The scheduled Public Exams in Theory & Practical of Secondary courses have been cancelled and Public Exams in Theory & Practical of Senior Secondary & Vocational courses have been postponed indefinitely.
Regarding the postponed Senior Secondary and Vocational courses exams, the NIOS will hold a review on 20 June 2021 to decide further courses of action.
