Start with the official NOC portal

Use the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology NOC portal. Registration begins with a supported Nepal mobile number and one-time password. Use contact details you control so you can return to the application and receive service messages.

Select the study case that matches you

Document requirements vary by course level, subject and destination. The portal provides separate guidance for bachelor, nursing, postgraduate and other situations. Choose the closest correct case before treating any checklist as complete.

Prepare consistent documents

Common items can include citizenship, academic certificates or transcripts, an admission or offer letter, and an institutional invoice. Use the exact checklist displayed for your application. Check that your name, institution, course, intake and fee information agree across the form and uploaded records.

Review before submission

Upload readable files in the format and size accepted by the portal. Review the destination, institution and programme carefully before submitting. Keep the application reference and copies of the submitted files so you can answer a correction request without reconstructing the application.

Follow the live portal instructions

The Ministry may change required documents, payment steps or processing instructions. Use the current portal notice for your exact case. An NOC is an education administration document; it does not by itself grant a visa, confirm admission or guarantee that a payment will be accepted by a bank.
