Subjects offered
The course structure at SANN remains broadly consistent across Grades 11 and 12. Students study compulsory subjects alongside the central science subjects.
The subject combination includes:
-
Compulsory English
-
Compulsory Nepali
-
Social Studies or Mathematics
-
Physics
-
Chemistry
-
Biology or Computer Science
Students choosing Biology work with subjects relevant to life sciences and health-related undergraduate education. The Computer Science option gives greater exposure to computing and may support later study in information technology, computer science, or engineering-related areas.
Physics and Chemistry remain central to both routes. Mathematics is also important for students planning to pursue engineering, computing, physical sciences, or courses with substantial quantitative content.
Science learning at SANN
The college has laboratory facilities for Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Computer Science. These laboratories support the practical side of the +2 Science curriculum by giving students space to work with scientific equipment, observations, experiments, and computer-based exercises.
SANN has five laboratories serving its science, biotechnology, information technology, and management programs. The campus also includes internet-supported lecture halls, study areas, research spaces, examination halls, a student learning hub, and library and e-library facilities.
The library contains more than 6,000 books and receives magazines and print newspapers. Students can also use the ProQuest online database for access to books, journals, and other academic resources.

Who may consider +2 Science?
The program may suit students who are interested in scientific subjects and are prepared for regular study in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, or Computer Science.
Students should expect numerical exercises, scientific theory, laboratory work, written assignments, and regular preparation across several demanding subjects. Choosing between Biology and Computer Science should be based on the student’s academic interests and intended direction after Grade 12.
The Biology route may be relevant to students considering health sciences, biotechnology, agriculture, biological sciences, or laboratory-based education. The Computer Science route may be relevant to students considering computing, information technology, software, data, or engineering-related studies.
Study options after +2 Science
Students completing +2 Science can consider bachelor-level programs in health sciences, engineering, computer science, information technology, agriculture, forestry, biotechnology, and natural sciences, subject to the eligibility and entrance requirements of the chosen institution.
SANN offers several related undergraduate programs, including B.Sc. Biotechnology, B.Sc. CSIT, and Bachelor in Information Technology. Entry into each program follows its separate university requirements and admission procedure.
