NIOS ODES 2019

NIOS has been working on the concept of On-Demand Examination (ODE) at Secondary Level since 2003 in the area of its feasibility and operationalization. The novel concept of ODE is a great step in the direction of flexibility to open and distance learning. This will make the total system of examination independent of the time frame and will help the student to take up the examinations as per their wish and preparation.

The basic concept of On-Demand Examination is that NIOS Student can walk into the examination center as and when he/she feel ready for the examination. NIOS re-introduced the ODES at Secondary level in 2005. With the success of ODE at Secondary level, NIOS started the On-Demand Examination in Sr.Secondary also from October 2007. At present, ODES is being conducted at NIOS HQ at NOIDA and at its Regional Centres/sub-centers of NIOS in the following subjects at Secondary and Sr.Secondary level.
