Open School

The National Institute of Open School (NIOS) is an autonomous and registered organization established by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Govt. of India. NIOS is an "Open School" which caters to the needs of a diverse group of learners up to pre-degree level. It extends 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.
