Why Has NIOS Changed the Examination Centres?
These changes have been made due to the upcoming Panchayati Raj elections in Rajasthan. Elections may have an impact on the availability of school buildings and other places, which would require the exams to be held at some other place.
These arrangements are meant to help in conducting the exams at some other center. Candidates must understand that their initial hall ticket venue cannot be considered valid on the dates of the notification.
Has NIOS Exam Schedule October-November 2026 Been Changed?
This is related to changes in the exam centers on certain dates only. This does not mean that there has been any change in the schedule of the exam itself.
Candidates are advised to keep preparing for the exams as per the scheduled dates.
