When will the NIOS 12th Date Sheet 2026 be released?

Dual marksheets may be issued by NIOS to their students leading to confusion when applying for the CUET and subsequently gaining university admission. From an application point of view, CUET accepts valid NIOS marksheets as long as the required information is displayed on one marksheet with all the subjects and grades laid out clearly.

From a university standpoint, universities want to verify the authenticity and consistency of all student records. Therefore, when submitting applications, presenting both dual marksheets together provides a clear way to eliminate any confusion regarding this issue.

With respect to the document verification process, Admissions Advisors want to know that the marksheet submitted is valid and meets eligibility requirements. The submission of the marksheet format is not a factor for consideration. If a student has any discrepancies in their marksheets, it is their responsibility to explain these to the Admissions Advisors during the document verification stage.

Above all else, being transparent with marksheets that reflect qualifications is crucial for alleviating any concerns regarding validity.
