Hello, Yes, in most cases, a PCB student who passed the 12th grade two years ago can reappear for the class 12th exam to add Mathematics as an additional subject.

However, the process and eligibility depend entirely on the rules of the specific educational board (like CBSE, CISCE, or a state board). You won't be "retaking" the entire 12th grade in the traditional sense of attending a full year of school. Instead, you will likely be applying as a private candidate for an improvement or additional subject exam.

I hope you found this information helpful.

Yes, it is possible for a student who has done their 12th grade already to take upto 4 exams of their requirement. This is possible through the NIOS, NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF OPEN SCHOOLING. Get more info about the exam and the board through the following link.

Hello,

Yes, a former PCB student can retake their 12th-grade exam to add math by appearing through an open board like NIOS or by re-entering as a private candidate. Appearing for an additional subject exam through NIOS is a common method to add math to your 12th-grade marks without repeating all subjects and can make you eligible for courses requiring a PCM combination, such as engineering.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Yes, a PCB student who passed Class 12 two years ago can retake Class 12 with Mathematics. You can either re-enroll in a recognized board (like CBSE, NIOS, or your state board) as a private or open school candidate. Many students do this to become eligible for courses that require PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Math).
