The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) has started the online registration for admission into levels A, B and C of its Open Basic Education (OBE) programme. The level A of NIOS’ OBE programme is equivalent to class 3 whereas level B and C are equivalent to classes 5 and 8 respectively. The admission portal for the programme will remain active till September 15.
To enroll in the NIOS OBE programme, a learner belonging to the category of street children, destitute, migrants, slum dwellers, and orphans who don’t have a residential address needs to furnish a self-certificate stating the same. This certificate also needs to be countersigned by the AA, NGO, or orphan home with complete name, designation and address along with their official stamp, the NIOS said.
Such candidates, however, will be required to submit a contact address for correspondence at the time of registration with NIOS. For detailed information on the admission process, candidates or their guardians can refer to the notification available on the NIOS portal.
