Through open and distance learning, the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) takes a learner-centered approach to education. Compared to any other formal school, it provides a diverse selection of disciplines. Learners are able to mix and match subjects to meet their own needs and objectives. Learners study at their own speed using self-instructional resources that have been particularly tailored for them. Audio-video and face-to-face contact lessons are given at the study centers on vacations and weekends to augment this learning. Learners have the option of taking tests in their disciplines one at a time, depending on their preparedness. There is a credit accumulation provision. The learners’ registration is valid for a duration of five years.
