Evaluation System

Welcome to the Evaluation page of United Academy (UA).

Here, you will find all relevant information regarding our internal assessments, including class tests, zero-hour tests, term exams, and other evaluation mechanisms, as well as details about the official Grade XI and XII board examinations conducted by the National Examinations Board (NEB).

What is a Certificate of Completion (CoC)?

The Certificate of Completion (CoC) is an official document issued by United Academy to certify that a student has completed the required academic coursework, internal evaluations, and attendance criteria for their respective grade or program.

It serves as a formal acknowledgement that the student has fulfilled all academic responsibilities in accordance with UA’s standards and NEB guidelines.

Purpose of CoC

The Certificate of Completion is provided to students for the following purposes:

To verify completion of the academic year at UA.
To support documentation for admission into higher studies.
To serve as proof of academic completion for institutions requiring confirmation before issuing their own certificates.
To certify internal completion for students awaiting their final NEB board results.

Eligibility for a CoC at United Academy

A student becomes eligible for a CoC upon meeting the following criteria:

Fulfilling the minimum attendance requirement.
Completing all internal assessments (class tests, unit tests, term exams, zero-hour tests).
Meeting behavioural and participation expectations as part of our holistic evaluation.
Clearing all financial and administrative obligations with the academy.

NEB Exams

The National Examinations Board (NEB) conducts the official board examinations for Grades XI and XII across Nepal. As an NEB-affiliated institution, United Academy follows the prescribed curriculum, evaluation standards, and examination procedures to prepare students for these national-level assessments.

UA ensures every student is academically, mentally, and practically prepared to excel in their NEB examinations.

NEB Exam Structure

NEB examinations consist of two major components:

Internal Assessment (25%)
UA conducts multiple internal evaluations throughout the academic year, which contribute directly to the NEB’s internal marking scheme. These include:
- Trimester exams, class tests, and unit tests
- Viva voce, report writing, demonstrations, and classroom competency checks
- Laboratory practicals (s), project work, and mathematical activities
- Attendance, assignments, and classroom participation
These Internal scores are compiled and submitted to the NEB as part of the official final evaluation.
External Assessment (75%)
The NEB Board Exam is the final written examination conducted at the national level. Key features include:
- Held annually according to the NEB’s national schedule.
- Includes subject-wise theory papers, containing both subjective and objective components.
- Uniform question papers are administered nationwide
- Papers are assessed centrally to ensure standardised evaluation.

Term Evaluations at UA

United Academy follows a structured internal evaluation system that includes two major term exams. This system helps track student progress throughout the year while building essential skills for the final NEB board examination.

First Term Examination

The First Term Exam is an early major assessment designed to evaluate students' understanding of the initial units covered in the academic year.

Purpose:

To assess early academic progress,
Identify strengths and areas for improvement,
Prepare students for subsequent unit tests and the Second Term Exam.

Second Term Examination

The Second Term Exam evaluates broader syllabus coverage (typically 60–70%) and prepares students for more comprehensive assessments.

Purpose:

To evaluate academic growth since the first term,
Strengthen exam-writing skills,
Solidify preparation for the NEB Board Exams.

NEB Final Examination

The NEB Final Examination is the official external evaluation conducted nationwide. It carries 75% weightage in the final result and includes theoretical and, where applicable, practical components. The results of this examination determine academic completion and eligibility for progression to higher education.

Together, UA's internal assessments and the final NEB exam create a balanced evaluation process that measures continuous learning while ensuring students are fully prepared for the nationally recognised board examinations.

Zero-Hour Tests

Our "Zero-Hour Tests" are special internal assessments designed to provide students with extra practice and evaluation opportunities outside regular class hours. These tests reinforce learning, facilitate revision before major exams, and offer targeted support.

Zero-Hour Tests may include:

Short quizzes on recent chapters.
Revision tests before Unit Tests, Term Exams, or NEB Mock Exams.
Remedial or re-examination tests for students requiring extra support.

Chapterwise Tests

Chapterwise Tests are targeted assessments conducted immediately after completing each chapter.

Objectives:

Reinforce concept clarity
Ensure continuous study habits
Identify chapter-specific strengths and weaknesses
Prepare students for unit, term, and NEB exams

Mockup Tests

UA conducts extensive mockup tests before the NEB Board Exams.

Purpose of Mockup Tests:

Provide real-exam experience
Develop time-management skills
Build exam confidence
Familiarise students with NEB question patterns

Highlights:

Full-length NEB-style question papers
Conducted under strict exam conditions
Evaluated with NEB-oriented marking guidelines
Detailed performance analysis provided to students

Mockup Tests are one of the strongest pillars of UA’s preparation strategy for national-level examinations.
