NEB (National Examination Board) developed a grading system for the SEE examination. The grades students shall obtain in the examination in grade 10 will determine their eligibility for different subjects. This is also called the NEB Grade requirement for being eligible for higher studies. For every subject, there is a certain SEE GPA Requirement in NEB. You must meet the grading requirements to enrol in the course you choose. Check the SEE GPA requirement to study Class 11 or an equivalent course.
Initially, lots of confusion arose associated with a grading system. There were also some concerns about the control and determination of the grades. Students, teachers, and parents were confused regarding the minimum requirements for enrolling in Grade 11. NEB grade requirement is given below. There are different NEB grade requirements for different fields of study.
Addressing the confusion, the NEB (National Examination Board) came up with a summary of the NEB grade requirements.
SEE grades come in a format like the one shown in the image.

For any subject group, the students want to study, he/she requires a minimum GPA of 1.6 and a Grade as defined in the table above. However, for Science Subject Groups, the minimum GPA requirement is 2. Grade requirement in NEB suggests that a minimum “C+” is required in Science and Math, a minimum “C” in English, and similarly, a “D+” is needed in Social and Nepali. The National Examination Board has also cited the grade requirements explained in the table above in their official resources.
As described in the SEE Grade Requirement in NEB, one fulfilling all grade requirements but failing to meet the minimum GPA becomes ineligible to enrol in Grade 11. With the introduction of the Grading System, the examination governing body has also introduced a system where a student can re-attempt the exam. Should a student feel like he can improve the grade, he can re-appear in the examination for the specific subject.
SEE Result is out, and it’s time for students to select the colleges for further studies. Now, SEE passed students should make a vision and ambition for a career. The first thing for students is their interest. It’s well-known that if interest and education meet, you can succeed earlier.
