Hello,

UGC now allows candidates to pursue two courses simultaneously, however the condition is one is to be done through distance mode and another through regular mode, the colleges may be the same or different, it doesn't matter however the mode of study for each course has to be through regular mode and another through distance mode, hence if you're doing graduation in distance mode, you can opt for diploma in elementary education through regular mode.

Hello Candidate ,

An in-person, proctored certification exam (optional) will be conducted at Rs. 1000/- per course and a certificate is provided through the participating institutions and industry, when applicable.

All the best

Yeah! I have applied and given exam for SWAYAM. Usually the exam centers are in different places like IT Labs, Government Engineering colleges etc where there is a support of a good number of computers.

In kolkata, I got seat in TCS Gitobitan which is in Saltlake. So the center will differ from place to place.

I hope my answer helps. All the very best for your future endeavors!

Hello Aspirant,

The calculation of the marks & rank would be difficult based on your percentile. You may calculate your expected rank by this formula


100 - your total percentile score is the percentage of people ahead of you. 874469 are the number of candidates appeared for Jan exam. So rank formula is (100 - your total score) X 869010 /100. If the number of candidates for April exam increased to 1200000 then your final rank shall be (100 - your total score) X 1200000/100

Using the formula
(100 - your total score) X 869010 /100

Your probable rank will be 7,91,668.

I would suggest you to appear for JEE Main April session again & score well to get a decent college.

Good Luck!
