What if I fail in NIOS On-Demand Exam?

Failure is the stepping stone to success. If one has failed, one has at least tried.

The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) is a government recognized education board in India. NIOS conducts qualifying examinations for students in standards 10^th and 12^th every year in centers across the country. In addition to the regular board examination schedule NIOS offers several other slots and options that students can select based on their requirements.

The NIOS On demand examination is a special system in which students who have not qualified the board examination in previous attempts or want to improve their marks can appear for the examination again. This is for the aid of students who may have failed in one or more subjects, or if they have acquired low marks and wish to better their scores.

Students who have attempted for and failed in NIOS on demand exams can appear again, for the subjects they have not scored pass marks for. The minimum number of subjects to opt for re-appearing for the examination is three and total number of selected subjects can go up to 5 or more.

The details for the registration and NIOS admission process for NIOS on-demand examination can be found on the official website of the board. The greatest advantage of this exam system is the flexibility it offers. The NIOS on demand examination is held every month except April May, October and November in board recognized centers across the country. Students can register and select dates as per their necessity and apply accordingly.

To register for the exams, a student needs to submit marksheet of previous attempt at the board examination from any nationally recognized board in the country, admit card, passport photographs, AADHAR card and address proof. Once registered, students can select the slot for the examination.

Students can make their choice of dates keeping in mind the time they would require for adequate preparation. Details of the syllabus for the exam is available on the website of the board. NIOS tuitions and coaching classes are of great help to students during the preparation phase.

Coaching centers offer students a chance to be mentored by NIOS experts who have helped several batches of students through the exams. From guidance on reference books and question banks to the kind of effort required based on the aptitude of the student, teachers at NIOS coaching center can help both fresh and repeat candidates pass the examinations with flying colors.

It may not always be possible for students to pass their board examination at the first attempt. However, it is important to never give up. With the golden opportunity of on demand exams offered by the NIOS board, and with the right mindset and hard work, the exams become a piece of cake!
