Overview
- NIOS set theory papers for April 10 to May 6, 2026, with the full timetable now posted on the official website and the sdmis.nios.ac.in portal.
- Several states — Rajasthan, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh — will hold some subjects on different days to prevent clashes with elections or state holidays.
- Practical exams are underway and will finish before the written tests begin at centres across India.
- Hall tickets will be released a few days before the start on sdmis.nios.ac.in, and students must bring the admit card plus a government photo ID to enter the centre.
- Most papers run in the afternoon from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm, and the board expects to post results within seven weeks of the last paper, with last year showing a 62.72% pass rate from 106,082 registered learners.
