NIOS Postpones Class 10, 12 Exams Due to Bihar Elections
Imagine you have a big test coming up, but the school has to change the date.
That's what happened with some tests for students in Class 10 and 12 who study at NIOS, which is a special school.
The school had to postpone some of their tests that were supposed to happen on November 6th.
This is because of elections happening in a place called Bihar, and it made things too busy for the school to give the tests as planned.
Some tests for subjects like Physics and History are affected.
But don't worry, the school said they will tell everyone the new dates very soon on their website.
Tests happening in other countries won't be changed, though.
Most tests will still happen until November 18th, with the next ones on November 7th.
NIOS has postponed Class 10 and 12 exams scheduled for November 6, 2025, across India.
The postponement is attributed to the Bihar Assembly Elections and related administrative and logistical challenges.
Specific subjects affected include Class 12 Physics, History, Environmental Science, Library and Information Science, and Class 10 Painting.
Revised dates for the postponed exams will be announced on the official NIOS website.
Examinations at overseas centers will proceed as per the original schedule.
