Respected Sir/Madam,
Is CBSE and NIOS have same value? Will NIOS affect me in taking admission in B.Arch if I will clear my entrance exam for it?

No, NIOS board and CBSE board aren't equivalent. CBSE board is central board while NIOS board is an open board. CBSE board mark sheet is 100 times more valuable than NIOS. Yes you should face problem in getting admission in the desired college because you must appear in the entrance exam which follows CBSE syllabus, so it’s a little bit difficult for you to score good marks in the exam. It totally depends on you if you are intelligent student than may be you can score good marks.

No, there is no any difference between certificate of both board. As candidates of both the board are eligible to appear for entrance examination conducted for admission in any institutes.

So, candidates passed 10+2 from NIOS are eligible to get admission in B.Arch and even eligible to appear for JEE examination conducted to admission of candidates in IIT, NIT and other institutes.

So, you can pursue 10+2 from NIOS as it is recognised board.

No, there will not be any difficulty as long as you clear the entrance examinations for B.Arch course and do fulfill the marks requirements to pursue the course.

Technically NIOS is not equivalent to CBSE board, as CBSE is a regular mode of education board and NIOS is distance mode, therefore, CBSE boar always has an additional advantage over NIOS, but it doesn't means that NIOS board if of no value.

Yes, it has the same value if you want to go for entrance examination and pursue B.Arch course, you will only have to fulfill the eligibility criteria to sit for the entrance examination and after that it doesn't matter whether you are from CBSE or NIOS board, you just need to score well in your entrance examination and thus can pursue your course.

NIOS and CBSE is yes equivalent, there is no such difference between the both of the boards, the case only differs in priority as CBSE holds an upper hand as compared to NIOS board as CBSE is a regular mode of education and NIOS is distance mode.
