Hi Ayush
You can prepare for both exams at the same time. Both exams have the same syllabus. I would suggest that you study from our official website, career360.

Hi Anu
The portal account details in the JEE form refer to the "Create Your Secure Login Account" section. This account is used to download the admit card or check the result. This is the first step when you fill out the form.
I hope this information helps you.
Best wishes.
These are some most scoring chapters in MATHs :
Coordinate Geometry , Limits, Continuity, and Differentiability , and Integral Calculus
Hello,
No, don’t worry, it won’t create any major problem in your JEE form.
Since you’ve already mentioned CBSE correctly in the section where it asks for your board name, the “qualification type” option (like Any Public School/Board) is just a general category for schools affiliated with national boards.
As long as your roll number, passing year, and board name (CBSE) are correct, your form is valid. You’ll just need to carry your original 12th marksheet during document verification, that will confirm your board.
No issue, your form will be accepted.
Hope you understand.
Hello Geeta,
No, you cannot directly take admission in Class 12 without passing Class 11. Every recognized board, whether CBSE, HBSE, or any private school board, requires students to complete Class 11 first. Skipping Class 11 is not allowed.
Since you are doing Class 10 from NIOS, you have two options:
Continue in NIOS and take admission in Class 12 (after getting your 10th marksheet).
Take admission in Class 11 in any regular school or open school near Jhajjar, and then move to Class 12 after that.
If you skip Class 11, your 12th certificate will not be valid, and you may face problems during JEE registration and admission to IITs, as JEE requires valid 10th and 12th marksheets from recognized boards.
So, it’s better to complete 11th first (regular or open), then do 12th. That way, you will face no problem in JEE or IIT admission.
Hope it helps !
