The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) formerly
known as National Open School (NOS) was established in 1989 as an autonomous
organisation in pursuance of National Policy on Education 1986 by the Ministry
of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India. NIOS is providing a
number of vocational, life enrichment and community oriented courses besides
general and academic courses at secondary and senior secondary level. It also
offers elementary level courses through its open basic education programs
(OBE).Government of India through a gazette notification vested NIOS with the
authority to examine and certify learners registered with it upto pre degree
level courses.
It was started as a project with in-built flexibilities by
the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in 1979. In 1986, the National
Policy on Education suggested strengthening of Open School System for extending
open learning facilities in a phased manner at secondary level all over the
country as an independent system with its own curriculum and examination
leading to certification. Consequently, the Ministry of Human Resource
Development (MHRD), Government of India set up the National Open School (NOS) .
The pilot project of CBSE on Open School was amalgamated with NOS. Through a
Resolution (No. F.5-24/90 Sch.3 dated 14 September 1990 published in the
Gazette of India on 20 October 1990), the National Open School (NOS) was vested
with the authority to register, examine and certify students registered with it
up to pre-degree level courses.
