What fee NIOS is getting?

NIOS charges about a 1,000 Rupees from one student and with the facility of fee concession to female and certain other categories of students, it comes out to be Rs. 750 each. Out of these Rs. 250 is given to Accredited Institutions (study centers) for conduct of Personal Contact Programs (PCPs) which are often poorly organized, and we have complained that students do not attend those. As I have already suggested in an important forum, the learning material and Personal Contact Programs should be de-linked from the fee. NIOS shall charge only registration fee of about Rs. 250 from students and the students should then buy other services, if they like. The students will be empowered in this way and will have a control over the services. There may not be any issue of material not reached, or PCPs not conducted.
