What they study · The boards
CBSE and NIOS: two recognised boards, one school day
Nothing to sit for years: a child learns through the four levels, with records kept in the board's form, and goes on to the 10th and 12th examinations in time, on CBSE or on NIOS. Both certificates are recognised for university admission and the national entrance examinations.
Board one
Central Board of Secondary Education
The national board most of India's schools follow, under the Ministry of Education. Its 10th and 12th are recognised everywhere a child may want to go. [CBSE AFFILIATION DETAILS: the school through which children sit the CBSE examinations, and the class from which its syllabus is followed]
Board two
National Institute of Open Schooling
A national board under the Ministry of Education, made for learning that does not happen in a classroom. Its 10th and 12th certificates are recognised for university admission and the national entrance examinations. [NIOS REGISTRATION DETAILS, once in place]

Admission · Choosing the board
Which board is my child on?
Two recognised boards, one school day. The admission team helps each family choose the board that suits the child. [HOW THE BOARD IS CHOSEN]
"CBSE or NIOS: which is my child on?"
Both boards are offered on the same school day, with the same acharyas and the same Indian Knowledge Systems beside them. The admission team helps you choose the board that suits your child when they speak with you. [HOW THE BOARD IS CHOSEN: who follows CBSE, who follows NIOS, and whether a child can move between them]
"What does the board mean for a child of five?"
Nothing to sit, for years. A young child simply learns, through the four levels, and the school keeps the records the board requires. The first board examination is the 10th, with the 12th after it.
"Are both recognised?"
Yes. CBSE, the Central Board of Secondary Education, and NIOS, the National Institute of Open Schooling, are both national boards under the Ministry of Education. Their 10th and 12th certificates are recognised for university admission and the national entrance examinations. [CBSE AFFILIATION DETAILS]
"Can we move to another board later?"
Yes. Records are kept in the form the board requires, so a child who moves carries a clear account of what they have learnt: a learning record, a portfolio and a transfer letter.
