CBSE Class 12th Exam Date:17 Feb' 26 - 17 Feb' 26
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released sample papers in the form of the Sample Question Paper (SQP), along with the marking scheme (MS) on the official website. The board does not officially issue separate half-yearly sample papers, but many of the questions in the final CBSE sample papers cover topics that appear in the half-yearly exam. Schools also often provide their own sample papers specifically for CBSE half-yearly exams. Also, students can refer to the chapter-wise sample papers books for preparation for the half-yearly exam. As of now, CBSE half-yearly exams have begun in some schools, and others will conduct them soon. Also, the CBSE 12th half-yearly syllabus differs from school to school.
Students can check the questions of the CBSE Class 12 half-yearly sample papers from these sample papers. Apart from this, schools will also provide them, and as soon as we receive more CBSE 12th half-yearly sample papers, we will upload them.

Hello,
Sorry, but JoSAA does not accept marks from two different boards for the same qualification during counselling. However, you can use your NIOS marks to meet the JEE Main/Advanced eligibility criteria if they are better than your CBSE marks. You can use your NIOS marks for the eligibility check, but when presenting your documents, you may be required to present both marksheets and the one with the higher marks for each subject will be considered.
I hope it will clear your query!!
