Greetings,

If you have completed your Class 12th from BOSSE (Board of Open Schooling and Skill Education), Sikkim, your State of Eligibility for national-level examinations such as JEE Main or NEET will be considered as Sikkim. This is determined by the location of your qualifying examination (i.e., where you pursued and completed your Class 12th), not your permanent residence or home state (such as Uttar Pradesh).

For admission through state quota seats—such as those in government colleges within Uttar Pradesh—you will still need to meet the domicile requirements of that particular state. In other words, for centralized exams your eligibility will be tied to Sikkim, but for state-specific counselling and quotas, you must provide valid domicile documentation for the respective state.

Should you require further clarification or assistance regarding documentation or eligibility criteria, please feel free to ask.

Best regards,

Hello there,

Yes, as a student from the Board of Open Schooling and Skill Education (BOSSE), Sikkim , you are eligible for Home State quota at NIT Sikkim for B.Tech admissions. The Government of Sikkim recognizes BOSSE as a valid board for secondary and senior secondary education, and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has approved NIT Sikkim as an institution of national importance. Therefore, your BOSSE qualification is valid for admission to NIT Sikkim.

However, please note that BOSSE is not listed among the recognized boards by the Council of Boards of School Education in India (COBSE) , which is a common requirement for many institutions. This could potentially affect your eligibility for Home State quota under certain circumstances.

Recommendations:

• Verify with NIT Sikkim: Contact the admissions office of NIT Sikkim directly to confirm your eligibility for Home State quota with a BOSSE qualification.
  
  

• Obtain a Domicile Certificate: Ensure you have a valid Sikkim Domicile Certificate , as it is typically required for claiming Home State quota.
  
  

• Prepare for JEE Main: Ensure you meet the required JEE Main cutoff for NIT Sikkim. For example, in 2024, the closing rank for Civil Engineering under the Home State quota was 263,489 for male candidates.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Hello there,

No, NIT Sikkim does not offer lateral entry admission to B.Tech programs. Admission is strictly through JEE Main followed by JoSAA/CSAB counseling . If you are a diploma holder, you can apply for regular B.Tech through JEE Main but not directly into the second year.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Siddhartha Gautama, born a prince in Lumbini, renounced his luxurious life after witnessing suffering in the forms of old age, sickness, and death. Seeking a solution to human suffering, he left his palace and pursued a path of asceticism and meditation. After years of intense practice, he realized that neither extreme luxury nor severe austerity led to enlightenment. Meditating under the Bodhi Tree in Bodh Gaya, he attained enlightenment and became the Buddha, "The Enlightened One." He discovered the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, teachings that form the foundation of Buddhism, offering a path to liberation from suffering.

Hi there!

Well it is difficult to predict anything about admission on the basis of score only, as admission to any institutes depends on various factors like:

1- Difficult level of entrance examination

2- No. of students appeared in exam

3- No. of students seeking to admission

4- Closing rank which is decided by authority

5- Category of an Individual

Hence, due to lack of these data, it is impossible to tell you about admission in those institutes.

However we can get a rough idea of admission eligibility by analyzing previous years trend.

First and foremost, with 86.6 percentile in JEE Mains your general rank would be anywhere in between 137082 - 154100 as per our JEE Mains rank predictor, and your EWS category would be somewhere in between 17000 to 18000.

As per last years trend, the maximum closing rank in various NITs for EWS category is around 8000 to 9000.

You can also check previous years closing rank of various NITs, click here https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/nits-cutoff-for-top-btech-branches

Considering this data, you have low chances for getting in to the NITs you mentioned, however it may or may not be true as these data keeps changing year to year.
