With the formation of NEB after the 8th amendment to the education act 2073, several changes have been made to the Examination System. Prior to that HSEB had the sole responsibility of affiliating, and permitting schools to run the then Higher Secondary programs, curriculum and course book designing and examining the students. Now separate government bodies are responsible for examining the students, curriculum and textbook development and other administrative assistance.

There used to be two board examinations: first at the end of grade XI and second at the end of grade XII. Students having appeared in the board examination of grade XI were allowed to go to class XII and continue their studies. At the end of class XII, they were accredited with a transcript including the marks /grades obtained by the students in both the classes side by side.

After the formation of NEB and implementation of the Examination Directives 2077, NEB evaluates students through a nation-wide board examination at the end of grade XII only and only the grades obtained in that examination are included in the grade -sheet made available to the students.

Grade XI examinations are to be conducted by the concerned schools as per the Directives of NEB. The Annual Examination grade-sheets (as specified) made available to the students by concerned schools are necessary for a student to be able to fill up the board examination form of grade XII.

Grade XI and XII Examinations at NHI’s College

Adhering to the principles, philosophy, doctrine and the Jesuit tradition of educational excellence and examination, we always emphasize upon the validity, reliability and objectivity of examinations whether it is a formative or a summative one.

As stated in the Curriculum and the related Directives both Formative and Summative Evaluations of grade XI students and Formative Evaluations of Grade XII are duly conducted.

It is mandatory for all students to appear in all the examinations as notified by the college. Mentioned attendance is compulsory for any student to appear in any of the examinations.

Formative Evaluation include:

1. Unit Tests
2. Terminal Examinations
3. Practical examinations following each terminal examination

Clarification:

Internal evaluation and/or practical evaluation is duly made following the parameters and weight as stated in the Curriculum /Examination directives on a regular and timely basis. Students concerned are allowed to go through their marked answer sheets/ projects or worksheets of all formative examinations. Concerned departments manage necessary remedial measures after each formative evaluation.

For summative evaluations conducted by the college, students are given chances for Grade Improvement tests on the basis of the guidelines of NEB regarding Grade Improvement tests.

Examinations are duly executed and recorded by the Office of the Controller of Examinations, a special examining body in the College.

Grade-sheets:

Grade-sheets of the students are prepared in the format and layout and on the basis of the Letter Grading system introduced by NEB for each of the Terminal Examinations and they are made available to students/ parents. The college invites them to collect grade sheets and to discuss the progress of their wards with teachers and concerned authorities.

We do not approve person-to-person comparison on the basis of the grades that the students obtain.
