N.I.O.S.
The National open School or the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) is an important initiative of the Government of India, created to cater to the educational needs of students who cannot attend regular schools.
The Saurabh science college offers NIOS a national board examination at two levels: secondary and higher secondary. The secondary level is equivalent to the ICSE, CBSE, SSLC, and other national or state Standard 10 board examinations. The higher secondary level is equivalent to the PUC and other Standard 12 board examinations. Many (but not all) boards, institutions, and universities across the country recognize the NIOS certification for continued or higher studies.
