Hi

hope you doing well

Yes, you can appear for the NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) October 2024 examination to meet the 75% eligibility criteria for JEE Mains/Advanced. Here’s how it works and what you need to do:

• Eligibility as a Fresh Candidate:
  Yes, even if you are a 2023 pass-out, you can register with NIOS as a fresh candidate. NIOS allows students to improve their board performance or obtain fresh marks for eligibility purposes.

• Subjects and Choice of Streams:
  You need to select five subjects (including Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) to meet the JEE criteria. Make sure you opt for subjects relevant to the eligibility requirements.

  Recommended

• JEE Mains and Advanced accept NIOS scores. Make sure to pass with 75% aggregate or higher across the required subjects to qualify for IIT/NIT admission.

If the October 2024 exam timeline doesn’t fit, you may still give the April 2025 NIOS exams to secure eligibility.

Ensure that you get the required 75% marks, as failing to meet this could prevent you from gaining admission to IITs, NITs, or IIITs even with good JEE scores.

Best wishes.
