Those students who failed in the board exam conducted by any recognized board this year, can now save their precious one year from getting wasted as National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) is giving them another chance. These students can appear in NIOS's second public exam that will be held in October this year. All they need to do is fill up the online registration form by July 20.

As per the regulation, an unsuccessful student has to write the exam for three additional subjects besides the subject in which s/he has failed. Besides this, the marks of the other two subjects obtained in the main board exam will be transferred. However, the condition is that those two subjects should be part of NIOS's education scheme. Students registered under this Transfer Of Credit (TOC) scheme have to attach a copy of the mark-sheet obtained from the main board.

Meanwhile, NIOS has announced registration for the secondary and senior secondary classes for the year 2014 and registration can be done online. There is no upper age limit for registration for these classes, but for registration for secondary (class X) and senior secondary (class XII), the candidate should not be less than 14 years and 15 years respectively on July 31 of the year of registration. The online registration for the batches is open till August 31.

Also, to encourage vocational studies, NIOS is coming up with teleconferencing facility for its students. With this facility, students at vocational study centres here can interact with the officials at headquarters in Noida and ask questions regarding vocational studies.
