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.
