What does on-demand exam mean?
The concept of ODE is an important step in open and distance education. The basic concept of on-demand examination is that a student studying in Rajasthan State Open can take the exam whenever he feels ready or comfortable to take the exam. Let us tell you that this system was first started by the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS). NIOS re-launched ODE for secondary level students in the year 2005.
