From the academic year 2024, all NBSE registered and affiliated schools will not be holding midterm examinations for classes 8 and 9, according to a statement released by the Nagaland Board of School Education (NBSE) Kohima.

"The following is hereby notified to all the Registered schools under the Nagaland Board of School Education for information and strict compliance that there will be no mid-term examinations for Classes-VIII and IX from academic session 2024 onwards," reads the notification.

"And in lieu of that, Phase-I and Phase-II Examinations shall be conducted on the dates specified in the academic calendar 2024. This is done to gain more teaching days and in order to shift towards semester structured pattern of secondary education as envisioned in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020," the notification added.

The directive also guides schools to document students' scores in the Pupil Cumulative Record (PCR) utilising a designated format. Marks achieved in Phase-I are to be recorded in the First Evaluation Column, with Phase-II marks being entered in the Second Evaluation Column. Moreover, the cumulative or consolidated marks from both Phase-I and Phase-II assessments are to be noted in the Third Evaluation Column.
