Students failing SLC can sit for CTEVT test


BHAKTAPUR: At a time when technical education has gained in popularity, the Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT) recently endorsed a provision to allow even School Leaving Certificate (SLC) failed students to sit in the entrance examination to take up such courses for higher education.

CTEVT has offered this golden opportunity to students who have failed in only two subjects and had appeared in the SLC chance exam. Students must pass the chance exam to enroll in certain institutions for studies.

The entrance exam is going to be held on July 25 and 26 while the chance exam is going to be held from August 5.

Dr Ram Hari Lamichhane, member-secretary of CTEVT, informed that they had offered diploma courses in agriculture, animal rearing, construction, health and other technical subjects. He said CTEVT has been planning to keep display bars at various public places which will make the youths aware about skills. He informed that the display bar will be kept at Tribhuvan International Airport, Department of Foreign Employment, Passport Department and Ratnapark. “Such public display will help students, public and others concerned ,” he added.

Currently, around 1,700 youths leave for foreign employment every day. Out of this total, two per cent are skilled, 24 per cent are less skilled and 72 per cent are unskilled. CTEVT has also been planning to introduce a special scholarship programme for unprivileged girls and Dalit and minority community students.

Yesterday, in the budget speech for the new fiscal, the government announced it would be launching technical education in 240 constituencies. It has also allocated budget to construct buildings for 13 poly-technics in various parts of the country to promote technical and vocational education for youths.

Pre-Departure Briefing to Australia


Once you have been accepted to study at an institution and have received confirmation of your student visa, the next step is to start planning for your arrival.


Here is a checklist to help you plan your departure:

Passport and Visa – Check that your passport is valid for at least 6 months prior to your entry arrival in Australia, and that you have all your visa documentation. It is also a good idea to make copies of your passport in case you lose your passport.

Student enrolment and orientation documents – You will need your electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE) and student information pack, which you will have received from your institution.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) – This is a requirement for entry to Australia, so make sure you have your health cover policy arranged before you leave home.

Travel Insurance – You should also consider travel insurance, which covers things your OSHC may not – such as cancelled flights, lost documents, dental or optical care, etc.

Airfares – Make sure you are aware of the date and time of your flight. Keep your flight details in a safe and secure place, with your passport and visa.

Contact details – You may want to have a list of emergency contact details for family, as well as your embassy, accommodation and institution details. If you have used an education agent, keep their contact details on you, in case you need to contact them once you arrive in Australia.

Australian currency – There are money exchange places available at Australian airports and in cities, but it is recommended to have some Australian currency on you prior to leaving your home country.

Transport from the airport – Whether you are taking public transport, a taxi, or you are being picked up from the airport by your education provider, it is important that you have all the details including the time, the route and, if your travel has been arranged by your institution, their contact details. If you need a map to assist you in getting to your accommodation from the airport, they will be available at the airport, or you can print one prior to leaving.

Accommodation details – Make sure you have the address of where you will be staying as well as their phone number and payment confirmation (if you have already paid for your accommodation).
