We request the concerned authorities to consider cancelling the upcoming NIOS exams for the following reasons :

1. Many Students have not received their Study Materials or Books.

2. NIOS Board's Study Centres were closed for more than 1 and a half year.

3. There were no Online Classes for students to at least clear their Doubts.

4. Many State Boards even CBSE Board had reduced its Syllabus for their students but

NIOS did not reduce anything.

5. NIOS has not altered its examination pattern unlike CBSE. CBSE conducted MCQ

based examinations for its Students.

6. NIOS did not declare any notification for keeping the study centres as the exam

centre for students convenience rather have given the students a different exam centre to its students.

7. Many Student from NIOS board are suffering from different illness such as

Depression, Mental Pressure, High Stress due to no proper guidance regarding their studies or their exam cancellation.

8. We most of students are not even vaccinated yet! As we are students of NIOS

October batch 2020-2021 due to COVID no PCP classes were being conducted in Study Centres so that we can prepare for Exams! We also didn't have any online or offline classes even as all Tuition classes were closed!

9. NIOS also covers 11th + 12th Class Syllabus for Senior secondary which is

impossible to cover for us in such a short span of time.

10. Teachers are vaccinated but not Students. If anything happens to any one student

who is responsible for his/her life?

Therefore, it's a humble request that:

NIOS board should cancel its October exams just as the June session exams were cancelled and promote on the basis of TMA + Practical. Even October batch students are from the same
