Before you choose a centre in Patiala
About 60% of the listings (18) show a current renewal date. Admission, fees and documents are handled online, so most students never need to visit the Regional Centre. Your exam centre is allotted by NIOS and is not always your study centre. If you failed your exams with PSEB, it is worth comparing a re-attempt there with joining NIOS before you pay any fee. Our part, for students in Patiala, is to 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 Punjabi-medium seat if you want one for Class 10 before anything is paid.
