NIOS Exam Hall: What to Do & What NOT to Do (Avoid These Mistakes!)

Appearing for NIOS exams? Great! But remember — what you do inside the Nios exam hall can make or break your performance. Many students prepare well but still lose marks due to silly mistakes or rule violations.

To help you avoid that, here’s a complete guide on what to DO and what NOT to DO in the NIOS exam hall.

What to DO in the NIOS Exam Hall

1. Reach Early

Always arrive at least 30–45 minutes before the exam. It gives you time to relax, find your seat, and avoid panic.

2. Carry These Essentials

• NIOS Admit Card (Hall Ticket)

• Valid ID Proof (Aadhar card, school ID, etc.)

• Black/Blue pens, pencils, eraser, geometry tools (as required)

• A transparent water bottle

3. Read the Question Paper First

Take the first 10 minutes to read all questions carefully. It helps plan your answers and manage time better.

4. Write Neatly & Clearly

Use proper headings, margins, and spacing. Neat presentation fetches better marks, especially in theory papers.

5. Use the Extra Time Wisely

If you finish early, revise your answers. Check for spelling mistakes or skipped questions.

What NOT to DO in the Exam Hall

1. Don’t Carry Prohibited Items

Avoid mobile phones, smartwatches, notes, calculators (unless allowed) or any electronic gadgets. They can lead to disqualification.

2. Don’t Talk to Other Students

Even asking for a pen or ruler may be misunderstood as cheating. If needed, ask the invigilator only.

3. Don’t Leave Any Question Unattempted

Even if you’re unsure, write something relevant — you might get partial marks.

4. Don’t Overwrite or Use Correction Fluid

Strike out errors with a single line. Using whiteners is often not allowed.

5. Don’t Forget to Write Your Details

Write your roll number, subject code, and other required info clearly on the answer sheet.

Final Tip

Stay calm and confident. NIOS exams are designed to test your understanding, not confuse you. A positive mindset helps you think clearly.
