The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) has warned students and parents about 32 fake websites and mobile apps that mimic the official NIOS website. These fraudulent platforms provide misleading information and copy content from the original website. NIOS has urged users to report any such websites or apps and clarified that official NIOS information is only available on their official website. NIOS is an autonomous institution that offers educational opportunities to all, providing a variety of courses at different levels and a flexible study system.
