Understanding the NEB Letter Grading System

The NEB evaluates student performance based on a standardized letter grading system. Under current guidelines, theoretical and internal/practical evaluations are assessed separately.

• Non-Graded (NG): Students must achieve a minimum threshold in theoretical exams (typically 35%) to secure a passing grade. Those who score below the minimum requirement receive an “NG” mark and are not eligible for a composite GPA until cleared.
• Grade Point Average (GPA): Calculated on a 4.0 scale based on the weighted credit hours of each subject.

Always verify the current pass marks and grading criteria with the latest curriculum implementation directives published by the NEB.

What to Do After the Results Are Published?

Grade Increment (Chance) Examination

If you received an NG in one or two subjects, the NEB typically conducts a supplementary or grade increment examination within a few months of result publication. Keep track of the official NEB notice board for application deadlines, bank voucher submissions, and examination schedules.

Re-totaling (Re-checking)

If you believe there was a calculation error in your published grades, you can apply for re-totaling. You will need to submit an application through your school or directly to the relevant provincial NEB office along with the prescribed fee within the stipulated deadline (usually within 15 days of result publication). standard fee per subject for NEB Class 12 re-totaling
