NIOS Improvement Exam Date 2025
Students can reappear for both theory and practical exams in subjects they wish to improve. However, TMA (Tutor-Marked Assignment) marks are not eligible for improvement. They may retain your previous TMA scores in any case. If students are aiming to improve their performance in a practical subject, they must reappear for both the practical and theory exams; simply improving one component is not sufficient.

According to the eligibility criteria for JEE Advanced, the candidates must have appeared in Class 12th and scored 75% aggregate marks. For the first time, you appeared in the CBSE Class 12 board exam in 2024, and in 2025, you appeared in the 12th examination from the NIOS board and scored 75%. Since NIOS is a recognised board, and you fulfil the aggregate marks, you are eligible to appear in JEE Advanced 2026 .
Yes, you can definitely appear for the 12th again through NIOS with PCM subjects.
This will make you eligible for JEE exams.
However, your previous PCMB degree will still hold validity. It won't be replaced or affected by the new NIOS certificate. You'll essentially have two 12th certificates.
Important Considerations:
- Time Management: Balancing NIOS studies and JEE preparation will be challenging.
- Eligibility Criteria: Ensure you meet the specific eligibility criteria for JEE, especially regarding age limits and other requirements.
- Exam Strategy: Develop a focused study plan to excel in both NIOS exams and JEE preparation.
Remember: While this is a potential path, carefully evaluate if it aligns with your long-term goals and if you're prepared for the academic and time commitment involved.
hope this helps you!!
