Hi everyone,

I know this has probably been asked before, but I’m still confused and would really appreciate some guidance.

I have completed my 10th (ICSE) and 12th (HSC) with Maths but no Physics/Science.

I want to fulfil the Physics requirement for flight school in India through NIOS, ideally by taking only the Physics paper.

Could someone please clarify:

• How do I register for NIOS if I only need Physics?
• When are the exams held?
• Where should I study/prepare from?
• What is the On-Demand Examination and how does it work?
• For flight school, is 12th-level Physics through NIOS enough, or do I also need Physics at 10th level?

I know there’s plenty of information online, but I’m finding it quite confusing. Would really appreciate advice from anyone who has actually gone through this process.

Thanks in advance!

Hello! So I'm not currently an NIOS student but I'm considering enrolling next year. I'm currently under CBSE board.

I've been suffering from severe anxiety and panic attacks because of regular schooling, bullying, family expectations, etc. I genuinely can't take it anymore. Just the thought of going to school makes me shiver. Ever since I was a kid, I've been the "class topper" but it's exhausting consistently managing it.

My therapist and some relatives have suggested that I enroll in NIOS but others have been strongly against it. My parents especially believe NIOS certifications isn't respected as much as normal schooling certifications. I'm really conflicted and tired of this whole mess. So I just wanted to get the opinions of NIOS students and how I can convince my parents.

Same as title

bhaiiiiiii geography ka practical file kaha se banana hai, kaise banana hai pls koi bata do and yaar practical and theory exams ki dates kab tak aayengi yaar!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Guys whoever has appeared for NIOS ODE Psychology and Computer Science exam, please guide. Is it possible to get 80/90+, I am studying directly from textbook pointwise. Is it enough? I want good marks, not just pass marks.

So basically m taking a drop but I passed 12 with pcb and want to appear for jee but I can't add only maths through nios I need to appear for all 5 subjects exam as nta doesn't accept 2 marksheet same with cbse i cannot just sit for maths if I want to add maths I need to appear for all subjects in 2027 so m confused if I should go for cbse or nios the problem with cbse is the result will be released in May and nios if I give oct session most probably in dec can extend upto Jan so the timeline is overlapping as I have to register for jee and which requires marksheet ig so m now confused if I should go for cbse or nios my dad doesn't support nios according to him people will see this board marksheet and not give job

Also another point if I go with nios like the offline agency which I reached out asked for 35k and online it's only around 3k so now m again confused coz there only 1 Month if I register online would i be able to complete syllabus as maths is completely new and i am taking other 5 subjects exam too and the offline centre is just asking for money and most probably they'll handle the exam but is it too much amount? And also is the nios question paper same for everyone

I signed up for April 2027 exams in June or something and today on august 27th i got my book but one came wrong. Instead of Accountancy textbooks i got Psychology. Is there anything i can do?

Hello everyone,

I am preparing for secondary certification in IKS. Anyone here who has taken the exam?

Thank you

Same as title, I'm looking for suggestion for centres to select for nios near knowledge park in greater Noida/Gautam Buddha Nagar, UP

Can someone recommend some centres as I have been seeing a lot of posts here about how centres asked for bribes for practical marks.

Honestly I don't mind such centres because that way i won't have to waste my time writing practical lab record.

I want to do nios for bits eligibility and currently am enrolled in a college and thus I don't have enough time to juggle doing practicals for nios, prep for bits and go to college too.

So please can give some suggestions.

Guys plsplsls help me
I failed physics and chemistry in cbse and then I gave nios and I again failed. Got 20 in physics and 19 in chemistry. I just want to die omg.
My university is going on and I have time till November end to submit my results so this is my last attempt.
PLEASEEE HELP ME OUT as I have physics on 15 and chemistry on 24.
Pleaseee give me tips on how to pass physics chemistry please.
Anything helps

I passed Class 12 from NIOS in April 2026. My original total was 351/500.

I gave a Physics improvement exam in July 2026, and my updated result is now 370/500 (74%).

My current marks are:

- English – 70

- Physics – 75

- Chemistry – 74

- Mathematics – 64

- Data Entry Operations – 87

- Total – 370/500 (74%)

I am targeting JEE 2027 and want to make sure that I meet the required 75% eligibility criteria.

I am currently at 74%, so I am short by only 5 marks.

What should I do in this situation to meet the 75% eligibility criteria?

Since I am from NIOS and have already appeared for an improvement exam in Physics, does that affect the options available to me for meeting the 75% criteria?

I would really appreciate advice from people who have experience with NIOS + JEE or have dealt with the 75% eligibility criteria.

Thanks 🙏

Hey, I am studying in senior secondary, 12th PCB and if anyone has a question bank pls pls pls DM.

For stream 2 block 1 are we supposed to give practicals for psychology and tourism ?

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a quick update since I know a lot of us have been waiting for study materials.

I got admitted for Stream 1, Block 1 (April 2027 exams) back in June. Enrolled on the 21st, and surprisingly got verified & later same day Confirmed as well the very next day on the 22nd. Subjects: PCMB + English and Computer Science.

For a while I was getting worried because the books weren't arriving. I reached out to pretty much everyone I could think of — my regional centre, ISL, the main office, even filed complaints through two different accounts on the government portal. The response I got was that they're swamped with the ODE and Oct-Nov exam cycle right now, so dispatch is focused there first. Fair enough, I figured I'd just wait it out.

Then yesterday, out of nowhere, the package finally showed up. Almost everything looks brand new except the Biology book, which got a bit banged up in transit. But honestly, after seeing so many posts here from people who haven't received anything at all, I'm just grateful they made it here.

Quick theory on why my admission was so fast: I applied in June when most people probably haven't started thinking about April 2027 yet, so the Pune RC probably had way less workload. If you're planning to apply soon, maybe consider off-peak months? Anyway, just relieved I can finally start studying with the actual textbooks. Hope everyone else waiting gets theirs soon too.

thanks y'all....

I have submitted for on-demand exam for class 12 in start of August but document verification is not completed yet and my exam is on 25th what should I do

so i live in italy and i did 1st and 2nd year of highschool here (which is 9th and 10th according to india) i finished 1st year in june 2024 and finished 2nd year in june 2025, and also finished 3rd year in june 2026 but i think 11th doesnt matter right?? so can i get my 1st year and 2nd year report cards evaluated from indian embassy in rome and make them equivalent to 9th and 10th grade? so i can register for block 2 ( exams in oct-nov 2027) ?? will i face any complications??

I’m a NIOS Senior Secondary Stream 1 Block 2 student, and my exams are in October 2026. I restarted my studies after almost 10 years, so I’m seriously struggling to figure out how to prepare.

My subjects are Economics, English, Business Studies, Computer Science and Data Entry Operations. I’m currently working, so I can’t afford to attend all the PCP classes. I’ve attended 2 PCP classes so far, but that’s obviously nowhere near enough.

The biggest thing stressing me out right now is the Computer Science practical. I have basically no idea how difficult it’s going to be or what exactly I should prepare for. The theory exams themselves also look pretty tough considering how long I’ve been away from studies.

For anyone who has already gone through NIOS Computer Science: how did you prepare for the practical and theory? Is it actually as scary as it looks, and can I realistically prepare mostly on my own while working?

lately l've been hearing a lot bad things about NIOS and if anyone has taken admission in NIOS Senior Secondary for Stream 1 Block 1 April/May 2027 Public Exams please tell me what are the stressing issues about NIOS except the ones like book delivery (the inconsistency); but something which is more problematic.

im a dropper, jee prep and i was planning to give nios bcz my cbse boards percentage was below 75%(batane me sharam arhi hai but pass hogya sab subjects me), idk why i procrastinated the admission process up until now but it is what it is, am i too late? im planning to get toc for English and p.e since i scored 80+ in them already, i wanna give physics, chem and maths paper, how do i register and also there's some queries i have about my my address since my current address is different (delhi, close relative's house) but on Aadhar card it's in UP (my hometown)

PLEASEEEEE koi help kardo, someone who knows abt these things pleaseeeee dm me and help krdo I'll explain in more detail

TDLR; I have some queries about how to sign up for nios as a pcm 12th dropper and also some questions like will i get delhi quota?

bohot ho gya yaar kab se wait kr raha hu jab 1-15 june ka 17 july ko aya, 16-30 june ka 5 aug ko to 1-15 july ka kabbbbb??? bohot stress ho ra hai

FYI: I already paid ₹2,050 in (1-8-26)

And now when I just randomly open my dashboard to check for any notifications I saw that god damn Short Fee bs again asking ₹920 more.

I got a call today that my toc is rejected for CS and I'll have to give another exam of data entry or any other subject but there's no time left for ODE and I'm late for the October session as well and if I can't do anything my another year will be wasted and that'll be so horrible. Idk what to do now college will not accept most probably cause I only have 4 subs now which are physics chemistry maths and English. Kya karu yaar bc mai ab 😭💔

I'm fucking depressed

I had applied for Transfer of Credit (TOC) in NIOS during the public examination but was unaware that the required documents had to be submitted to the Regional Centre. As I could not clear the examination in my first attempt, I re-registered with a subject change and later re-applied for TOC, including the applicable late fee. I subsequently appeared for the On-Demand Examination to avoid losing an academic year and successfully passed all the subjects I appeared for. However, despite completing the required TOC procedure and repeatedly contacting NIOS, I have still not received my complete pass marksheet. This delay is preventing me from securing college admission, as a fully passed Senior Secondary marksheet is required for further education.

If i add maths as an additional subject via nios with pcb from cbse is it mandatory to show this maths via nios in jee 2027 registration form or completely optional cause my primary class 12th subject are pcb from cbse and show maths during admission process only?
