    Guardians give HSEB three days to publish results


    Bhaktapur:Guardians today served a three-day ultimatum to the Higher Secondary Education Board to publish the results of Grade XII exams held on May.

    They have warned of stern protest if the board failed to publish the results within three days.

    The guardians had picketed the HSEB office yesterday to exert pressure on officials to publish results at the earliest, saying their wards could miss application deadlines due to delay in the results.

    Suprabhat Bhandari, president of Guardians Association Nepal, said, “The students have already missed entrance exams at various places due to delay in results. We have therefore asked HSEB officials to announce the results within three days.” He said delay in results could lead to loss of an academic year for students as many universities have already started classes for bachelor’s level.

    “The Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University, has already conducted the entrance exam for Bachelor’s in Engineering and Bachelor’s of Architecture and published their results while the entrance exam of MBBS is scheduled for August 31,” he added. He added that the HSEB had been delaying results for the last three years and that it should publicly apologise to the students.

    As per rules, the HSEB should publish results within 90 days of exam, but the board has been overshooting the deadline for the last three years.

    Narayan Koirala, Spokesperson of the HSEB, said that they were going to publish Grade XII results before August 28.

    “We are working round-the-clock to publish the results,” said Koirala.

    Making a career in Pharmacy


    SUPRASANNA ARYAL
     “I had always been interested in learning about medicines so I decided to pursue the pharmacy course,” shares Barsha Shakya, who completed her Bachelor’s in Pharmacy (BPharm) from National Model College of Advanced Learning (NMCAL) in Naya Bazaar a few months ago.

    While pursuing the four-year course, she got to learn about many things she was curious about. “Effects of various types of drugs on human body, process of making of tablets and capsules and herbal medicines among others were the most interesting things I learned in my college,” she reminisces.

    Sharing about the scope of learning pharmacy, Prajwal Jung Pandey, Head of Marketing of LUMOS Pharmaceuticals, informs that after pursuing a formal education on pharmacy, individuals have many choices regarding their career.

    Having completed her postgraduate degree in Pharmacy from Kathmandu University, he observes, “After pursuing a pharmacy course, one can get involved in research labs, drug industries, hospital pharmacy, community pharmacy or government/non-government organizations.” He adds that the subject has wide scopes abroad, too.Barsha, who is currently working as the Pharmacy In-charge at Annapurna Neuro Hospital in Maitighar says that her job is as interesting as was her studies. “We’re required to supply medicines to the patients of the hospitals and keep record of the same for future references,” she shares. She also has to provide counseling to the patients regarding the use of drugs, their timings, doses and side effects.

    Likewise, Prabin Shrestha, after completing a three-year diploma course in Pharmacy from Nepal Institute of Health Sciences (NIHS) in Boudha, started working as a pharmacist in the shop ‘Pawan Pharma’ located in Paknajole.

    “Many patients come to us with their problems before going to a doctor or a hospital,” he shares, adding, “We prescribe a medicine if the ailment is minor and curable. If the case is a serious one, we suggest the patient to go to a doctor first.” Prabin says that pharmacists need to feel responsible toward the quality of the medicines they supply.

    Besides giving consultation on the drug use and supplying medicines, his pharmacy also provides basic services like Blood Pressure testing and vaccination of tetanus, rabies and hepatitis.

    Adding to what Prajwal said about the scope of studying pharmacy, Prabin shares that individuals also can pursue the career of Medical Representative (MR) and maintain good PR with many people in the field. “If one is passionate about sharing the knowledge in formal institutes, one can opt for teaching, too,” he points out.

    When it comes to significance of learning pharmacy, Prajwal emphasizes that pharmacists play a major role in creating awareness about the proper use of drugs.

    “After years of theoretical studying, and having come across many ailment cases on a daily basis, pharmacists have ample knowledge about various drugs and their uses,” he says. In a country like Nepal, where doctors are still scarce and not readily available, pharmacists can aid patients in need by suggesting them the right course of medication that could even save their lives.

    “In many western countries, pharmacists also perform many clinical practices as doctors do, and this trend is slowly increasing in Nepal, too,” he observes, suggesting that this is a great achievement. If better technical assistance and more advanced theoretical knowledge are incorporated in pharmacy courses, pharmacists can help improve the health status of the country, he concludes.

    HSEB Exam Results 2071 2014 Science, Management: Guardians picket HSEB demanding early results

    BHAKTAPUR: Guardians of Grade XII students today picketed the office of the Higher Secondary Education Board demanding that the board publish the results of Grade XII exams at the earliest.

    Suprabhat Bhandari, president, Guardians Association Nepal, said that delay by HSEB to publish Grade XII results could result in loss of a year for students, as many universities within the country and abroad have already started classes for bachelor’s level.

    The Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University, has already conducted entrance exams for Bachelor’s in Engineering and Bachelor’s of Architecture.

    “Calendars followed by universities are not in sync,” he said. “Students have to suffer due to lack of coordination between government bodies and universities.”

    As per existing rules, the HSEB should publish results within 90 days of exam, but this time the board has overshot the deadline. Grade XII exams were held on May 2 this year, going by which the results should have been out by the second week of August.

    Uttam Dev Bista, Deputy Controller, HSEB, said the board was planning to publish results within a week. He attributed the delay to ‘some technical glitches’.

    “Last year results were published by the end of Shrawan (mid-August), but this year results got delayed for various reasons including a strike by examiners,” said Bista.

    According to Bista, results of science stream will be published first and results of other streams will be published accordingly.

    Guardians have said that the will continue to picket the HSEB office to press officials to publish the results at the earliest.

    Preparing for English language proficiency tests

    "Preparation centers are convenient, but self-preparation is good enough, too"

    Prabhash Rai, 20, who’s currently studying English Literature at University of Cambridge in the UK, reminisces that he took his IELTS (International English Language Testing System) four years ago. Since he wasn’t much aware of the institutes that offered preparation classes for the test during that time, he prepared on his own. “I had some books and a CD as the only materials to go through,” he recalls. Preparing for the test on his own helped him get a good score, he believes.

    At present, there are a lot of institutes and preparation centers providing classes for the tests in Kathmandu. Sajina Bhandari, 24, felt that it would be easier if she joined one of these institutes for her GRE (Graduate Record Examinations) preparation. She’s completed her Bachelor’s degree and aspires to go to the US for further studies.

    She chose Collins International Education in Putalisadak for the three-month long GRE course. “Before joining the classes, I had zero idea on how to prepare for GRE,” she says. Even though she had all the study materials required from a senior in college, she was totally clueless when she sat down for preparations, she shares.“At the institute, the instructors made us well acquainted with the questions patterns of the test and also gave us extra study materials for reference. This made the preparation very convenient,” she says.

    Sajina also shares that since she joined the classes with her classmates from college, it was easier for her to discuss and practice with friends.

    Sharing about the significance of preparation classes for students to appear the language proficiency tests, Navin Adhikari, English instructor to students preparing for GRE at Abhiyan Tourism and Hotel Management Training Center in Lalitpur, says, “Even though many institutes charge a large amount to students for the preparation classes, it’s totally worth it in the end.”

    Preparing at an institute saves time, he suggests. “It may take four to five months for a student to complete their preparation if they do it on their own, but if they seek help from an institute, they’ll be able to finish it in around two months,” he calculates.

    He adds that since the learning technique at institutes is standardized, students can learn only what’s important for the tests. Students preparing on their own usually go for a detailed study, which is not really necessary, he observes.

    “Group studies is very common among students who come to preparation classes with their friends. This makes learning fun and they learn faster, compared to those who prepare on their own,” he says.

    Prabhat Shrestha, 21, who took TOEFL (Test Of English as a Foreign Language) and SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) before leaving for Israel for his higher studies three years ago, prepared for the tests on his own. He went through the sample tests and practice tests on the internet and managed to get good scores.

    “If you’re good at English and are acquainted to managing time during timed tests, you can definitely prepare on your own,” he says. But if one wants to better oneself in English from the foundation itself, institutes can be of great help, he adds.

    Agreeing to Prabhat’s opinion is Bikesh Shrestha, the officer at British Council in Lainchaur. “If a candidate feels that s/he is good at English, s/he can easily appear the tests after some self-preparation,” he says.

    He also informs that at British Council, there’s a learning center where candidates can take a membership and come for self-study. The center provides the candidates with study materials and they can also buy them if they want, he says.

    “Monthly workshops on IELTS are conducted where students can learn about what IELTS is all about and the most appropriate ways of preparing for the same,” he informs.

    Along with that, British Council also organizes mock tests twice a month so that candidates can check their proficiency level and improve on the same, Bikesh concludes.

    Internship for firsthand experience of the workplace


    As the job market gets more and more competitive, it’s a plus point for college students to have a professional experience in their chosen field of work. Internship is one way of getting this experience.

    Internship is a part of the curriculum in most colleges, especially in the undergraduate level. It not only helps students get firsthand experience of the workplace, but also helps them network with professionals in the field. It also makes good impression in one’s CV, especially when one is fresh in the job market.

    “In our sixth semester, we’re required to do an eight-week long internship,” shares Smriti Pradhan, 21, who will be joining one shortly. She along with her two friends will soon be starting their internship at House of Rajkarnicar.Studying Bachelor of Business Administration – Banking and Insurance (BBA-BI) at Ace Institute of Management in New Baneshwar, Smriti also has experiences of managing various events held at college and her internship will be on similar grounds.

    “We’ll have to help the team in marketing, record keeping, financial analysis and coordinating with their clients during their events,” she explains, confidently adding, “Since we have experiences as well as academic knowledge about the same, we believe we’ll have little difficulty in performing the tasks.”

    Smriti’s is a paid internship. “On the last day of the placement, we’ll be receiving our remuneration. Since it will be my very first earning, I’m very excited for the internship,” she quips.

    Likewise, Savita Dhungana, 25, a postgraduate student of Botany at Tribhuvan University has been interning at Annapurna Neuro Hospital in Maitighar. Her work there is related with plant tissue culture and molecular analysis, which also happens to be the subject of her thesis.

    “The equipments used at the hospital are well maintained and much advanced than that available at our college, so I’ve been learning a lot from the internship,” says Savita, who only goes to the hospital when she needs to use the equipments. “As the internship doesn’t require me to go to work on a regular basis, I have more time for studying,” she says.

    An undergraduate student of Dental Surgery at BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences in Dharan, 25-year-old Anuja Bajracharya is also currently doing her internship. They are required to intern at different government hospitals for a year.

    Unlike what Savita experienced, the equipments are better off at Anuja’s college than the hospital she’s been interning at. This has made working more difficult, she observes. “But the plus point is, while working in rural areas, we get to deal with different cases and practically learn a lot more than in college,” she says.

    Similarly, Nutan Ojha, 22, shares her experiences of interning at KIST Bank’s branch at Koteshwar, which was a requirement for the completion of her BBA course.

    “The two-month long internship was really fruitful,” she reminisces, adding, “I was assigned to work in three different departments—customer service, marketing and operations. I got to experience the work environment firsthand and that boosted my confidence. I also learned how to deal with people.”

    Nutan, currently in the process of joining MBA classes, says that the internship has greatly assisted in preparing herself for the workplace. “I want to make a career in banking, and thanks to the internship, I now have the experience and the perspective. Without internship, my BBA degree alone wouldn’t have had much significance,” she concludes.

    New Loadshedding Schedule (9 August 2014/ 24 Shrawan 2071)- Nepal Electricity Authority NEA


    Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), the power monopoly in the country, has decided to increase power outage hours to 60 hours a week effective from Saturday.

    The NEA has decided to increase the loadshedding hours owing to the landslide that damaged the dam of Sunkoshi Hydropower Station.

    According to the NEA, the landslide that struck Jure village in Sindhupalchok obstructed the supply of around 67-megawatt of electricity.

    Earlier on July 4, the NEA had slashed the loadshedding hours to 47 hours from 56.

    Being skilled and saleable-With technical and vocational courses at CTEVT


    Many students excelled in their SLC examinations, and are thus pursuing courses of their choice for higher education in some good colleges. But not all students are good in academics — some may perform well in technical aspects if imparted with proper skill. In order to address the need of such students, the Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT) in Sanothimi is in operation. The national autonomous apex body of technical and vocational education and training has been producing technical and skilled human resources since its establishment in 1989. The courses at CTEVT are for anyone with the desire for attaining skills — whether you have just passed the Test examinaiton (of SLC) or have not attened school.

    What to study?
    There are a total of 195 technical colleges and institutes affiliated to CTEVT, eight annex schools and two rural training centres across the nation running various courses, as per Saurav Ram Joshi, Spokesperson/Director Research and Information of CTEVT.

    These courses are divided into three categories — short-term vocational and skill training, Technical School Leaving Certificate (TSLC) and proficiency/diploma level.

    One can choose the course depending upon the eligibility criteria in each category. Whichever course you opt for “you will either become self-employed or can get a job immediately after completing the course”, as per Ram Hari Lamichanne, Member Secreatary of CTEVT.

    Professional skills in short time
    The short-term vocational and skill training is the right course for anyone interested in learning that particular skill — you do not need to pass a certain academic level for this.

    “This course aims to provide professional and vocational skills to those who are either unable to gain higher education or are interested to attain professional skills for a better career,” informed Lamichanne.

    Under this training, they provide short-term trainings — ranging from 39 hours to 1,500 hours — in the field of agriculture, engineering, health, tourism, management and computers, among others.

    For higher education
    If you wish to pursue higher education after a CTEVT training, then one can opt for Technical Education Provision (that includes TSLC and proficiency/diploma level course).

    Only those who have passed their Test examinations can join the TSLC level — it is a 29-month course. But TSLC is just a 15-month course for those who have passed SLC.

    There are a variety of courses in different fields one can study at TSLC level — agriculture (JTA in Animal Science or Plant Science), engineering or sub-overseer (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic, Automobile, Junior Computer Technician, Air-conditioning and Refrigerator and Sanitary) and health (CMA, ANM, AAHW, Dental Hygienist and Lab Assistant).

    After TSLC, you can join three-year proficiency certificate/diploma level course. But one must score a minimum 68.66 per cent in TSLC or pass the SLC examination in second division to be eligible to join the diploma level.

    “This level offers courses in health, engineering and agriculture,” Joshi informed. In agriculture, one can study ISc Ag Plant Science or Animal Science and Diploma in Food and Dairy Technology.

    You can do Diploma in Engineering in various sectors (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic, Survey, Computer, Information Technology and Architecture).

    The Health/Medical Science has Proficiency Certificate Level (PCL) in General Medicine, Nursing, Medical Lab Technology, Radiography, Ayurvedic Science along with Diploma in Pharmacy, Dental Science and Ophthalmic Science.

    Bipin Kumar Yadav, Diploma in Civil Engineering VIth Semester student at Kathmandu Institute of Technology (KIT), Tokha Road expressed, “I did not have enough percentage in my SLC examinations which would prevent me from being enrolled in an engineering course offered by the Tribhuvan University. So, studying the course of CTEVT at KIT has become an advantage for me.”

    Ready to work
    The courses of CTEVT are designed to make students “ready for employment” as per Joshi. “As CTEVT courses are skill-based, students have a higher chance of being employed soon after completing the course in the present competitive job market. Or they can also generate employment opportunities on their own,” he further claimed.

    As CTEVT is the recognised centre at international level, its graduates have good opportunities in the international job market as well, Joshi further added.

    Sunil Chalise, MD of KIT added, “The students who are unable to purse their higher education due to financial problems are able to work part time utilising the skills they gained at CTEVT and complete their education.”

    Hurdles that need to cleared
    The courses of CTEVT are more practical based so as to make the students skilled. But the students are unable to get involved in the practical activities as demanded by the course, as per Sugandh Thapa, Principal, Hospital for Advance Medicine and Surgery (HAMS).

    Revealing the existing challenge at PCL Nursing, Thapa stated, “We do not have our own hospital to do practials for nursing students. But they need extensive exposure to patients so as to be experienced.” As such these students are taken to government hospitals for practical sessions. However, the expensive charges for practicals in hospitals have been a headache for them, said Thapa.

    Yadav feels there is no proper monitoring of CTEVT institues — especially about irregularities during the engineering exams and facilities required by Nursing students to pursue their education.

    “As the students do not get required facilities, they lag behind. Due to this, the Nursing students of TU are more prioritised than CTEVT students,” he argued.

    But being sellable in the market also depends upon the students’ capacity as per Anisha Ranapal, PCL Nursing IInd Year student at HAMS. She argued, “One needs to understand that competition is fierce in the market and one should prepare oneself accordinlgy.”

    People also do not have knoweldge about the courses available at CTEVT and there is no provision to make them aware about the same, as per Chalise. “There is also a misconception that one cannot opt for higer education after doing a course at CTEVT.”
