Hello,

Yes, you can be eligible , but it depends on how you passed Mathematics.

JEE Main
You are eligible if:

  • You passed Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics.

  • Mathematics was passed as a full subject from NIOS.

  • NIOS is a recognized board.

  • Having two marksheets is allowed.

You are not eligible if:

  • Mathematics was taken only as an improvement or additional without passing it as a full subject.

MHT-CET
You are eligible if:

  • You passed Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics.

  • Mathematics from NIOS is shown as a passed subject.

  • NIOS is recognized for Maharashtra admissions.

  • Mathematics was passed before the admission year.

You are not eligible if:

  • Mathematics is not shown as a passed subject.

Important

  • Mathematics must be a separate and passed subject.

  • Keep both marksheets during counselling.

Always check the current year information brochure before applying.

Hope it helps !

Hello,
If you passed Class 12 with PCB from a recognized board and later passed Mathematics separately through NIOS, both exams generally accept this combination. NTA (for JEE Main) and the Maharashtra CET authority allow Mathematics taken from NIOS as an additional subject, as long as Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics are all passed at the 10+2 level from recognized boards.
However, your Mathematics marks from NIOS must be declared as passed before the exam or counselling, and you should have valid mark sheets for both PCB and Mathematics. During counselling, you may be asked to submit both mark sheets together as proof of eligibility.
So, with PCB from your original board and Mathematics from NIOS, you can apply for JEE Main and MHT-CET, subject to meeting other general eligibility rules like year of passing and age criteria.
I hope this helps you.
