ML) at VIT in Category 4, but the fees will be very high in this category. VIT has good placements, especially for CSE and AI/ML, but the cost in Category 4 is a significant factor. As far as TS EAMCET is concerned, it is unlikely to get CSE (AI & ML) in top government or reputed private colleges in Telangana (like JNTU, OU, CBIT, Vasavi, etc.). He may get lower-tier private colleges, but placements may not be as strong. Please try to have some other options by applying to some other colleges in your state which considers your son's JEE/TS EAMCET/12th Grade Score. All the best for your Son's admissions!

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!
