What the NIOS list shows for Kolkata

The 21 listings belong to 19 institutions, because NIOS lists a centre once for each medium it teaches in. Two are ITI-linked; the other 17 are regular schools or colleges. 19 listings take Class 10 and 20 take Class 12.

Language and location in Kolkata

For a Bengali-medium Class 10 student there are 6 listings; Hindi or English covers the rest. Urdu medium shows up on one listing too. Going by the addresses, the centres are spread over 16 PIN codes, with listings in Park Street, Alipore and Thakurpukur among others. Parents often ask this: one is for girls only.

Before you choose a centre in Kolkata

Kolkata is the seat of the NIOS Regional Centre for West Bengal. For a normal admission everything happens on the NIOS portal. Your exam centre is allotted by NIOS and is not always your study centre. If you failed your exams with WBBSE or WBCHSE, it is worth comparing a re-attempt there with joining NIOS before you pay any fee. Roughly 29% have a renewal date that has not yet passed, so a quick check before applying is sensible. When a student from Kolkata sends us a marksheet, we check that the centre’s registration is still current and a Bengali-medium seat if you want one for Class 10, then file the form.
