Help regarding eligibility

Hey everyone 👋

I’m a 16 year old student from India currently planning to complete my Class 12 through NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) with PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Maths).

I want to apply for Bachelor of Computer Science at UWA after finishing school.

I’ve checked the website it says UWA accepts Year 12 or equivalent qualifications with at least 75 ATAR. But I’m a bit unsure if NIOS (India’s open schooling system) is officially recognized the same way as CBSE or ISC for admission.

I’d really appreciate it if anyone here especially Indian students or UWA admissions staff who see this could confirm whether:

1. NIOS Class 12 is accepted for direct entry; and

2. If not, what’s the best alternative (foundation or pathway program)?

Also, my uncle is an Australian citizen living in Perth and will be sponsoring and guiding me through the admission process, if that matters for eligibility.

Any help, experience, or advice would mean a lot 🙏

Thanks! Daksh
