NIOS has developed several means and strategies to help the learners to learn well and be successful. TMA is one such tool which plays a very important role in the learning process through Open and Distance Learning (ODL) System. TMAs help learners to know their progress and attainment level and develop regular study habits. They also help in designing diagnostic and remedial teaching strategy during Personal Contact Programmes (PCPs).

The subject tutors at the AIs will correct the assignments and provide you feedback and suggestions for improvement.
