About 60% of the listings (25) show a current renewal date. Your file goes to the NIOS Regional Centre Dehradun. Admission, fees and documents are all handled online, so most students never need to go there. The study centre and the exam centre are separate; NIOS publishes exam centres before each session. A marksheet from the Uttarakhand Board with one or two passed subjects is useful here, because NIOS can credit up to two of them. Our part, for students in Nainital, is to check the subject mix against NIOS group rules and your Transfer of Credit from your last marksheet before anything is paid.
