Step 1: Enrollment with NIOS

The child can enroll in NIOS under his mainstream school or as a ward of BRIGHT Special School. Our NIOS team helps the child/his parents with the enrollment procedure.

Step 2: Choosing Subjects

NIOS offers a list of subjects for secondary education, senior secondary, open-book education (elementary-level), and others. Amongst the given choices, the child has to pick five subjects. For this selection, our panel assesses the child’s academic ability to choose suitable subjects for easier learning. In addition, we would also suggest the top subjects that are easier to understand, have good market value, and others.

For instance, ‘Data Entry Operations’ has a better market value than Indian Culture and Heritage or Home Science. However, if the ward is interested in hotel management, catering, or others, Home Science would be an excellent choice.

Step 3: Getting ready for the exam

There is very little that BRIGHT can do regarding the syllabus, as the NIOS has sole control over it. The NIOS delivers the course materials. Once you have chosen the subjects, BRIGHT will assign special educators based on your choice of subjects. No matter which subjects you choose, from Folk Art to Hindustani Music, we will assign certified and experienced trainers.

If such a trainer is unavailable in-house, we have a long list of freelance trainers, and part-time special educators specialized in some rare subject choices. One will be arranged for you as early as possible. 

Step 4: Training process

We do not recommend the general blackboard classroom training. Instead, we take a practical approach and offer an in-depth understanding of each concept. We have resource materials like last year’s question papers, patterns, and guide materials. We usually set a target of two or three years for a child to train and prepare for the board exams. However, the timeline and goals would differ based on the child.

Step 5: Exam enrollment

Most children write the exams in batches, making it easier to focus on a couple of subjects each year. We help them register for the exams, guide them through exam etiquette, give simple tips for better scoring, and more. If cards are not in favor and the child has to repeat the exam, we would enroll them in the next batch or for the next year, based on the level of re-training required. Once the child is prepared and ready for the examination, we can also opt for the on-demand examination.

Step 6: Counseling for the next step

Once the child receives his 10th or 12th certificate, the NIOS process ends. The next step in most cases is to go for any job skill training and placement. Some prefer to complete their 12th and go for a college education. Our counseling team helps the child and their parents to choose the right path. We also have resources regarding the right colleges, job areas, and others where the child could easily find employment.

After all, with employment comes ultimate independence, which is what every parent strives towards.
