NIOS Courses List - Summary
NIOS is “Open School” to cater to the needs of a heterogeneous group of learners up to the pre-degree level. It was started as a project with in-built flexibilities by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in 1979. In 1986, the National Policy on Education suggested strengthening of Open School System for extending open learning facilities in a phased manner at the secondary level all over the country as an independent system with its own curriculum and examination leading to certification.
The Government of India set up the National Open School (NOS) in November 1989. The pilot project of CBSE on Open Schools was amalgamated with NOS. Through a Resolution (No. F.5-24/90 Sch.3 dated 14 September 1990 published in the Gazette of India on 20 October 1990), the National Open School (NOS) was vested with the authority to register, examine and certify students registered with it up to pre-degree level courses.
