NIOS follows a flexible study pattern that allows learners to study at their own pace and convenience. Here are the key aspects of the NIOS study patterns:
Self-paced Learning: NIOS provides self-learning materials, textbooks, and online resources for students to study independently.
Personal Contact Program (PCP): NIOS conducts optional PCPs, which are face-to-face sessions held at study centers. These sessions provide additional guidance and support to learners.
Tutor Marked Assignments (TMAs): Students are required to submit TMAs based on the subjects they are studying. These assignments are an integral part of the assessment process.
Practical Examinations: For subjects with practical components, NIOS conducts practical exams at designated centers.
