... the increasing number of back-paper students, the majority of students in the regular semester classes are back-paper holders. Whenever the semester starts, students simply plan for the preparation of back paper exam hampering the regular classes. In some affiliated colleges, students bunk the regular class almost one month before the back exam starts. However the regular class duration is 90 days as per IOE calendar, the teacher student contact hours is very less due to back paper exam set at the mid of regular semester. Even after completing the back exam, students enter into the assessment examination as a regular process which also disturb the regular classes. Due to this situation, it seems as if student won't be mentally prepared for the regular class and teacher-student's contact hour is not sufficient, however the calendar mentions the sufficient days according to university rule. These kinds of disturbances at the mid of the semester is impacting the regular exam leading to increase of failure rate. The concept of back exam in the middle of semester was introduced since 2009 with the objective that student's pass rate shall be increased if IOE can take back exam as early as possible after completing regular exam because it is expected that students with fresh mind shall be able to pass the exam. But Fig. 2 depicts the current scenarios where the objective is not achieved. If IOE is able to conduct such kind of back exam immediately after completing regular exam before the regular class starts, the objective shall be achieved but unfortunately the ECD could not conduct the back exam of previous semester immediately after completion of its regular exam. Hence restructuring the exam system is expected to reduce the fail rate in the regular semester. Practically, the back exam is hampering the regular classes and lab activities. Reforming the semester exam as per depicted in Fig. 4, i.e. If the back exam slot is moved behind the regular exam, the disturbances in the regular exam will be minimized with the sufficiency of teacher-student contact hours and the students would fully focused on the regular exam which shall be helpful to increase the pass percentage. After completing the regular exam, only the back paper students will remain focus in their back exam while the regularly passed students shall enjoy their free time planning for next semester classes. ...

The semester system is thought to be better than the yearly system of education. However, various barriers to the effective running of the semester system have to be managed before we realize its fruitfulness. The starkest indicators of the effectiveness of any education system are academic achievement, prompt employability, and entrepreneurship. The academic calendar, curriculum, physical infrastructures of education, and skilled human capital (educators and administrators) are important pillars of success. More important are students who need to be willing to adapt to unconventional ways of learning that demand more hard work. The students themselves should be active while the college is a platform and professors show the direction. During the five years of my assistant professorship in the subject of psychology, I found that the semester system is no better than the annual system because students come with the same old mindset of sitting passively and listening up to teachers. They barely complete all the assignments or presentations. The teachers are unskilled for the new market demands and applied aspects. They need to be trained. Incentives are not enough. Salary, wages, and facilities should be availed competitively. The country should honor the teachers and a management system should be set up in a way they perform the best honestly. This autoethnography of mine presents the problems existing in the semester system with respect to psychology subject and suggestions I have realized that can be adopted to improve on it.
बिज्ञान तथा प्रबिधी अन्तरगतको इन्जिनियरिङ् शिक्षाको महत्व हाम्रो देशमा मात्र नभई विश्वमानै उच्च छ र क्षेमतावान प्राविधीकहरुको माग संसार भरीनै बढेको तथ्याङ्कहरुबाट देख्न सकिन्छ। यसै सन्दर्भमा हाम्रो जस्तो बिकास-उन्मुख देशको लागि त गुणस्तरिय प्राबिधिकहरुको निकैनै खांचो देखिन्छ। भुक्मपले धोस्त भएका पुराना संरचनाको पुनरनिर्माण र नयां संरचनाको बिकास, जलस्रोतको धनि भएतापनि हामी जनाता अँध्यारोमै बस्नु पर्ने बाध्यता साथै सूचना तथा प्रबिधिमा खासै फड्को मार्न नसकेको अवस्थामा र नयाँ सम्बिधान मार्फत देशको राजनीतिक तथा भौगलिक परिवर्तन संगै देशमा प्राबिधीक दक्ष जनसक्तिको आवश्यकता बढ्दै गएको भने पक्का छ। इ. स. १९७२ देखि प्राविधिक शिक्षा सुरु भई प्रथम स्थापित इन्जिनियरिङ् अद्ययन संस्थान लगायत हाल देशमा इन्जिनियरङ् शिक्षा प्रदान गर्ने थुप्रै बिश्वबिद्यालयहरुको स्थापना भैसकेको भएता पनि अपेक्षाकृत रुपमा गुणस्तरिय जनशक्ति उत्तपादन भने भैरहेको देखिंदैन। आधुनिक युगको आधुनीकिकरण संगै स्थापित नयाँ बिश्वविध्यालयहरुको उत्पादन स्तरिय हुनु पर्ने हो तथापि यो देखिंदैन। माथील्लो निकायको उचित भूमिका, शिक्षा नीतिमा ल्याउनु पर्ने सुधार र एकरुपता अनि शैक्षिक गतिबिधिमा आधुनिकता अहिलेको माग हो। यस लेख मार्फत देशलाई आवश्यक पर्ने प्राबिधिक जनशक्ति निर्माणमा हाल स्थापित बिश्वबिध्यालयहरुले प्रदान गर्ने शिक्षामा के कस्तो गुणस्तर अवस्था छ? ति बिश्वबिध्यालयहरुले आवश्यकता अनुसारको जनशक्ति निर्माणमा के कस्तो भूमिका निर्बाह गरेका छन? आदि बिषयमा प्रस्तुत गर्नुको साथै गुणस्तरिय शिक्षा प्रदान गर्न देशको पुरानो र बिश्वमान चित्रमा स्थापित त्रिभुवन विश्वबिद्यालय इन्जिनियरिङ् अद्ययन संस्थान (इ. अ. स.) को थप भूमिका र यसको चुनौतिका बारेमा समेत प्रस्तुत गर्ने प्रयास गरिएको छ।
