NIOS has postponed the NIOS 10th and NIOS 12th exam until further notice.
The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) has postponed the NIOS Board exams 2020 for the Secondary and Senior Secondary (Theory), March/April 2020. NIOS 10th and NIOS 12th has been postponed considering the ongoing Coronavirus situation in the Country. NIOS Class 10 and Class 12 Exam 2020 theory papers were postponed days after NIOS had announced that it has postponed the practical exams which were scheduled to begin from today. According to the NIOS 10th Date Sheet 2020 and NIOS 12th Date Sheet 2020 the 10th 12th board exams are scheduled in July-August.
However, the students are not happy with NIOS decision to hold examination later and has been raising their voice through various hashtags on twitter like #promoteNIOS and #JusticeforNIOS. The students are demanding HRD Ministry to intervene and promote NIOS students as it was done for CBSE students. Although NIOS has canceled the Class 12 exams for children with special needs, there is still no official word for remaining students.
“Sir please save our dreams by saving our year. Please give us the same Opportunity as special need students to pass our exam on the basis of Question-answer based assignments,” says Manikarnika on Twitter.
“We are also students like CBSE board and ICSE board. Why you are discriminating us stop this discrimination and ignorance we are fed up of this,” says Ayesha Jamil.

Several other students are also citing “mental pressure” as they hope for the postponement of NIOS Board Exam 2020 amidst the rising number of COVID-19 cases.
“In NIOS there are approximately 4 lakh students and in that 4 lakh students, there is 40% of the student who is really brilliant and the rest 60% it is the average kind of student. So how could you even think to play with that 40% student’s life and career,” say messages from several students on Twitter.
With so many students approaching the HRD Minister through twitter and other social media handles, the question remains that will the NIOS Board Exam 2020 will be cancelled or will be held whenever the situation is conducive.
