I think that the problem may be that the NFHS education questions do not follow the DHS standard in that there are no questions about the level of education in NFHS surveys. The only education questions are "What is the highest grade you completed?" (Not the highest grade completed at that level, since there are no levels). I'm not sure how the NFHS-5 variables are created from the available education questions, but they were probably based on the highest grade completed, with decisions being made about what level that grade might reflect.
