I'm an NIOS passed student with 90% & a good SAT, TOEFL score. I want to join Harvard University after my 12th. Will Harvard accept me?

I am unable to attend regular classes due to ill health. So, I passed from NIOS to save my year. Will I face any problems during USA admissions due to this?

Hi Gajanan, NIOS won't be a problem for you to pursue higher studies abroad. But there are certain requirements like taking a certain number of subjects for the 11th and 12th. Also you may inquire @ the university regarding the course structure of your preference, fees, etc. All the best.

Hi Gajanan, NIOS is widely accepted. But you should drop an email to Harvard's admission office and enquire. I don't think they will ever stop you from applying but may ask for additional evaluation or assessment.
