Nagaland Board has concluded Class 8 and 9 phase 1 and 2 exams. To be declared pass, students should secure minimum passing marks in aggregate.
NEW DELHI: The Nagaland Board of School Education (NBSE) has announced that there will be no mid-term exams for Classes 8 and 9 from the academic year 2024 onwards. The board has already conducted phase 1 and phase 2 exams for both the classes in September and December 2023.
The decision to cancel the mid-term exams for NBSE Class 8 and 9 was taken to gain more teaching days and in order to shift towards a semester structured pattern of secondary education as envisioned in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
As per the changes introduced, students should secure the minimum qualifying marks or grades in aggregate, when phase 1 and 2 taken together, to be promoted to the next higher class.
“All institutions are to enter the marks in the PCR (Pupil Cumulative Record) as follows: Phase-I marks in the First Evaluation Column; phase-Il marks in the second Evaluation column and the consolidated marks of the Phase-I & II shall be entered in the Third Evaluation column,” the board said.
