By Our Correspondent,Banke, May 31: Students who wish to enroll in the Dhambozhi Secondary School in Nepalgunj, Banke, have to pass an entrance exam. Principal Vamdev Subedi informed that this year student enrollment programme had been closed due to the pressure of students. 

The number of students coming to study in Dhambozhi has been on the rise every year. There are currently 2,760 students in classes up to 12th grade. Headmaster Subedi said that  around 40 percent of the students studying here have switched from private schools. 

Headmaster Subedi said, "It is concerning that the pressure on students is increasing. We turned back many students who came here for studying, and we have divided classes 11 and 12 into 5/5 sections for teaching and learning."

According to the school statistics, there are 48 students in early primary level, 230 in class 8, and 469 in class 11. While most Banke public schools are struggling to find enough students, this school has to conduct entrance to select students.  

Principal Subedi mentioned that even in the upcoming academic session, entrance exams will be conducted to admit students. 

Although it is a public school, after the educational reform, students even from private schools have been switching to study in Dhambozhi. Students from municipalities and districts outside Nepalgunj and Banke are also studying there.  

The school, established in 2014, was known as a not-so-good school until the recent past. But due to the cooperation and dedication of the teachers, staff and parents, it has become the most sought-after school for a decade now.  

In this school education is taught from primary level  to garde 12. Under technical education, subjects like computer engineering are taught from grades 9 to 12.
