The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) Provides various educational programs to learners. But at TenderlyTaugt we support our students with NIOS’s Open Basic Education (OBE), Secondary and Senior Secondary Programme. In case you wish to learn more about NIOS, please click here to visit their website.

 
This page is created to help our students understand the difference between NIOS’s OBE Programme and the Secondary or Senior Secondary programme. In this article, we will also look into how NIOS conducts exams for all of these programmes.  

The Open Basic Education Programme

Under the OBE programme, NIOS offers primary and senior primary education with these three levels:

  • Level A : Equivalent to class 1-3
  • Level B : Equivalent to class 4-5
  • Level C : Equivalent to class 6-8
The NIOS has launched the OBE Programme, as an alternative educational programme. This OBE program is equivalent to the elementary and primary education programmes of the formal education systems.  The certificates obtained after passing the OBE exams can be used for further education and employment (government jobs included). If students pass any of the levels, with the certificate obtained from NIOS students can join any formal school if they wish to. The Open Basic Education (OBE) program allows students to study from home and only attend exams conducted by NIOS.
 
Children below the age of fourteen or children and adults above the age of fourteen are eligible to enrol in the OBE programme. The admission starts on the 1st of April and ends on the 15th of September every year. The examination will be conducted in February each year. It is also worth noting that admission/ registration is valid for five years at each level. Students/ learners can take admission through an Accredited Agency by NIOS that is close to their residence or students can directly take admission with the NIOS online portal of NIOS at https://sdmis.nios.ac.in
 
You do not need the minimum educational qualification to get admission into the OBE programme.  The admission processing charge at Level A is Rs 300, Level B is Rs 500 and Level C is Rs 800. This fee is supposed to be paid to NIOS on their above-mentioned online portal. Exams are conducted at educational institutes across India. The NIOS has a network of accredited educational organisations that help NIOS to conduct the OBE examinations. Please click here to learn more about the OBE programme admissions process.
