but i searched on Google and it says there is no problem, I also checked the official page for this and there is no restriction on Nios. I also asked the coaching academy counsler regarding this before, and they also said it is no problem. i am only confused because I have below 50 marks in bio.
Ans: In neet brochure page no 20 read the CODE 02, which reads as below
Candidates who have passed Class 12 from Open School or as private candidates shall
not be eligible to appear for the ‘National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test’. Furthermore,
a study of Biology/Biotechnology as an Additional Subject at Class 12 level also shall
not be permissible.*

This has been challenged in various high courts and might be accepted. In your case you already had PCB and then you gave bio separately through NIOS too. It's bit ambiguous.

If you can improve your biology score in boards through improvement exam it will be much better.

As per my JEE main result I may get admission in following college: BIT Mesra- ECE branch THAPAR - CSE IIIT KOTA- CSE IIIT Ngpur- CSE IIIT Guwahati (not sure)- CSE Could you please suggest what should be order of preference.
Ans: Here's a suggested order of preference based on the colleges and branches you've mentioned, along with explanations:
1. Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology - CSE: Thapar is a well-established engineering institution, and CSE is generally considered a highly desirable branch.
If your son is inclined towards CSE, Thapar is a strong choice.
2. BIT Mesra - ECE: BIT Mesra is a prestigious engineering institute. While ECE might not be as sought-after as CSE, BIT Mesra's reputation and placement record can be attractive.
3. IIIT Kota - CSE: IIITs are known for their focus on IT and computer science.
IIIT Kota is generally considered a good option, particularly for CSE.
4. IIIT Nagpur - CSE: IIIT Nagpur is another reputable IIIT.
If you are looking for CSE, IIIT Nagpur is a strong contender.
5. IIIT Guwahati - CSE: IIIT Guwahati is a National Institute of Technology (NIT).
IIIT Guwahati is generally considered a decent option for CSE.
Important Considerations:
Branch Preference: Your personal preference for ECE vs. CSE is crucial. If you strongly prefer CSE, that should be a major factor in your decision.
College Reputation and Placement: Consider the reputation of each college and its placement record.
IIIT Focus: IIITs are known for their focus on IT and computer science, so they might be a good choice if you have a strong interest in those areas.
