Hello,

BOSSE (Board of Open Schooling and Skill Education), Sikkim is not recognised by most defence recruitment boards like NDA (National Defence Academy). For NDA, the qualification must be from a recognised board like CBSE, ICSE, or any state board recognised by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) and Ministry of Education .

As of now, there is no confirmed proof that someone from BOSSE board has cleared SSB and completed all document verification. Even if someone attended SSB, they might face issues at the final document stage if the board is not recognised.

So, it is better to choose a board that is surely accepted by UPSC and defence forces to avoid problems later.

Hope it helps !
