Hi everyone,

I’m an Indian student planning to complete my Class 12 through NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English and Arabic.

I’m planning to apply as an international student to Cairo University Faculty of Engineering, specifically Industrial Engineering.

I’ve contacted the Egyptian international-student authorities, and they told me that NIOS would be accepted if it is considered equivalent to an Indian national board.

So I’m trying to confirm this before I commit to NIOS 12th.

Does anyone here know whether:

• NIOS Senior Secondary Certificate is accepted/equated in Egypt?
• Cairo University accepts NIOS for Engineering?
• NIOS is officially considered equivalent to CBSE/other Indian national boards for this purpose?
• There are any additional requirements for NIOS students applying to Engineering?

I’d really appreciate it if anyone who has actually applied to a Egyptian university with an NIOS certificate could share their experience or any official source/document.

Thanks!
