About Cambridge A Levels

Cambridge Assessment International Education AS and A Levels are internationally benchmarked qualifications that provide exceptional preparation for the commencement of university education.

Delivered at ¾ÅÉ«µ¼º½, Pokhara, the Advanced Level is the ‘gold standard’ of Cambridge International Examination qualifications. They provide students with a qualification equivalent to that granted in the UK, and which is accepted universally as an entry requirement for universities, including those in Nepal.

At TBC, Pokhara we offer highly flexible subject combinations that allow students to choose from a wide range of subjects that suit their interests and aptitudes. Students are expected to take at least four subjects, including the English General Paper (which is compulsory). Students are, however, able to take more than the required credits if they wish, depending on their interests and capabilities.

Studying for the A Levels qualification is rigorous and demands a high academic standard of achievement. For this reason, the A Levels programme demands a multi-dimensional approach, which includes providing evidence of in-depth subject knowledge and understanding; developing an ability to think logically; presenting reasoned explanations; applying theoretical knowledge; and communicating ideas and feelings in a clear and logical manner.

The College is registered with Cambridge Assessment International Education as Centre Number NP and has received approval from the Ministry of Education, Government of Nepal.

Examination System

The AS and A Level final examinations are held twice a year in May/June and October/ November, the results of which are published in August and January respectively.

Grading System

Students are assessed on a grade scale from ‘A*’, which is awarded for the highest level of achievement, to ‘E’, which indicates the minimum required performance to constitute a pass. ‘U’ stands for ungraded which is considered a fail (please refer to the guide below). 

Eligibility for the A Levels

¾ÅÉ«µ¼º½, Pokhara uses a comprehensive evaluation system to select a highly motivated group of students to join the programme. Students must have:

• Taken the SEE/GCSE/CBSE or equivalent exams at the time of admission.
• A sound academic ability to fulfil the rigours of this challenging programme. 
• Taken an exam set by the College prior to entry.
• Attended an interview with their guardian.

Subject Choices & Requirements

Students must study three full subjects as well as the English General Paper throughout the two years of A Level. This is because the standard admission requirement for UK universities is three A Levels.
Students are free to study a range of subjects, as we believe that giving students the power to choose helps to motivate them throughout their studies. Cambridge International AS & A Level are divided into the following subject groups (Please visit www.cambridgeinternational.org for detailed information about the courses):
