| 08:45 am – 09:35 am | 2nd Period |
| 09:35 am – 10:25 am | 3rd Period |
| 10:25 am – 11:10 am | 4th Period |
| 11:10 am – 11:30 am | Break |
| 11:30 am – 12:10 pm | 5th Period |
| 12:10 pm – 01:00 pm | 6th Period |
| 01:00 pm – 01:50 pm | 7th Period |
| 01:50 pm – 02:00 pm | Chhatta Manawaka Gatha Recitation and End of the Day |
Note: This schedule is provisional and may be adjusted in the coming months.
Period Allocation Still Under Review
Though the structure of the school day is already confirmed by the Ministry of Education, certain specifications on the method of the allocation of these periods on various grades are not available yet. More information is likely to be revealed as part of an overarching attack on educational policy in 2026.
