Many people in Kerala left school after 10th to work, look after family or move abroad. Years later, a missing Plus Two certificate can stop a promotion, a government job application or a degree. The good news is that you can finish it as a private student, from home, without going back to school.
This guide explains how it works, how long it takes and what to check before you join.
Who this is for
- Adults who stopped studying after 10th and now need Plus Two
- Workers whose employer asks for Plus Two for a promotion
- People who want to apply for government jobs or exams that ask for Plus Two
- Anyone who wants to join a degree, such as an online BCom, BBA or BA
How private Plus Two works
Instead of attending school, you register with a recognised open schooling board as a private student. You study at home with the board’s study material and sit the board exam at an allotted exam centre. Once you pass, you receive your Plus Two marks and certificate from the board.
Through NeoSkill you can study with two boards:
- BOSSE (Board of Open Schooling and Skill Education), established under the Sikkim BOSSE Act, 2020
- BISE (Bharath Institute of Schooling Education), government registered and a member of COBSE and AIU
Your counsellor will show you the recognition documents for the board you choose before you pay.
How long does it take?
With NeoSkill, you can complete Plus Two in about 6 months from admission to the board exam. See the details on our Plus Two page.
Choosing your stream
- Commerce suits a later BCom, BBA or CA, and office and accounts jobs.
- Science (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics or Biology) suits a BSc or BCA.
- Humanities suits a BA and many competitive exams.
Pick the stream that leads to the degree or job you want next, not just the one that looks easiest.
Step by step
- Talk to a counsellor. Tell us your goal. We check your eligibility and help you choose the stream and board.
- Register with the board. Submit your 10th certificate and ID proof. We help with the forms.
- Study from home. Use the board’s study material at your own pace, around your work.
- Sit the board exam. Write the exam at the allotted centre and receive your certificate once you pass.
Tips for studying while you work
- Set aside a fixed hour each day, even 45 minutes, rather than long weekend sessions.
- Start with the subject you find hardest while you are fresh.
- Practise with previous question papers in the last month before the exam.
- Tell your family your exam dates early, so you get the time you need.
After Plus Two
Once you have your Plus Two, you can go straight on to a degree while you keep working. Universities accept Plus Two from recognised boards for online UG courses such as BCom, BBA, BCA and BA. Your counsellor will check your certificate with the university before you apply.
Frequently asked questions
Can I apply for government jobs with a Plus Two from an open board?
Many jobs and exams ask for Plus Two from a recognised board. Always read the eligibility in the specific notification, and ask your counsellor if you are unsure.
Do I need to attend classes?
No. You study from home and only travel to the exam centre for the exam.
Is BISE genuine?
BISE is a government registered academic body and a member of COBSE and AIU. Ask your counsellor to show you its registration and membership documents before you pay.
