What is NIOS Reference Number?
The NIOS Reference Number is a unique identification number assigned to a candidate upon the successful submission of their application form for admission.
This number is provided by the National Institute of Open Schooling to confirm that your application has been received and processed.
The reference number is usually found on the student dashboard and is also sent to the registered email address once the online admission form has been successfully submitted.
Components of the Reference Number
The NIOS reference number consists of 5 components, formatted as follows:
A03242*****
Here’s what each component represents:
A: The first letter represents the stream code.
03: The second component represents the regional centre code.
24: The third component denotes the academic year.
2: The fourth component shows the level of education (2 for secondary and 3 for Senior Secondary).
*****: The fifth component is the serial number (hidden for privacy).
You can identify the admission stream using the first letter of the reference number:
- A: Stream 1, Block 1 (April session)
- B: Stream 2
- C: On Demand for Secondary
- D: On Demand for Senior Secondary
- N: Stream 1, Block 2 (October session)
Common Issues and Their Solutions
I know you have a question like, “I applied for online registration a month ago, but my admission status of NIOS is still not confirmed. What should I do?”
Wait a few more days until you receive a comment on your dashboard.
What Does ‘Document Verification in Progress’ Mean?
“NIOS Document Verification in Progress” is a default message that appears after you’ve submitted your application fees. This simply means that your form is under review, and once verified, the status will change to “Admission Confirmed.”
What do you mean by ‘Submission Pending’?
This issue often occurs if the form is not completed or if there is a payment gateway error, even if the payment has been deducted. If your payment status shows “Consumed: Yes,” there’s no need to worry.
Make sure you’ve received your reference number after payment.
Why is the portal showing Document Required?
This issue often occurs if you have not uploaded the required document. If you see a “Document required” message on the portal, log in to your student dashboard and upload the documents. Once you upload the relevant document, your NIOS admission status will be confirmed.
