“The Delhi government has taken NIOS as an option for our students in some schools. They have study centers spread across different parts of the country that function as in-person support classes.

“In 2021, they have decided to offer this study support alongside through the online mode as well without removing its in-person study centers,” the Delhi government said in a statement.
