The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) has announced the release of the admit cards for the April-May 2026 Public (Theory) examinations. Students enrolled in both Secondary and Senior Secondary courses can access their hall tickets from the official website, sdmis.nios.ac.in, provided they have successfully paid their examination fees. NIOS has emphasized a mandatory two-year gap policy between passing Class 10 and appearing for Class 12 examinations. Senior Secondary students who do not meet this requirement will be restricted to appearing in no more than four subjects during this examination session. The admit card contains crucial information such as the student's name, enrollment number, course details, examination center, subject names and codes, as well as the dates and timings of each paper. Students are advised to verify all details on their admit cards to avoid complications on exam day, as the admit cards will not be sent offline. For those wishing to download their admit cards, they can follow a series of steps on the NIOS website or use the direct link provided.
