The NIOS On Demand Exam is a unique examination system developed by the National Institute of Open Schooling for students who want to save the academic year by reappearing for failed or compartment subjects at their convenience.
This article will cover the NIOS On Demand examination, registration process, eligibility criteria, benefits, preparation tips, etc.
What is the NIOS On Demand Exam?
The NIOS On Demand Exam allows students to appear for the examination within a month. It was organized in 2005 for secondary courses and later expanded to senior secondary in 2007.
With NIOS on demand exams, you can save your year and transfer subjects you’ve already passed.
For example, if you fail in one or more papers, you can easily apply for NIOS on demand admission. Also, you can transfer marks from two subjects and take exams in at least three subjects.
This combination of 2+3 papers will total five; upon passing the subjects, you will receive a marksheet.
Is the NIOS on demand exam tough?
From my experience, I don’t think it’s tough; you need to follow the syllabus and understand the pattern of the questions.
Do you know why some students say it is challenging? Because the Tutor-marked assignments do not apply to this exam. Why do the seats get full early if it’s hard to clear?
