About Nagaland Board of Secondary Education

NBSE was set up through an Act by the Nagaland Legislative Assembly and received the assent of the Governor on 15 November 1973. It started functioning on 01 October 1974, and in March 1975, the Board held its first High School Leaving Certificate Examination at 6 (six) centers for 2008 (two thousand and eight) candidates. In trying to emerge with her own identity, a series of workshops, seminars, training, and study tours were organized. Subsequently, the state-level curriculum committee held its first meeting on 30 March 1978, which led to a series of workshops to bring out our independent curriculum. The government approved the new curriculum, shaped after the state's needs, on 12 April 1979. Textbooks written or selected under the newly framed curriculum were used for classes 9 and 10 from 1981 and 1982, respectively.
