Thanks for explaining clearly — and I totally understand your fear, but let’s break this down calmly so you know exactly where you stand.

You're Studying in Class 12 under BOSSE Board (Board of Open Schooling and Skill Education)

• Result expected: June 2025

• BOSSE is approved by AIU (Association of Indian Universities), which is a positive sign .

Now let’s look at eligibility for both:

1. COMEDK (Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka)

Eligibility Criteria:

• Must have passed 10+2 or equivalent exam from a recognized board .

  Recommended

• Recognized = State board / CBSE / ICSE / NIOS / any AIU-recognized board .

• Must have Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry/Biology/Computer Science/Electronics as subjects.

• Must score at least 45% marks (40% for SC/ST/OBC in Karnataka) .

Conclusion for COMEDK: YES – You are eligible , because BOSSE is recognized by AIU, which COMEDK accepts.

2. KCET (Karnataka Common Entrance Test)

This is more state-specific and slightly stricter.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Must have passed 2nd PUC (Pre-University) or equivalent from a recognized Board under the Department of Pre-University Education of Karnataka .

• Open schooling boards like **NIOS or other open boards are usually not accepted unless explicitly listed.

• Even if AIU approves a board, KCET may not accept open school boards like BOSSE unless Karnataka's PUE department recognizes it .

Conclusion for KCET: As of now, you are likely not eligible for KCET with BOSSE, unless the Karnataka PUE Department has specifically included BOSSE in its accepted list. They usually don’t accept NIOS or other open boards either.

What You Should Do Immediately

• Write to KEA (Karnataka Examinations Authority) to ask whether BOSSE is accepted for KCET.

I can help you draft this email if you want.

• Apply for COMEDK when registration opens — you’re eligible .

• Consider other options like CUET, private university entrance exams, or state-level exams where AIU recognition is accepted.

Don't Panic — You're Not Alone

Many students from open boards like BOSSE, NIOS, etc. go through this confusion every year. The key is to focus on the entrance exams where your board is accepted , and to verify officially with those that aren’t clear.
