NIOS Regional Centre Guwahati handles Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura. The 2026-27 prospectus counts 566 active centres for this office’s whole area.
Assam NIOS centres in numbers
On 8 October 2026 the official NIOS study-centre list showed 412 active listings in Assam, from 237 institutions in 33 districts as NIOS names them. 236 of these institutions are schools or colleges and one (under 1%) is linked to an ITI. Science is offered on 52 listings (13%), and 33 listings (8%) show a renewal date that is still current. The districts with the most listings are Dhubri (37), Cachar (23), Goalpara (23), Kamrup (21) and Karbi Anglong (20). By medium: Hindi and English (221); Assamese (177); English only (11); Bengali (2); Urdu (1). Assamese and other regional mediums appear on some Secondary listings; Senior Secondary follows the national medium list. Guwahati itself has only a few listings compared with the long Assam-wide list, so families in the city choose from a short local set.
Board exam or NIOS in Assam
The usual alternative is the SEBA (Class 10) or AHSEC (Class 12) private or reappearance route. After a failed board attempt, Assam students often weigh that against NIOS Stream 2. We compare dates and subject options for your case.
