Institutions offering Ten Plus Two (+2) Science

Currently, 915 institutions offer Ten Plus Two (+2) Science under National Examinations Board in Nepal with 196 of them offering in Kathmandu district.

Ten Plus Two Science is designed for students who wish to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Medicine, and related disciplines. This program provides eligibility and academic preparation for higher studies in both applied and pure sciences.

The curriculum offers a strong foundation in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics, enabling students to understand scientific concepts in depth and apply them in real-life problem solving.

The program is generally categorized into three major groups:

Biology Group

Designed for students interested in Medicine and life sciences. It is the preferred pathway for careers in MBBS, BDS, B.Sc Nursing, BPH, Pharmacy, Medical Microbiology, MLT, and related health science fields.

Physical Group

Suitable for students aiming for the Engineering and Physical Science disciplines. It builds strong foundations in Physics and Mathematics, preparing students for various engineering programs.

Computer Group

Designed for students interested in Computer Science, Information Technology, programming, and digital technologies. It prepares students for careers in software development, IT engineering, and computing fields.

The program integrates theoretical knowledge with conceptual clarity, enabling students to pursue competitive higher education in Nepal and abroad.

Salient Features

  • Strong foundation in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics
  • Prepares students for medicine, engineering, IT, and science-based careers
  • Develops analytical thinking and problem-solving skills
  • Suitable for both national and international higher education opportunities
  • Considered the most versatile academic stream after SEE

Eligibility

Students who have successfully completed Grade 10 (SEE or equivalent) are eligible to apply for admission in Grade 11 (+2 Science).

As per the National Curriculum Development and Evaluation Council decision (2079/05/19), students must have secured a minimum average GPA of 1.6 in the Secondary Education Examination (SEE) to be eligible for enrollment in Grade 11.

Job Prospects

The Ten Plus Two (+2) Science program is primarily a foundation for higher education rather than immediate employment. After completion, students gain eligibility to pursue a wide range of undergraduate programs in science, technology, management, and law-related fields, depending on their interests and academic goals.

While +2 Science is not directly designed for job placement, students may engage in part-time academic support roles such as tutoring school-level students in Mathematics or Science.

Graduates are also eligible to appear in various competitive examinations conducted by the Public Service Commission (Lok Sewa Aayog), including assistant-level positions such as Subba and other administrative roles, subject to eligibility criteria.

Most students continue their studies in specialized fields. Some of the major academic pathways include:

Medical and Health Sciences

Students specializing in Biology often pursue careers in medicine and health sciences. Popular study options include:

  • MBBS (Medicine)
  • BDS (Dentistry)
  • B.Sc Nursing
  • BPH (Public Health)
  • B.Sc MLT (Medical Laboratory Technology)
  • BMIT (Biomedical Informatics Technology)
  • Pharmacy and Medical Microbiology programs

Institutions such as Tribhuvan University (TU), Kathmandu University (KU), BPKIHS, and Patan Academy of Health Sciences offer various medical and health-related programs.

Engineering

Engineering remains one of the most popular career paths after +2 Science. Major study options include:

  • Civil Engineering
  • Computer Engineering
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Electronics and Communication Engineering
  • Geomatics Engineering
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Information Technology

Universities such as TU, KU, PU, and Pokhara University offer these programs.

Computer and Information Technology

Students can pursue rapidly growing IT fields such as:

  • BSc CSIT
  • BE IT
  • BIT
  • BCA
  • Software Engineering

These programs prepare students for careers in software development, networking, cybersecurity, and data systems.

Pure and Applied Sciences

Students interested in research and academics can pursue specialization in:
Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, Microbiology, Statistics, and related scientific fields.

Management and Other Fields

Students from +2 Science background can also shift to Management and Humanities disciplines. Available options include:

  • BBA
  • BHM
  • BTTM
  • BBA-BI
  • BBS

This flexibility allows students to explore multiple academic and professional pathways.

Law and Humanities

Students who wish to shift their academic direction can also pursue a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws (BALLB) after completing +2 Science, subject to university admission requirements. This pathway leads to careers in legal practice, judiciary services, corporate law, and public policy.

In addition, students may also choose programs such as:

  • BA (Humanities and Social Sciences)
  • Social Work
  • Political Science
  • International Relations

Curricular Structure

Curriculum Development Center has recently unveiled the new curriculum for class 11 and 12. The new curriculum has eliminated the system of particular stream-based education like Ten Plus Two Science, Management, Humanities, and so on.
