Is NIOS only for Failed Students

The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS)  is a government recognized educational board in India. Thousands of students across the country appear for the boards conducted by NIOS, and then pursue higher education or work opportunities after successfully qualifying the examinations. NIOS board is known for the flexibility of exam options it offers to the failed students. The public examinations are held in two phases in a year – in April/May and October/November. However, registrations for the exams start early on, and students must keep a look out for registration dates.

 “Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston S Churchill

Students who may have been unsuccessful in their previous attempts from any other recognized education board in the country can appear for this exam. Several times, the pressure of preparation, and the external environment might cause students to either not score satisfactory marks or even fail while appearing for the boards. This, in turn, becomes a barrier to pursuing their opportunities in the future. Higher education institutes in the country require decent scores in the board exams for securing admission in courses. With high competition in the country, the cut-off scores in many prestigious institutes have also skyrocketed, and just securing pass marks is not enough to make it.

NIOS On Demand Examination

NIOS offers students a chance at attempting the board exams a second time to not just pass, but also to improve their scores from the previous attempt. This comes as a boon to students with the target at securing a seat at some of the reputed institutes of higher education in the country. 

One cannot fail, if she or he has not tried. Hard work and consistency are very important while preparing for 10^th and 12^th boar examinations. NIOS also offers an on demand exam system wherein students can re-appear for three or more subjects, in which they had failed in previous attempts. This system offers the flexibility of being held once every month, so that students can appear as per their necessity.

Examination dates, details of syllabus, fees, and other information pertaining to the NIOS board exams can be viewed on the NIOS official website. Students can register for the exams, pay the fee and select the dates as per their convenience. 

NIOS coaching institute also plays an important role during the preparation phase of students. The teachers at the coaching centers are experienced and have guided several batches of students over the years in qualifying the exams. It is important to take heed of teachers to move towards the best possible outcome in the examinations. NIOS board offers a chance to students to improve their future prospects and to move faster towards their goals.
