EXAMINATIONS
 

PERIOD

The Centres will have two series of examinations a year - April and November. Internal Centres must register only students of the school who are registered members of The Institute of Professional Secretaries for the examinations.

Invigilators of examinations will be by the Teaching Staff, co-coordinated by Officials from the NIPS Head Office. Teachers will, however, not be allowed to invigilate subjects in their own areas of specialization.

 

NIPS SECRETARIAL TRAINING CENTRES:

Full time and part-time courses in Secretarial Administration, in-service training, seminars/workshops, etc, are held at intervals at our Training Centres and other Accredited Centres nationwide. Full details of such courses are circulated to members and organizations well in advance. Kindly contact the Institute for your special requirements.

 

NIPS EXAMINATIONS:

The Institute holds qualifying examinations for its Diploma in Secretarial Administration at all level in April and November each year.

Examinations may be held for group of members any where in the country, under the approved invigilators of the officials of the Headquarters and Branches of the Institute. Student/Licentiate members who have passed the Institute Diploma Part Three Finals are automatically elevated to Membership Grade and are entitled to use the designatory letters of MIPS after their names.

 

GENERAL:

Only registered student members may sit for the examinations. Applications to sit are accepted only from those who have paid their current annual subscriptions. Under the revised syllabus candidates are required to take each of the three parts of the qualifying examinations separately.

In order to pass a part of the examinations, a candidate must satisfy the examiners in all the subjects of the part at the same time. Failure to satisfy the examiners in any subject necessitates sitting the failed papers before moving to the next part.

 

RESULTS:

A candidate is normally notified of his/her results about four weeks after the last day of the Examinations. The notification states whether he/she has passed, failed or have been referred. A coding is given showing the grade awarded in the subjects taken.

 

CODING

“A” - 75% and above
“B” - 65% to 74%
“C” - 55% to 64%
“D” - 50% to 54%

“F” - 48% to o% (fail)

 

CERTIFICATION/DIPLOMA:
