The NEB SEE grade calculator is an essential tool for Class 10 students in Nepal awaiting or analysing their Secondary Education Examination (SEE) results. The National Examination Board (NEB) moved to a Grade Point Average (GPA) system, replacing the old division/percentage system. Understanding how to convert marks to grade points and calculate your overall GPA is essential for secondary school admissions in Nepal.
This guide explains the complete NEB grading scale, how SEE GPA is calculated, pass/fail criteria, what scores are needed for grade 11 stream selection, and what happens with Not Graded (NG) subjects.

NEB SEE Grading Scale: Marks to Grade Conversion
| Marks (%) | Grade | Grade Point | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 90–100 | A+ | 4.0 | Outstanding |
| 80–89 | A | 3.6 | Excellent |
| 70–79 | B+ | 3.2 | Very Good |
| 60–69 | B | 2.8 | Good |
| 50–59 | C+ | 2.4 | Satisfactory |
| 40–49 | C | 2.0 | Acceptable |
| 35–39 | D | 1.6 | Partially Acceptable |
| Below 35 | NG | 0 | Not Graded (Fail) |
Note: NEB SEE requires a minimum of 35% in EACH subject to pass. Getting NG (below 35%) in any subject means you must appear for that subject again.
How to Calculate SEE GPA
SEE GPA is the simple average of grade points across all subjects (not credit-weighted):
SEE GPA = Sum of Grade Points in All Subjects ÷ Number of SubjectsExample: SEE Result of a Student
| Subject | Marks | Grade | Grade Point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compulsory Nepali | 72 | B+ | 3.2 |
| Compulsory English | 65 | B | 2.8 |
| Mathematics | 81 | A | 3.6 |
| Science | 78 | B+ | 3.2 |
| Social Studies | 88 | A | 3.6 |
| Health, Population & Environment | 70 | B+ | 3.2 |
| Optional Mathematics | 55 | C+ | 2.4 |
| Optional Subject (Computer) | 62 | B | 2.8 |
Sum of GP = 3.2+2.8+3.6+3.2+3.6+3.2+2.4+2.8 = 24.8
SEE GPA = 24.8 ÷ 8 = 3.10
SEE Pass Criteria and Grade 11 Admission Requirements
SEE Pass Criteria
- Minimum 35% marks (Grade D or above) in each subject — including theoretical and practical separately
- Even if overall GPA is good, getting NG in one subject means you have to re-appear in that subject
- No overall minimum GPA to "pass" — passing each subject individually is the requirement
Grade 11 Stream Selection (Typical Requirements)
| Stream | Typical GPA Requirement | Key Subjects |
|---|---|---|
| Science (Management) | 3.0+ GPA | Science, Maths: minimum B |
| Arts/Humanities | 2.0+ GPA | Social Studies: minimum C |
| Commerce/Management | 2.4+ GPA | — |
| Technical/Vocational | 2.0+ GPA | — |
Requirements vary by school — always verify with the specific institution you are applying to.
What Happens if You Get NG (Not Graded) in SEE?
An NG in any subject means you have not passed that subject:
- You receive a partial marksheet indicating which subjects have NG
- You must appear in a Grade Upliftment Exam (previously "Supplementary Exam") for the NG subject(s)
- NEB conducts Grade Upliftment Exams approximately 2–3 months after main results
- After clearing, your result is upgraded — you can then apply to Grade 11
- Some colleges may not accept Grade Upliftment clearance for Science stream; check individual college policies
Improvement Exams
Students who have passed but want to improve their GPA for better college options can appear in Grade Improvement Exams within 1 year of the original result.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum GPA to pass SEE in Nepal?+−
There is no minimum overall GPA to "pass" SEE. A student passes SEE by achieving at least 35% (Grade D, 1.6 grade points) in EACH subject individually. Getting NG (below 35%) in any one subject, even with high marks in all others, means you must re-appear in that subject.
What does GPA 3.20 mean in SEE?+−
GPA 3.20 corresponds to a B+ average, meaning average marks of 70–79% across subjects. This is a good GPA for SEE — it qualifies for both Science and Management streams at most schools. For the top science colleges, 3.4+ is preferred.
How is SEE GPA different from university CGPA?+−
SEE GPA is a simple average (not credit-weighted) — all 8 subjects have equal weight. University CGPA is credit-weighted, where subjects with more credit hours have greater impact. SEE also uses a 4.0 scale, while most Indian and some Nepali universities use a 10-point scale.
Can I get admission to Class 11 Science with GPA 2.8?+−
Possibly, but it depends on the school. Most top science schools in Kathmandu require 3.0+ GPA with at least B+ (3.2 GP) in both Mathematics and Science. Schools with less competitive admission may accept 2.8 GPA. Government schools under NEB typically accept all students who pass SEE.
What is the highest possible GPA in SEE Nepal?+−
The highest possible SEE GPA is 4.0, achieved by scoring 90% or above (A+ grade) in all subjects. A GPA of 3.6 (all A grades, 80–89%) is also considered excellent. GPA 4.0 is rare and represents a truly exceptional performance across all eight subjects.
