Official NIOS Academic Prospectus 2026–27 ↗How this forecast was calculated
Four consecutive Indian academic prospectuses were compared. Each used the same Stream 1 cycle: Block I from 16 March to 15 September and Block II from 16 September to 15 March, with the no-late-fee dates ending on 31 July and 31 January. DOB eligibility moved forward by exactly one year while the required ages stayed 14 for Secondary and 15 for Senior Secondary.
NIOS may revise dates, fees, extensions or rules. We replace forecasts with verified facts when the official yearly prospectus or notification is published.
