How GPA is Calculated in National Examinations Board (NEB)
A complete guide to understanding the grading system for SEE and Class 12 in Nepal.
The National Examinations Board (NEB) of Nepal uses a standard Letter Grading System for both Grade 10 (SEE) and Grade 12. Understanding this system is crucial for students planning their higher education.
The NEB Grading Scale (4.0 Scale)
NEB evaluates students based on a 4.0 GPA scale. Here represents the standard conversion used for both Class 10 and 12:
| Marks Interval | Grade | Grade Point (GP) | Remarks |

| 50 - <60 | C+ | 2.4 | Satisfactory |
| 40 - <50 | C | 2.0 | Acceptable |

How to Calculate Your Final GPA
Your final GPA is not just an average of your Grade Points. It is a weighted average based on Credit Hours. Subjects with higher credit hours (like Math or Science) impact your GPA more than subjects with lower credit hours.
GPA = Σ (Grade Point × Credit Hour) ÷ Σ (Total Credit Hours)
Step-by-Step Calculation:
- Identify the Grade Point (GP) for each subject based on your marks.
- Multiply the GP of each subject by its Credit Hour.
- Sum up all the values from Step 2 (Total Quality Points).
- Sum up all the Credit Hours of your subjects.
- Divide the Total Quality Points by Total Credit Hours.
