What the NIOS list shows for Darjeeling
Nothing is listed twice here: 13 listings, 13 institutions. For Class 12 there are 11 listings to choose from; for Class 10, 13. Ten are schools or colleges and three are ITIs, which mostly admit their own trainees. Science is offered on 5 of 13 listings, close to the West Bengal average of about 37%.
Medium and where the centres are
Of the institutions, one is for boys only, which is worth knowing before you shortlist. Bengali medium is available on 1 listing. The rest are Hindi and English. The listings are spread over 9 PIN codes.
Before you choose a centre in Darjeeling
Do not assume you will sit the exam near home: the exam centre is printed on the hall ticket. Students who did not clear WBBSE or WBCHSE often weigh the board’s own re-exam against NIOS; we can compare both for you. On renewals, 3 listings are current and 10 show a date that has already passed. 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. For Darjeeling, the things we check first are whether a science seat is really available before you choose Physics, Chemistry or Biology, that the centre’s registration is still current and a Bengali-medium seat if you want one for Class 10.
