What is this?

Firstly this ONLY FOR PE students. You can whether your AI (Study Center) has entered the practical marks or not. "Marks Awarded" "Marks not awarded" NOT ANY NUMBERS. It takes 1-2 weeks to update. I know it's kinda pointless.

How to check it?

Step 1 Go to https://exams.nios.ac.in/auth/view-student-formative-assessment (Ignore what is written on the URL)

Step 2 Enter your enrollment number and DOB and chose “summative assessment”

Step 3 View it!

Here's example of how it looks:

The marks will show on the marksheet:
