The Society runs the management of the National Open School which, through distance and open learning system, has been offering courses preparing students for the Secondary and Senior Secondary Examinations and also offers Bridge (Preparatory) Courses.
2. It has now been decided that, in pursuance of Section 3(ii) of the Memorandum of Association of the National Open School Society, the Society shall conduct the above examinations at the school stage of education upto pre-degree level, whether academic, technical or vocational, which are developed either by the National Open School itself or in collaboration with other agencies, subject to the approval of the Society's Executive Board or as it may be called upon to conduct by the Government of India, Ministry of Human Resource Development of Education. The Society shall also be the certifying authority for such courses and programmes and do such acts ancillary to these objects as may be necessary. The Central Board of Secondary Education, which was the certifying and examining authority on behalf of the National Open School Society, will cease to be so with effect from the date of issue of this Notification in the Gazette of India.
