Reasons to Choose National Institute of Open Schooling

1. Freedom to Learn
The main aim of NIOS is to ‘reach the unreached’. The NIOS follows the principle of freedom to learn i.e., what
to learn, when to learn, how to learn and when to appear for the examination are decided by the Learner. There
is no restriction of time, place and pace of learning.
2. Flexibility
The NIOS provides flexibility with respect to :
❖ Choice of Subjects: The learner has the option to choose subjects of his/her choice from the given list
keeping in view the passing criteria.
❖ Admission: The learner has the option to take admission Online under various streams or through
Study Centre, Facilitation Centre, Regional Centre for the Secondary and the Senior Secondary Education
Courses.
❖ Examination: The Public Examinations are held twice in an year. Nine examination chances are
offered to the learner in five years. A learner can appear in examination during this period as and when
he/she is well prepared and can avail the facility of credit accumulation.
❖ On Demand Examination: The learner has also the option to appear under the On-Demand Examination
System (ODES) of NIOS at the Secondary and the Senior Secondary levels at the NIOS Headquarters,
NOIDA, at the Regional Centres of NIOS, and at designated Kendriya Vidyalayas across India. A
learner is eligible for On Demand Examination after the first public examination.
3. Relevance
The NIOS courses and programmes are functional, useful in daily life and also set pathways for further studies.
Successful alumni of NIOS are pursuing higher studies in institutions of international and national repute like IITs,
the Delhi University, the Jamia Hamdard, the Jamia Millia Islamia, the Aligarh Muslim University, the Punjab
University, the Allahabad University and many other reputed institutions of higher learning and in professional
institutions.
4. Transfer of Credits
The NIOS acknowledges previous knowledge by allowing transfer of credits of upto two subjects passed from
International, National and State Boards of Examination / State Open Schools with whom NIOS has entered into
agreements.
5. Recognised Quality Education
The NIOS takes conscious steps to provide quality education. The Govt. of India has vested in NIOS the authority
to conduct Public Examinations and provide the Secondary and the Senior Secondary level certificates, which are
equivalent to the certificates provided by any other Board of School Education. This is because all the Boards,
whether National or State, are following the National Curriculum Framework brought out by the National Council
of Educational Research and Training (NCERT). The NIOS is one of the three National Boards; the other
two Boards are (i) the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and (ii) the Council for Indian
School Certificate Examination (CISCE).
