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

Here’s a plan for JEE Mains 2026 in 4 months:

1. Divide time: 2 months for Class 12 syllabus, 1 month for Class 11, 1 month for full revision & mock tests.

2. Daily schedule: 6–7 hours study; 50% for theory & problem-solving, 50% for practice & revision.

3. Topic-wise focus: Prioritize high-weightage chapters and weak areas first.

4. Daily problem practice: Solve previous year questions and chapter-wise exercises.

5. Weekly tests: Take 1 full-length test weekly, analyze mistakes, and revise weak concepts.

6. Consistency: Avoid skipping days; maintain notes and formula sheets for quick revision.


If you want to crack JEE exam you read to dedicatedly prepared for that from the scratch to the advance focus on high weightage topic and prepare question in the time based and continuously practice the previous question this will help to know the pattern of JEE exam questions
