About SSLC / Plus Two
NIOS is “Open School” to cater to the needs of a heterogeneous group of learners up to pre-degree level. It was started as a project with in-built flexibilities by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in 1979. In 1986, the National Policy on Education suggested strengthening of Open School System for extending open learning facilities in a phased manner at secondary level all over the country as an independent system with its own curriculum and examination leading to certification.
Consequently, the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India set up the National Open School (NOS) in November 1989. The pilot project of CBSE on Open School was amalgamated with NOS. Through a Resolution (No. F.5-24/90 Sch.3 dated 14 September 1990 published in the Gazette of India on 20 October 1990), the National Open School (NOS) was vested with the authority to register, examine and certify students registered with it up to pre-degree level courses. In July 2002, the Ministry of Human Resource Development amended the nomenclature of the organisation from the National Open School (NOS) to the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) with a mission to provide relevant continuing education at school stage, up to pre-degree level through Open Learning system to prioritized client groups as an alternative to formal system, in pursuance of the normative national policy documents and in response to the need assessments of the people.
Universalisation of Education
Greater Equity and Justice in Society
Evolution of a Learning Society
At the Secondary and Senior Secondary levels, NIOS provides flexibility in the choice of subjects/courses, pace of learning, and transfer of credits from CBSE, some Board of School Education and State Open Schools to enable learner’s continuation. A learner is extended as many as nine chances to appear in public examinations spread over a period of five years.
The learning strategies include:Additional Facility
Flexibility built into the NIOS system so a setback in one exam session doesn’t cost a student more time than necessary.
Transfer of Credit (TOC)
Students who have failed either the SSLC or Plus Two standard need not appear for all subjects again. NIOS board offers Transfer of Credit (TOC) for a maximum of two subjects passed in a previous board exam. The marks in those passed subjects are carried over to the NIOS certificate, so the student only needs to appear for the failed subjects.
Change of Subject / Additional Subject
During the five-year admission period, a learner can change one or more subjects, provided the total number of subjects does not exceed seven. Such a change is permissible within four years of registration, so the student can still appear in Public Examinations within the validity period. No change or addition is allowed for the first examination, and subjects already passed cannot be changed.

After course registration, expert educationalists design study materials for the five subjects you selected, which reach you through courier or can be collected directly from the respective centers. Our expert faculties offer coaching at our centers, and every Plus Two NIOS board student in all batches is provided with 24 contact classes on respective Sundays — the date of each contact class is informed in advance. TIMS provides sample papers designed by expert qualified teachers, and finally completes the course with practice of previous year question papers and test series for all subjects, helping students understand the usual questions asked in each subject. Those doing SSLC and Plus Two correspondence are also assisted by TIMS in preparing required assignments, records, and practical works.
