How to Check NIOS Result 2026 Online — Step by Step

You have four methods to check your result. All work from the UAE — no India visit or VPN required.

Method 1: Official NIOS Results Portal (Recommended)

1. Open your browser and go to results.nios.ac.in
2. Select “Public Examination Result”
3. Choose your class — Secondary (Class 10) or Sr. Secondary (Class 12)
4. Enter your 12-digit enrollment number (printed on your admit card)
5. Enter the captcha code shown on screen
6. Click Submit
7. Your result appears on screen — download and save a copy immediately

You need: Your 12-digit enrollment number and a stable internet connection.

Method 2: NIOS Main Website

• Go to nios.ac.in
• Navigate to Examination / Result section
• Click on Public Examination Result
• Follow the same steps as Method 1

Method 3: SMS (Useful When the Portal Is Slow)

During peak traffic after result declaration, the website can be slow. SMS is a reliable backup:

• For Class 10: Type NIOS10<enrollment number> — send to 5676760
• For Class 12: Type NIOS12<enrollment number> — send to 5676760

Example: If your enrollment number is 123456789012, type NIOS12123456789012 and send to 5676760.

Note for UAE students: SMS from a UAE number (+971) to an Indian shortcode (5676760) may not work. Use the online portal or DigiLocker instead if SMS fails.

Method 4: DigiLocker

DigiLocker gives you a verified digital copy of your marksheet accepted by educational institutions and employers:

1. Go to digilocker.gov.in
2. Log in or register with your Aadhaar or mobile number
3. Search for NIOS under education documents
4. Download your digital marksheet

Benefits of DigiLocker:

• Instant access to verified documents
