Important update: 

NOTE: This is an update that we bring to our readers last year - we will bring the same update on the 2023 Grade 12 selections list for universities and non-universities. Stay in touch.

• #4 Notes on 2021 Continuing Students TESAS Awards List, why many students names are not on the list published by DHERST.
• #3 For the status updates of PNG universities' acceptance list, click here.
• #2 DHERST has not released the 2021 School Leavers TESAS award list for HEIs. It is not clear why, but we believe the HEIs sent the Students Acceptance Letters out already.
• #1 As predicted in an earlier video (at the end of this article), DHERST has announced that the 2021 Tertiary Selection List will be released on Friday the 8th of January 2021.

2023 PNG Exam Results

2023 PNG Universities DHERST Selection List for all universities and other tertiary institutions should be live after DHERST publish the PDF file online.

The 2023 Grade 12 selection list for PNG tertiary institutions will not be available immediately after the release of the Grade 12 Online Results. It will take a few days for DHERST to do the online selections for each tertiary institution in the country. 

The final DHERST list will be published online in PDF format. We will let you know when the Tertiary Institutions selection comes out usually 3 - 5 days after the release of the Grade 10 and 12 exam results.

NDOE Results and DHERST Selections

First, the online result will come out, released by the NDOE, through the Measurement Servies Division (MSD). 

After that, the Department of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology (DHESRT) will use the marks to finalise their selections for PNG tertiary institutions; and make the selection listing for 2021 available on their website. 

Here is how the online results and selection works. 

TESAS Awards List - Universities

The Grade 12 selection for tertiary institutions in PNG, usually, comes out during the first week of January of the new year as seen in the last two years.

However, there were administrative problems with the Grade 12 selections in 2020 and 2021. The problems were fixed and the selection lists were updated and released to the public.

Here is what DHERST said about the updated Grade 12 selections listing for tertiary institutions:

The Department of Higher Education Research Science & Technology (DHERST) wishes to advise students and higher education institutions (HEIs) that it has revised the previous TESAS awards for continuing students for 2020 academic year. The award list published on the DHERST website on the 5th of January 2020 is retracted due to some technical problems beyond our control. This has been rectified and scholarships rewarded to all eligible students. (DHERST Press release | 19/01/2020)

When will the 2023 Selection list be published?

Based on last year's experience, we would infer that the selection list would be published late in December 2022 or early January 2023. Perhaps it is important to check the DHERST website during the Christmas and New Year period for DHERST press releases regarding the Grade 12 tertiary institutions selections for 2021. 

How to Confirm Grade 12 Students Selection and TESAS Status

The Grade 12 selection is done online and is quick. When the selection lists for all PNG Universities and non-universities are finalised, the DHERST publishes it on their website. Students, parents and stakeholders can download and check the Grade 12 student's status - whether they are selected or not!

Here is how to check the selection status (WITH VIDEO GUIDE). This article shows you how to use the Grade 12 student SLF number and search the downloaded PDF files, with ease :) So, check it out.
