Sir, i had passed my 12th in 2023 with pcb in my state board & now in 2026 i will add maths from isolated exam(private candidate exam) of my state board which will provide me a seperate marksheet of only maths..so i will have two marksheets one of pcb & 1 of only maths..of same board but different years..will this be accepted in UGEE exam?

Ans: UGEE eligibility allows candidates to clear Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in separate attempts under the same recognized board as long as all subjects are passed by the specified deadline for results. Holding a PCB marksheet from 2023 and a standalone Mathematics marksheet from the isolated state board exam in 2026 is acceptable, provided both are issued by the same board and bear your name, roll number, and board seal. Institutions will verify that your combined subject passes meet the minimum percentage and completion timelines set in the UGEE Information Bulletin. Ensure you apply in the year you complete all three subjects, submit both marksheets during document verification, and confirm with the exam authority that mixed-year marksheets comply with their admission rules.

Recommendation: Proceed with your plan and register for UGEE once you have both marksheets, confirming with the official UGEE eligibility notification and liaising with the exam helpdesk for seamless acceptance of separate-year results. However, have 3-4 other back-ups too instead of relying only on UGEE / IIIT-H. Please note, UGEE eligibility and admission processes do change yearly with nuanced updates in eligibility windows, exam structure, and admission channels, adapting to academic and institutional priorities. You should consult the official IIIT Hyderabad UGEE website annually for precise, up-to-date criteria and follow official announcements closely to ensure compliance and timely application. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
