Most students can feel overwhelmed when they want to switch boards. Because they are worried about losing valuable academic credits. Worry not! The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) offers a smooth credit transfer process to help you continue your education without starting over again.
In this blog, we will explain how switching to NIOS is very easy.
Why Consider Switching to NIOS?
NIOS is a flexible open schooling board recognized by the Indian government and many international institutions. If you are in the UAE, we have NIOS admissions in Abu Dhabi open now and running. We allow students to continue studies flexibly at their pace and also allow the transfer of credits from other boards.

We notice students often switch to NIOS for:
- Flexible exam schedules
- Personalized learning pace
- Wide range of subject choices
- Ability to balance studies with other commitments
What is Credit Transfer in NIOS?
Credit transfer simply means that your previous education board credits are accepted by the NIOS education board for subjects they have passed. So, our NIOS centre in Abu Dhabi allows credit transfer so that students don’t have to repeat their exams or courses, saving them a lot of time.
Benefits of NIOS Credit Transfer at NIOS.ae
