If you were unable to appear for your Class XI examination due to short attendance or have failed the exam, there's no need to panic. The perfect solution for saving your academic year is enrolling in the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) for the senior secondary level course. You can appear in your board examination the same year through the NIOS board. NIOS is a prominent government-approved board recognized by all universities across India for the past 25 years, passed by the HRD Ministry of India through the resolution (No. F.5-24/90 Sch.3 dated 14 September 1990) published in the Gazette of India on 20 October 1990.
Failing in Grade 11 can be disappointing, but it's not the end of the road. Students who fail Grade 11 will have to repeat the entire school year and take all exams for the next year's annual exams to clear their Grade 11 level. It's important to understand why you failed and strive to fill any gaps in your learning. Students with academic difficulties should focus on establishing a solid foundation and seek advice from teachers, guardians, and parents to improve their academic performance.
It's crucial to note that a year's loss can stop you from getting admission into your dream university/institution or can make you struggle to get a job. Institutes and universities require an affidavit to show why there was a gap between X and XII or what was your age when you did your class, X. Even when you go for an interview with a company, they scrutinize your CV or resume very minutely, checking your age when you did your X, and if there is a gap between your class X and XII. So, don't take a year's loss lightly, as it can significantly affect your career in the long run.
For students who have failed earlier in a class in middle school and fail in Class 11, it can be a big blow to their career and confidence. This gap will significantly affect their career in the long run. For such students, NIOS can act as a career savior by saving their year. The year gap will not hamper their career or act as a hindrance in their way to getting admitted to good education institutes or universities for higher studies.
The Equivalence of Senior Secondary Certificate Examination of NIOS has been recognized by the Association of Indian Universities, vide letter No. EV/11(354)/91/ 25 July 1991. Additionally, prestigious institutes such as the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur, Mumbai, Delhi, Kharagpur, Chennai, and the Institute of Technology in BHU, Varanasi, also recognize certificates issued by NIOS.
If a student fails the 11th CBSE exam, they will have to repeat the whole year and take all the exams for next year's annual exam to clear their 11th standard. Once they pass the 11th class exam, they can apply for admission to the same school or any other 12th class that offers the 12th class. If students wish to change schools, they must go through the new school's admissions process, which may involve submitting their Grade 11 transcripts and other required documents. However, it's important to note that admission to class 12 is subject to the availability of places and meeting the eligibility criteria of the respective school.
Deepak Singh, an ex-student of SS Coaching in Lucknow, UP, India, shared his experience that failing in the 11th board year can give more mental pressure and hiccups in a student's future education. However, he came across a newspaper advertisement which informed him about a senior secondary coaching institute in Lucknow, UP, India, for NIOS, which accepts failures.
