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.

Yes, if you have passed Class 12 from the BOSSE board in Sikkim and have a valid domicile/residential certificate from the Government of Sikkim, you are eligible for the Home State Quota at NIT Sikkim.

BOSSE is a recognized board established in Sikkim, so your 12th qualification is valid.

Make sure to apply through JoSAA counselling with your JEE Main score and submit all required documents.
