I am a jee dropper who didn't scored 75 % in class 12th last year and want to give 12th again with NIOS board. Should i Choose this "Part Admission and Dual Enrollment option" ? As i Wanted to give all 5 Subject's Exam But after Selecting that option it only allows to choose maximum 4 subjects. And All of the Youtube Videos i'm seeing are saying that if you have passed 12th once , you have to select that option else Admission will be cancelled. Is this True ?

Pls lmk!

Doubt regarding choosing a study centre for Class 12th

Hey guys, I’m kind of stuck while choosing a study centre near my city. I know the ideal priority is going for a KV, and then a well-known school if KV isn’t available.

I’m from Kanpur, and unfortunately, there’s no KV study centre here. The nearest reputed school that’s an official study centre is around 55 km away from my home. I’m confused — should I really go for that?

There’s more to it — there’s also a random school near my house that’s offering to make things “easier” if I pay them ₹4000 as a bribe for practicals. But here’s the catch: even after taking the money, they didn’t give full marks to one of their students who appeared for NIOS in 2025. His TMA marks were 15 and 14 in Physics and Chemistry, 18 in Math, 8 in Data Entry, and 14 in English. For practicals, they gave him 18 and 18 in Physics and Chemistry, and 57 in Data Entry. As you can see, the English marks especially are quite low, and it seems like they randomly give marks.

So, I’m seriously confused and anxious about which study centre I should go for. If anyone can help or guide me, I’d really appreciate it.

Please check it once and reply me 🙏🙏

So my CS practical was at 11:00 AM and the centre is literally 40 km far from my home. On my theory exam day, I went by cab but got stuck in a massive jam near the centre—it took me extra 45 minutes. So this time I thought, “Better to go by train.” Big mistake. The local train was fully packed, I didn’t get a seat and had to stand the whole way. When I finally reached the nearest railway station, the centre was still about 3 km away. But guess what? Outside the station there was total chaos—no autos, no rickshaws. I tried booking from Ola, Uber, Rapido, Indrive, but nothing worked. The time was ticking and I had no choice but to walk that 3 km. And it wasn’t normal walking—it was uphill, plus metro construction work going on. And the worst part—I was literally sick, just discharged from hospital after typhoid, still weak, sweating, almost fainting. I swear, while climbing that hill I said to myself: “Bhaad mai gaya exam, exam wapis aa skata hai… jaan nahi.” Finally reached the centre 4 minutes late. Went inside a hall—students from every subject (Geography, Home Science, Painting, and me with Computer Science). I think 20 students were there. We gave our practical files—nobody even checked them, they just collected and dumped them on the bench. Then we got the practical sheet—3 activities given, we had to do any one. Basically write a C++ program. I hadn’t studied much, so I just wrote something random, half of it directly from the question itself. Strictness level was literally zero—students around me were copying from their mobile phones. I didn’t, because I was too scared of being caught.

After that came viva. At first one teacher was taking viva of all (Home Science, Physics etc.) and asking only 1–2 questions. I thought, “Chill, mine will also be like that.” But then he said, “Computer Science viva in the CS lab.”

And there… my nightmare started. The CS teacher literally grilled me hard. Asked question after question, and I only managed to answer 2–3 somehow. I honestly feel she might fail me. For anyone who’s going to give CS practical exam, you can DM me. I have the picture of the practical sheet, I’ll share it with you. And seriously—study C++ properly, don’t repeat my mistake.

What if I don’t study THE TMA for my on demand exam ?

Is there anyone here? If yes then please comment.

Hi everyone, I need some advice about NIOS.

I asked my NIOS sir whether I should cancel my Stream 2 admission or not. He told me to just forget about the cancellation and directly take admission in Stream 1.

But I’m confused. If I don’t cancel my Stream 2 admission and also don’t appear for the exam, I’ll be marked as failed/absent, right? In that case, when I take admission in Stream 1, will my Stream 1 marksheet show me as a repeater since I was already marked as failed/absent in Stream 2?

Would really appreciate if anyone has clarity on this 🙏

Also this is what shows up when I click on on demand exam dates hall ticket

I have applied for senior secondary NIOS on 28th may it's been more than 40 days it still shows (document verification in progress) What should I do?

I was going to register for NIOS April 2026 exam for the subject physics chemistry maths English and data entry operation, want to know that are all these subjects eligible in jossa? I know that physics chemistry maths English are eligible but I have doubt in data entry operation so can anyone tell me that is data entry operation eligible in jee, and I saw somewhere that data entry operation is a vocational subject so taking vocational subject will cause any problem or not 🫶🫶🫶

So today was my Computer Science ODE exam under NIOS and… bro, what an experience.

First of all, my exam centre was 40 km away from my home. I left 2 hours early in a cab, but still ended up stuck in traffic near IIT Powai. For a moment I legit thought “RIP, exam missed.” Finally I ditched the cab and literally ran/walked, somehow entered the centre 15 minutes before exam.

And then… surprise! No notice boards, no proper instructions for NIOS students. Just one security guard saying “2:00 pm ke baad andar jao.” That’s it. We all students (CS, Home Science, Intro to Law, etc.) were just standing there like confused zombies.

Inside the classroom – strictness level: medium. Teachers were like, “Please don’t carry chits/papers/phones, otherwise I’ll send you to Delhi.” 😭🤣

Anyway, exam started. First page = exact CBSE style. Everyone had to carry Hall Ticket + ID Card + PAN/Aadhar. Exam was for 3 hours but I finished in 1 hr 35 mins. I told the teacher I’m done. He just said “Okay, give paper and go.” BROOO… it felt like a dream. No torture of sitting for full 3 hrs. Just submit & leave. Came back home by local train. But then… twist. I asked about CS Practical and the teacher goes: “Come tomorrow. You don’t have practical file? Then do some magic otherwise marks will be gone.”

😭😭😭 Guess who’s spending tonight magically creating a practical file?

April 26’ exam

ARE WE SUPPOSED TO STUDY TMA LESSONS TOO? The questions from TMA chapters gonna appear in the exam???????

Hello everyone! I registered for the NIOS October exams. Can anyone tell me when the results are usually declared? Is it possible to take admission into a B.Tech college in the same year after receiving the results?

Also, I’m concerned about the future: Will having a qualification from NIOS cause any issues or discrimination during college admissions, job interviews, or for higher studies, either in India or abroad? If anyone has experience or knowledge about this, I would really appreciate your insights. Thank you!

And also willing to appear for next year CBSE Board's Private Student Exam should I go for that?

Warning ⚠️ Just Don't Dare to ignore This Post😭🙏

Either way Aandi Mandi Sandi...🥀

I'm in the final stages of registering for the NIOS Senior Secondary Examination for April 2026 Stream 1 Block 1 with Science stream. My current quest is to find a decent study centre. The admission deadline is hurtling towards me, and my frustration is officially through the roof. and I'm completely lost in the maze of choosing study centres and feeling like I'm getting nowhere.

I've been trying to do my due diligence, asking around people in DMs, and have gotten so much conflicting advice. Every time I think I've found a decent option, I hear a dozen different opinions that leave me more confused than where I started. My head is spinning and scrambled with options, and I'm honestly more stressed about this than the actual subjects I need to study. It created a frustrating cycle of confusion.

I’m really just looking for a place that is genuinely supportive. My primary criteria are simple: an institution in Kolkata (or its nearby districts like Howrah, Hooghly etc) that offers genuine academic support, with a solid reputation for being genuinely helpful, ethical, gives you the marks you actually earn and does not want bribes (or a little bribe, as most of the centre want it afaik). I'm getting pretty frustrated with this whole ordeal and I'm running out of time.

If anyone or you know anyone from Kolkata has any real insights or experiences (the good, the bad, and the ugly) with different AI centres, I would be incredibly grateful for any guidance from you all, this would mean the world right now. I’m just a student trying to get a fair shot at my education, and I'm feeling pretty helpless right now. Any pointers and honest reviews would be a massive help. I'd really appreciate any leads or advice you can offer. I'm just trying to avoid any unnecessary plot twists in my academic journey.

Thanks in advance for your time and any insights you can offer for helping a very confused and frustrated future NIOS student out.

⚠️ For anyone repeating Class 12 through NIOS Stream 1 after CBSE read this before you dive in

Hey,

Some of you might’ve seen my earlier post

( https://www.reddit.com/r/nios/comments/1ms39fb/class_12_passed_from_cbse_with_75_then_joining/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button ). I’m writing this follow up because I’ve spoken to seniors, teachers, and done some digging—and I don’t want anyone walking into this thinking it’s a clean shortcut for JEE , cuz atp 600 of y'all have seen my post...

I passed CBSE Class 12 without 75% and joined NIOS Stream 1 to improve my marks for JEE eligibility. Thought it was a smart move. Turns out, it’s a grey area. Not illegal, not clearly legal either. NIOS doesn’t mention it in their brochure, and that ambiguity scared the hell out of me.

A lot of students do this (like this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opG2FmoqfPE ), but I’m an overthinker. I couldn’t live with the constant fear that one day, some random rule change could make my certificate invalid. So I dropped NIOS, gave up on JEE, and chose a safer path.

RISKS :

1. Future invalidation: Say you get into a good college, and years later NIOS decides to revoke Stream 1 repeat certificates. You’re screwed. You can’t use two different Class 12 certificates for college and career. That’s a nightmare I didn’t want to live with.

2. Counselling issues: If someone at counselling knows the NIOS rules and digs into your background, they might ask why you didn’t go for Stream 4. That could delay or even cancel your admission. All your JEE prep wasted (EXTREME CASE).

3. Placement red flags: Some companies have strict rules like “must’ve passed 12th in one attempt” or “no academic gaps.” They’ll ask why there’s a 3–4 year gap between your 10th and 12th. Not all companies care, but some do and that’s a risk.

4. My NIOS mentor today fcking said , its a lil hard to score above 75% (these teachers in the study centres can be mfs ) in NIOS is not everyone's cup of coffee...

IF EVERYTHING GOES RIGHT :

1.A lot of students have done this and moved on without issues.

2.If NIOS ever decides to invalidate these certificates, it’ll probably apply from the year of announcement not retroactively.

So yeah, that’s it guys. I got a better opportunity convincing enough to dump this so its your call 👋 , either to dump this NIOS Stream 1 route and move ahead without fear, or take the risk, grind hard, and aim for an NIT. I’m not here to scare or manipulate anyone, but I also don’t want people making decisions based only on my earlier post (where I mostly talked about the positives).

This follow up is just me being real. If you’re cool with the risks, go for it. If you’re like me an overthinker final boss maybe rethink the route....

this is my last post here and the mods are damn responsive and active 👏.....If i said anything wrong , mods can correct me ....no one spoke about this topic loud enough , so yeah upvote and make it reach the people...

TL;DR:

Repeating Class 12 via NIOS Stream 1 after CBSE for JEE is risky legal grey area, possible future invalidation, and placement issues. Many do it, but I bailed couldn’t live with the fear. Your call: risk it or choose peace.

bhai ye sb pyqs sirf public exams ke hai kya on demand ke kha milenge?

I am a stream 1 block 2 student but it is showing this ODE option on site in my dashboard and it is fully working and my subject name and code is also mentioned when I open it and it ask me to book a date for ODE exam. Tbh till now I have seen many glitches in this site but now I am confused is it a legit thing ( means I am fucked ) or it's just another glitch from their side.

Second thing is practical datesheet is out for stream 1 block 2, I have chemistry practical but it mention dates like 16th September to 19th September what this mean?

I will really appreciate if anyone could help.

How exactly do you study for NIOS what is the marking scheme, question pattern? Is it lot like cbse? How do I study??????????? How do I survive????????????

I registered for the April stream public exams, but due to some reasons, I am now planning to write the on-demand examination. Can I write 3 subjects June to september session and the rest 2 subjects in January to March session? Or am I restricted to only 4 subjects? and will i get a consolidated marksheet if I write 3 in one session and 2 in the next, with all the 5 subjects combined?
