The NABTEB Mathematics Syllabus 2025/2026 [Download in PDF] is now available for free download in PDF format. The syllabus, carefully crafted by subject experts, is designed to assist prospective candidates preparing for the NABTEB examinations. It offers valuable guidance to help students effectively navigate their studies and perform well in the exams.

Aims

This course aims to equip trainees with a solid understanding of mathematical concepts, which are essential for the effective use and application of both technical software and hardware. It focuses on enhancing problem-solving abilities within various trades, ensuring that students can apply mathematical principles in practical settings. Additionally, it serves as a foundation for further technical education at the post-secondary level.

Candidates are expected to answer questions from General Mathematics, which covers the essential mathematical principles needed for various technical fields. However, students specializing in Secretarial Studies and Book-Keeping are required to also answer questions from Commercial Mathematics, which focuses on the specific mathematical skills needed in those fields.

The course is structured to provide both general and specialized mathematical knowledge, helping trainees develop a well-rounded skill set for their trades. The examination scheme reflects this by assessing general mathematical competencies as well as field-specific commercial math knowledge, ensuring that all candidates are prepared for their future careers and further education.

Scheme OF Examination

The examination consists of Two Papers:

• 002-1 – Paper I (1½ Hrs)
• 002-2 – Paper II (2½ Hrs)

The total mark for both papers is 150.

1. Paper I: is made up of 50 multiple-choice items for 50 marks. All candidates are
expected to attempt this paper.

2. Paper II: Consists of three sessions namely A, B and C.

Section A consists of five questions from General Mathematics. All candidates are expected to attempt all questions. This section carries 40 marks.

Section B consists of six questions. All candidates are to attempt any four of the six
questions except Secretarial and Business candidates who are to attempt only two questions. Each question carries 15 Marks.

Section C consists of four questions from Commercial Mathematics for Secretarial and Business candidates only. Candidates are expected to attempt any two out of the four questions. Each question carries 15 marks.

Candidates should be familiar with units-length, area, cubic capacity, mass – and their abbreviations. Any currency unit used will be defined.

Examination Materials:

• Candidates are allowed to use the recommended mathematical statistical tables in the examination hall for the papers.
• It is strongly recommended that schools/candidates obtain copies of these tables for use through the course.
• Candidates should bring rules and complete mathematical instrument set for all papers.
• Borrowing of instruments from other candidates in the examination hall will not be allowed.
• The use of noiseless, cordless and non-programmable calculators is allowed.
• If required, the following will be provided for any paper.
• (i) Plain drawing sheets for construction work.
• (ii) Graph paper ruled in 2mm squares
