What is The profile of a NIOS Learner?

The NIOS main goal is to have an embracive and dynamic learning society .The NIOS is constantly striving to make efforts to reach out the marginalized groups such as school dropouts, girls and women, scheduled cast and scheduled tribes, ex-servicemen, differently able learners, and attract large number of students from all over the country. This makes it all the more important to make a student profile to get an exact number of student under a particular category and also other important data for each category.

All along the number of male students has been higher than that of female students. Rather than attributing this disparity to the functioning or the offerings of NIOS, it has a better and convincing explanation in the general national/Indian scenario, wherein the level of female participation in education is much lower than that of their male counterparts. Interestingly, however, the male-female ratio (68:32) at NIOS has remained stable since 2003 for four consecutive years. From the Indian viewpoint, it is a positive development that women’s enrolment is showing consistency and that NIOS board is making visible contributions in resolving the issue of access and equity at the secondary level of education, though the participation of girls and women has yet to reach a level that corresponds favourably with the national male-female literacy ratio169—75 per cent: 58 per cent.

Nearly 80 per cent of the students at NIOS belong to the general category comprising the rural and the urban youth. About 20 per cent of the students enrolled belong to scheduled castes and tribes, which is close to the percentage of seats officially reserved for them. It goes to the credit of NIOS that it attracts a reasonable percentage of students from these two categories, as the percentage participation of these two categories of students in other educational institutions in the country remains a sore issue in the context of equity in the national provision for education
