Who We Are

A coaching institute, built like a workshop.

Indian Institute of Open Schooling (IIOS) is a privately run training and coaching institute. We help learners prepare for recognised open-schooling board exams (such as NIOS and state open-school boards), and we run our own vocational and skill-development diploma courses.

We are not a government examination board, and we do not issue certificates equivalent to a state or national board. Where students need a board-recognised 10th or 12th certificate, we prepare them for and guide their enrolment with the actual recognised board — the exam and final certificate come from that board directly.

Our Mission

Skills first. Paperwork second.

Too many learners are sold certificates instead of skills. IIOS exists to flip that: every course is built around something a learner can actually do at the end of it — wire a circuit, service a laptop, run a tally book, edit a video — with exam coaching as a supporting track, not the main product.

We keep our claims narrow on purpose: we tell you exactly what a course prepares you for, who issues the final certificate, and where it's accepted, before you enrol.

What We Offer

Six ways to learn with us.

01

Open Schooling Exam Coaching

Structured tutoring for students enrolled with NIOS or a state open school board — we coach, the board certifies.

04

Online Learning Tracks

Self-paced video courses with live doubt-clearing sessions, for learners outside our physical centers.

Learner Stories

In their own words.

"I came in for the NIOS coaching and left with a bookkeeping certificate too — didn't expect the extra course to be this useful."

— Deepak, Ranchi Center
"Appreciated that they told me clearly which certificate was theirs and which was the board's. No confusion at all."
— Fatima, Online Track

Questions

Frequently asked.

Is IIOS a government board?+
No. IIOS is a private training and coaching institute. We are not affiliated with or authorised to issue certificates on behalf of any government education board.
Will my 10th/12th certificate come from IIOS?+
No. If you're preparing for a 10th or 12th equivalent, your certificate is issued by the recognised board you register with (like NIOS) — IIOS only provides the coaching.
What do IIOS's own courses give me?+
A IIOS course-completion certificate for the specific skill or diploma studied — useful for job applications, not a substitute for a school-leaving certificate.
Can I open a franchise center?+
Yes, we do work with partner centers. Contact us for our current criteria and terms — full details are shared before any agreement is signed.
