NEW DELHI, 6 April 2024 – The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) has commenced its Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations for the year 2024 today. The NIOS public exams will be held from April 6 to May 22 across various exam centres in the country.
As per the schedule, students appearing for the NIOS Class 10 and Class 12 exams will have an additional 15 minutes of reading time, from 2:15 pm to 2:30 pm, before the start of the exam. The NIOS has made this decision to align its learners with their counterparts from other school education boards, ensuring equal academic opportunities and a more conducive examination environment.
