NIOS Board

NIOS board is constituted under the ministry of HRD, Govt. of India. It is the third largest board after CBSE & ICSE and has an equivalent weight to that of CBSE & ICSE.

With 2.2 million enrolments it becomes the world’s largest open schooling system. It’s examination pattern and schedule also makes it quite popular among students.

NIOS conducts its main exams twice every year hence becoming a boon especially for the failed students of other recognised boards who can reappear in their board exams within 3 months of their result and Also gives a possibility of carrying forward the marks of the pass subjects from the failed mark sheet of the student. The main advantage of passing secondary (10th) or senior secondary (12th) through NIOS instead of reappearing in that same board exam which you failed earlier is that it saves you a year in your education.

Also it has another examination schedule under STREAM III & IV which gives candidates a chance to reappear, under these streams exams are conducted every month except in the month of Oct-Nov & Mar-April, hence conducting exams 8 times a year excluding the two main exams.

Another thing which makes Nios more important is that all its documents have Govt. of India printed On it, which gives it more genuine. If any university/institution objects in taking admission of a NIOS passed students then it is directly challenging the Ministry of Human Resource and development, the government of India as the university is passed through a resolution (No. F.5-24/90 Sch.3 dated 14 September 1990 published in the Gazette of India on 20 October 1990).

In the present PERCENTILE scenario of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) NIOS has the most competitive percentile score among national boards and provides a great benefit to the Aspirants of IIT-JEE. NIOS Board helps such students as are preparing simultaneously in different renowned coaching institutes of India for one and two years programme of various competitive exams like IIT, JEE, AIEEE, PMT (NEET), CA, CS, ICWA, CLAT and also other professional and academic courses.
