The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS), which was earlier called the National Open School, has been founded in the month of November in the year 1989. It works to accomplish the Indian government’s goal of providing education to all as part of the National Education Policy of 1986.

There are a large number of courses provided by the NIOS ranging from basic education till the tenth standard to courses at a pre degree level of education. The National Institute of Open Schooling has been empowered to provide admission to students to study thorough correspondence education and conduct examinations for them. Here is a detailed look at the admission and examination process currently followed by the NIOS:

Admission Procedure:

The admission procedure for all of the different educational courses provided by the National Institute of Open Schooling has been made online. As such, there is no offline admission process available from now. The NIOS, in the form of the NI-On, has classified online admission into three main streams to meet the requirements of different students.

Through the first stream, all students can get admission directly from NIOS website. The students have a hundred per cent choice in selecting the study center they wish to go to. The second and third streams are designed in such a way that they provide a safety net to the students who have failed in the examinations of the mainstream education boards of the centre or the state. Under stream two, students can save a year after failing in any of the state or central educational board’s examinations. Stream three provides a facility of “On-Demand Examination” to the students who are at the secondary level of their studies.

Examination Procedure:

The students appearing for examination under stream one will have to refer to the website for their examination dates which are announced periodically. For stream two students examinations are conducted in the month of October or November and the results are announced in December. As far as stream here students are concerned, the examinations are conducted at any of the institute’s seven regional centers. The students can pay the fees for the examination online by credit card or by posting a demand draft to these regional centers.
