The NIOS has streamlined the exam schedule for both classes. The tests will predominantly be held from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM.

This extended window allows for a structured and organized conduct of the numerous subject-wise examinations.
To ensure a smooth and hassle-free examination experience, the NIOS has released a set of mandatory guidelines. All students must adhere to the following protocols:
