Ministry of Education, Science and Technology of Nepal Government has implemented the letter

grading system in School Education Examination (SEE) since 2072 B.S. The door of Pre-diploma

The council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT) has been developing and

implementing Pre-diploma level Apprenticeship curricular programs. The Apprenticeship training

program is one of the distinct training modalities under the Enterprise-based curricular program. It

is dual training system (DTS) and it involves an instructional mode of delivery for technology-based

education and training in which learning takes place in two venues: the technical school or training

institute and the company or industry (Resource Organizations). It is also known as combined form

of institute based training and industry practice or industrial training curricular program. In addition,

practice in an industry practice is also a means of instruction. Here, the term industry is not a single

area, it is meant generally to include all the sectors of the economy in our community, which range

from the manufacturing firms, service shops, business establishments, government agencies to the

NGOs that employ the mid-level technical manpower that are trained by TVET institutions as well

as colleges and universities to other types of training institutions.
