New brokers' test results on Wednesday

Nepse will publish the final list of the eligible contenders of the new share brokers' license test on Wednesday. The last date of re-applying was on August 31, the next ten days Nepse had set aside to reevaluate the applications and whether they still meet the criterion. After the end of the deadline for application, only 162 of the original 316 applicants had reapplied for the exam. "So far, there is no sign of any possible hassles regarding the matter, so hopefully, the exam will take place as per schedule," said Nepse General Manager Shanker Man Singh.
"We are tabulating the information regarding the applicants examining whether they are still eligible or not," he added. After two and half year long hiatus, this time Nepse is moving cautiously with the whole process. Thus, the test for remaining 25 marks will also be automatic with instant result, in order to avoid any pressure or manipulations. Nepse had published the notice regarding resumption of the share broker's selection process on August 10 after two and a half years. The notice also asked the applicants to restate their eligibility in writing. When the process was halted in February 2008, Nepse had already selected 316 applicants from the total of 336 applicants that had to go through test of 25 marks. But Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) halted the process questioning the transparency in the appointment process just the day before the test was going to take place.
