My Mom Had to Stop Studying After 10th Due to Marriage. After 25+ Years, She Wants to Continue.

Hi everyone,
I’m posting on behalf of my mom. She completed only her 10th standard because she got married soon after and couldn’t continue her education.
Now, more than 25 years later, she has expressed a desire to study again. She wants to complete her schooling (11th and 12th ) and, if possible, eventually pursue a BA degree through distance education. I’m really proud of her and want to support her in any way I can.
I’ve been looking into options like NIOS/Open Schooling, but one concern she has is that she’s very shy and nervous about appearing for offline exams at her age. She worries she might feel out of place or embarrassed.
Has anyone here gone through something similar themselves or with a parent? Are there any good distance/open schooling options you would recommend? How was the exam experience for adult learners?
Any advice, experiences, or encouragement would mean a lot. Thank you.
