Re : National Open School-Equivalence of Senior Secondary Certificate Examination
Dear Sir.
We have noted that Govt. of India have set up the National Open School on 23 November, 1989. The ‘NOS’
offers courses preparing students for the Secondary and Senior Secondary School Examinations, apart
from other courses. The Govt. of India, through a Resolution, vide No. F5/23/90 dated 14 September 1990,
vested the National Open School with authority to examine and certify its students.
The Association of Indian Universities, at their recent meeting has granted equivalence of the courses of
NOS with those of other examinations of recognized boards for purposes of admission to higher studies at
Indian Universities. The matter has been brought to the notice of all Universities in the country for their
appropriate action.
Kindly write to us in case of any difficulty by the students; we would approach the Universities accordingly.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully.
