The National Department of Education in Papua New Guinea (PNG) is currently cleansing exam data for the 2023 Grade 10 and Grade 12 exams. This is a routine process to ensure the accuracy and reliability of results. Once the data cleansing process is complete, the results will be uploaded to the My PNG Exam Results website (www.mypngexamresults.com).
Important Dates 2023
The following are important dates related to the release of the 2023 Grade 10 and Grade 12 exam results and the selection process:
4th - 8th December 2023: Grade 11 National Selection(Announced by General Education Services Division, NDoE)
12th - 15th December, 2023: NOAS Grace Period (Released by DHERST)
The release of the PNG Exam Results 2023 is the work of the Measurement Services Division (of the NDoE). They will make an announcement about when to check the exam results before (or during) the selections.
Update 02.12.2023: Education Department has announced the Grade 10 and Grade 12 Exam Result release date, get the details here.
Grade 11 & DHERST Selections Impacts on Results Release Dates
The release dates for Grade 10 and Grade 12 exam results have important implications for the selection process. MSD must meet the deadline set by its sister division, General Education Services, and Higher Education Department, DHERST.
Grade 11 selectors need the Grade 10 results before the 4th of December 2023 to begin the selection process for the 2024 academic year. Similarly, DHERST needs the Grade 12 results for selection, but more importantly, students need their results between the 12th and 15th of December 2023 to adjust their preferences during the NOAS Grace Period.
Therefore, the exam results must be released before the selections begin. Any delay in the release of the exam results will have ripple effects and cause delays in the release of the Grade 11 selection lists and DHERST Grade 12 Selection.

The Grade 10 exam and Grade 11 selection process in Papua New Guinea (PNG) is an important moment for students. It is when they find out if they can go to Grade 11.
The release of Grade 10 exam results and the Grade 11 selection is a three-month long process that involves many different people, including the Department of Education, school principals, and provincial representatives.
This article will explain the timeline of events, the selection criteria, and why this process is so important for students, parents, and guardians.
Timeline of Events: Grade 10 Exam, Exam Results, and Grade 11 Selection
Here is a step-by-step timeline of the key events related to the Grade 10 exam results and Grade 11 selection process:
October: National Examinations
Grade 10 students across PNG take their national exams in October each year.
The week after the exams, selected Grade 10 teachers in each province mark the exams and record the students' scores.
Provincial Examination Supervisors (PESs) and provincial marking committees coordinate the making in each province
The PES sends the Grade 10 results to the Measurement Services Division of the National Education Department in Port Moresby.
November: Data Checks and Release of PNG Grade 10 Exam Results
In November, the Measurement Services Division (MSD) of the Department of Education checks the Grade 10 students' scores to make sure they are accurate.
This is a very important step because it makes sure that the student's information is correct before the results are released to the selections.
This year (2023), the Grade 11 National Selection will take place 4th - 8th of December, 2023, according to the Education Department. But with the exam results coming out on the 8th of December, the selection will take place after the scheduled date. Stay in touch on PNG Insight as we bring you the details.
December: Grade 11 Selection
Two key education entities are involved in the Grade 11 selection process: the General Education Services (GES) of the Department of Education, and school principals or provincial representatives.
The MSD processes the Grade 10 exam results and makes them available online.
The GES and principals use these results to select students for Grade 11.
The selection process can take up to two weeks to finish.
Once the selection process is finished, the GES publishes the Grade 11 selection list on the Department of Education's website.
Grade 11 Selection: Weighted-Score System vs. Circumstance
Weighted-Score System
The weighted-score system is the primary method for selecting students for Grade 11 in Papua New Guinea. Students are assigned a weighted score based on their performance on the Grade 10 national exams, with higher scores given to more difficult subjects. Students with the highest weighted scores are selected for Grade 11, regardless of their province or other circumstances.
Watch this video to find out how the Education Department uses this system to select students.
Selection by Circumstance
In addition to the weighted score system, there are several other factors that can influence the selection of students for Grade 11. PNG Insight lists the 5 main factors below.
Academic performance:
A student's academic performance on the Grade 10 national exams is still a very important factor in the selection process, even if they are selected based on circumstance.
Number of spaces available:
There are only a limited number of spaces available in secondary and national high schools. Students may miss out on selection for Grade 11 even if they do not have the highest weighted scores.
Parental requests:
Parents and guardians can write to school principals to explain why they want their child to go to a particular school. Principals may consider parental requests when selecting students for Grade 11, but they are not obligated to do so.
Special circumstances:
In some cases, special circumstances such as family reasons or job transfers may allow principals to select students for Grade 11 at their schools. Principals may consider special circumstances when selecting students for Grade 11, but they are not obligated to do so.
Student preferences:
Students can indicate their preferences for secondary and national high schools on their School Leavers Forms (SLF). Principals may consider student preferences when selecting students for Grade 11, but they are not obligated to do so.
Significance of the Grade 10 Exam and Grade 11 Selection Process
The Grade 10 exam and Grade 11 selection process is a very important event in the lives of PNG students, parents, and guardians. The outcome of this process determines a student's eligibility to continue their secondary education and pursue their academic dreams.
For students, the Grade 10 exam and Grade 11 selection process is a crucial milestone in their academic journeys. It is a time for them to reflect on their academic progress and set goals for the future. It is also a time for them to seek support from their parents, teachers, and mentors.
For parents and guardians, the Grade 10 exam and Grade 11 selection process is a time of great anticipation and anxiety. They want their children to succeed and have the best possible opportunities for the future. However, they are also aware of the challenges that their children may face in the competitive selection process.
Conclusion
The Grade 10 exam and Grade 11 selection process in Papua New Guinea is a critical event that shapes the academic journeys of students. The transparency and fairness of this process, along with the dedication of educational authorities, ensure that deserving students receive the opportunities they need to achieve their goals in life.

The education department does not publish the exact date for the release of the exam results and the Grade 11 selection list in the Education Calendar. It only announces the date when the results and selection lists are ready. That means that you will have to depend on news, social media, and PNG education website for the latest on Grade 10 (and Grade 8 and 12) results and selection.
Please note that this information is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for official information from the education department.
As the 2023 Grade 12, 10 and 8 exams are taking place 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 2023 and Grade 11 and DHERST selections 2024.
Take note of the important dates between now and December 2023, especially the results and selection dates.
Based on the past experience, the Grade 12 exam results for 2023 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 2023. This will give ample time to DHERST to do data cleansing and finetune the student's results for 2024 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 2023. (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.
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 2023 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 2023
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.
Important dates for Grade 12 students

Past Exam Results Dates
The results for 2023 comes out the same time as the results for the past year unless something is seriously wrong. Here is what we learnt from the past two years.
The 2020 and 2021 Grade 10 and Grade 12 Online exam results were released a week after the announcement was made by the Department of Education.
The MyPNGExamresults website mentioned the 3rd of December 2020 was the release date. However, our update indicated that the actual results were released on the 10th of December 2020 and 2021. There was a delay of 1 week.

The Grade 11 selection list for 2024 is usually released by the General Education Services (GES) of the National Education Department before the end of the year, mid-December. Perhaps it is important to understand the effort (and appreciate the timebound work) the education officials put into selecting the Grade 11 students.
Here is a brief of how the grade 11 selection takes place, starting with the students taking the exams until the release of the Grade 11 selection list in PDF.
The 6 pointers will help you to understand the selection process as you await the list to come out this year - see the link below for the latest update on PNG Insight:
1. Grade 10 Exams taken by students in schools in the provinces.
2. Grade 10 Students' scripts are marked in the provinces.
3. Results are sent from the provincial marking centres to the Education Department in Port Moresby (MSD deals with the online Grade 10 results/marks).
4. MSD and General Education Services (a section of the National Department of Education) facilitate the selection.
5. Provincial reps, principals and education officers meet in the provinces and use the Grade 10 students' final results to select the 2024 Grade 11 students for national and secondary schools in the country.
6. The 2024 Grade 11 students selection PDF lists are published on the education department website.
A recent article on Grade 10 results and Grade 11 selection is available here.
How long does it take to do Grade 11 selection?
In 2020, it took 10 days (from the end of the selection) for the GES to publish the Grade 11 selection list. It took longer in 2021 (3 weeks) to finalise the publishing of the selection list in PDF. In 2022, the exam results came out 2 days early - this was since the selection was computerised, and done online. PNG Insight expects the 2023 Grade 11 selection for the 2024 academic year to take place within a week and finalised the published thereafter. Here is the latest article, read about it.
This may seem long for the waiting parents and stakeholders, but it is important to get it right and also for the education secretary to see the selection listing.
Therefore, though it is a time-bound selection, GES and the education department do it well in 10 days after selections have been made.
