The Nagaland Board of School Education has notified for information of all concerned that with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 laying special emphasis on transforming assessment for optimizing learning and developing the competency of the learner, the Board is taking steps to reform the Examinations. The Examinations will prioritize the basic learning outcomes and tests the core capacities/competencies, along with higher-order skills and application of knowledge in real-life situations.
As a consequence, the Board has revised the Question Paper Designs for all subjects for both Secondary and Higher Secondary Levels. Sample Question Papers based on the New Designs have been developed, which shall be effective from Class IX Phase I & II Examinations 2023, HSLC Examination 2024, and Class XI Promotion & HSSLC Examinations 2024 for all subjects.
All schools registered with the Board have been directed to strictly follow the design and align the classroom teaching and assessments accordingly. The New Designs should be implemented from the Mid-Term Examinations 2023.
The following booklets are made available in the NBSE portal www.nbsenl.edu.in :
- Question Paper Designs and Sample Question Papers for Secondary Level and
- Question Paper Designs and Sample Question Papers for Higher Secondary Level.
Hard copies of the booklets will be available in the Board’s Office by the second week of May 2023.
Therefore, all Heads of Institutions have been requested to take note of the changes and instruct their teachers and students to make use of the resources given.
