Yes, candidates who have passed their 10+2 or equivalent examination from NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) are eligible for WBJEE as long as they meet the following additional criteria:

1. Core Subjects: Must have passed in the required core subjects (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics for engineering aspirants).

2. Minimum Marks: Fulfill the minimum percentage criteria set by WBJEE for their respective category (General, SC/ST, etc.).

3. Recognized Board: NIOS is a recognized board under the Ministry of Education, so WBJEE accepts candidates from NIOS.

4. Regular Mode: Although WBJEE generally prefers candidates from regular modes, NIOS graduates are also allowed to appear.

Clarification: Passing through distance learning (NIOS) does not automatically disqualify you, provided you meet other eligibility conditions, including age limit, domicile requirements, and subject criteria.
