Official subject pages may list books or lesson PDFs, videos, audio, TMA links, learner guides and worksheets. These vary by subject and can change over time. On some subject pages, English-medium and Hindi-medium files are listed separately, and regional-medium material has its own official pages.

How to Choose the Correct NIOS Study Material

  1. Confirm the level: Secondary (Class 10) or Senior Secondary (Class 12).
  2. Check the subject code. Similar subject names use different codes at the two levels.
  3. Choose the correct medium. English, Hindi and regional-language files may be listed separately.
  4. Identify the resource type: books or modules, syllabus, sample papers, TMA or previous papers.
  5. Verify the session or year shown on the page, and use the version that applies to your examination.
  6. Bookmark the official source page, not only the downloaded file, so you can check for later updates.

Secondary codes commonly begin with 2 and Senior Secondary codes commonly begin with 3, but always verify the exact code from the official subject list. For example, Hindi is 201 at Secondary level and 301 at Senior Secondary level. Economics is 214 and 318, and Home Science is 216 and 321.

  2. Divide the modules into a weekly plan based on your target examination date.
  3. Make short notes in your own words after each lesson.
  4. Complete the in-text and self-assessment questions.
  5. Use sample and previous year question papers after completing the main topics.
  6. Keep TMA preparation separate and follow the official instructions for your session.
  7. Check official announcements for changes to examinations, assignments or study material.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is NIOS study material available free online?

Course-material PDFs and digital resources on official NIOS pages can generally be opened without a login. Availability varies by subject, medium and session. Student-specific services or account records may need a login, and printed books are a separate matter, so check the official price list or your study centre.

Where can I find NIOS Class 10 and Class 12 books?

Use the official Secondary (Class 10) and Senior Secondary (Class 12) course-material pages, which link to a page for each subject. NIOS Regional Centre websites and the NIOS Digital Education and e-Resource Platform are other official routes to digital resources.

How do I choose the correct subject, subject code and medium?

Match the class level, subject name, subject code and medium shown on the official page. Secondary codes commonly begin with 2 and Senior Secondary codes commonly begin with 3, but verify the exact code from the official subject list. For example, English (302) and Chemistry (313) are Senior Secondary subjects, while Hindi is 201 at Secondary level and 301 at Senior Secondary level.

Is the study material the same for Class 10 and Class 12?

No. The two levels use separate course material, subject codes and syllabi, even where subject names are similar. A Class 10 file should not replace the matching Class 12 file, or the other way round.

How are NIOS TMA assignments submitted?

The submission method depends on the current NIOS instructions, your study centre, admission stream and session. NIOS has issued notices about downloading and uploading TMAs through the student portal for some sessions, but this should not be assumed for every learner. TMA rules may differ by admission stream, so follow the official notice that applies to you.

Are 31 January and 31 July the TMA deadlines?

Not necessarily. 31 January (April/May examination) and 31 July (October/November examination) are commonly listed dates on official TMA pages, but they are not permanent deadlines. NIOS can extend or change them, so verify the current official notice for your session.

Where can I find the NIOS syllabus, previous year question papers, digital library and videos?

Syllabus and sample-paper links are listed on official subject and Regional Centre pages where provided. Previous year question papers are on the official Question Paper of Previous Examination page. The NIOS Digital Education and e-Resource Platform covers e-resources, and the official Video Gallery lets you filter lessons by course, medium and subject.

Can NIOSinfo.in provide official NIOS account support?

No. NIOSinfo.in is an independent educational information website. For official help with admissions, accounts, examinations, results or personal records, contact NIOS through its official channels.
