Passing criteria
| Requirement | Minimum |
|---|---|
| Theory examination | 40% |
| Practical (School Experience) | 50% |
| Aggregate | 50% |
The Programme Guide states the passing criteria as 50% for the practical, 40% for the theory exam and 50% in aggregate.
Online contact classes
The course has at least 10 days of online contact classes – 40 sessions of 90 minutes (60 hours). The sessions are not ordinary lectures: they resolve the specific difficulties you face during self-study, and include live sessions, doubt-clearing and mentoring by subject experts. They are held on weekends or holidays.
| Course | Sessions | Contact hours |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – Child Development | 8 | 12 |
| 2 – Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment | 8 | 12 |
| 3 – Language-I | 4 | 6 |
| 4 – Language-II | 4 | 6 |
| 5 – Mathematics | 4 | 6 |
| 6 – The World Around Us | 4 | 6 |
| 7 – School Experience | 8 | 12 |
| Total | 40 | 60 |
The portal has also rescheduled sessions when needed – for example the classes of 07.11.2026 were moved to 10.11.2026 – so keep checking your dashboard and the portal notices.
From admission to certificate
After you successfully complete the course, NIOS issues a certificate. Results are expected in weeks 30 to 32 of the tentative academic calendar.
Study material and how to use it

- Teaching is also supported by live video programmes, video tutorials and the NIOS YouTube channel.
- You log in to the Teacher’s Dashboard for the start date, study material and orientation schedule.
Exam preparation plan

- Complete and upload your assignments early so that the internal marks are secure.
- Keep your School Experience records (lesson plans, portfolio, journal) ready and signed.
- Revise Courses 1 and 2 in more depth: they carry 75 marks each.
