Students wishing to write national examinations are supposed to register their names with any approved MANEB examination center of their convenience. MANEB does not directly register candidates.
MANEB sets the registration period, which is usually the first term of an academic year. Prospective candidates are required to register during this stated period, as MANEB does not entertain registration outside the required period.
Complete registration requires that a candidate register for and pay subject fees, entry fee, administration fee, form fee (for externals only), center fee, and identity card processing fees.
Primary school students from public schools are exempted from these fees except for the identity card processing fee. However, primary school pupils from private institutions are required to pay all the fees as stated above.
The prospective candidates are registered at approved examination centers by a teacher designated by the centre to register the students. The designated teacher is given a username and password by MANEB, which he/she uses for accessing the registration portal .
The registration process is as follows :
1. The student provides his/her correct details, such as names, date of birth, and choice of subjects (for JCE and MSCE examinations), to the designated teacher
2. The student verifies the correctness of the details, and if there are any corrections to be made, the teacher is requested to correct them.
3. The system generates an invoice that shows the student’s name, photo, choice of subjects, amount of money to pay as examination fees, and invoice number for examination fees payment. Student should reverify correctness of the details
4. The student is given the invoice by the teacher for payment of examination fees.
Examination fees are paid directly to MANEB through e-payment platforms by guardians or students themselves and not through school teachers nor any school authorities. The fees should be paid only after a student has verified the correctness of his/her details since corrections cannot be done after payment of the examination fees.
Once a student has paid examination fees, the portal at his/her center will reflect that he/she is a paid candidate.
