NIOS admission in Howrah

Howrah at a glance

Source: official NIOS study-centre search, academic centres marked active, checked 8 October 2026. We count listings only and never publish centre names or contacts.

Reading the Howrah centre list

Nothing is listed twice here: 13 listings, 13 institutions. Every listing takes Class 12 (Senior Secondary) students, and 12 also take Class 10. Twelve are schools or colleges and one is an ITI, which mostly admits its own trainees. If you want Physics, Chemistry or Biology, Howrah is a good place to be: 7 listings (54%) offer science, compared with about 37% statewide.

Medium and where the centres are

They are spread across 6 PIN codes, so travel time differs a lot from one centre to the next. Parents often ask this: one is for boys only. For a Bengali-medium Class 10 student there are 5 listings; Hindi or English covers the rest.

Before you choose a centre in Howrah

Your exam centre is allotted by NIOS and is not always your study centre. Coming from WBBSE or WBCHSE? NIOS lets you carry up to two passed subjects across through Transfer of Credit, which can save a year. On renewals, 3 listings are current and 10 show a date that has already passed. Admission, fees and documents are handled online, so most students never need to visit the Regional Centre. Our part, for students in Howrah, is to check that the centre’s registration is still current and a Bengali-medium seat if you want one for Class 10 before anything is paid.
