It has a current enrolment of about 2.2 million students at Secondary, Senior Secondary & Vocational levels which makes it the largest open schooling system in the world.

It also offers a wide choice of courses of study in general, vocational and continuing education up to pre-degree level. NIOS also provides effective student support for new students by establishing study points , organizations and institutions in India abroad. It is also concerned and responsible for conducting examinations and issuing certificates to successful pass outs. Undertaking research, innovation and development works in the area of Open School system and disseminate the findings to all stakeholders is other task and function that this board has to fulfill. To act as Resource Organization and Capacity Building Centre in open schooling at national as well as international level.
Though NIOS is flexible and recognized by all the boards across India. The CICSE and CBSE boards (for 11th and 12th std) take students from the NIOS stream only if they have given all 5 exams in one sitting and another requisite is that the student needs to have taken English and one more language as subjects.
Similarly NIOS is accepted in almost all colleges and IITs. Some argue that the child has completed, as mentioned above, all subjects in one sitting, and English plus second language in their 10th. All colleges having an entrance exam for qualifying the students do recognize NIOS. For Children who have language difficulties, and do not write the second language paper in NIOS - it is advised that they join other course with Alliance Franchise when they complete 10th standard. This will help them to join any college other than professional colleges, which have a second language requirement.
