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:

1. Continue in NIOS and take admission in Class 12 (after getting your 10th marksheet).

2. 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 !

Hello,

You can’t skip Class 11 in a regular school; it’s a mandatory step in the CBSE/HBSE system. However, since you’re doing 10th from NIOS, you can directly take NIOS 12th after completing 10th, without attending 11th. This is completely valid and accepted by JEE Main and IITs, as long as your 12th certificate is from a recognized board.

If you want to shift to a regular school, you’ll still need to take admission in Class 11, because schools aren’t allowed to admit students directly into 12th.

So, best option is to continue with NIOS 12th after your 10th, it won’t affect your JEE eligibility or IIT admission, even if there’s a 1-year gap. Just ensure you study Physics, Chemistry, and Math's as your main subjects.

Hope you understand.
