What the NIOS list shows for Bengaluru
Those 112 listings come from 81 institutions; a centre that teaches in two mediums is listed twice. Science is offered on 24 of 112 listings, close to the Karnataka average of about 16%. Only one is ITI-linked; the other 80 are regular schools or colleges.
Language and location in Bengaluru
Kannada medium is available on 26 listings. The rest are Hindi and English. Urdu medium shows up on four listings too. Going by the addresses, the centres are spread over 52 PIN codes, with listings in Bengaluru, Anekal, Yelahanka and Banashankari among others. Parents often ask this: one is for girls only and two are for boys only.
Before you choose a centre in Bengaluru
The study centre and the exam centre are separate; NIOS publishes exam centres before each session. Students who did not clear the SSLC or PUC board often weigh the board’s own re-exam against NIOS; we can compare both for you. 85 of the 112 listings (76%) carry a current renewal date, below the Karnataka figure of 84%. NIOS splits Bengaluru Urban into North and South; we count both here. The Regional Centre for Karnataka is in Bengaluru. For a normal admission everything happens on the NIOS portal. A few listings show a different Regional Centre on the NIOS list, so check what your own form says. When a student from Bengaluru sends us a marksheet, we check whether a science seat is really available before you choose Physics, Chemistry or Biology, that the centre takes Class 12, not only Class 10 and a Kannada-medium seat if you want one for Class 10, then file the form.
