As the 2024 Grade 12, 10 and 8 exams were completed in October and going into the marking phases in November, you may wonder what will happen next. Here are PNG Insight's latest updates relating to the Grade 12 and 10 exam results 2024 and Grade 11 and DHERST selections 2025.
Take note of the important dates between now and December 2024, especially the results and selection dates.
Grade 10 exam results and selections
As expected, the Grade 11 selection process in 2024 will commence shortly after the announcement of the results. Here's what to expect:
Following the release of the Grade 10 exam results, the selection for Grade 11 and Grade 12 will be conducted.
Grade 12 students will proceed to tertiary institutions for further studies.
Grade 8 students will transition to Grade 9.
Other students may explore alternative options such as enrolling in FODE (Flexible Open Distance Education) or returning to their homes.
Grade 12 Exam Results (mypngexamresults.com)
Based on the past experience, the Grade 12 exam results for 2024 will be released by the Measurement Services Division of the Education Department to the Department of Higher Education Research Science and Technology (DHERST) by early December 2024. This will give ample time to DHERST to update the National Online Selection System (NOSS) for 2025 selections.
If you are a grade 12 student, it is important to check your results as soon as the results are available online so that you can make changes to your online School Leavers' choices.
Usually, DHERST gives five days Grace Period for students to make adjustment/s before the National Online Selection kicks in.
Grade 12 DHERST Selections 2024
PNG Insight has been following the Grade 12 DHERST National Online Selection System (NOSS) since it started in 2017/2018 and knows that online selection is the best thing spearheaded by the former higher education secretary.
In the years 2020 & 2021, there were administrative errors that caused a lot of inconvenience. Some of you will remember that the selection lists were recalled, updated and republished - this should be avoided.
NOSS is fast. It takes just hours for the selection to be done automatically online. The results can be available the next day.
As mentioned earlier, the Education Department will release the Grade 12 results to DHERST early in December 2024. (the exact date is yet to be confirmed). The higher education department will then verify the data from the education department before uploading it onto NOSS for the selection to take place.
Grace Period - NOAS apply.dherst.gov.pg
For Grade 12 students, you will have five days to check your marks and make adjustments to your initial choices (and preferences) for the higher institution in the country.
You will be using two (different) systems - one from the education department (NDoE) and the other from the higher education department (DHERST).
To check your 2024 exam results, use the MyPNGExamResults website run by MSD. (MyPNGExamResults website - mypngexamresults.com)
And to adjust your results, use the DHERST NOAS, National Online Application System. (DHERST NOSS platform - apply.dherst.gov.pg)
Also, Grade 12 and Grade 10 students can check their exam results using the MyPNGExamResults mobile app which could be downloaded via Google Play Store.
What DHERST say about the Grace Period 2024
DHERST emphasises that students should access their NOAS accounts during the grace period. This period is crucial as it is when students will begin making their choices based on their final grade 12 results.
It is important for students to ensure that they log in to their NOAS accounts within the specified dates.
During this time, if any of the five choices listed under "My Choices" are highlighted in red, it indicates that the student's final result does not meet the minimum program requirement set by the institution.
In such cases, students are required to change the red highlighted choice to a different program available in their program list.

PNG Insight has received numerous inquiries about the Grade 11 Selection process (this is actually the Grade 10 selection for Grade 11). This article aims to clarify the current situation, based on past observations. It offers a comprehensive look into how the Grade 11 selection has evolved over the years. Please note that the timelines shared are based on past writers' experiences and observations and may change depending on the education department's present circumstances, but here are the 4 stages of the selection process:
Release of Grade 10 Exam Results
Grade 10 selection for Grade 11 takes place in Port Moresby & Provinces
Education Secretary Sights the Selection List
GES/ICT division publishes Grade 11 selection list
How Grade 10 Selection Takes Place (Highlands, Momase, Southern and NGI)
The yearly grade 10 selection for grade 11 takes place in four stages. The selections start in the provinces after the Grade 10 examinations and culminate in Port Moresby where the results come out to students, parents, schools and stakeholders.
Stage 1: Release of Grade 10 Exam Results
The Measurement Services Division (Education Department) releases the Grade 10 results to the members of the provincial and national selection committee.
Stage 2: Grade 10 selection for Grade 11
The selection committee takes about two weeks to select new Grade 11 students for National High and Secondary Schools.
This provincial selection committee works with the General Education Services of the Education Department to do the selection in the provinces.
This year's selection dates for National Schools of Excellence and Secondary Schools are here.
Stage 3: Education Secretary Sights the Selection List
GES takes the list to the Education Secretary to sight and sign. This can take a couple of days to a week
Stage 4: GES/ICT division publishes Grade 11 Selection list of Grade 10 students selected to Grade 11
The GES works with the ICT Division to upload the file onto the Education Department website. This is a one-day work but can take up to a week to complete.
The selection committee and three divisions (MSD, GES and ICT) of the Education Department work together to bring the new Grade 11 selection list to you.
So, there you have it.
When will the 2023 New Grade 11 Selection list come out?
The General Education Services (GES) of the National Department of Education and Education Secretary will give you the answer to the question.
The Measurement Services Division will release the Exam Results for Grade 10 to the GES and Grade 11 selectors, usually on the first week of December every year.
This is Stage 1 of the 2024 Grade 10 selection for Grade 11.
From past experience, the actual selection can take two weeks - as we mentioned in this article. This is Stage 2 of Selection where the selectors meet in Port Moresby and finalise the Grade 11 Lists.
By stage 2, your principals and provincial education officers should have the name list of their respective schools.
How will the Education Dept Publish the new Grade 11 List 2025?
The General Education Services and ICT Divisions normally make the new Grade 11 selection list available in PDF according to the Regions and Schools.
Since last year, GES/ICT Divisions have attempted to try a *LOGIN* system but they did not carry it through due to a lack of technical capacity, we believe.
Neither GES nor ICT said anything about it, so you just have to wait and see what happens this year.
What's Happening Right Now
Right now, we believe the Grade 11 Selection Committee is finalising the selection lists.
Parents, guardians and students will have to wait till the secretary sights and signs the Grade 11 listings for 2024 (mentioned in Stage 3); and for GES and ICT to publish the list online (Stage 4).
You know the stages and how long it takes for selection to take place. We hope that answers some of your questions.

The DHERST Grace Period offers a unique opportunity for current Grade 12 students to make informed decisions for their School Leavers Form (SLF). Unlike previous years, students can now adjust their choices based on their exam marks during this period.
DHERST Online Application 2024 (NOAS LOGIN)
DHERST Online Application System (NOAS)
The National Online Application System (NOAS) significantly enhances the selection process. It provides students with upfront clarity by highlighting ineligible options in red, minimizing the risk of mistakes. Students can make up to five choices, increasing their chances of getting into a tertiary institution.
Previously, the manual SLF allowed only three choices and did not permit changes after submission.
Grade 12 students should maximize the Grace Period to secure a spot for 2024 at a tertiary institution.
Key Dates (expected) 2024/2025
The following important dates are crucial for examinations, results, and selections in Papua New Guinea:
Mid-December 2024: DHERST launches the 2024 selection for the 2025 academic year.
Early-December 2024: NOAS Grace Period.
Second Week of December 2024: The Education Department, through MSD, releases Grade 12 Exam Results to DHERST.
First Week of December 2024: Grade 10 and 12 Exam Results are launched.
Late November 2024: Education Officers/GES start 2024 Grade 11 Selections.
These dates are based on previous years and may vary slightly.
The 2024/2025 Grade 11 selection lists are likely to be released in the second or third week of December 2024.
Importance of the Grace Period
The Grace Period lasts five days, during which Grade 12 students should adjust their choices. DHERST will indicate eligibility on NOAS based on examination marks.
Here’s what DHERST says about the importance of the Grace Period:
"This [Grace Period] is a crucial period where you will start making your choices based on your final grade 12 results. Ensure to access your account during the mentioned dates. If you see a red highlight in any of your five choices under 'My Choices,' this means your final result has not met the minimum program requirement set by the institution. Therefore, you must change the red highlighted choice to a different program available in your program list."
The online selection is quick. Grade 12 students have around five days to adjust their choices to more suitable ones. DHERST will not grant access to make changes after this period. The Grace Period's due date is final.
Launching 2024 Selections for the 2025 Academic Year
The online selection via DHERST's National Online Selections System (NOSS) is efficient, completing the process in just three days.
DHERST may launch the 2024 selections for the 2025 academic year the week following the Grace Period’s due date, likely on the following Tuesday, based on past trends. If all goes to plan, students will see their selection status by the announced date.
Checking Your 2024 Grade 12 Exam Marks
By now, students should know their Grade 12 exam marks, accessible through the My PNG Exam Results website. Note that DHERST does not display Grade 12 students' exam marks.
NOAS, administered by DHERST, facilitates national admissions and selections into higher education institutions in Papua New Guinea. It primarily serves Grade 12 school-leaver applications.
Non-School Leaver Applicants
Non-school leaver applicants must contact their chosen institutions directly and follow the respective application requirements.
For further information, please contact DHERST Support Service at noassupport@dherst.gov.pg.
Stay informed and proactive to make the most of this critical period in your academic journey.
Firstly, the National Online Application System (NOAS) gives the students the right choice upfront by highlighting (in red) the 'ineligible' options.

The 2024 Selection lists for Grade 12, 10, and 8 students in PNG will be released after the 2024 exam results are available to selection committees. This typically occurs between October 2024 and January 2025.
2024/2025 Important Dates & Expectations
PNG INSIGHT UPDATES: Here is an overview of important dates for examinations, results, and selections. The expected dates are in reverse order and based on the past dates since 2021.

Alternative Pathways
However, it's important to note that some students may explore alternative options, such as enrolling in programs like the Flexible Open and Distance Education (FODE), or in some cases, returning to their hometowns to pursue other avenues. Each student's unique circumstances and aspirations play a role in determining the path they choose.
Overall, this period is marked by anticipation and optimism as students in Papua New Guinea strive to continue their educational journey and unlock new opportunities for personal and academic growth.
The Grade 10 national yearly exam results are usually released just before the Grade 11 Selection Conference on the first week of December.
The 2024 Selection lists for National High and Secondary Schools are, likely, to be published 2 weeks after the release of the results. That means that the selection committee will take a week to finalize the selection, and the education department will take another week to publish the list.
Here we take a look at why the Education Department needs to set the publication dates for the Release of Exam Results and Grade 11 Selection Lists, read about it here.
Grade 12 National Exam Results
The Education Department through the MSD will release the 2024 Grade 12 exam results to the Department of Higher Education, Research, Science, and Technology (DHERST) around the second week of December.
The Education Department (MSD) conducts the exams, coordinates marking, compiles students' exam marks and sends them to DHERST.
DHERST then uses the marks to select students for higher institutions.
2025 Grade 12 Selections Date
The Grade 12 students can check their examination results on/around December via the Education Department's (NDoE/MSD) website called My PNG Exam Results. Last year, the results came out on the 8th of December - this will give you an idea about when the exam results will be released this year.
Note that DHERST does not process the marks. DHERST usually takes less than a week to process the selection listings for tertiary institutions in the country.
It works in collaboration with universities, colleges, and other tertiary institutions to do the selection. But, first, the institutions MUST tell DHERST their quota - how many students they will accept for the academic year 2025.
So, unless the institutions provide the quotas on time DHERST will not release the listing.
It is important to note that the higher institutions NOT sending the quotas often resulted in delays.
2024 Grade 9 Selection List
The Grade 8 exam marking, results, and Grade 9 selection are the responsibility of the respective provinces. The Department of Education passed this responsibility to the provinces.
The education department will send the Grade 8 certificates to the schools/provinces before the end of December every year. However, many provinces have failed to issue Grade 8 certificates to students.
For Grade 10 students, the 2025 selections signify a transition to Grade 11 or vocational centres, where they can further their academic pursuits or acquire practical skills.
For Grade 12 students, it means striving for admission into tertiary institutions, paving the way for their higher education journey.
Similarly, Grade 8 students eagerly anticipate moving up to Grade 9, marking a significant step in their educational progression.
When is the Grade 11 Selection list coming out?
Based on the dates above we can infer that the Grade 11 selection lists will be released before the mid- December 2024.

Upon obtaining your Grade 10 or 12 exam results for the PNG 2024, it is important to prioritise securing and maintaining your exam results. Here's a step-by-step guide to ensure the proper handling of your exam results:
1. Download and Secure Your Results: Proactively download the PDF document containing your exam results. Save it securely on your personal device, either a smartphone or a computer. Avoid relying on screenshots, as they lack the permanence and authenticity required for official purposes.
2. Enhance Documentation and Credibility: Present the downloaded PDF to your parents, teachers, and school principal. Request the principal's signature and stamp to validate the authenticity of your results. These documents will be crucial for Grade 11 selections and tertiary school admissions. Obtaining the principal's endorsement strengthens your position in case of any discrepancies or inquiries.
3. Prioritise Account Security: Immediately change your My PNG Exam Results account password to a strong and unique combination that only you know. Refrain from sharing your password details or your exam results with anyone, maintaining the confidentiality of your personal information.
4. Access Support Services: If you encounter any difficulties or need assistance accessing your exam results, reach out to your family, headteachers or the National Department of Education (NDoE) for support.
What to do if you STILL need access to the MyPNGExamResults.com website?
If you cannot log in, try to interchange your surname and given name, and check your SLF number. If you have three names and have problems, try several combinations before seeking help.
If you are really stuck, one way is to go back to your school and confirm your password by checking your SLF number with your teachers or the deputy principal and the principal of your school.
Ask them to try the combination of your password and your username. After all the attempts, if you still cannot access your results, the teachers at your school, the deputy principal or the principal will have to call MSD (Measurement Services Division) and fix your problem.

The DHERST National Online Application System (NOAS) simplifies the Grade 12 School Leavers and Non-school Leavers application process, ensuring students apply for eligible programs during the Grace Period.
This innovative system clearly highlights ineligible options, reducing the risk of mistakes and enabling students to make informed decisions. Also, it allows students to select up to five choices, increasing their chances of acceptance into their desired tertiary institutions.
This streamlines the selection process and helps Grade 12 students make informed decisions during the Grace Period.
National Online Application System (NOAS)
The 2024 NOAS Application for Grade 12 School Leavers and Non-School Leavers provides a flexible and convenient approach. This new system offers more choices, allowing students to modify their selections as often as needed.
Unlike the old system, which limited students to three choices with no option for changes, the updated NOAS system enables you to select up to five institutions.
To make the most of this opportunity, research thoroughly and choose institutions that align with your goals. Regularly check the NOAS to see which institutions offer your desired courses. Seek advice from teachers, parents, guardians, and patrons to ensure your choices are well-informed and strategic.
This approach enhances your chances of securing a spot in a tertiary institution and helps you make informed decisions about your future.
2024 Grace Period - Its Importance
The 2024 Grace Period, which commences on 2nd December 2024 and ends on 5th December 2024, is a critical window for Grade 12 students to refine their choices. During these four days, you have the opportunity to 'fine-tune' your selections, with DHERST providing insights on NOAS regarding your eligibility based on your examination results.
DHERST highlights the significance of the Grace Period as follows:
"This [Grace Period] is a crucial period where you will start making your choices based on your final grade 12 results. Ensure to access your account during the mentioned dates. If you see a red highlight in any of your five choices under 'My Choices', this means your final result has not met the minimum program requirement set by the institution. Therefore, you must change the red highlighted choice to a different program available in your list."
It is better to use the Grace Period to adjust your choices to more suitable ones. After the due date, DHERST does not permit any further changes.
By mid-December, Grade 12 students will have received their exam results and be in a better position to adjust their selections in NOAS.
Make sure to take full advantage of this period to ensure your choices are well-informed and aligned with your academic aspirations.
Launching of 2024 Selection for 2025 Academic Year
