Since polar molecules have a difference of electronegativity of 0.5-1.7 and non-polar molecules have between 0-0.5, with nitrogen monoxide having a difference right in between, the moloecule can be considered a non polar or polar molecule. But if considered a polar molecule it must be noted that the unequal distribution of electrons is extremely slight.

Nitric oxide is polar. This is because oxygen has a higher electronegativity than nitrogen, so the two atoms pull each other unequally and give the ends of the molecule a charge, which makes it a dipole.

It is an ionic compound so it is polar.
