The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) has released the examination date sheet for its October 2026 session, making the schedule available on its official portal sdmis.nios.ac.in. The examination window will open on October 22, 2026, for both secondary and senior secondary level students enrolled with the open schooling system.
