NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling)

In our school, it is our obligation to serve our largest constituency, our children. The future after all belongs to them. The NIOS Secondary Course has been introduced in our school since June 2001. Every year we have 30 students on an average appearing for the board examinations in April-May.

The NIOS introduced by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (Department of Education), New Delhi provides opportunities for continuing and developmental education to interested learners through the Secondary Education Course (equivalent to Std.X).

The curriculum design provides knowledge that is functional, useful in daily life as well as sets the pathway for further studies. Specially designed, printed self instructional study material in all the subjects is provided to every pupil. During the course of study, a pupil may know his progress through Tutor Marked Assignments (TMAs).
