What is TOC in NIOS?
TOC in NIOS stands for Transfer of Credit, a unique feature offered by the National Institute of Open Schooling.
It allows students to merge their marks from a previous board to NIOS by submitting their original fail mark sheet. This facility is only available for fail candidates.
Fact about TOC in NIOS
- Students can transfer marks for up to two papers they passed in the previous five years, provided the subjects match the NIOS subject list.
- Existing NIOS candidates who haven’t passed in the last 10 years can transfer marks for up to four subjects they passed.
- Most Indian boards recognize this facility, which is available for both secondary and senior secondary courses.
