NEW DELHI: The Directorate of Education (DoE) has released a guideline for the registration of government school students seeking admission to Class 10 through the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) for the 2025-26 academic year.
The move is part of the NIOS project aimed at checking the dropout rates among students, who have repeatedly failed in regular school examinations and providing them a chance to complete formal education through open schooling, said a circular.

Students from government schools under DoE who have been declared ‘fail’ or placed in ‘compartment’ in Class 9 or 10 for a minimum of two times up to the last session (2024-25) are eligible to register for the NIOS Class 10 programme.
Those who have failed or received a compartment for the first time in the 2024-25 session are not eligible under this scheme and are advised to continue in their existing schools.
Only students with valid School Leaving Certificates (SLCs) issued by the concerned school are eligible, the circular said.
Heads of schools are responsible for identifying, contacting and enrolling eligible students. They must ensure entries are updated in the MIS module before registration.
The circular also outlines the process for registration and mentions that classes will be conducted in about 75 designated study centres across Delhi.
Students can opt for two languages, Social Science as a compulsory subject and two other subjects with practicals. The languages include Hindi, English and Sanskrit, the circular said.

Students will be eligible for a uniform subsidy under the DoE’s Direct Benefit Transfer scheme, the circular said. The last date for submission of online applications and fees is July 31.
