NIOS English & Accountancy Exams Rescheduled: New Dates

The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) has confirmed the rescheduled dates for several key subjects, including English and Accountancy, which were part of the theory examinations postponed due to administrative issues, primarily the Bihar Assembly Elections. Students should be aware that the new timetable places these crucial papers on new dates in late November and early December 2025.

Subject-Specific Date Changes

The subjects that saw the most notable shifts in their exam dates are now officially scheduled as follows:

• Accountancy (Secondary/Class 10):
• New Date: November 29, 2025 (Saturday).
• Applicability: Only for candidates in Bihar State.
• Timing: 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm.
• English (Secondary/Class 10):
• New Date: December 1, 2025 (Monday).
• Applicability: For candidates in Bihar State and the Nuapada Assembly constituency in Odisha.
• Timing: 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm.

Context of the Postponement

The exams were originally part of the October-November 2025 session. The necessity to reschedule arose to accommodate the smooth conduct of the Bihar Assembly polls. The NIOS had to implement a targeted rescheduling to minimize disruption for students in all other states, ensuring that only the genuinely affected regions received a new, specific timetable.

Students who were preparing for these papers as per the original schedule should immediately consult the revised date sheet available on the official NIOS website to prevent any confusion and ensure they arrive at their centres on the correct, updated date.

The definitive dates for postponed exams like English and Accountancy offer closure to students who faced uncertainty. This clear schedule allows NIOS candidates in Bihar and Nuapada, Odisha, to finalise their preparation and appear for their examinations on the new dates: November 29 and December 1, 2025.
