Hello Aspirant,

If you already have a Class 12 from NIOS in April 2025 with 67%, you are technically considered a “pass”. But, now since you are reappearing for Class 12 through BOSSE (Sikkim) in October 2025, in order to increase your percentage to 75% (for eligibility) here is how it works:

In the JEE Main Application Form:

• Choose "Appearing" for Class 12 (you will be giving the BOSSE oct 2025 exam).
• Enter the passing year as 2025.

For JoSAA Counselling:

• You must submit the latest valid marksheet, that states you have obtained more than 75%.
• If your result from BOSSE (oct 2025) comes before counselling/document verification, then to submit BOSSE marksheet.
• If you only submit NIOS marksheet (67%), you will not then meet the criteria for 75%, so you may be excluded from admission
