What is NIOS Part Admission or Dual Enrollment?
NIOS Part Admission, also known as Dual Enrollment, is a unique program started by the National Institute of Open Schooling for students who have already passed Class 10 or 12 but want to improve their academic performance.
This option allows students to take 1 to 4 additional subjects to appear for. This scheme issues only a single marksheet for the selected subjects upon passing; it does not issue migration or provisional certificates.
Thousands of students take advantage of this opportunity each year to enhance their percentages or add specific subjects without retaking all their exams.
