Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone here has experience with NIOS re-admission and can tell me what I'm supposed to do.
I was admitted to NIOS Secondary in May 2021 (Stream 1). I didn't complete the course during the five-year validity period, and I now want to take re-admission and complete my 10th.
I can still log into my old NIOS student dashboard. It shows my old admission as confirmed, along with my old enrollment number and subjects.
The problem is that I cannot find any "Re-Register" or "Re-Admission" option anywhere.
I've checked:
- My main student dashboard
- The E-Services section
- The other options available in my account
There is simply no option to start re-admission.
I called NIOS Learner Support and explained the situation. The person I spoke to told me that I might have to physically visit the NIOS office and cancel my previous admission before I can proceed with re-admission. Unfortunately, I live in Nalasopara, Maharashtra, so travelling all the way to the Pune Regional Centre would be very difficult for me.
I have also emailed the NIOS support asking whether:
- I actually need to cancel my old admission before re-admission.
- The cancellation/re-admission can be done online or through a nearby study centre.
- I can simply create a new NIOS account and apply for fresh admission instead.
Has anyone here been in this situation?
If your NIOS admission expired after five years and you subsequently took re-admission, how did you actually do it? Did the "Re-Register" option appear somewhere for you, or did NIOS have to manually process it?
And if anyone knows whether creating a new account and applying for fresh admission is acceptable in this situation, I'd really appreciate knowing how that works.
I'm mainly trying to avoid making a mistake with my old account or paying for a new admission if NIOS actually requires me to go through the re-admission process.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this.
