What a NIOS study centre does
Your study centre (an Accredited Institution, or AI) is chosen in the online admission form. It runs your Personal Contact Programme classes, checks your Tutor Marked Assignments and conducts practical classes — free of extra charge. What your centre must provide.
- AI code: the centre’s official NIOS code, shown on each district page.
- Seats (total / free): capacity and the balance on the day we checked.
- Science available: whether the centre runs science practicals.
