Third Level Basic (Primary and Lower Secondary) Teacher Exam (Open and Competitive)
The Government of Nepal Teachers Service Commission conducts Open and Competitive Examinations to select third-level Basic (Primary and Lower Secondary) Teachers.
The selection exam is done according to the revised curriculum implemented on 2076/11/01. The syllabus for the lower secondary and primary levels is the same, but the examination will be held differently.
Written Examination: Full Marks 200
The Third Level of Basic (Lower Secondary and Primary) Teacher Written Examination is a comprehensive assessment designed to evaluate prospective teachers' competency. The exam is divided into two main sections: the General Examination and the Subject Examination, each with a total of 100, culminating in 200 marks.
To ensure fairness and up-to-date knowledge, any amendments or additions to the syllabus that took effect three months before this exam should be considered included in this exam syllabus.
General Examination (100 Marks)
The General Examination is common for all subjects. It consists of 50 multiple-choice questions, and applicants should secure 50 marks to pass it.
Candidates are given 1 hour to complete the objective/multiple-choice portion, where accuracy is crucial as 20% of the total marks will be deducted for each incorrect answer.
Subject-Wise Examination (100 marks)
The second paper, focused on subject-related content, is worth 100 marks and consists of 10 long answer questions, each valued at 10 marks. The examination has a total duration of 3 hours.
A separate answer sheet for the subject-specific questions provides a clear and organized response format. A minimum of 50% aggregate marks is required to pass the general examination.
