Let’s discuss what TOC (Transfer of Credit) means in the context of NIOS OPEN SCHOOL. TOC, which stands for Transfer of Credit, is a facility available only to students who have not failed in all subjects in their 10th and 12th classes from any recognized board. Students can opt for TOC for subjects they have passed in their previous board results. TOC can be chosen when the same subject is mentioned in the NIOS subject scheme. Before applying for the TOC facility, students must check the NIOS subject TOC scheme and the list of board names accepted by NIOS for TOC.
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.
The benefit of this facility will not be available to the students who have failed in 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th or 11th class or crossed five years after failing in the 10th or 12th class.
