FAQ
What is NIOS and how is it different from regular boards?
NIOS stands for National Institute of Open Schooling, an education board under the Ministry of Education, Government of India. It offers flexible, open learning for students who can’t attend regular school due to personal, academic, or professional reasons.
Unlike regular boards like CBSE or State Boards, NIOS allows you to:
Study from home at your own pace
Choose exam dates (On-Demand Exams available)
Appear in only selected subjects or use credit transfer
Learn without daily school attendance
Despite these differences, NIOS certificates are fully recognized for college admissions, jobs, and competitive exams — just like any other board.
Is open schooling valid for college admission or government jobs?
Yes, open schooling is 100% valid for both college admissions and government jobs — as long as you pass through a recognized board like NIOS or a registered State Open School.
Open school certificates are accepted by:
Indian universities and colleges (for UG & PG admissions)
Government recruitment exams (like UPSC, SSC, Police, etc.)
Private companies and abroad universities, depending on the board
NIOS, for example, is a national board under the Ministry of Education, and its certificate holds the same value as CBSE or State Boards.
So if you’re completing 10th or 12th through open schooling, you’re eligible for the same opportunities as regular school students.
Can I appear for exams if I failed in Class 10 or 12 before?
Yes, absolutely. If you’ve failed in Class 10 or 12, you can still appear for exams through NIOS or State Open Schooling Boards.
In fact, open schooling is designed to give students like you a second chance without repeating the entire year in a traditional school. You can:
Reappear in only the subjects you failed (using Transfer of Credit – TOC in NIOS)
Choose flexible exam dates
Study from home without pressure
Earn a valid 10th or 12th pass certificate, just like regular students
