Before you choose a centre in Patna
A marksheet from BSEB with one or two passed subjects is useful here, because NIOS can credit up to two of them. Only 3 of 24 listings show a renewal date that is still current. An expired date doesn’t always mean the centre has closed, but it is worth confirming before you pay. Forms, fees and document uploads all go through the NIOS portal, so a visit to the Regional Centre is rarely needed. A few listings show a different Regional Centre on the NIOS list, so check what your own form says. Your exam centre is allotted by NIOS and is not always your study centre. For Patna, the things we check first are that the centre’s registration is still current and whether Transfer of Credit can carry subjects over from your last marksheet.
