Understanding Your SEE Marksheet
After the SEE (Secondary Education Examination) results are published, NEB sends a grade sheet – commonly called a marksheet – to every student through their school. This document lists each subject alongside your letter grade, but it does not print your overall GPA directly. You need to calculate it yourself using the grade points shown on the sheet and the standard NEB formula. This guide walks you through the entire process so you can check your SEE GPA from your marksheet without any confusion.
Your marksheet contains the following information for each subject: subject name, theory marks, practical marks (where applicable), total marks, letter grade, and grade point. The grade and grade point columns are the two pieces of data you need for the GPA calculation.
Reading Grades from Your Marksheet
Look at the grade column on your marksheet. You will see one of eight possible letter grades: A+, A, B+, B, C+, C, D, or NG. Each of these corresponds to a fixed grade point on the NEB 4.0 scale. If you see "NG" next to a subject, it means you scored below 35% and that subject carries 0.0 grade points. For the full grading scale reference, see our dedicated guide.
Write down the grade point for each of your eight subjects. All SEE subjects carry 4 credit hours each, giving a total of 32 credit hours.
Converting Marks to Grades
If your marksheet shows marks instead of (or in addition to) letter grades, use the table below to convert your percentage to the corresponding grade and grade point.
| Marks Range (%) | Grade | Grade Point |
|---|---|---|
| 90 – 100 | A+ | 4.0 |
| 80 – 89 | A | 3.6 |
| 70 – 79 | B+ | 3.2 |
| 60 – 69 | B | 2.8 |
| 50 – 59 | C+ | 2.4 |
| 40 – 49 | C | 2.0 |
| 35 – 39 | D | 1.6 |
| 0 – 34 | NG | 0.0 |
Calculating GPA from Marksheet – Worked Example
Suppose your SEE marksheet shows the following grades:
| Subject | Marks (%) | Grade | Grade Point | Credit Hrs | Quality Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| English | 72 | B+ | 3.2 | 4 | 12.8 |
| Nepali | 65 | B | 2.8 | 4 | 11.2 |
| Mathematics | 84 | A | 3.6 | 4 | 14.4 |
| Science | 58 | C+ | 2.4 | 4 | 9.6 |
| Social Studies | 77 | B+ | 3.2 | 4 | 12.8 |
| HPE | 90 | A+ | 4.0 | 4 | 16.0 |
| Computer Science | 81 | A | 3.6 | 4 | 14.4 |
| Optional I | 69 | B | 2.8 | 4 | 11.2 |
Step 1: Add all quality points: 12.8 + 11.2 + 14.4 + 9.6 + 12.8 + 16.0 + 14.4 + 11.2 = 102.4
Step 2: Total credit hours = 8 subjects × 4 = 32
Using an Online Calculator
If you prefer not to calculate manually, our SEE GPA calculator does the work for you. Enter your marks or select your grade for each subject, and the tool computes your GPA instantly. It follows the official NEB formula and automatically flags any subject where you received NG.
You can also use the GPA calculator from marks if you want to enter raw percentage scores and have them converted to grades automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
My marksheet only shows grades, not marks. Can I still calculate GPA?
Yes. You only need the grade point for each subject to calculate GPA. Look at the grade point column on your marksheet and follow the formula: sum all (grade point × 4) and divide by 32.
Why does my marksheet not show the overall GPA?
NEB prints subject-wise grades on the marksheet but does not print a cumulative GPA. You need to calculate it yourself or use an online tool. This is standard practice across all NEB grade sheets.
What if one subject shows NG on my marksheet?
NG means that subject scored 0.0 grade points. Include it in the calculation as 0.0 × 4 = 0.0. This will lower your GPA considerably. You will need to clear the subject in the supplementary exam, after which your GPA is recalculated.
Can I use this method for Class 12 marksheets too?
The grading scale and formula are identical for NEB Class 12. The only difference is the number and type of subjects, which varies by faculty (Science, Management, Humanities, Education). The step-by-step process remains the same.
