NIOS stands for National Institute of Open Schooling. In 1979, CBSE
(Central Board of School Education) started a flexible inbuilt project for
providing quality education. Formerly, it was known as the National Open School till 2002. Later, it was established as the name NIOS in 1989 by
the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India. The motive behind open schooling is to provide universal, regular and holistic education to bring a rise in literacy level in remote as well as rural areas. The aim of this institute is to support skill development and flexible learning methodology so that most of the students can get an education even after their school or working hours.

This feature is provided by NIOS OPEN SCHOOL BOARD, allowing you to transfer your marks. If you have not failed or received poor marks in any recognized board's exams, you can seek admission to NIOS BOARD and utilize the TOC
facility. TOC is available for up to two pass subjects.
Now, suppose you have failed in one or two or three subjects in your 10th or
12th exams. In this case, the marks of one or two subjects will be transferred to your NIOS mark sheet. If you pass all in allover results in your previous board, you won't be eligible for the TOC facility for two subjects. Instead, you can apply for an improvement exam.
