Recognition

The General Certificate of Education (Ordinary Level), or O Level, is the national school-leaving examination in several countries, including Singapore, Brunei and Mauritius (where it is taken as a 'group' examination – the Cambridge School Certificate). It is also widely taken in anglophone African countries and in Pakistan. O Levels are normally taken in seven to nine subjects across the curriculum after 11 years of education. The courses usually require 150 hours of teaching over two years.

O Level grading is on a five-point scale (A–E). Universities in many countries, including Canada and the USA, will admit students on the basis of their O Level performances alone.

Grade C in O Level English Language satisfies the English proficiency requirements of many universities in the UK and other anglophone countries.

According to the Directory of Recognition and Equivalence of Education published by Curriculum Development Centre, Tribhuwan Uninversity, GCE O Level with five subjects is equivalent to the eleventh grade. This course enjoys more acceptance than other similar equivalent courses and is globally recognized.
