		<description><![CDATA[NIOS follows learner centric approach of teaching through Open and Distance 
mode. It offers a wide range of subjects in comparision to any other formal 
school. The learners are free to choose subject combination as per their needs 
and goals. The learners study at their own pace from specially designed self-instructional 
materials. This learning is supplemented by audio-video and face to face contact 
classes which are held at the study centres on holidays and weekends. The learners 
have freedom to appear in examination in their subjects one by one as per their 
preparation. There is a provision of credit accumulation. The registration of 
the learners is valid for the period of five years.
