Open board

Open board 10th and 12th

Finish your 10th or 12th without going to school every day. See who can apply, how it works, and talk to a counsellor.

How it works for you

Finish your 10th or 12th, your way

The open board lets you complete Class 10 or Class 12 outside regular school. It suits students who missed school, left studies early, did not clear a subject, or are working and studying together.

Open boards such as NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) are recognised boards. We explain which board and course suit you, check that it fits your next step, and handle the registration with you.

  • Study at your own pace, with no daily attendance
  • No upper age limit for learners
  • Public exams are held twice a year

  1. Talk to a counsellor

    Tell us your last class, your age and why you need the certificate. We check which course you are eligible for.

  2. Choose board and subjects

    We explain the open boards, pick the one that suits you, and help you choose subjects that fit your next step.

  3. Get your documents ready

    We tell you exactly which documents to bring and check them before anything is submitted.

  4. We handle the registration

    We fill the admission form, upload the documents and guide you through the fee, so nothing is missed.

  5. Study and take the exam

    You study at your own pace with the board's material. We keep you informed about exam forms and dates.

  6. Certificate and next step

    Once you pass, we help you plan what comes next: a higher course, a diploma or a college admission.
